Going through a tough time and struggling with illusions, hardship and health issues? Then these may be the subtle signs of a Rahu dosha in your birth chart. But what exactly is Rahu, and how does it affect your life? Read on to know more…
What is Rahu dosha?
According to Vedic astrology, Rahu dosha is basically a shadow affliction from the north lunar node that leads to hardships, illusions, sudden losses, and health issues, and it also leads to issues in relationships by clouding the mind’s clarity. Rahu dosha can also afflict homes through their clutter and untidy northwest zones or bathrooms; this is because these areas of the house are linked to Rahu’s watery energy that stays around dirty and impure places, which eventually manifests as unexplained setbacks. However, there is one effortless remedy that can reduce the malefic effect of this dosha by a daily practice of cleaning the washroom, which may mitigate this dosha by purifying Apas tattva and invoking Saturn’s discipline to ground Rahu’s erratic prana and restore the effortless flow of life.
Purifying Rahu’s impurities
Cleaning washrooms may seem like a tough task; this is because washrooms embody Rahu’s tamasic realm. This is because the drains reflect karmic debts and leaks, mirrors reflect deceptive illusions, and moisture breeds subconscious fears; and cleaning it can reduce the malefic effect of Rahu.Another thing that increases the dosha is neglect, which leads to amplification of the dosha and reflects as stagnant water, which often mirrors mental fog, fostering family discord or financial drips. It is believed that daily scrubbing with salt water made with one fistful of rock salt per bucket may act as a cosmic flush, dissolving Rahu’s grip like Ganga jal rinsing sins, and aligning the bathroom with sattvic vibrations for unblocked prosperity.

Elements for Karmic Balance
Rahu disrupts vayu and jal tatvas. It is believed that step-by-step cleansing and cleaning of the bathroom starting clockwise from drains by chanting “Om Ram Rahave Namah” 21 times can channel Agni’s fire element through the friction and help neutralize malefic effect. Next, use neem-mixed mop water on Tuesdays to counter Rahu’s weekday reign, preventing pitta imbalances like migraines or kid illnesses. This ritual transforms the bathroom into a prana-radiating zone, which helps calm the energy of the house.
Effortless Ripple to Family Aura
Apart from scrubbing tiles and fixtures, one can fix rahu by wiping the mirrors with lemon-rubbed cloth; this is believed to shatter illusions and self-doubt, boosting confidence and marital harmony. Also, sprinkling the water of the holy Conch shell after cleansing can invoke Varuna’s energy, which further seals leaks in wealth and health. It further helps in vanishing arguments, reducing career hurdles, and making intuitive decisions within weeks.
