RAHU IN 5TH HOUSE

 Note: Rahu alone can’t produce results mentioned below. There has to be supporting combinations of other planets, houses and above all dispositor.

5th house represents a person’s creativity, intellect and charisma

Rahu in 5th will generate an inner desire and motivation to pursue creative hobbies like theatre, writing, singing etc. These can become profession only if there are other combinations of 3rd, 10th or 11th. Rahu will fire up the intellect in 5th house and the person will love to read books and gain knowledge. But do check the condition of Mercury as it is the significator of intellect (buddhi). Rahu in 5th adds a certain personal glamour and charisma to the individual which is unique and different from the crowd or community (11th house)

5th house indicates celebrity status, royalty, entertainment

Rahu in 5th can produce actors and entertainers in sports or other avenues. There will definitely be a unique talent that usually crops up in Rahu dasha and the person will be unaware of it initially. Rahu being a planet of technology will make the person use modern tools like You Tube, Instagram etc. to showcase their creativity

5th house represents children

Rahu in 5th alone will not deny children unless Saturn also gets involved in the picture but it does create difficulties and limits the number of children. Rahu in 5th can give unusual births like through the use of IVF or in-vitro fertilization etc. Rahu in 5th is also well known for adoptions

5th house indicates love affairs, romantic encounters, flirtations

Rahu in 5th can give a number of romantic encounters (do check Venus and 7th) with people of different communities, different races, different religions or different countries. In the initial life, the person might feel very shy to face the opposite sex but gradually they open up with age

5th house indicates college or degree education

Rahu in 5th usually gives a technical education like engineering, Artificial Intelligence, data science, biotechnology, biochemistry, virology etc. Non-technical education can happen only if other planets are overruling Rahu and dasha of other planets come in at the right time. Rahu in 5th is a good indicator for foreign education or long distance education by getting enrolled in a foreign university course

5th house represents politics and self expression

Rahu in 5th can give a political career if 10th lord also supports it. One big karma for the individual in this life is to express their views, opinions, intelligence without getting influenced by the community and large groups of people (11th house). They need to build their own ego and individuality and not get lost in group/herd mentality (11th house). One negative thing that Rahu can create is excessive ego, self centeredness and narcissism which can make a person reluctant to share with others (11th) or give respect to other people’s opinions/desires

5th house represents speculative gains (income by luck and chance) like gambling, stock markets, horse racing, sports, games etc.

Rahu in 5th can give an obssession about gambling and earning money quickly by chance and luck. Though it can create sudden gains through lottery, game shows or casinos etc., still the individual has to watch out for compulsive behaviour which can become a money or debt trap later

On the negative side, Rahu in 5th is in a purva punya house and can bring in some past negative karmas to deal with in this lifetime. A malefic in 5th aspecting 9th and 1st can really affect a person’s ethical and moral thinking (dharma houses). This Rahu can produce weird children who might not behave like the way you wanted them to but the children will have a very strong influence on your life. Rahu in 5th can produce strong ego and narcissistic tendencies (excessive self obessession). Lot of instagram models who are obssessed with selfies and how they look generally have Ra/Ke in 5th. All these negative traits are minimized if dispositor is strongly placed in kendra/trikona or Rahu is aspected by functional benefics/Jupiter
