Because Rahu has no house of its own here, its results come through ambition, foreign links, unconventional paths and obsession, coloured by wherever it sits for you.

Neither Rahu nor Ketu has lordship of its own, so the mix depends on the houses and signs the two nodes occupy in your chart.

What your own chart decides
- Where Ketu sits counted from Rahu in your chart. Positions such as the 6th, 8th or 12th from each other usually ask for more adjustment than the 1st, 5th, 9th or 11th, and only your birth chart shows this.
- Where the node sits and who its dispositor is. Rahu has no sign of its own, so the sign, house and ruler it occupies decide most of what this period feels like.
- Your ascendant and the houses these planets actually occupy. This page counts from the Moon, and your lagna can give a different set of lordships, so both views are read together.
- Current transits. Astrika reads natal chart, dasha and transit together, and a period tends to show its results most clearly when all three agree. Remedies, if any, depend on your own chart, so none are listed here.
