Rahu: Twelve Rashi Qualities
Rahu-Ketu's effect depends much more on His bhava and much less upon His rashi.
In readings, prioritize the significations of Rahu-Ketu's house.
However Rahu does receive some determination from His rashi. Descriptions below.
Rahu is an interloper, a fraud, and a poseur.
Rahu wants to be included in the world of the gods. But, Rahu is not a real deity. Rahu sneaks in through trickery.
Rahu is a wanna-be.
He mainly tries to be attractive like Shukra. However, Rahu will shape-shift to imitate any graha who is His co-tenant or His Lord.
Rahu is illegitimate, a taboo-breaker.
The planetary gods do not recognize or accept Rahu. Vishnu was insulted and enraged when He saw Rahu lift the cup of Amrita to those snake-like lips. Vishnu flung His diamond-sharp discus across the room and sliced Rahu in half, instantly, for his crime.
Rahu is never satisfied.
Rahu is always working overtime, trying to receive validation in a role for which He is unqualified. Rahu is always scheming a new approach toward getting what He is not entitled to have.
Rahu is an embezzler, slowly leeching the life force consciousness as He pursues an endless series of hot but fleeting material desires.
His methods are devious and surreptitious, driven by a deep hunger for validation through the experience of Possession, which is never satisfied.
Rahu is the Reptile Brain.

Intensely desires security & stability, is never satisfied with depth of family bonding. Can never have enough opportunity to give and receive parental love and care.
Yet, the native is by nature emotionally fluctuating & changing every day. Highly unstable parent. Will often make a great display of parenting, or patriotism, or both - but the display is intended to attract attention and create opportunities for deeper sensual experience. It is not a display of contentment.
Can develop a parent complex, taking care of everyone within reach. Has a special attraction to those who are 'separated' from their roots: destitute, homeless, and stateless.
Can become extremely focused on protecting their family, home and homeland from invaders - psychic or physical. Yet, the native also seeks public validation of the parenting role, in which the native feels unstable.
Rahu is an interloper, fraud, and poseur who wants to be included in the world of the gods. But, He is illegitimate in that world. Thus Rahu is always working overtime, trying to receive validation in a role for which He is unqualified. His methods are devious and surreptitious, driven by a deep hunger for validation which is never satisfied.
Rahu's hunger for validation of parenting-sheltering-protecting legitimacy (remember ) ironically can cause the native to open one's home to psychic or physical invasion, such as the tabloid press or social welfare agencies. and cause
