Libra: Air · Cardinal · ruled by Venus
Rahu (Rahu) is a shadow planet — amplifying, unbounded, hungry, and signifies obsession, foreign things, ambition, illusion. Its fundamental drive is to want more, to break rules, and to reach past its station. When it occupies Libra — a air sign of cardinal quality ruled by Venus — that drive is pursued diplomatically, aesthetically, and with reference to others.
Rahu is neither exalted nor debilitated in Libra, so the result depends heavily on its house, aspects, and the strength of Venus, the sign lord.
The areas Rahu governs — obsession, foreign things, ambition, illusion — take on Libra's character. Because Venus rules Libra, the condition of Venus in the chart matters nearly as much as Rahu itself: a strong Venus lifts this placement, a weak or afflicted one undercuts it.
A single placement is never the whole story. The house Rahu occupies usually speaks louder than the sign, and aspects from Jupiter or Saturn can transform the result entirely. Read this page as one factor among several, not a verdict.
