The node in which the Moon, crossing the ecliptic, is directed upward, towards the North Pole of the Earth, is called the North or Ascending (other names: Dragon Head, Rahu), and the opposite node, in which the Moon goes down, to the South Pole, is called the South or Descending (other names: Dragon Tail, Ketu).
In astrology, the Nodes of the Moon are considered as fictitious planets that do not have energy content.
The North Node - Rahu (its location in the horoscope) characterizes the task facing a person, the South Node - Ketu is the area of already completed tasks. Accordingly, when a person chooses the path prescribed by the North Node, he will gain public and other support, and the path chosen by the South Node will be difficult: the person will meet with misunderstanding.
According to Indian Mythology, these planets symbolize the Snake. They represent the darker side of our nature, we must fight with the bark and overcome the negative impact. Rahu is the planet of materialism and provides material profit in various fields. If the planet is well located, it gives happiness, wealth and power. This planet also gives some problems on a mental level. If the situation of Rahu is poor, it can be realized in failures, poverty and loss of position. Rahu influences those who work with mechanisms, photographs, printing and printing, painting, hunting, as well as those who are prone to violence and aggression. Rahu also controls navigators and travelers, and is called a travel planet. It makes people go underground and lose contact with other people. She also runs detectives and spies, criminals, revolutionaries, anarchists, and terrorists.
In India, this planet is known as the "main node of the Dragon." It is identified with black cobra, poison, zircon, black magic, gambling, mung bean, grass stalks, low-paying work, slavery, all kinds of skin diseases, sexually transmitted diseases, powerlessness, childlessness, imprisonment. In general, this planet gives more negative points than positive ones.
So, for example, rahu located in the ascendant (1 house) can provoke an abortion or illness in a wife or husband.
Rahu in the 2nd house - gives poverty, multiple divorces, dark complexion, cruel character.
Rahu in the 3rd house - gives childlessness, not a bad financial condition, enterprise.
Rahu in the 4th house - provides the ability to languages, communication with women of easy virtue.
Rahu in the 5th house - a person is likely to have childlessness, problems are feminine, and of course in such a situation Rahu excludes the birth of a male child.
Rahu in the 6th house - skin diseases, sexually transmitted diseases, a small number of friends are guaranteed. This also applies when Rahu is in transit through the 6th house.
Rahu in the 7th house - widowhood, diabetes, female problems (for women), divorce.
Rahu in the 8th house is a vicious disposition, degradation, a tendency to quarrel, a tendency to betray a partner.
Rahu in the 9th house - men, as a rule, obey the will of more powerful women, ignorant, free of temper.
Rahu in the 10th house - a love of travel, poetry and literature, communication with divorced people.
Rahu in the 11th house - many children, influence among the unequal.
Rahu in the 12th house - many losses in life, religiosity, complete absence or one child.
If Rahu interacts with other planets, it is likely that its value may change and the negative will weaken.
However, in Ancient Astrology there are many “recipes” for how to reduce such a strong negative effect.
In numerology, she is credited with the number 4 and it affects people born 4, 13, 22, 31 days of any month. Number 13 is considered an ominous and unlucky number. The number 22 is known as the mystical number and Rahu forces those born on the 22nd to have difficulty.
