How it is formed
Rahu in the 10th house and Ketu in the 4th house, with all seven planets between them.
| House | Name | Themes |
|---|---|---|
| 4th | Sukha Bhava | mother, home and property and vehicles |
| 10th | Karma Bhava | career, status and reputation and authority |
What it can bring
Classical texts connect it with struggle in matters of the 10th house (career) and the 4th house (mother) - but only when the planets involved are active in dasha or transit.
Planets involved
- Rahu (Rahu) - ambition and obsession, foreign lands and technology and media; mahadasha of 18 years.
- Ketu (Ketu) - detachment, spirituality and moksha and intuition; mahadasha of 7 years.
What must be checked
A reliable astrologer checks whether all planets are truly hemmed in, which makes the yoga partial or full. Many charts that seem to have this dosha show it only partially or cancelled.
What helps
- Get the full chart checked before acting on the label alone
- Strengthen the Lagna lord - a strong Lagna protects the whole chart
- Use the planet's weekday for mantra and charity
- Avoid starting major ventures in the most sensitive sub-period
Remedy for the main planet
- Chant Om Rahave Namah 108 times on Saturday.
- Give charity linked to Rahu on Saturday - to someone who genuinely needs it.
- Gemstone: Hessonite (Gomed) - only if Rahu is a benefic for your Lagna. Never wear it on your own.
- Keep the habits of the planet: avoid shortcuts and intoxicants, stay grounded.
