Importance and remedies of planet Rahu according to Vedic astrology

Importance of Rahu in life

According to astrology, Rahu is considered a shadow planet and the effect of Rahu depends on its conjunction with other planets in the horoscope. Generally, Rahu becomes stronger when it combines with other planets.

Mythologically, the origin of Rahu is related to the churning of the ocean and the creation of the divine nectar, amrit. While the divine drink was being distributed to the gods, a demon, Swarnabhanu, fraudulently joined the troupe. He drank some nectar. Surya, Moon and Mohini, the incarnation of Vishnu, saw this. Before the nectar could go down his throat, Lord Vishnu beheaded him with Sudarshan Chakra. But the demon’s head became immortal and ended up as the planet Rahu. The other part of the body became Ketu.
