Rahu Mahadasha

In order to clarify the effects of the Dasha of Rahu I shall first mention the exaltation and debilitation Rashis of Rahu and Ketu. 

• The exaltation Rashi of Rahu is Vrishabha. 

• The exaltation Rashi of Ketu is Vrischika. 

• The MulaTrikonaas of Rahu and Ketu are Mithuna and Dhanau. 

• The own Rashis of Rahu and Ketu are Kumbh and Vrischika. 

• Some sages have expressed the view, that Kanya is the own Rashi of Rahu and Meena is the own Rashi of Ketu. 

• Should Rahu be in his exaltation Rashi 

there will be during the Dasha of Rahu 

• great happiness from acquisition of wealth, 

• agricultural products etc., 

• acquisition of conveyances with the help of friends and Government, 

• construction of a new house, 

• birth of sons (children), 

• religious inclinations, 

• recognition from Government of foreign countries 

• and gain of wealth, clothes etc. 

• If Rahu be associated with, or receives a Drishti from benefics, 

• be in a benefic Rashi and be in Tanu, Bandhu, Yuvati, Karma, Labha, or Sahaj,

If Rahu be associated with, or receives a Drishti from benefics, be in a benefic Rashi and be in Tanu, Bandhu, Yuvati, Karma, Labha, or Sahaj, there will be during his Dasha all kinds of comforts by the beneficence of the Government, acquisition of wealth through a foreign Government, or sovereign and felicity at home.

• If Rahu is in Randhr, or Vyaya Bhava

If Rahu is in Randhr, or Vyaya Bhava, there will be during his Dasha all kinds of troubles and distress. 

• If Rahu is associated with a malefic, 

• or a Maraka Graha, 

• or is in his debilitation Rashi,

If Rahu is associated with a malefic, or a Maraka Graha, or is in his debilitation Rashi, there will be loss of position, destruction of his residential house, mental agony, trouble to wife and children and misfortune of getting bad food. 

Timing of Events

• There will be loss of wealth at the commencement of the Dasha, 

• some relief and gain of wealth in his own country and distress and anxieties during the last portion of the Dasha.
