Number 4 and Rahu
People born on 4, 13, 22, or 31 of any month, or whose name number or destiny adds up to 4 are ruled by Rahu. The qualities of Rahu described below are most clearly visible in people who have 4 as a psychic number.
Rahu and Ketu are two nodes of the moon. They represent a point where the plane of the moon’s orbit intersects with the plane of the zodiac constellations. Rahu and Ketu do not exist as material entities like the other seven planets, but they each represent a point where the plane of the moon’s orbit around our planet intersects with the plane of the ecliptic of the zodiac constellations.
Astrologers, astronomers, and numerologists alike are interested in the nodes of the Moon. These points are important because they represent intersections where the Moon’s path intersects with other paths of planets. The Moon is universally recognized for its powerful emotional influence on humans.
Nodes are not Points in Space
Nodes are not points in space. They are always retrograde, so they never move forward. Astrologers and astronomers began to use them to predict the time of solar and lunar eclipses. Astrologers called the nodes “half-planets,” because their work was so important.
Also, they are not real entities, so their influence is different in every chart. They affect the mind more than anything else. Rahu, the north node of the moon, is a disruptive force that changes people’s behavior on many levels.
Rahu is the malefic planet of the natal chart. It is associated with dissatisfaction, hedonism, and revolution. Its natives are lazy, confused, and eternally dissatisfied. They are prone to fear, anger, hatred, and plots for revenge. Rahu makes its natives lazy, lethargic, dull, ignorant, fearful, angry, hateful, and revenge-seeking.
When Rahu is in a favorable position, it gives its natives a talent for art and writing. It brings them success and fame. It also makes them physically attractive and beautiful. However, it can also make them smart, bold, and secretive.
Rahu is a planet that makes people interested in politics. Rahu’s natives are often in opposition because they see the unseen side of all truth in existence. When Rahu is conjunct with Jupiter or Venus, it gives its natives access to secret sciences, Tantra, astrology, etc.
