Rahu is one of the powerful planets among the navagrahas and is usually considered as a shadow planet as it is mainly involved in the process of an eclipse. According to the Vedic astrology, planet Rahu is the giver of materialistic pleasure and the creator of hesitation and uncertainty. Rahu has control over a few hours of the day and this period is called Rahu Kalam and you are advised not to carry out any auspicious events during this time.

However, the position of Rahu in one’s horoscope determines how the life of an individual would be. The 7th house of the horoscope is related to marital life that is the bonding between the couples. As per astrologers, Rahu is an inauspicious planet and with Rahu in 7th house of one’s horoscope, it is very much clear that individuals will go through a lot of difficulties in life and their married life will be no less than a nightmare.

Firstly, people with Rahu in 7th house will have obstacles in finding a suitable life partner and when found it won’t be the way they had imagined. So, most of the time astrologers advise people with Rahu in 7th house to wait for the right time or get Rahu Shanti Homam done to reduce the malefic effects of this planet.

The negative influence is not just limited to marriage but also to business. Businessmen with Rahu in the seventh house will witness loss in their venture and they won’t be getting the expected support from other partners and from people working under them. This positioning of Rahu will also create health complications.

However, one need not worry as there are remedies in astrology to overcome the malefic effects of Rahu. Individuals with Rahu in 7th house of their horoscope must chant the powerful Rahu Beej mantra “Om Bhram Bhreem Bhrom Sah Rahave Namah” and Rahu Navagraha Mantra “Ardhakayam Mahaviryam Chandraditya Vimardanam, Simhika Garbhasambhootam Tam Rahum Pranamamyaham” 18000 times in 45days for immediate relief.

The other most effective remedy to be protected from the ill effects of this shadow planet is to worship Lord Ganesh as he is the remover of obstacles and Lord Shiva as well. Donating items related to Rahu such as mustard will get you the much-needed relief from the sufferings.
