Title: Rahu’s Shadow and the Cosmic Currents: A Journey Through Karmic Lessons

“We are not born by chance, but under a precise planetary alignment. Each soul incarnates with a purpose – and the stars, they guide us towards it.”
In the ancient Vedic worldview, life is not linear. It is a dance of cycles, governed by cosmic rhythms far beyond human comprehension. The planetary periods – Mahadashas – are not random episodes, but sacred windows of karma unfolding.
Since late 2019, I have been navigating the Rahu Mahadasha – a period astrologers have long associated with illusion, disruption, and transformation. The loss of my high-paying job in Houston, followed by the unraveling of my domestic life, my vehicle, my home, and finally, my exile from Canada – were not merely unfortunate events. They were orchestrated by forces meant to strip the ego, the false securities, the attachments I had unknowingly built around me.
Rahu does not come to bless, not immediately. He comes to test.
In hindsight, I understand the trap. I had opened myself to public platforms, voicing critiques, engaging in what I thought was honest discourse. But Rahu feeds on shadow. It manipulates through digital webs, bureaucracy, manipulation – and I became entangled. A financial ambush followed. Banks delayed justice. Systems showed their darker side.
But here's the paradox: Rahu, though feared, is also the giver of breakthroughs. Like a spiritual surgeon, it cuts deep, removing illusions so the soul may awaken to its real purpose. Those who only fear Rahu miss its hidden boon – transformation.
Are you creating your own Rahu? Or is he awakening your inner truth?
We must also remember: Rahu is not working alone. Earth is not the center of the story. We are but a speck in a cosmic narrative shaped by unseen galactic forces – Neptune, Uranus, Pluto – planets far beyond, yet intricately tied to our evolution. They do not simply affect weather or tides. They influence consciousness.
To believe we are mere victims of circumstance is to ignore this vast intelligence. There are no coincidences in our birth, no randomness in our suffering. The pain is purposeful. The fall is engineered for the rise.
My journey is not one of loss, but of revelation.
What began as punishment is now becoming preparation.
So if you, too, are in your Rahu years – when life seems unfair, when systems conspire, when identities crumble – take heart. These forces are not against you. They are stripping away the noise so you can hear your soul again.
In darkness, there is design. In loss, the map of your destiny is being redrawn.
Reflections welcome. Have you lived through your Rahu phase? What did it teach you?
