How is the placement of Rahu in the 8th house as per Vedic Astrology?

This is an important placement for Rahu and it needs to be understood rather than being scared about the same

Rahu is a shadow planet with many mystical powers. People fear its dasha, transit, and aspects for the following reasons

• It can make an individual Rich or a pauper overnight
• Despite it being the shadow of Satun on the moon, Rahu leads to impatience and quick gains
• Unseens incidents and expenses
• Sudden break/association on the relationship and professional front
• High chance of addiction

Hope the above points give an idea about Rahu and its impact. In Vedic astrology, Rahu is considered malefic and Kaliyug is considered the time of Rahu where human values are not respected and the pursuit of a materialistic life is the only goal.

Having stated all this, there are a huge number of positives also that can be seen from Rahu

1. Intuition to perceive things (especially essential in the field of finance, science, medical field)
2. Ability to think out of the box and come up with innovative solutions
3. Ability to be persistent and think logically even when faced with failure

Now, as we have seen both sides of Rahu, let us look at what the 8th House stands for

• It is the house of death and rebirth, life after marriage, joint assets, surgeries, sudden accidents, sexual well-being, etc.
• It is one of the Dusthana houses (the other Dusthana being 6th and 12th). It gives better results with time
• As per Kalpurush Kundli, the 8th House is the zodiac of Scorpio and is co-ruled by Ketu and Mars. Scorpio is a water sign and is one of the intense karmic signs

• Mooladhara chakra is also said to be present in this house and this chakra is vital for someone to be enlightened and know about their objective in life

Coming to the question,

Placement of Rahu in the 8th House

1. Considering the difficult nature of the house, Rahu finds it difficult to deal with it. Owing to this, Rahu keeps its disruptive side out and focuses on being analytical and focused
2. A malefic(negative) planet in a negative(dushthana) house is a positive for the individual
3. With Rahu in the 8th house, it brings unseen benefits into the married life
4. People focused on research with this placement can benefit immensely
5. Individuals wanting to work in the domain of intelligence gathering or becoming a spy have this combination

Hope this helps to throw some light on the placement
