Frequently Asked Questions

What happens when Rahu is in the 10th house?

Rahu in the 10th house influences career and money through the lens of career, reputation, authority, public status. This is the primary career house, so Rahu here directly shapes professional identity and public reputation. The dasha periods of Rahu tend to activate these themes most strongly.
