Rahu in Vedic Astrology<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Rahu, often called the North Node<\/em> or Dragon\u2019s Head<\/em>, is a shadow planet in Vedic astrology that represents illusion, desires, obsessions, materialism, and unconventional paths. Unlike other planets, Rahu does not have a physical body but exerts a powerful influence over a person\u2019s mind, ambitions, and karmic lessons. It is known for causing sudden gains, unexpected changes, and an insatiable hunger for worldly experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
