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.
Cancer is a movable water sign ruled by the Moon. It stands for home, mother, emotions, nourishment and protection. Planets here become caring, intuitive and family-oriented, and they act on feeling as much as logic. It is the sign of the nurturer, the homemaker and the public servant.
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.
