Rahu Mahadasha: Effects and Remedies
Rahu, often referred to as the North Node of the Moon, is a shadowy (Chhaya) planet in Vedic astrology, along with Ketu. Although Rahu does not have a physical presence and is considered an imaginary planet, its effects are significant enough for astrologers to regard it as a planet. Rahu is believed to bring both positive and negative influences, including misfortune, greed, and illusion, but it can also bring success, recognition, and fame if it occupies a favorable position in one’s birth chart.
