How to Make Rahu Strong?

Rahu is one of the Navagrahas (9 planets) in Vedic astrology that shape our destiny. A strong Rahu in your birth chart bestows many benefits, whereas a weak one creates challenges and obstacles in life.

There are many astrological remedies and techniques to strengthen Rahu in the birth chart. This enables us to maximize its positive effects and minimize its negative effects on our lives.

Importance of a Strong Rahu

Rahu is the North lunar node and shadow planet that lacks a physical form. It is a malefic and mysterious planet feared by many. Though it is a very destructive planet, it is skilful and successful. Signifying illusion, Rahu gives one a lust for material comforts. Rahu has an aggressive, merciless, mischievous, and secretive nature.

When well-placed in the birth chart, Rahu bestows fame, success, and wealth. Rahu signifies worldly desires and materialistic gains. So, it can give you high status, prosperity, and many comforts.

People with a favorable Rahu placement tend to become successful through manipulation, scheming, and risk-taking. They are opportunistic and intelligent and achieve success quickly, often using questionable means.

An ill-positioned Rahu bestows limitless desires, losses, and unhealthy obsessions. It causes greed, selfishness and over-weening ambition. People under its dark influence get carried away by manipulations and material pleasures. Also, they are prone to laziness, procrastination, extravagance, and unhealthy family relations.

They also tend to be cunning, self-centered, and dissatisfied. Rahu also represents chronic health problems, especially those related to the skin, lungs, and nervous system. Its negative effects are often pronounced during its Mahadasha and transit periods.

When Rahu is strong in your birth chart, it brings great success, wealth, and fame. Rahu signifies intelligence, creativity, and worldly desires. People with a strong Rahu have strong leadership qualities, an innovative mindset, and strong ambition. On the other hand, a weak Rahu causes confusion, illusion, and deception. This can cause many challenges in life.
