What is Rahu in Astrology

Rahu is a shadow planet that does not have a body except the head, but it has an immense effect on our lives. Rahu represents desire, illusion, ambition, and materialism. However, an unbalanced Rahu creates confusion, illusion, loss of wealth, sudden mysteries, doubt, and career challenges.

According to astrologers, Rahu has its significant impact in the digital world, and it governs digital/social media, technology, and the internet. Those with a powerful Rahu often achieve success in digital media careers.

Rahu is often linked with sudden events—both good and bad. It can bring fame or ruin overnight. That’s why knowing Rahu’s condition in your birth chart is very important.
