Remedies for Planet Rahu in Indian Astrology

In Indian astrology, Planet Rahu is a shadow planet known for creating illusion, confusion, obsession, and sudden ups and downs. Positioned wrongly in a horoscope, Rahu can bring mental worries, addictions, legal issues, losses, scandals, and strange obstacles in life. However, when kept under control, Rahu can also provide name, fame, innovation, success in foreign lands, and unexpected gains. That is why Vedic astrology recommends certain remedies to neutralize Rahu’s negative impact and channel its energy positively.

Rahu indicates irreligious pursuits, adultery, faulty logic, sinful deeds, wickedness, royal status, pilgrimage, foreign residence, old age, poison, snakes, reptiles, air, space, sudden disaster, difficult terrain and south-west direction. It also concerns itself with chronic and incurable diseases, insanity, phobias, snake bites, non¬healing wounds, etc. Rahu is said to be malefic if it is aspected or is associated with malefic planets or is situated in 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th or 12th house.
