The graha rāhu¹ has moved to a different sign (rāśi¹) this week. The sign of tulā¹ will be frequented by rāhu for the next 1.5 years.
While in tulā ( libra) it will produce certain influences. Also pending one's natal chart this sign will also have a house number associated with it. That said, does any one care to offer the influences of rāhu in tulā ?
For me, it will be in the 12th house (bhāva). The influences will be around what the 12th house offers: loss, mokṣa ( which is within the loss catagory), confinement, bed comforts, far off lands, hearing ( the left ear), vision, feet, expenditure, spiritual knowledge, discharge of debts, restraint, occult affairs, etc. The kārakā for the 12th is śani which is also in tulā as of this post.
The 12th is a dusthāna or duḥ + sthāna. Let's look at the words:
This rāhu is natural bādhaka¹ in one's chart ; Now I have a bādhaka in a dusthāna. Can anyone care to offer an opinion on the influences ?
- duḥ ( or du) - 2nd derivation is defined as pain , or sorrow , afflict , distress ; to burn , consume with fire , cause internal heat
- The 1st derivation of du is 'to go'. So in jyotiṣ ( jyotish), the 2nd derivation is being applied.
- sthāna is defined as place of standing or staying , any place , spot , locality , abode , dwelling , house , site . In jyotish this would be considered a house or bhāva.
