Rahu in Aquarius Sign in 5th house for Libra Ascendants.

An exalted or a debilitated Rahu here will cause trouble through children. It will give the results of its placement in the first house to the children of the native. The native will face problems in love affairs and will suffer from stomach troubles. If Leo and the Sun in the horoscope are afflicted, the native may suffer from heart trouble. In this case Ketu is placed in Leo so Leo is already afflicted, It is important to check the Sun in both D-1 & D-9. If the owner of the eighth house is also involved, the native may succumb to it. If the twelfth house is so involved the native may have to be hospitalized.

There may be some defect in his speech. He will have great desire to speculate or indulge in betting, lotteries or horse racing. If a beneficial dispositor of Rahu is powerfully placed in an angle, (means if Saturn is placed in 1st, 4th, 7th or 10th house) there shall be sudden gain of wealth for the native through gambling, games of chance or speculation.

When the Moon is with Rahu in the fifth house, the native will have a quick temper and will be likely to lose his children or face difficulties due to them. An adverse Rahu will be bad for the elder sister/brother of the native. Such a Rahu connected with the seventh house will indicate a difficult love affair; and, connected with the twelfth shows the tendency to sexual promiscuity which may cause severe problems for the native. When the owner of the twelfth house is so connected, the native will find life difficult and be lonely and friendless. He will not be intelligent and not interested in finer things of life.

Rahu in the fifth house in association or aspect with the owner of the second or the seventh house will cause death of the native in its major or sub-periods if the life span has come to an end. Rahu here with the owner (Saturn) of the fifth house powerful and well placed, is an indication that the native is likely to gain wealth suddenly.

EIGHTH HOUSE represents:

Scrotum and anus. Excretory organs. Bladder. Left part of the chin, or stomach or left calf depending on the drekkan rising.
Piles, fistula and other diseases of the rectum. Urinary disorder. Facial disease.
Butchers, slaughter houses, coroners, and health inspectors.
Incurring debts and giving of loans.
Hidden meaning. Occult. Tantra. Marital bond.
Boat. Accident. Adhi (mental distress) and vyadhi (physical distress and pain), calamity, death-its place, cause, and nature. Mutilation, amputation, defeat, insult, sorrow, punishment given by the government, severe difficulties, obstruction, fear of enemies, arrest, detention, ill repute, criminal and violent attitude of the mind. Weapons. Morbid sexuality.
Ability to manipulate others.
Drugs.
Split between friends or partners, diplomatic defeat.
Going across waterbodies including the sea. Strange adventures of body and mind. Path through rough mountainous regions or wild and dense forests. Losing one’s way.
Matters relating to wealth etc., must be examined from this house also. (This house is seventh from the second house. It is therefore complimentary to the second house.). Unearned wealth. Acquiring and constructing religious property. Business matters and investments.
Financial matters relating to death, viz., legacy, insurance, will, gratuity, and inheritance
Rahu in Eight House:

This is not a good position for a badly placed Rahu. When Rahu is in a favorable sign, it will give good results in its sub-period in the major-period of a favorable planet. Its association with a good planet will also be beneficial. If it is favorable the native would be able to discharge his debts, and will acquire movable property. Such a Rahu will make the native wealthy after the age of 42 years. Rahu in this house with the owner of the eighth house causes fevers like typhoid. If the owner of the eighth house occupies the eighth house with Rahu or aspects it, the native will fall sick during the major or sub-periods of Rahu. Generally Rahu in this house tends to make the native face difficulties from his children, and with regard to his family and health. He may mismanage his finances. He will face humiliation and criticism. He may suffer from small pox, stomach trouble or trouble in the rectum or testicles. He will have a highly developed sex urge and may gratify it by having secret liaisons with women of ill repute. He may thus contract sexually transmitted diseases or such ailment which can neither be diagnosed nor treated. He may not live long. He will suffer from trouble caused by his enemies and there is a chance of his getting incarcerated. An adverse Rahu will bring down the native with serious sickness in his 9th year of life. His younger sister/brother will be happy and prosperous unless exceptions mentioned for the sixth house above exist. It will give results of its placement in the fourth house to the children of the native. His wife will have some speech defect or she will talk rudely or untruthfully. His father will not have a happy married life.

The question is “Do you think horoscope really matters?”

and my answer is “It depends”.

See, more than 50% of world’s population is unaware of their birth details & out of rest, almost another 40% of world’s population is not believing in astrology or horoscope. So roughly we may interpret that almost 90% people are unaware of their horoscope.

One thing here is very important to note that whether one believes or not but astrology works so prudently & perfectly. It is not important to sit idle with the horoscope in the hand & waiting for favorable time but important here is to work (your karma). Almighty has sent us to perform certain karmas(work) with some joys, sorrows, pleasures and sufferings. By even reading one’s horoscope, there is no remedies to get rid of these fruits of your life whether it is pleasure or pain.

In bhagvad geeta, Lord Krishna has clearly said to all humanbeings…

(Karmanye Vadhikaraste, Ma phaleshou kada chana,

Ma Karma Phala Hetur Bhurmatey Sangostva Akarmani )

This verse is from the Bhagawad Gita, where Arjuna was not willing to fight the Epic war of Mahabhaarat and Krishna explains to him to perform his duties.

Meaning…

Karmanye Vadhikaraste, Ma phaleshou kada chana – You have a right to perform your prescribed duty,but you are not entitled to the fruits of actions

Ma Karma Phala Hetur Bhurmatey Sangostva Akarmani – Never consider yourself the cause of the results of your activities, and never be attached to not doing your duty.

In simple terms it means: Keep on performing your duties without expecting for any reward in return, leading a selfless life – this it what it is all about.

So from the above mentioned verse it is very clear to all of us that we should perform our duties without expecting any fruits either from anyone or even from Astrology. So we should not wait for favorable period or planetary transits, we should act, perform our duties whole-heartedly. Because you will get what you are destined for…
