Rahu
Rahu is the North Node of the Moon, and shadow planet permanently attached to Ketu, the South Node. This invisible axis travels through a new sign every 18.5 months. During this time, confusion and withdrawal occur simultaneously. Feelings of unfamiliarity and a sense of mastery unfold. Primal desires meet utter disdain in this axis of material versus spiritual. Rahu gives materially while Ketu takes. On the other hand, Ketu gives spiritually while Rahu opposes that energy with desire.
Aquarius
Aquarius is the 11th zodiac sign between Capricorn and Pisces. In this portion of sky, we receive the fruits of our karma, the wealth of our actions. This can be in the form of a reward or public recognition. A fixed air sign ruled by Saturn gives Aquarius a steady and socially structured nature, a true sign of the people. As a masculine sign, Aquarius brings an active and progressive energy. It shows our humility, where we suppress our unique identity to fit in with the expectations of society. The symbol is an empty pot.
The house where Aquarius sits in your natal chart will indicate the area of life receiving these energies.
Rahu in Aquarius brings the hunger for power into the house of humility. At the same time, the placement of Rahu in Aquarius reminds us that true power is not derived from ego or dominance but from a genuine commitment to the greater good and a willingness to work together towards a common goal. This placement challenges us to use our influence for the betterment of all, revealing a deeper understanding of our role in society.
