Rahu in Sagittarius (Dhanu)
When Rahu (Rahu), the karaka of ambition, foreign, obsession, technology, illusion, occupies Sagittarius (Dhanu), a fire sign ruled by jupiter, its energy takes on the optimistic, philosophical, adventurous, honest qualities of the sign.
The core meaning of Rahu in Sagittarius
Rahu is the north lunar node, a shadow planet of worldly desire, foreign lands and sudden rise. It amplifies whatever house and sign it occupies.
Rahu expresses here through the lens of Jupiter, the lord of Sagittarius, blending the two energies.
Because Sagittarius is a dual fire sign, it shapes Rahu toward being optimistic, philosophical, adventurous, honest. The matters Rahu governs, ambition, foreign, obsession, technology, illusion, are coloured by these traits throughout life.
