Debilitated Rahu in Fifth House
Rahu is debilitated in Scorpio as well as in Pisces. For the sake of this discussion, we’ll consider both these placements of Rahu. Debilitated Rahu is benefic in the fifth house in some cases whereas it may turn malefic in some cases. The influences of other benefic and malefic planets on Rahu and the overall theme of horoscope are important criteria when it comes to decide the functional nature of Rahu in a horoscope.
As the number and strengths of benefic and/or malefic planets influencing Rahu in a horoscope increase, Rahu may become more benefic or malefic. The concept of benefic planets turning malefic due to influences of malefic planets, and the concept of malefic planets turning benefic due to influences of benefic planets have been explained in Manglik Dosh section of the book ‘Match Making and Manglik Dosh (Revised Edition)’.
Let’s look at some results which may be given by debilitated Rahu in the fifth house when it is benefic. Benefic debilitated Rahu in the fifth house of horoscope can bless the native with good results related to love life, children, education, spiritual growth, creativity, profession, finances, reputation, authority, fame and several other good results, depending on his overall horoscope and running times.
Such debilitated Rahu can bless the native with a post of authority in government. Hence the native may achieve success as a police officer, army officer, air force officer, naval officer, fire-fighting officer, revenue officer, judge, administrative officer, foreign services officer, education officer, medical officer, scientist, engineer, telecom officer, information and broadcast officer, aviation officer, transport officer, railway officer, politician or some other type of professional, depending on his overall horoscope and running times.
Taking an example, suppose benefic debilitated Rahu is placed in the fifth house of a horoscope in Scorpio. Debilitated Ketu is placed in the eleventh house in Taurus, Saturn is placed in the first house in Cancer, Jupiter is placed in the sixth house in Sagittarius, benefic Venus is placed in the tenth house in Aries and benefic Sun is placed in the ninth house in Pisces with debilitated Mercury. In this case, the native may join politics. He may engage in politics after the age of 25 or 30, and he may come across good amount of success, recognition and authority as a politician. The native may win more than one public election after the age of 35, and he may become a member of legislative assembly of a state or that of parliament of his country, more than once in his life. The native may also become a minister in the state government, if his overall horoscope and running times are supportive.
If benefic Moon is placed in the seventh house in Capricorn and benefic Mars is placed in the ninth house in Pisces with Sun and Mercury, the equation may get better. In this case, the native may possess very good abilities as a politician and he may come across a lot of success, authority, fame and recognition. The native may win several public elections and he may become a minister in a state government, many times in his life. If the finer factors and running times are supportive, the native may become the chief minister of a state or he may become a minister in the national government.
Such debilitated Rahu can help the native achieve success as an astrologer, tantric, hypnotist, magician, psychic, healer, palmist, tarot reader, numerologist, vastu expert, spiritual guru, philosopher, researcher, analyst, discoverer, scientist, mathematician, astronaut, astronomer, diplomat, singer, actor, writer, painter, sculptor, musician, dancer, sportsman, architect, fashion designer, dress designer, video game designer, software developer, IT professional, web developer, reporter, journalist, blogger, columnist, anchor, television show host, orator, speaker, teacher, coach, consultant, advisor, doctor, therapist, pilot, professional dealing in movie industry, television, music, book, sports, arms, media, finance, education, coaching, advertisement, marketing, event management, matrimonial, software, IT, investment, health, pharmaceutical, fitness, travel, food, hotel, airline, cosmetic, real estate, ecommerce, telecom, internet, website, social media, liquor, casino, tobacco industry or some other type of professional, depending on his overall horoscope and running times.
Apart from these, benefic debilitated Rahu in the fifth house of horoscope can bless the native with several other good results, depending on his overall horoscope and running times.
On the other hand, malefic debilitated Rahu in the fifth house of horoscope can trouble the native with problems related to love life, children, education, spiritual growth, profession, finances, reputation and several other good results, depending on his overall horoscope and running times.
Such debilitated Rahu can trouble the native with problems related to love life and it can also cause delay in marriage, when influenced by other malefic planets. Taking an example, suppose malefic debilitated Rahu is placed in the fifth house of a horoscope in Pisces with malefic exalted Venus and Saturn. Malefic debilitated Ketu is placed in the eleventh house in Virgo, benefic exalted Sun is placed in the sixth house in Aries, malefic Mercury is placed in the seventh house in Taurus and exalted Mars is placed in the third house in Capricorn. In this case, the native may engage in a love affair which may last for more than 5 years, but it may not convert into marriage. The relationship may witness many ups and downs, and it may finally dissolve, unless there are grace saving factors in the horoscope. The native may witness delay in marriage and he may get married after the age of 35 or 40.
If Jupiter is placed in the eighth house in Gemini and Moon is placed in the eleventh house in Virgo with Ketu, the equation may become more troublesome. In this case, the native may have a love affair which may last for more than 7 or 10 years but it may not convert into marriage. Native’s lover may undergo one or more abortions and the couple may break up and reconcile many times during such relationship. Ultimately, the relationship may fail, and native’s lover may get married. The native may not get married till the age of 45 or he may not get married throughout his life, depending on the finer factors and running times.
Apart from these, malefic debilitated Rahu in the fifth house of horoscope can trouble the native with several other problems, depending on his overall horoscope and running times.
