Astronomers do not consider any planets or bodies of Rahu and Ketu in the sky. But, according to the calculation of Indian astrology, Rahu and Ketu signify two points of intersection of the orbiting paths of the Sun and the Moon. Rahu and Ketu lie opposite the Earth in one direction (180 degrees). In astrology, their existence has been accepted as a shadow planet because as per any entity that affects human life is called a planet.
These two zodiac signs transmit zodiacs at an opposite speed other than the planets at a difference of 180 degrees. It takes 18 months to travel on one zodiac and about 18 years to travel on twelve zodiac signs.
Rahu’s behaviour is seen as the most influential in human life. Effects of Rahu in 12 different zodiac signs are described below:
(i) Effect of Rahu in the 1st house of a horoscope:
The first house is called Lagna or Ascendant, which tells about many things including the nature of the person and his height etc. While the first house is said to be influenced by Mars and the Sun, this house is like a throne. The planet sitting in the first house is considered the king of all the planets.
The native will get a higher post than his/her qualification here. It will also yield good results from the government. Rahu in this house will give results similar to the Sun in the exalted position. But the spirit in which the sun is sitting will be affected. If Mars, Saturn and Ketu are weak then Rahu will give bad results otherwise it will give good results in the first house.
It is said in the Vedic literature that each and every planet has its own time span when it gives the best results (either good or bad) in the life of a native. Different planets have a different time span in a native’s life. Rahu is expected to give its best results between the age of 42-47 in a native’s life.
