Rahu planet North node

Rahu is a main planet in Astrology - Also know as the north node

Rahu, the north node of the Moon, shows the main forces of desire that have compelled us to take a body in this lifetime. Rahu represents material desire, but because he is not a physical planet he operates on the subconscious level. He distorts our perceptions and colors the world according to his desires. He tends to obliterate the essence of things, focusing on their material substance. He is our deepest subconscious material desire. Rahu obsesses over the things we need to learn so we can eventually be freed of them. There are certain lessons we can only learn in a physical body, in the physical world, and Rahu’s obsessions indicate those things.

Rahu will tend to feel like Saturn in that both of these planets bring stress and fear. The stresses of Saturn are based on the tangible known things in the universe that can go wrong, the health, the income, etc.; Rahu feels stress and worry about the many unknown, undeveloped qualities of our mind and experience. His obsessions are all attempts to assuage the undeveloped part of our consciousness. Yet Rahu can be very spiritual when powerful and aligned with Dharmic planets. When we desire truth, Rahu can bring Spiritual progress very quickly. Rahu affects all spiritual growth in one way or another, as it is he who represents matter and the purification of matter. Rahu is considered to be the head of a particularly crafty demon and thus indicates where we must get ahead and increase our awareness and consciousness.
