The role of Rahu in a horoscope – benefic or malefic. Image Courtesy – Gemstone Universe
Rahu is called the dragon’s head and it can play as a wild card in a person’s life. This is one planet that doesn’t have a fixed role in the portfolio of planets. It doesn’t have a physical point. Rahu is described as a magnetic point in the zodiac with tremendous energy similar to the concept of black holes we have read about in science fiction.
Rahu does not even have a consistent effect that can be predicted just by a simple look at the horoscope. It is usually difficult to judge the role of Rahu with absolute clarity. Rahu functions through other planets that act as its agent and usually give hazy signals. So, to understand if Rahu is favourable or unfavourable in a horoscope needs sound knowledge of Vedic astrology.

Rahu with negative energy or in an unfavourable position
The negative energies of Rahu provide a person with negative thoughts and depressive thinking. It could bring about trouble in taxes and a criminal bent of mind. There could be wild gambling urges that could push one’s finances to ruin.
The negative energies of Rahu are also the key factor for issues like alcohol addiction and substance abuse. The malefic Rahu pushes a person to bad business decisions. A person with negative energies of Rahu faces working with unreliable people who hold out false promises and unsteady thoughts that make the person feel that he is on the right track while actually, he is not.
