Rahu: The Planet of Illusions

RAHU-THE PLANET

The 8th planet of the solar system and considered as an invisible planet exerts a great impact on human life. Rahu doesn’t own a zodiac sign and is also known as “ChayaGraha”.

The favourable results can be achieved if Rahu is placed in the 3rd, 6th, and 11th houses of a birth chart. Free kundali can be checked online to see the position of Rahu. Its friendly planets are mercury, Venus, and Saturn. Sun, moon, and mars are not very friendly with Rahu however. 

Rahu is a demon’s head fixed on a serpent body and hence it’s quite violent, mischievous, and aggressive. A person with Rahu present on the birth chart would be full of anger. He would be full of secrets that are dark and terrifying. Smugglers, drug addicts,wizards, etc have Rahu in their kundali and hence very evil, unusual, and unpredictable.

WHY RAHU IS CALLED ILLUSION PLANET?

Because Rahu is a demon, it creates confusion and makes one believe in non-existent things. It creates confusion and the spell it creates can be called Maya jaal! High usage of electronics and internet and social media indulgence make Rahu present everywhere! The person will not be able to see things clearly and will be lost in the dreamy world where not everything can come alive. 

Confusion is no lie and one has to be very careful and understand the illusion by analyzing its effects. Its presence in our lives is only through its effects and illusions. It has no physical existence. 

It develops a connection with everyone to make them believe how powerfulRahu can be and give them a sense of freedom and a materialistic approach toward life. Rahu often makes people selfish and believe in unrealistic goals.

Another aspect of the illusion of Rahu is that the person feels connected to the outside world. Sometimes there is a connection between the present world with other supernatural things that are considered to be from the outer world.

Unusual stories and experiences that we hear from people are nothing but the illusions of Rahu.Only a person with a very strong influence of Rahu can feel such energies, unlike normal people. These illusions created by Rahu give rise to psychosis and strong energies can be felt that disturb the conscious mind of a human being.

THE INFLUENCE OF RAHU

Rahu influences a person by dominating their thoughts and forcing them to desire endless things which have no existence. Past life unfulfilled desires are also aroused by Rahu. It makes you realize that the world is the only truth. It is a never-ending circle and a person cannot come out of it until he/she is spiritually awakened. Rahu has such an influence that the person will either be too materialistic or too spiritual. It’s a bondage from which one cannot come out and also prefer to stay within.
