Articles about Rahu (North Node)

• Which dasha is running for you in 2026 and 2027There is no dasha that everyone shares in a given year. Yours depends on the Moon at your birth. Here is how the cycle works and how to find your own period.
• Vedic astrology in 2027: the transits that matter2027 turns on three slow transits. Saturn leaving Pisces for Aries in stages, Jupiter crossing into Leo, and the nodes holding Capricorn and Cancer.
• Ugadi 2026, the new year in the panchang, and what the year actually holdsUgadi falls on Thursday 19 March 2026, the first day of the lunar year. What a year reading can honestly say comes from the slow planets, not your rashi.
• Swati nakshatra and the work that suits itSwati sits in Libra and is ruled by Rahu. Tradition reads it as independent, mobile and persuasive, which points at work you can steer yourself.
• Swati nakshatra, its famous names, and the ones that do not check outSwati celebrity lists are built from birth dates alone, so about half are wrong. Here are the names that hold up when the Moon is actually computed.
• Simha rashi, Rahu and career, without the promisesRahu is in Aquarius, the 7th from Simha, and Ketu sits on Simha itself. Only in December 2026 does Rahu reach a house that touches work at all.
• Shatabhisha nakshatra celebrities, and why most of those lists are guessworkShatabhisha is the 24th nakshatra and sits entirely inside Aquarius. Most celebrity lists for it are unverified, and here is how to check one yourself.
• The 7th lord in Swati nakshatra, and what it actually indicatesWhat the 7th lord in Swati says about partnership, why the foreign spouse and multiple marriage claims do not hold, and how the placement is really read.
• Secrecy and distance in a relationship, and why sign lists get both wrongNo rashi keeps relationships private and no rashi is built for distance. What a chart does show is where privacy and separation sit, and in which house.
• Second marriage in the kundli, and which house is actually read for itTradition usually reads the 2nd house for a second marriage, reached as the 8th from the 7th. Schools differ, and no chart decides whether a marriage ends.
• Saturn and Rahu in the 5th house, Virgo ascendantFor a Virgo ascendant the 5th house is Capricorn, so Saturn there sits in its own sign as the 5th lord. Here is what that plus Rahu is actually read as.
• Rahu and Mars together in Aquarius, and what that combination really asksRahu met Mars in Aquarius in March 2026. Tradition calls it Angarak yoga, and it indicates heat and haste rather than disaster.
• Rahu and Ketu on the Pisces and Virgo axis, and marriageWhy the delayed-marriage claim about the Pisces and Virgo nodes is overstated, and the honest answer on reading a spouse from the seventh lord.
• Rahu in the tenth house and what it does to a careerRahu in the tenth house is read as strong ambition and visibility that arrives in jumps. It is not a guarantee of fame. Here is the honest version.
• Rahu in the seventh house, and what it says about a marriageRahu in the seventh house is not a divorce sentence. Tradition reads it as an unconventional marriage and a partner idealised before being known.
• Rahu in the 7th house, in marriage and in business partnershipsRahu in the 7th house does not break a marriage. It raises the appetite for partnership and lowers the accuracy of your first read of a person.
• Rahu in the 7th house, and what it actually does to relationshipsRahu in the 7th house intensifies partnership, bringing pull, unconventional matches and expectations that need checking. It is not a separation verdict.
• Where Rahu actually does well: the 3rd, 6th and 11th housesRahu is comfortable in the 3rd, 6th and 11th houses, where its appetite has somewhere useful to go. What each one indicates, and what it does not.
• Rahu in the 10th house and Ketu in the 4thThis axis points ambition outward and leaves the home ground unsettled: an unconventional rise in career, at the cost of feeling rooted anywhere.
• Rahu and Ketu in your kundli, and how their positions are worked outRahu and Ketu are the two points where the Moon crosses the Sun's path. They are always exactly opposite, move backwards, and take 18 months per rashi.
• Rahu in the 7th house, and what it really says about marriageRahu in the 7th house points to an unusual, strongly charged partnership and to expectations that need watching. It is not a verdict on your marriage.
• How planetary transits affect your career and your moneyA transit is where a planet is now, moving over your birth chart. It shifts pressure and timing around your work. It does not overrule the chart.
• Mars with Rahu, the anger that arrives before you doMars joined to Rahu, often called Angarak yoga, indicates a temper that comes on fast and a drive that overshoots. It is not a curse.

• Lucky and unlucky dates, and what the panchang actually marksNo date is lucky or unlucky for everyone. The panchang marks windows that tradition favours or avoids for a specific act, judged against a specific chart.
• Lal Kitab remedies for money, and what they can honestly doLal Kitab money remedies are cheap acts you do yourself, meant to steady the grahas tradition ties to earning. Worth doing, and no substitute for work.

• Ketu in the 7th house, Rahu in the 1st, and marriageKetu in the 7th always means Rahu in the 1st, because they sit opposite. Tradition reads it as distance inside closeness, not as a marriage that fails.
• Ketu in the 7th house and the spouse appearance questionKetu in the 7th house is read as detachment in partnership, not as a description of your spouse's face. Appearance readings from one placement do not hold up.

• Jupiter and Rahu in the 7th house of the marriage chartWhat tradition holds when Jupiter and Rahu share the 7th house of the marriage chart, why it is not a divorce forecast, and why the birth time decides it.
• Gemstones for Rahu, and when not to wear oneTradition gives Rahu hessonite, gomed, in silver on the middle finger. A stone is support, not a cure, and never a hurried purchase.
• Career transits in 2026 and 2027, read from your rising signSaturn holds in Pisces through 2026 and reaches Aries in June 2027, Jupiter enters Cancer in June 2026. The house each falls in, from every rising sign.

• Rahu sitting with a debilitated planet in your kundliWhen Rahu shares a sign with a debilitated planet, tradition holds it exaggerates that planet's uneasy side. It is rarely as bad as it reads.
• Rahu in the seventh house, and what it says about partnershipRahu in the seventh house of a kundli is read as a pull toward an unusual partnership, not a mark of divorce. What tradition holds, and its limits.
• Rahu and Ketu in 2026 and 2027, without the fearRahu is in Aquarius and Ketu in Leo until about the start of December 2026, then Capricorn and Cancer for eighteen months. What the shadow planets do not mean.
• Rahu in the 10th house, and what it really does to a careerRahu in the 10th house describes hunger for standing, not a guaranteed rise. Here is what the placement actually does, where it goes wrong, and what the rest of the chart decides.
• What Rahu has to do with fame, cinema and business abroadTradition links Rahu to image, appetite and foreign ground, which is why it comes up around film careers and business abroad. Here is what that means.
• Pluto in the 7th house, and why a kundli does not use itPluto is not one of the nine grahas, so a kundli does not use it at all. Here is what Vedic practice reads about a marriage instead.
• Pluto in Aquarius, and what a Vedic chart uses insteadPluto entered Aquarius in the western zodiac in late 2024. Vedic astrology does not use Pluto, and by the sidereal count it is still in Capricorn.

• Career and money inside a mahadashaThe mahadasha running in your chart shapes which years favour building a career and which favour holding what you have. It indicates conditions, not amounts.
• Does a mahadasha damage a relationshipA mahadasha does not break a relationship on its own. It changes what each person needs and how much strain the bond is being asked to carry.
• Which mahadasha is linked with going abroadTradition links foreign residence with the 12th house, long journeys with the 9th, and Rahu with unfamiliar ground. A mahadasha gives a window, not a visa.
• Ketu in the 7th house, read honestlyKetu in the 7th house is read as distance inside marriage, not the absence of it. It cannot tell you what your spouse will look like.
• Cancer horoscope for tomorrow, and how to work it out yourselfWhat actually changes for Cancer rashi between today and tomorrow is the Moon's position. Here is how to read it from the panchang instead of guessing.
• Angarak yoga, Mars with Rahu, and the three things it gets confused withAngarak yoga is Mars joined with Rahu. In 2026 that happened once, in Aquarius, exact on 14 March. What tradition reads into it, and what it is not.
