Rahu in Aries gives bold ambition and a hunger to lead and be first. You take risks, act fast and want to stand out. Entrepreneurship, sport and politics attract you.

Rahu, the north node of the Moon, is a shadow planet of desire, ambition and the unconventional. It links to foreign lands, technology, media, politics and anything new or outside tradition. Rahu magnifies whatever it touches, bringing sudden rises and restless hunger. Its house shows where you want more and where you must stay grounded.
Aries is the first sign of the zodiac: a movable fire sign ruled by Mars. It stands for beginnings, courage, speed and self-assertion. Planets here act quickly and directly, preferring action to waiting. It is the sign of the pioneer, the athlete and the soldier. In the body it is linked with the head, and in life with fresh starts and independent effort.
Astrology describes tendencies, not certainties. A single placement is only one part of a chart; the whole kundli, its strength and the running dasha change how it shows up. For guidance and interest only.
