Elevation through Publication

  • Rahu in Bhava-3 = privilege gained via explanations, descriptions, instructions, writings, reports and announcements.

  • Often a dramatic rise from the station of birth via extraordinary or exotic publications.

Quest for higher entitlements via Important (or self-important) Meetings and Messages

  • Ambitious desire to be recognized for the exceptional qualities of one's commercial transactions, announcements, or literary publications.

  • Rahu may claim entitlement rights to siblings or cohort who are not precisely one's own.

  • Rahu-3 may be an evangelist with an exciting, renegade, multicultural message


Rahu wants what He materially cannot have or morally should not have.

  • In bhava-3, Rahu Desires to be a writer, a media-messenger, a Great Communicator.

  • USA Pres-26 Theodore Roosevelt wrote 26 books in several fields of study + hundreds of magazine articles

Rahu often obtains His material goal in bhava-3. Yet, whatever distinction He obtains in the hungry quest for elite recognition as a writer-reporter, He will never be satisfied.

Immediately upon obtaining the object of desire, picchalakaraka "the slippery one" instantly yearns for more, better, different privileges given to the class of beings who show inter-group cooperation, collaborative ensemble, and who produce narratives, instructions and announcements.


Every day starts a new quest for this ephemeral prize of immortality via entitlement and recognition.

Rahu-3 = amplified conversational impetus toward self-elevation through rule-evading risk.

Rahu give best results in upachaya bhava 3, 6, 10 and 11. Rahu-3 = ambition for attainment via compartmentalization

The full scope of effects depends upon which graha occupy bhava 7, 9, and 11.


Entitlement sought : Rahu-3 wants to appear as a legitimate, credible holder of status-rank in the class of beings =

  • the communicative, the literary, the crafty and skillful, makers of conversation and dialogue,

  • arranger of meetings and discussions, writers and publishers, planners and schemers, managers of commerce and transactions, media mavens

  • messengers, evangelists, advertisers, announcers, reporters

  • hand-crafters, massage therapists, manipulators, healers by touch

  • neighbors, vecinos, siblings, cousins, team-mates, twins

  • tool-users, technologists, technicians, technocrats, technical support

If Budha or L-3 = strong, Rahu may take whatever risks are necessary to achieve membership in this class of persons.

Fascination with skills in business information management, writing and hand-craft craft, and communicative acumen; also craves to keep company of those with self-made wealth (3)

  • Fascinated by highly mentalized, uber-communicative activities. Rahu-3 evangelists have an important message to deliver

Rahu-3 self-propels into higher privilege and recognition via remarkable hand-craft skills, such as playing musical instruments, writing business documents, and drawing.

  • USA Pres-26 Theodore Roosevelt was an expert marksman (3). When he was NYC police commissioner, he enforced target-shooting examinations for all NYC police.

May risk irregular behavior in order to obtain the privileges accorded to highly crafty, commercially gifted, and exotically communicative persons

  • USA Pres-26 Theodore Roosevelt personally negotiated the building of the Panama Canal, disregarding the legal process of conducting congressional debate, and personally writing and signing the canal agreement without consulting other governance officers. Roosevelt claimed that the legal process (Shani) "took too long" (Shani) and if he hadn't acted quickly (Rahu) the chance for America to develop tremendous commercial activity (3) via this magnificent shipping (3) channel would have been lost forever.

  • If Shani + Rahu, will attempt to legalize the risky method (for example, by marriage or other legitimization of the irregular relationship.)

Animosity and Conflict viaRahu-resides-3 =

6th-from Vikramasthana = bhava-8 =

During Rahu bhukti if L-6 from Rahu is strong, one may be forced into servitude, conflict, sickness, or crime by hidden information, drugs and medicines, servants or slaves, exploitive or hostile secret relationships, and spouse's wealth or in-law's behavior

=

Bhava-3 = communications and cohort provides the snake-hole aperture through which the ambitious Naga King slithers, slides, and springs upward.

Rahu-3 = favorable placement for instrumental use of mental process and "conversations", including:

  • writers (including songwriters) journalists, and publishers;

  • collaboration, administration, planning, messaging, signal-exchange, commerce, "process"

  • group-work, sports teams, ensemble

Rahu will utilize the group's communicative process as His springboard to success

Rahu in bhava-3

Ketu in bhava-9

chalakaraka Rahu in bhava-3

  • Rahu wants to "get ahead" via communications media. Newspaper, magazine, book, radio, television, telephone, satellite, broadcast, announcements, reports, documentation, internet media, 'texting', illustration, instruction, explanation, film, print, musical lyrics, Morse Code, smoke signals.

  • Rahu can find expedient use for any messaging device particularly new-and-exciting "news".

  • Expedient delivery style designed to get attention and gain privilege; generally unconcerned with fairness or facts (although factual reporting may be necessary if Rahu's lord is Shani or Shani-drishti upon Rahu).

  • self-elevating desire to be recognized and privileged as a writer or messenger who delivers important instructions and announcements.

  • May be a taboo-breaker in matters of communication, messages. reports and signaling.

  • Often journalistically evangelical. Irregular, illicit, outsider messages. Successful writing, announcing, reporting on exotic, disruptive, or controversial topics.

chidakaraka Ketu in bhava-9

  • self-deprecating ambivalence toward patriarchal religion, orthodox piety and guru-father-priest figures.

  • Ketu-9 has no agenda regarding religion. Generally disregards religious rituals, scripture, principles and prescriptions.

  • Typically disinterested in universities, scholarship, global travel, and internationalism - yet no boundaries blocking access to these; may roam freely around the world. Tends therefore to be less well educated in philosophy and theology; more of a vagabond.

  • The Father is rarely at home during childhood; or, if available physically, is unavailable emotionally.

  • Normally an atheist. However, Ketu can accept the garb of other graha. May be an atheist in sheep's clothing - even an atheist working as a priest or religious figure.

  • The nebulous, dusty Ketu-cloud tends to simply reflect the projection of the collective unconscious; people can believe (9) all sorts of things about Ketu, which have nothing to do with Ketu, including the projected belief that this native is deeply religious or that one is operating from some highly philosophical understanding.

  • "Witness" viewpoint gives cosmological neutrality in religious philosophy. If Ketu-9's lord is strong, superb placement for the super-abstract levels of philosophy such as higher mathematics and cosmology, which benefit from Ketu's disregard for dogma.

  • highly influential songwriter Beatle John Winston Lennon + Surya + Mangala


Extremely strong mental instincts toward self-elevation through risk. However, the full scope of effects depends upon which graha occupy bhava 7, 9, and 11.


Rahu in bhava-3 = craves a privileged, priority access to another person's mental narrative and communications - striving to be always on their mind.

  • "Elevation through publication"

Uses the sibling group and work team as a platform from which to launch the Great Leap, but does not remain consistent with the message of the ensemble. Passion to become a better, higher, different variety of communicator.

  • Although most commonly a one-to-one thought-transmission conversational relationship, bhava-3 can also = a one-to-many relationship such as speaker-to-audience

A great desire to be recognized as a twin-soul, although one has not yet earned the mirroring fluency.

Via Rahu's characteristic over-promotion, Rahu-3 often gets into illicit publications, misguided teamwork, or inappropriate conversations that are "over their head".

  • Great Leap Forward via Communication of Ideas: Writings, Songs, Conversations


"Desire to Deliver a Message"

  • "Leapfrog "over the conventional path to privilege via one's writings or self-owned commercial business, esp using skills of Conversation, Planning and Announcements

  • Desire to penetrate and upset the conventional integrity of daily Business-as-usual commerce

  • Disruption of scripted Communication Patterns (interrupts habitual thoughts)

Hunger to Possess the Thoughts of others through special psychic-communication entitlements

  • Uses surreptitious or unconventional methods to obtain credibility in taboo topics of conversation and invasively interactive mental process

Will converse about what you *really* want to know!

  • Oprah Winfrey

  • Johnny Cash

  • One can "leapfrog" to higher message-broadcasting status in media publications realms

  • Rahu-3 may appropriatethe writings, thoughts, plans, schedules, calendars, itineraries, commercial business and administrative behaviors of another (channeled writings)

  • Karaka for channeling desirable, charismatic ideas in publications and announcement via writing, broadcast communications, and media production such as books, magazines, advertising posters, internet, radio, television, films, and music recordings etc

small groups = conferences = "cells" composed of exotic, convention-challenging persons may carry out the message and the agenda via publications and correspondence of the philosophically like-minded


  • Rahu the Rakshasa feeds upon chaotic and manipulative circumstances within the sibling group, within the work-ensemble, within the internal mental narrative, and in the world of public communications.

  • Rahu the Intruder disrupts the customary habits of conversation, upsets the schedule of writing and publications, and makes one privy to exotic and possibly dangerous messages.


The Chosen

One wishes to feel specially "chosen" for a privileged role: permission to participate in elite small-group discussions and to issue communicative messages via words, gestures, and imagery.


Elite small-group discussions and privileged planners

Rahu provides an extreme desire to possess the power to communicate, publish, and announce. One generates exciting even outrageous information, along with the urge to satisfy that desire at nearly any coSaint

Les agents provocateurs represented by Rahu-3 = not necessarily an immoral influence. The agent desires to obtain elite team membership by "leapfrog". One wishes to override the conventional proving steps which would normally grant social approval of the narrative, the stories which one tells within the group.

Thus Rahu in 3 disturbs the existing orderly limits regarding:

  • sibling behavior (esp the immediate younger sibling)

  • publication of culturally un-appropriated information

  • Larry King, Winfrey "confessional" TV-journalism).

reporting of the tales of the underclass, impoverished, estranged, or illegitimate persons

writing about or discussing matters of depression and mental disturbance

courage (antidote to mass fear)

propaganda journalism

  • FDR

  • un-appropriated or underclass gestures, proscribed functions of the hands = Elvis Presley's undulating hips

Rahu the Rogue favors the use of deception and His style often involves sneaking into forbidden places under disguise of culturally false pretenses.

  • Dictator of Cuba 1961-2011 Fidel Castro famously, illegitimately seized all communications media in Cuba. His self-declared authority was then successfully reinforced by intensive nationalistic propaganda. (Rahu's lord Budha in patriotic Karkata/4). At the end of his extraordinary dictatorial reign, Fidel Castro passed the wealth and power of his position directly to his brother (3)Raul Castro.


As the great taboo-breaker, Rahu evades customary moral boundaries and behavioral consistency in the sibling group; in the communication processes; in the self-made wealth..

Rahu disrupts the customary methods of mental tasking and group communications.

Disruptive, exciting, sensually hungry drishti to

  • bhava-7 (marriage/partners/agreements),

  • bhava-9 (father /guru/ceremonial religion)

  • bhava-11 (friends/income/goals)


Peculiarly intense and penetrating yet surreptitious method of communicating with others. May be an excellent writer if L-5 and Budha are strong. Strange ideas along with a sideways style of communication.

Rahu goes under the system, around the system, above the system - but Rahu cannot follow Shani's Law.

Rahu-3 Challenges the conventional cultural styles of information management. Disrupts meetings, the information flow of work-group, team, or business department. A rather peculiar person to have in the office.

Fascinated to talk with outcastes, those with alternative lifestyles, foreigners and take short trips to exotic lands.

Can fabricate false stories for instrumental purposes, but is also a great short-story writer. Whether this mental attraction to extremes in storytelling is beneficial will depend on Rahu's lord.

Too exotic mentally for success in parochial business, but may succeed in international commerce.

Rahu Risk-taking as a response to conflict

Rahu-3 = 6th-from = bhava-10, might feel compelled toward illicit behaviors by a conflict with the father's family, the government, public reputation, professional dignity, and leadership duties

Rahu in Mesha-3

He likes business to be simple, direct, and perhaps a bit rough

Rahu produces good results for commercial business in bhava-3 but the person is mentally restless, unable to enjoy those good results arising from Mesha-typical business. (in Mesha = physical flesh-body; muscles; forward movement) For example, physical therapy, hatha-yoga instruction, dance teacher, sports coach, or military warrior training.

You have tremendous fortitude, but Rahu's ambitions are very powerful and He tends to ignore the good things that you do have while feeling driven by an obsessive desire for whatever you don't have.

The good news is that this Rahu-3 is essentially a positive agent in your life. He is a great engine of forward movement for business growth and you can reach great heights of commercial success by thinking "out of the box". Rahu goes under the system, around the system, over the system... that is the way for you to expand your marketing, sales, advertising, and administrative reach.

However, the chalakaraka must be harnessed to carefully constructed business plans and goals -- or else "the cart will run away with the horse".

Rahu's pro-movement energies should be mentally directed via meditation and selfless service to those who are struggling with small, local sales or marketing operations such as local craftspeople. That sort of targeted Seva can work wonders to release some of Rahu's pent-up ambitions.

Rahu likes working on exotic problems and developing business strategies for products and services that are a little bit rough, or foreign, or perhaps have some taboo quality. Engage Rahu in Service so that He can blow off a little excess steam. Then the Ambitious One will be calmed enough to serve you properly.

BV Raman, Three Hundred Important Combinations#264. Galakarna Yoga

"Definition.—The 3rd house must be occupied by Mandi and Rahu or by Mars in the shashtiamsa of Preta Puriha.

Results. The native suffers from ear troubles.

Remarks.—According to some astrological treatises, the yoga is also caused by the mere presence of malefics in the 3rd house.

But in actual practice, this theory is not borne out.

Rahu's disposition in the 3rd house in a cruel shashtiamsa is a sure indication of some sort of trouble in the ear. "

Restless Dissatisfaction with the local Neighborhood, the Sibling group and the Team

Rahu in 3 provides a source of chronic dissatisfaction with the limitations and constraints of the conversation partners, sibling, team-mates, co-planners, co-operators, and collaborators in this life.

  • One wishes to spring upward from the station of life at birth; particularly one wishes to be distinguished from the siblings and their pedestrian limitations.

  • Rahu-3 with Rahu in 3 is often disdainful of the more parochial, unadventurous qualities of one's neighborhood, cooperative unit or work department.

  • In order to get invited into more prestigious and entitled interactions, one initiates communications with higher correspondents in more privileged groups.

  • Communications and brotherly relationships with non-brothers are the operative Rahu catapult.

Rahu Mahadasha- Rahu bhukti = Rahu pratyantardasha

During periods of Rahu, a surreptitious intruder or poseur enters the realm of the narrative mentality and sibling or team-mateinteractions.

  • The goal of the interloper is to break limits and challenge assumptions in communications behaviors, collaborative or ensemble work-groups, and all methods for crafting and transmitting messages.

Legerdemain

  • bhava-3 rules the hands. Rahu in 3 (8th-from-8th) is associated with legerdemain, a certain magical illusion of gesture. The truth-values of the communicated message remain in question. However the message will be fascinating and full of intrigue!

  • One's passion for connecting to this enticing exotic agency is disruptive but exciting and each iteration of Rahu breaks some mental limit upon how many and which type of conversations and thought transmissions one is allowed to conduct.

Interior narrative = Mental health = compartmentalization

  • Disruption to the conventional flow of daily thoughts. Invades the boundaries of others' thoughts. Theinner personal narrativemay be surging with hungry desire for sensual experience. It is particularly difficult for Rahu-3 to ask directly for satisfaction of these hungers as Rahu programs the mind to believe that one must meet and deal surreptitiously.

  • Short-term exotic-destination travel that provides adventure without socially punitive consequences is often a Rahu-happy experience. Enjoys travel to taboo locations, pursuit of illicit contacts - yet so long as these are compartmentalized in the 'no-rules holiday' (3) category, the public reputation need not suffer.

  • If Budha is involved with Rahu, the mental flow of daily thoughts and voices from past and present which rings in the heads of all humans, is a wild and exciting inner debate.

Rahu in bhava-3 = Mithuna (Mesha lagna) = a mercurial resentfulness which may result in a risky, potentially deviant lifestyle .

Das comments:

  • "The bitterness experienced in life under this influence makes you secretive and vindictive.

  • Your behavior is unpredictable, your approach unethical, and the urge to engage in deviant social behavior is highly pronounced."

(Younger) Siblings

  • The immediate younger sibling may become wealthy in self-owned business, dealing in taboo or illegal commodities such as flesh, drugs-alcohol, or sexual commerce in a drinking-drug establishment, or socially unapproved alternative lifestyles, or via foreign interests.

  • Communication flow with the siblings is intense, invasive and privileged, disrespectful of boundaries, challenging to personal integrity. There may develop great mental disturbance due to rumor-mongering by a sibling , cousin, or cohort-neighbor.

  • If Rahu = yuti malefics, the sibling's mental health may be an issue. Karaka for twin birth.

Extraordinary writings and media communications, e.g. radio - television - internet.

Desire to "Leap to the Top" via risky or outrageous messages

  • taboo-breaking, socially disrespectful but hugely popular song lyrics (3) of Elvis Presley

  • provocative and incendiary, specifically un-civil, disruptive diatribe of the marginalized (those who feel that they have been pushed to the borders of society) = also very popular (Kumbha) Rush Limbaugh

  • outrageous, revolutionary, socially disruptive writings of Karl Marx

  • brilliant but bold and contentious radio addresses of Franklin D. Roosevelt

Media communications and team-work projects with like-minded Rahu-type "leap up" persons.

  • Weird thoughts.

  • Impulsive verbal and written expression.

  • Rahu-3 is a "wild card" in publications, conversations, business meetings and conferences.

  • Likes shocking talk. Takes risks, breaks taboo in their speech and song.

Special gift for communicating with Outcast, underclass, downtrodden, disenfranchised, andforeigners.

  • Restless mind.

  • Crosses social boundaries of civility and respect for earned privilege.

Highly unusual, taboo-breaking, or bizarre but often insightful observations.

  • Will try anything once.

  • Has extraordinary and potentially creative ideas which may or may not benefit him,depending on Rahu's lord.

Nature of the message depends on Rahu's lord.

Repetitive thought patterns center on aboo matters: passionate and illicit sensuality, desire to know the mind of another, risky considerations, shocking or wild thoughts.


  • Strong Rahu in bhava-3 = manu-facture of objects of reckless passion through the craft of the hands.

Smoky, oily qualities

in the communications behaviors.

  • Native may handle advertising for a fossil fuel concern, have a tendency to be metaphorically rather obscure or oily in the messaging style, or work with a press or media production machine which needs oiling.

  • One may need to "lubricate" the deal in commercial business (3) via bribery, participation in exotic (Rahu) entertainments, or other non-customary remedy

  • tendency to surreptitious communications, leading perhaps to dishonesty or compulsive evasiveness, "smoke-screening" and other subterfuge

  • despite an otherwise pleasant personality, Rahu-3 may have trouble in the work-group due to team perception that this one is slippery, sneaky, or hiding something

Das / Bepin Behari: says:

"... causes trouble to siblings, but otherwise helpful in enabling you to acquire material conveniences.

  • You secure physical comforts, wealth, children, and a good spouse; you have many friends and may acquire expensive cars.

  • does not bode well for the birth of children.

  • You are sharp, inclined to spiritualism or higher educational disciplines.

  • Good fortune and success through affectionate dealings, neighbors, journeys, writing or publishing.

  • Denotes bravery, courage, industry, fortune, wealth, state honor, health; with many friends; Travel, annihilator of the enemy.

  • Agricultural wealth.

  • Matchless in prowess. Strong, treats all as brethren. Fortunate. You are most luckyand extend friendship to all.

  • Least actively benevolent; toughest in most difficult work.

  • Sleepless nights for the enemy; renowned; lives in luxury;

  • trouble for brothers; wretched;

  • Affluent; valiant.

  • Artless;

  • state authority; charitable; proud; firm minded; long living.

  • Rahu, in the third house, will make his brothers prosperous. "

Das comments on Rahu in Karkata for the Vrishabha lagna:

  • "There is no family support, but you obtain a powerful status in society nevertheless.

  • You are more feared than respected."

6th-from-Rahu-in-3 :

6th-from-Rahu + 12th-from-Ketu =

The Trouble-makers:

6/12 agency = bhava-8 =

  • Surgeons

  • Magicians

  • Tantriki

  • Shamans

  • Secret-keepers

  • lack of accountability

  • sudden transformations of the identity

  • Hidden Sexual Relationships

  • In-laws

  • Shock, Disaster and Catastrophe

  • Recycling

  • Hidden Wealth,

  • Spouse's family money

  • Upheaval

  • hidden treasure

  • psychic demand for re-birth

  • Millennial cycles of death-and-rebirth ,

  • knowledge of transformative process,

  • Healing via Shock of Death

  • Overwhelming Scope of Change

6th-from-Rahu + 12th-from-Ketu

Recognition as a brilliant communicator and favored team-mate: Rahu wants it - but can Rahu get it?

The bhava which = 6th-from-Rahu + 12th-from-Ketu = most conflicted, adversarial, toxic, frustrating, every-way-but-loose environment of the nativity

  • Periods of the lord of bhava-8 are therefore often especially difficult for matters of secret knowledge and transformative or catastrophic change, particularly if combined with a Rahu-Ketu transit to the axis of bhava 2-8.

By knowing the axis of radix Rahu-Ketu, it will be possible to predict which department of life will cause consistently the most persistently volatile and recurring yet seemingly uncontrollable trouble for Rahu-3 .


Compared to 6th-from-Shani

6th-from-Shani-related disagreement and conflict improves with age, neutrality, and patience.

  • However, 6th-from-Rahu + 12th-from-Ketu variety of conflict due to overstepping the bounds of one's rightful place (6th-from-Rahu) plus loss of enthusiasm and engagement due to apathy (12th-from-Ketu) reappears in a new guise during each subsequent Rahu bhukti.


6th-from-Rahu

6th-from-Rahu = the disagreements, disappointments, broken contracts, accusation, arguments, and adversarial relationships which originate in Rahu-3 's attempt to self-elevate via quick, unconventional and generally unearned increase in social rank and privilege.

6th-from-Rahu shows the adversarial relationships, illness, and financial imbalance such as debt leading to poverty or servitude, which are triggered by Rahu-3 's instinctive desire (Rahu) to challenge boundaries and leap-frog over customary stepwise earnings.

The negative consequences of 6th-from angles are karmic in origin. Persons whom one may have inadvertently harmed in past lives may suddenly appear as exploiters, enemies, or disease agents during periods of Rahu or lord of 6th-from-Rahu. They enforce servitude, start conflicts, and cause or treat disease during this period.

  • Effects of 6th-from-Rahu do not necessarily reflect any present-life crime or dishonor committed by Rahu-3 . The origins of Rahu-Ketu drama are often shrouded in the mists of previous lives.

  • Neutral acceptance of the realities of "6th-from" = accusations, disregard for agreements, and ill-will in humanity is often the only available strategy for dealing with this recurring situation.


12th-from-Ketu

12th-from-Ketu = loss of vitality, dissolution of enthusiasm, drained energies, erosion of conviction, disengagement, and general ennui regarding persons, topics, and relationships which are already weakened due to Ketu's residence in the bhava.

  • Effects of 12th-from-Ketu are relatively subtle yet often deeply frustrating; there is not enough energy or enthusiasm available to summon, not enough fuel in the tank, to get going toward solution of 12th-from-Ketu problems.

  • Neutral acceptance of inevitable loss is typically the only available strategy.



Exacerbation

Naturally, if weak or undignified graha should occupy or own the bhava which is 6th-from-Rahu + 12th-from-Ketu, the negative results can be intensified. Particularly the "personal" graha - Surya, Chandra, Budha - are afflicted when they occupy the adversarial 6th-from-Rahu + 12th-from-Ketu.

For example,

  • USA Pres-32 Franklin D. Roosevelt suffers neechcha Shani + Guru in 6th-from-Rahu + 12th-from-Ketu.

  • Neechcha L-6 Shani for his Kanya lagna nativity does generate a Viparita Raja Yoga (L-6 in 8) -- but this "crooked" yoga gives only a few benefits of career timing. In general, Franklin Delano Roosevelt's career did benefit from catastrophic events such as the USA Great Depression and World War 2. The VPR also allowed him to avoid the public disgrace of divorce (6) which could easily have destroyed his career.

  • However he was afflicted by many negative effects of "secrecy" ranging from the extreme psychological stress of secret negotiations in the WW-II years to the personal agony of needing to hide his extramarital loves under camouflage of being happily married to a woman he admired only as a sister and a friend . L-7 partner in 8 = wife as decoy; indeed Eleanor continued to represent her paralyzed husband in many critically important official functions like war negotiations. Despite their long-dead marriage, her "decoy" service may have helped to save the free world (a very bad planet neechcha Shani in a very bad house Mesha-8 gives very good results!)

  • The paralyzing (neechcha Shani, oppression of movement), supremely painful nerve-destroying (8) illness which finally killed him was never correctly diagnosed (8 = mysterious illnesses) and therefore never properly treated, leaving him in a state of hidden suffering (8) for most of his presidential years.

  • Even the conditions of death (8), at a private camp in Georgia far from Washington D.C., were upsetting and shocking. He died, aged 63, a physically (Mesha) broken man in the company of his extramarital lover (his most intense love relationship amongst several, whom he had promised his wife never to see again) which revelation shocked and angered his wife.

  • Because FDR's profound illness had been skillfully covered up (8) by his public relations handlers, Roosevelt's death was met with utter shock and grief across the U.S. and around the world. His death on 12-April-1945, immediately followed by Hitler's suicide on 30-April-1945, threw much of the world into a state of terror (8) although the successful V-E Day on 8-May-1945 showed proof of regeneration and rebirth.


Agency of recurring problems, listed by axis of Rahu-Ketu:

  • Rahu-resides-1 = 6th-from = bhava-6 = native may be forced into servitude, conflict, sickness, or crime by chronic addictions, jealousy and greed; arguments and accusations; marital discord and divorce

  • Rahu-resides-2 = 6th-from = bhava-7 = native may be forced into servitude, conflict, sickness, or crime by adversarial or uncooperative first spouse and exploitive terms of legal contracts

  • Rahu-resides-3 = 6th-from = bhava-8 = native may be forced into servitude, conflict, sickness, or crime by hostile secret relationships, and spouse's wealth or in-law's behavior

  • Rahu-resides-4 = 6th-from = bhava-9 = native may be forced into servitude, conflict, sickness, or crime by academic scholarship and religious convictions; by hostility of the father; also via sanctimonious or self-righteous 3rd marriage

  • Rahu-resides-5 = 6th-from = bhava-10 = native may be forced into servitude, conflict, sickness, or crime by professional career responsibilities and leadership duties

  • Rahu-resides-6 = 6th-from = bhava-11 = native may be forced into servitude, conflict, sickness, or crime by unreachable material goals and adversarial social networks

  • Rahu-resides-7 = 6th-from = bhava-12 = native may be forced into servitude, conflict, sickness, or crime by long sojourn in distant lands, dreams and divinations, enclosed rooms, and research into unknown subjects.

To a client with Surya + Rahu + Budha in a rashi of Shani taking harsh drishti of Shani in the mentally difficult 3rd-from-Shani during mahadasha of Shani...

Here we go again with the negative narrative. You have to do the WORK to get out of the ego-clutches of profound sadness, black moods, and interminable grief.

Rahu in 3rd-from-Chandra


Sudden and dramatic emotional changes causes by eruption of acquisitive or possessive desires in sibling or workmate groups.

One's own internal narrative mentality is also the site of sudden desire-driven change.

Rahu-3 "changes one's mind" , shifting from one emotional stance to the next, with extraordinary frequency and ease.

  • capitalist philanthropist George Soros notoriously changed his currency-trading intentions in response to signals from back pain

  • There may be boundary-challenging irregular thoughts and announcements.

Rahu-3 may indicate communicative arrhythmia, caused by too large a dose of exotic information indigestible by the common domestic folk.

Example:

Mother's siblings (aunts and uncles) and one's own siblings may become the agents of dramatic disruption of one's personal and social identity. Coworkers and cohort also expedient and slithery.

Irregular response to cultural norms through communicative behaviors such as holding meetings, conferences, conversations, and seminars. An agent of arrhythmic, unpredictable mental behavior vis-à-vis one's audience.

Rahu-3 may become an agent of social-emotional disruption for others, as one expresses a taboo-breaking evangelical message via communications media such as writing, film, advertisements, announcements, and reports.

Rahu mahadasha 18 years

similar effects during any Rahu bhukti, adapted to the angle between Mahadasha-pati vis-a-vis Rahu

Rahu in bhava-3 during Rahu mahadasha and during the 9 bhukti periods of Rahu which occur during the 120 years of the Vimshottari Dasha, the native is materially successful = urgent ambition to obtain a privileged, priority access to another person's mental narrative and communications.

Rahu-3 strives to be recognized in the world of evangelistic and explanatory communications. Hungry desire to be for the entitlements accorded to a twin-soul, although one has not yet earned the authentic mirroring fluency.

Via Rahu's characteristic ambition for recognition, one may become involved in irregular publications, opportunistic approach to teamwork (failure to share the credit) or inappropriate conversations that may expose the fraudulence of unpreparedness when one gets in "over one's head".
