Rahu, modern world illusion maker

Rahu is one of the most manifested planets in the modern world. It creates illusions, insatiable desires and is tightly connected to technology.
In the cosmic dance of celestial bodies, Rahu emerges as a significant player, casting its influence over our lives daily. Some astrologers even declare modern days an "era of Rahu". Rahu is considered in Hindu astrology a first class malefic and embodies a complex blend of positive and negative energies, shaping our desires, ambitions, and experiences.
On the positive side, Rahu's domain encompasses worldly desires and greatest ambitions, fueling the drive for expansion and technological progress. It is also connected with new technologies, paving the way for innovation and breakthroughs in various fields. Under its strong influence, individuals feel themselves propelled towards achieving greater material success, world recognition and technology inventions.
However, the shadowy side of Rahu reveals a realm full of illusions and insatiable desires. It is the manifestation of cravings that remain perpetually unsatisfied, leading some of us down the path of addiction, like drugs and alcohol. Other modern manifestations of Rahu's influence include FOMO (fear of missing out), the incessant scrolling through negative news feeds (doomscrolling), and the addictive allure of social media and binge-watching TV series.
For everyone who has a smartphone, tablet, laptop and TV at home and spend on the devices several hours per day, harmonising Rahu's energy is highly recommended. In a really bad scenario Rahu's energy lead towards depressions, addictive eating and drinking, harmed general well-being.
While it may seem tempting to shut out or suppress Rahu's influence entirely, it's influences are important for us, as they move the world towards progress. Instead, the key lies in balancing and channeling its energies constructively.
Hindu astrologers offer various remedies to harmonise Rahu's influence, starting with the use of specific gemstones and chanting of mantras to the performance of specific rituals. While these practices could be very effective, many western people find them unfamiliar and uncomfortable.
An alternative and more accessible approach, endorsed by doctors and psychologists alike, is to align the lifestyle with Rahu's cycles. Easiest and very effective way to harmonise Rahu energy is to go to be early, ideally before 22.00. Timeframe from 22:00 to 2:00 is considered Rahu's most potent period, during which its influence is most pronounced. By retiring early on a regular basis a person can avoid a lot of negative Rahu sides. On the top of that, waking up early is easy but also very effective way to harmonise energies of Sun and Saturn.
