Planet in Sign
Rahu in Aries (Mesha)
When Rahu (Rahu), the karaka of ambition, foreign, obsession, technology, illusion, occupies Aries (Mesha), a fire sign ruled by mars, its energy takes on the pioneering, courageous, direct, energetic qualities of the sign.
The core meaning of Rahu in Aries
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 Mars, the lord of Aries, blending the two energies.
Because Aries is a movable fire sign, it shapes Rahu toward being pioneering, courageous, direct, energetic. The matters Rahu governs, ambition, foreign, obsession, technology, illusion, are coloured by these traits throughout life.
