Rahu and Past Life Desires: Your Unfinished Karmic Business Revealed

While Ketu shows what you've mastered, Rahu reveals what your soul desperately wants to experience in this lifetime. Rahu represents the unfulfilled desires from past lives - the experiences your soul didn't complete and now craves.

Rahu's Nature: The Insatiable Head

From the mythology, Rahu is the head without a body - it can consume endlessly but never feel satisfied. This perfectly describes Rahu's role in your chart: pointing to areas of intense desire that drives growth but can also become obsessive.
