Rahu Mantra | In English

Planet Rahu is one of the most dreaded planets in astrology, yet it has a significant place of its own. Though usually called out for delivering bad results to the native, but in its best or benefic form, Rahu can bring an abundance of luxuries, wealth and success to the native. In astrology, Rahu is called the shadow planet, which means it doesn't have a physical form like every other planet in astrology. Yet, despite being in a showdown form, the malefic effects of Rahu are most dreaded. However to fight these malefic effects of Rahu in the horoscope, Rahu mantras come in handy.

As per astrologers, the strong or feeble presence of Rahu in the kundli of the native is the result of his or her past karma, especially the karma of the past birth. Means, if you had done good deeds in your past life, Rahu is likely to be placed in a favour of you. Also, a positive Rahu rewards you for your past good deeds in the present birth. On the other hand, bad comes to those carrying the load of bad karma from their previous birth.

When Rahu is malefic in your horoscope and it conjuncts with other planets in kundli, it creates different types of bondages (problems). For example, Venus is considered the planet of love. Hence, in any case, if Venus is being influenced by a malefic Rahu, it can bring hiccups or problems in your love life. And sometimes, these hiccups can lead to situations like betrayal, breakups, etc., in marriage or love. Thus it is important to always keep the harmful effects of Rahu in the native’s kundli to a bare minimum. According to the Hindu belief, Rahu can not discriminate between good and evil, and so it works against the standards of righteousness (Dharma). Hence all are equal for the planet.

Rahu with other planets

Enmity, diseases and debt are the chief qualities of Rahu. Yet, on the positive side, those under the influence of Rahu are said to be confident, brave and fearless. The positive qualities of Rahu are one of the most desired, and having a strong Rahu in the Kundli can help you with these qualities. Strengthening of Rahu in kundli can be done by chanting the Rahu mantras on a regular basis.

As Rahu has no sign of its own, the planet impacts the Lord of each house in the natives’ kundli. Rahu shows good results if the Lord it is in a relationship with is a friend to Rahu and negative results if the Lord of the house or planet it is in conjunction with is an enemy to Rahu. As per the science of Astrology, Rahu gets stronger in the 3rd, 6th, and 11th houses.

In kundli, Rahu when comes together with Venus ends up making the natives greedy. This may lead him to make wrong decisions in life. Rahu when aligns with Jupiter forms Guru Chandal Yoga. A combination of Rahu and Mars prompts the native to make wrong decisions. S/he may end up taming bad habits such as smoking, drinking, etc.

On the other hand, if Rahu is placed with an auspicious Mercury, it can lead to business growth for the native. However, if Rahu comes together with Mercury in an inauspicious position, it can be unlucky for the natives.

Rahu is also said to bring bad results if placed in the 6th, 8th or 12th house or if in conjunction with the lords of these houses. Rahu also symbolises knowledge, however, in the presence of malefic planets this attribute can have a reverse impact and it can make the native mentally weak.

Likewise, there are many more combinations in Kundli that can result in Rahu dosh in Kundli. A malefic Rahu is never good for natives as it brings hindrance in career, love life and more. However, the harmful effects of Rahu can be tackled by reciting the Rahu mantras.
