What To Do In Rahu Mahadasha? Real Life Experience
Hello… greetings to all of you. If you are reading this post, it probably means that you are going through your Rahu Mahadasha. And honestly, I am facing the same thing. Right now, I am in Rahu Mahadasha with Ketu antardasha. My Rahu Mahadasha started in 2015 and it was very difficult. Toward the end of my Mars mahadasha period, problems had already begun building up in life.
Rahu-Rahu Period
As soon as Rahu enters, problems start becoming visible and slowly you get pulled so deeply into the problems that you stop understanding what is really happening in life. Nothing feels under control anymore.
The same thing happened to me. As life went on, during Rahu–Rahu, all kinds of problems began to appear. Then life suddenly took a sharp U-turn — we were at the top, and suddenly fell down to zero, not even zero I must say it was minus. I left my civil engineering, started giving tuitions and had breakup that time. It was very tough period, filled with loneliness, fear, failure, financial crunch and more. And that is the actual Rahu period where Rahu gives its full result with full potential.
Rahu-Jupiter Period
Then Jupiter came. Jupiter was well placed in my chart, so I received some help. At that time, I used to teach tuition classes, and that brought decent support. At that time, I made good money from crypto. But the problems did not completely disappear, and I had to relocate myself from my birthplace. I was around 20 years old at that time and had to leave home, friends, and a relationship.
During that period, I found my guru, Lord Krishna. And that helped me to learn about Karma Yoga. It helped me a lot.
Rahu-Saturn Period
During Saturn’s period, I experienced a lot of stress. I have to work a lot with low salary. Saturn creates pressure, and I was under too much pressure. Had no social life. My Saturn is in the 3rd house, so it gave me lots of travel.
It was during Saturn’s time that I entered astrology. I became extremely curious about why all this was happening to me. What was my purpose?
There was so much uncertainty that I did not know what to do. So, I consulted with lots of astrologer and they gave me basic remedies, like drinking water in a silver glass, keep peacock feather near the head, etc. But none of these basic remedies worked. During Saturn antardasha, I visited Vrindavan. There, a brahmin blessed me that I will soon complete my char dham yatra. And that happened during Saturn antardasha i visited Badrinath and Puri.
Rahu-Mercury Period
Mercury is in the 2nd house and in Capricorn rashi. So this period gave me a good amount of money, but it was in moon’s nakshtra and moon is my 8th lord, and that’s why it create trobles and gave me loneliness. During this period, I started learning astrology and also started a clothing business, but it did not work, so I had to close it. In Mercury Antardasha, I completed Rameshwaram and Dwarka.
This was the time I came to know that my chart has pitra dosh and kaalsarp dosh. For this, I went to Trayambakeshwar to do Narayan Naag Bali Puja and Kaalsarp Puja. After doing that i can see lots of change in my life, and I feel that this worked. Toward the end of Mercury’s period, I started stand-up comedy. I became deeply connected to speech. Mercury and Mars in the second house relate to speech. Saturn in the third house relates to communication.
Rahu-Ketu Period
I am now in Ketu antardasha, and it is going well. But I was afraid whether it would give me trouble or not. My Ketu is in the 4th house in Pisces, and its lord, Jupiter, is in the lagna in its own sign Sagittarius; its nakshatra lord is Mercury, and it is in the 2nd house. Currently, I am getting results of 1st, 2nd, and 4th.
Rahu in Houses
The biggest problem during Rahu is that you don’t know what you are supposed to do. You keep doing random things — start one thing, then switch to something else. In my case, Rahu was in the 10th house, so I changed my career many times. If someone has Rahu in the 7th house, they may keep changing partners. Rahu creates an illusion and creates fluctuations in the house where it is sitting.
Astrology Learning Phase
Earlier, I did not believe in astrology. But after studying it, I realized that these things actually work. I met astrologers, but I never got satisfactory answers.
So I started learning on my own — and I understood that the problems during Rahu depend on which planet is sitting with it, its position, house lord, and nakshatra.
If Rahu sits with the 8th lord, it will increase the result of the 8th house and often brings isolation and transformation. With the 9th lord, it can bring improvement. With the 5th lord, it can give good results. Nakshatra also matters.
Recently, I read a chart in which Rahu was in the 7th house in cancer sign, sitting alone. Its depositor moon was in the 12th house, and when Rahu mahadasha started, that person went abroad and lived there for 17 years. Now that person is in the ending phase of Rahu.
Travel & Pilgrimage
During Rahu, I traveled a lot. I completed the four holy pilgrimages — Badrinath, Dwarka, Rameshwaram, and Puri. It wasn’t that I was very eager to go; situations just formed in such a way that I had to visit temples. Money kept coming in this period. Rahu’s dispositor, Mercury, and its nakshtra lord mars both in the second house.
Rahu was with the 8th lord, which is why I experienced a lot of isolation.
I started meeting people less.
I am writing this post so that it can help someone else.
Relationships & Mental Impact
Breakups in relationships, uncertainty, and attracting the wrong people — all of this happened during Rahu mahadasha.
If Rahu sits with the lords of the 6th, 8th, or 12th houses, its despositor sitting in these house, or rahu in these houses it often creates repeated problems and will bring karmic relationship.
The Biggest Question About Rahu. Does Rahu eventually take away what it gives?
From my experience, yes, material things often slip from your had and it will be hard to hold it.
But there is one thing Rahu cannot take away: your good deeds. During this period try to do good works it will help you during your bad time.

Remedy for Mental Peace
During Rahu, mental peace is hard to find because Rahu hits moon that is your mind, mental peace, mental stability.
The best remedy is feeding people. It strengthens the Moon and calms the mind. If you have lots of emotional burden then please go for therapy.

Fear often increases during Rahu. You will go through a unknown fear that something bad will going to happen but nothing will happen. To overcome this fear try to do this.
