So Rahu is basically an Asura. The story goes that Rahu after the churning of the cosmic ocean was done, then Amrita was came out. Many other things came out which one of them was Amrit. Amrita makes you immortal. So Rahu an Asura disguises himself and goes court gods have taken the Amrita. "He goes there, he says that I want that Amrita also". So he disguises himself and sits and he takes a bit of that Amrita and his mouth immediately there is Vishnu there in the form of Mohini. He understands that, this is not a god, this is a Asura. So he uses his Sudarshan chakra and cuts off his head. So the Amrita comes into his mouth, doesn't go into the body. So two parts come out, one is the head and one is the tail. So the head is Rahu of the Asura and the tail or body is Ketu. Because he had Amrita, so he becomes immortal. Rahu is a head without a body.
The primary natures of Rahu is that it is a master in creating illusions, absolute master number one, number two, is that Rahu tries to eat everything, grasp and eat. But it can't digest everything because it doesn't have a body. So Rahu influence means you are trying to do something in a specific area will spread very fast. But whether you are able to integrate that properly that is questionable. In fact very often that is precisely about the illusion is very fast expansion in certain ways, expansion only for lack of better words. But whether that is being integrated or not, if it is not being integrated, then eventually there is going to suddenly burst. That is one of the problems with Rahu. Rahu also governs spirits, because it doesn't have a physical presence.
Rahu is extremely powerful, because all these domains of illusions, conspiracy, are the things of mind. In imagination a certain combination Rahu can give tremendous hallucination. Rahu is also in a way, like the physical domain is there, and then there is the occult domain, Rahu is the doorway between the physical and the occult. Rahu can take you to that, realm, both in a positive and negative sense. Rahu is extremely brave. But this bravery is different from that of Mars. Mars is like full scale warfare, Rahu is like a bomb blast, even a moment before that, you don't know what is going to happen. Suddenly it will burst and everything is your like shocked out of your mind.
Rahu has another ability, it can read through conspiracies. All the conspiracy theories in the world are Rahu's doing, he love creating conspiracy. Any individual is working in a spy agency or something like this, once can't do that work until his Rahu is strong. It's impossible, work in a field of politics or speculating equations being made, without being having a strong Rahu in horoscope. Internet is also full scale of Rahu, this age is Rahu by the way. We call it Kaliyuga, this is the age when Rahu most powerful. So Rahu is not always bad by the way, I'm not saying that it is bad. Technology is entirely Rahu's domain. Today what we have is unimaginable 50-60 years ago, things are changing very fast.
On the positive side, Rahu gives a lot of courage, very strong courage. Rahu also, can influence a person into black magic or occult, these things like that. Both being a victim of it or somebody who is doing it. Plus the world of spirits and all that Rahu has full connection to it. Certain combination of 'grahas' can indicate that somebody may be affected by spirits, Rahu has control over it. Rahu also controls animals, not animals rather it's like insects and all that Cockroaches, Spiders, all these are governed by Rahu.
Rahu has the ability to eclipse the sun and the moon. Sun and moon are the most fundamental 'grahas' in the horoscope. As Sun in deeper level is soul and moon is the mind, your soul in mind are the most important things. Rahu can cause eclipse to that and that is going to cause certain behavioural changes in that individual, eclipse is a very peculiar time. Even when we have eclipses outside, you will see there are two things there. One is that when an eclipse is happening temples are closed, normal dharma, normal sense of right and wrong, what is to be done and what is to be not done? Dharma and Adharma has a certain flow. Whenever Rahu grasps the sun and the moon, it causes a tremendous change in the energy, in the atmospheric energy, spiritual energy of the place where that eclipse is happening. Even in the world at a subtle level, its more specifically at the place where the eclipse is happening. So normal Dharma gets disturbed.
To control Rahu there are few deities who are very good in controlling Rahu Primary of them is Maa Durga and also Bhairava is very good in controlling Rahu. Rahu can lead a person to addictions by the way, certain combinations with Rahu in horoscope more or less you can be certain that they will have addiction and very difficult to get out of addiction in such combinations of Rahu. So there two other deities are also there in the Tantrik sphere the Das Mahavidya, Devi Chinnamasta is the one who can controls Rahu. Chinnamasta is extremely aggressive, but this judgment is to be correctly applied when to worship which deity for relief.
