Planet in Sign
Rahu in Libra (Tula)
When Rahu (Rahu), the karaka of ambition, foreign, obsession, technology, illusion, occupies Libra (Tula), a air sign ruled by venus, its energy takes on the diplomatic, charming, fair, social qualities of the sign.
The core meaning of Rahu in Libra
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 Venus, the lord of Libra, blending the two energies.
Because Libra is a movable air sign, it shapes Rahu toward being diplomatic, charming, fair, social. The matters Rahu governs, ambition, foreign, obsession, technology, illusion, are coloured by these traits throughout life.
