Rahu (North Node)
By The Astrologic Desk · Editorial and calculation review
Rahu is the north lunar node, a shadow graha with no physical body and no sign rulership. It signifies intense desire, ambition and attraction to the unfamiliar. Its mahadasha runs eighteen years. Rahu amplifies whatever it touches, and its house shows where a person is genuinely insatiable — for better and worse.
Karaka: Worldly desire, obsession, and the unfamiliar. Nature: Shadow. Mahadasha: 18 years.
