All you need to know

Rahu is one of the nine planets in Vedic Astrology. It was formed at the point of intersection of Earth and Moon orbit while revolving around the Sun. This point of meeting in the north pole is called Rahu (ascending node). The same point in the south pole is called Ketu (descending node). When your Rahu is not fine, it can have major effects on your personal life with dishonesty, miscommunication, and major issues in married life. Professionally as well, it can ruin it all with you in ways you never expected. So, to counter those ill effects, here is Kanchan Latta Sharma, astrologer at All India Institute of Occult Science, who has explained the remedies and how Rahu really works.


Sharma shared that the day of worshiping Rahu is on Saturday. On this day, we worship Goddess Durga. God Vishnu, God Bharav. Rahu is not considered a God as it is a shadow planet with blue colour. Items related to Rahu are Urad, black sesame, and coconuts.
