In astrology, Rahu is considered a shadow planet, associated with materialism, illusion, confusion, and sudden events. The impact of Rahu in life can be profound and dangerous. A negative Rahu can push a person to the point of madness. Rahu is not inherently bad, but when connected with confusion, greed, and ignorance, its effects can become terrifying and lead life astray. If you control Rahu with truth, patience, and meditation, it can guide you to success in fields like depth, research, technology, and mysteries. Let’s understand how to identify a negative Rahu and its effects on your body and mind… When and why does Rahu give malefic results?
If Rahu is with malefic planets (like Saturn, Mars, Ketu) or placed in malefic houses (6th, 8th, 12th), or if Rahu is in a hostile relationship with the Moon, Jupiter, or Venus, or afflicts them, or if it’s in a debilitated or enemy sign (like Sagittarius, Pisces, etc.), or if Rahu is placed in the 2nd, 4th, 5th, 7th, or 8th house from the Ascendant or Moon with no benefic aspect, then in all these conditions, Rahu provides malefic results. If Rahu’s Dasha or Antardasha is with malefic planets, sudden accidents, betrayal, addiction, humiliation, mental confusion, and strange behavior are observed. For example, if Rahu transits over the Moon or Ascendant, it can cause confusion, mental stress, and mistakes in decisions.
Additionally, some of your habits can worsen Rahu’s position. If you often lie, use borrowed money, drink alcohol, consume tamasic food, or deceive people, these habits make Rahu provide malefic results.
A negative Rahu has a very bad impact on the mental and emotional level. It causes unnecessary fear or confusion. There is confusion in decision-making, one often gets involved in bad company, and unnatural desires or bad habits like addiction to substances emerge. A malefic Rahu leads to dishonor in society or family, a habit of lying, misleading others, and accusations of fraud, as well as the fear of being caught in illicit relationships.
Regarding physical health, a negative Rahu can cause headaches, mental illness, boils, skin diseases, sudden illnesses or accidents, nightmares or sleeplessness, addiction to alcohol, smoking, or other substances.
