Rahu is a shadow planet (Chaya Graha) — the north lunar node — that always moves in retrograde motion through the zodiac. It stays in each sign for approximately 18 months, making its rashi transit a medium-term influence. Rahu governs obsession, illusion, foreign connections, technology, and unconventional paths. Its sign change creates major shifts in collective desires and societal trends. For individuals, Rahu's transit through key houses can trigger sudden opportunities, international travel, or periods of intense ambition and confusion.
