The Influence of Rahu and the Signs

When Rahu is in the house of the body The 1st House or Lagna, there is disease in the physical form, heart-fever, and cold speech. From residing in foreign or outside places, one suffers. If Rahu is in Aries or Cancer, the person becomes diseased and devoid of wealth; the King or government/authority becomes like the wind—unstable or destructive. 4
