How to appease Rahu???

[Vedic Student]

Hello,
I have been running Rahu dasha since 1991 and it ends only in Oct 2009, Rahu is in 12th house in my chart , i have been facing so many problems since last year that i have finally decided to do remedies to appease Rahu, if the gurus here can suggest some remedies that can be done at home, i would definitely do it.I look forward to your reply.
Here's my Birth Details:

DOB: 18 Nov 1976
Time of birth: 07:35 AM
Coordinates: Latitude: 014:14:N / Longitude: 076:24:E

I would really appreciate your response.

Thanks in advance.

Namaste,

The first and last years of Rahu Dasa are often the most upsetting times, so you are wise to begin remedial measures now.

Generally, some of the best remedies for any planetary affliction will be seva and charity, meditation and yoga.

One of the best ways to appease the lunar nodes is Pranayama, and specifically Nadi Sodhana Pranayama, alternate nostril breath for full psychic body purification. You will be amazed at the inner and outer changes that occur when you are diligent with this practice.

To appease and propitiate Rahu, I find that a daily Durga Puja is most important. Begin a mantra to Durga on the 9th day of either Paksha. A good simple one is Om Dum Durgaya Namaha. You could do this with a Rudraksha Mala, a 9-mukhi one might be best. You should also have Yagyas done to Ma Durga.

Jai Maa!

Namaste Julia,
Thank you for your response.I have been meditating for the last 3 years, and recite the durga mantra you suggested "Om Dum Durgaya Namaha" almost daily.I haven't tried pranayama yet.

I'm running Rahu Mahadasha/ Chandra antardasha for the last 1 year and its going to end in Sep 08, the last antardasha (mars) who happens to be a yogakarka for my chart would hopefully end my struggles.

Again thanks for your response.

Namaste,

Is the chart set in Bangalore?

Sounds like you are doing the right remedies, but again, do please add alternate nostril breath/nadi shodana...as it will purify the subtle energy system, which is a direct remedy for the lunar nodes.

Rahu and the Moon have similar energies even though Rahu is said to be an enemy of the Moon. Both are related to the Divine Feminine Principle so it is even better that you do Devi Pujas now! Rahu-Moon cycles "generally" can be good for spiritual development and tapping into unseen realms, for good or bad depending on other factors. In Rahu-Moon periods, it can be good to take the Bach Flower Remedy called "Yarrow" to create a strong, shining shield of light around your aura, to protect you from certain astral energies.

There is a yoga in your chart called "Sisnavyadhi" in which the 6th and 8th lords conjoin in the 1st house, which can have an effect of making you worry about your health etc. I think sometimes in Rahu cycles we worry more than usual too, so if you are worrying a lot, feeling anxious etc., then this may also be a good time to deal with it. Meditation, as you say you are doing, can be helpful, and sometimes psychotherapy or body-centered counseling can help us find and free ourselves from certain troubling emotional dynamics at play. This kind of psychological remedy is a more "modern" upaya, especially for nodal periods.

I hope you can continue to find the inner and outer resources to help end your struggles.

Jai Ma!

Namaste Juliana,
Thank you for your response.I was born in a place called chitradurga about 125 miles North of Bangalore.

There is a yoga in your chart called "Sisnavyadhi" , which can have an effect of making you worry about your health

Actually i very rarely worry about my health but i do worry a lot about my career.

I will keep your advice in mind and include alternate nostril breath/nadi shodana in my daily practice.

Again thanks for responding to my query.

hi, this is ritu saxena-datwani. my dob - 16.08.71, time - 15.27 hrs, place - new delhi

wonder what is my dasha and mahadasha and what should i do to earn money and make it stay. Would be highly obliged at rec an answer, thanks - ritu

[Juliana Swanson]

Hi...It would behoove you to pay for services for a reading with an astrologer! Here we cannot give a thorough reading like that! But basically...you are in Saturn-Ketu which can be a time of financial and other worries which can lead to an awakening of consciousness if you handle it right. You should offer charitable service and give donations of time and goods to the elderly or infirm, and you should do spiritual practices that cultivate unconditionality and detachment. I believe you could work in a business or health care field and could do well in financial management or any business related to marketing, education, advertising or media.

You are in a Rahu-Moon dasha and you are in almost the exact Rahu return transit...it is the end of a karmic cycle for you in the coming months, but I can see you are facing some financial difficulties, interpersonal issues, problems with health and possibly even the danger of an accident or imprisonment. It would be good for you to retreat and withdraw if things are not working out in your current path. Please find a place to practice renunciation and offer your energies to your spiritual practice and seva. The Maha Mritunjaya mantra would be helpful now. Remember that "life is but a dream" and endeavor to wake up and see the miraculous play of the world. May you be happy and free of suffering.

Respected Madam,

When my good time will start, can you suggest me some gem stones which can make me feel more comfertable, Like some one suggested to wear a MANAK for better life what you suggest shall i wear or not

[Juliana Swanson]

That would probably be a good gem for you as Surya plus ruler of 9th house and Lagna are in Simha Rashi. You should also get an astral kavach to wear and then also worship Durga Ma.
