Best Signs for Rahu in Vedic Astrology

You will not get a satisfactory answer if you ask what exactly Rahu is and which signs it gives the best results. Rahu is a bodyless head who only thinks and imagines. Neither Rahu owns any Horoscopes nor is it the lord of any houses in Vedic Astrology. So, it affects the individual’s life according to its placement in the particular Zodiac sign and house.

Rahu is the brain that thinks about the yin-yang aspects of situations and the future. It is a desire giver and motivates natives to cross the boundary to fulfill their desires. It creates unnecessary confusion, illusion, fear, anxiety, and hunger for power. Every sudden occurrence is related to the effect of this planet. So, all the stuff you think out of the box is due to Rahu. That is why it is a significant planet in Vedic Astrology. If it is strong, you can make a house on the Moon; otherwise, you may do nothing due to fear.

Since Rahu governs all about thought, imagination, and confidence, it makes the individual dynamic and expressive in airy sign, aggressive and confident in fire sign, determined and inventor in earth sign, and emotional and researcher in watery sign.

Auspicious Zodiac Signs of Rahu

Taurus

Taurus is one of the signs that want to earn luxury and materialistic happiness through hard work and dedication. It is also a sign that carries a lot of creative thinking.

How do you know if your Rahu is strong in the Chart?

Here are some rules that show Rahu will give you good results during its Dasha, Mahadasha, and Antardasha:

1. The lord of the sign that Rahu is sitting in must occupy a friendly or exalted sign. For example, Rahu is in the Aries, and the Lord of Aries, Mars, is in the friendly sign or sitting with Rahu.
2. The lord of the sign that Rahu is sitting in must occupy 3, 6, 10, and 11 houses away from Rahu. For example, Rahu is in Cancer, and the lord of Cancer is sitting Upachaya distance from Rahu.
3. The house lord should be in a friendly sign in Upachaya/Trikona/Kendra houses. For example, for Mithun Lagna(Gemini Ascendant), Rahu is in the 4th house, and the lord of the 4th house(Mercury) is in the 1st house.
4. Rahu gives good results in all 12 houses and Rashi if the 1st, 3rd, 4th, 10th, and 11th lords are strong.

Overall, Rahu placement in all signs has 50/50 negative and positive effects– (Nothing is 100%). However, it works very well in the signs related to comfort, luxury, information, communication, and thinking, which we explained in this article.

Most astrologers might say it becomes beneficial in the Upachaya(3, 6, 10, and 11) house, and it is true. Because any planet in Upachaya houses matures over time, and if the Rahu is in these houses, the native’s imagination, creativity, risk-taking ability, wisdom, awareness, and thinking process are enhanced as he grows older. Natives become fearless and confident over time. Besides that– Rahu is good in any house if it is in conjunction with Rashi lord, house lord, and getting aspects from friendly planets like Mercury and Venus.
