Planet in Sign
Rahu in Virgo (Kanya)
When Rahu (Rahu), the karaka of ambition, foreign, obsession, technology, illusion, occupies Virgo (Kanya), a earth sign ruled by mercury, its energy takes on the analytical, practical, meticulous, service-minded qualities of the sign.
The core meaning of Rahu in Virgo
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 Mercury, the lord of Virgo, blending the two energies.
Because Virgo is a dual earth sign, it shapes Rahu toward being analytical, practical, meticulous, service-minded. The matters Rahu governs, ambition, foreign, obsession, technology, illusion, are coloured by these traits throughout life.
