Rahu in different houses*

*Rahu in 1st house* 

This position represents a person who has come to the material world to learn to deeply understand himself, to recognize himself and to understand the essence of his nature.

Rahu and Ketu represent a very important axis on the path to realizing a person’s destiny and connect the experience of a past life with the experience necessary in this incarnation. They are not always clearly demarcated and for some time, and with this position of Rahu often until adulthood, it is difficult for a person to break out of the captivity of public opinion, templates and labels given by society. Rahu in the 1st house orients a person towards the manifestation of his dissimilarity and simply “forces” the person to shout to the whole world - “Here I am, as I am, different, non-standard in everything - accept me as anyone!”

Rahu represents revolution, in any house he creates it, this is such a teenage and immature rebellion in other words. And it is worth recognizing that Rahu in the first house often looks exactly like this, as opposition to social norms and laws or some kind of order, unwillingness to conform to templates or generally accepted standards. Rahu in the 1st house creates very interesting people, innovators, and innovation is always development and movement forward. While someone there decides to admit or not to admit, Rahu in the first house has long been proven and recognized.

People with Rahu in the 1st house often stand out externally, because the first house is the house of our body, character, and demeanor. And here Rahu can contribute to some particularly extraordinary appearance, shocking behavior, etc. All this is a desire to break out of the patterns and frameworks that were established in the past incarnation, when a person moved forward, looking exclusively at public opinion.

It is very important to shift the focus of your attention from your partner or partners, from public opinion to yourself, to your personality. This position gives a person the opportunity to feel real, to finally find out what he likes, what smells, what flowers, what style of clothing and receive the same. And don’t order pasta in a restaurant because everyone else is ordering it, wear a classic suit to a business meeting because “what will my colleagues think if I come in sporty chic style.” This is a truly unique situation and difficult on the other hand, because patterns that exist not only in the psyche, but also in the subconscious, can prevent such a personality from manifesting itself in society for a long time.

Rahu strongly influences the personality, persona and its character, being located accordingly in the first house of the horoscope. These are people who can be very dexterous, cunning and resourceful, that is, quickly adapt to the situation - this helps to survive in the aggressive outside world, because Rahu is also about mind and intellect. But how a person will use the opportunities given to him is his own choice, and often it depends on the guna of material nature in which the person is located.

The position of Rahu in the 1st house often creates such a magnetically charming image, a person in some incredible way attracts attention to himself, although he himself may be very unsure of himself and feel constrained. After all, personality is “I”; Rahu, influencing the personality, can overshadow manifestations of character, willpower, self-confidence, managerial qualities; it will constantly subject the owner of the horoscope to doubts directly related to the personality and capabilities of the person himself.

The axis of the 1st and 7th houses is a difficult axis; in this case, the attachment may be a partner or even the presence of a partnership, sometimes just any kind and with whomever, as long as there is one. This is a pattern from a past life and, as a rule, it is strong in adolescence and young adulthood, which can create codependent relationships, some fatal relationships and connections, when a person cannot get a divorce under any pretext, even when his partner already lives in another country and started a new family there. A person with Rahu in the first house will be subconsciously afraid to “untie the knot” of his 7th house and finally branch off, turning all attention to himself and his personality.

That is why, as a rule, Rahu in the first house can give rise to strange marriages and unions or some kind of codependent, mutually beneficial, calculated, divorce people, and then bring them together again, sometimes a person with Rahu in the first house plays the role of a rescuer, sacrificing his life partner: “this is my cross”, “I have to save him/her”, help, inspire, cure alcoholism/drug addiction, psychological disorder (underline as appropriate), completely forgetting that he himself has himself and his life, his destiny, which is above all.

The extremes of this situation can be selfishness, a swing from side to side from the state of “I am worthless” to the state of “I am God and the king.”

Issues may arise with the musculoskeletal system and the immune system; the health of Rahu in the 1st house in general weakens a little. This is another indication that a person should be more attentive to himself, to his body, learn to feel himself, but also maintain balance, interacting harmoniously with society and his partner.
