Rahu in Mythology and Mundane Reality

In Hindu mythology, Rahu is the shadow demon who deceitfully drank Amrit (nectar) and attained immortality. Yet, when afflicted, Rahu behaves exactly opposite to nectar—it poisons systems, reverses order, and turns stability into chaos, much like a serpent striking without warning.

Classical Jyotish texts and practical Mundane Astrology both confirm one truth:

When Rahu is afflicted—especially during eclipses—it does not act subtly.
It overturns the table.

Wars, geopolitical shocks, market collapses, regime instability, natural and unnatural calamities—all fall under Rahu’s dark portfolio.

Why 2026 Is Exceptionally Dangerous

The year 2026 is not an ordinary Rahu year.

• Multiple eclipse activations

• Rahu repeatedly afflicted by Sun, Moon, Mars, Saturn

• Direct involvement of global power charts

• Marka Dashas operating for nations and leaders

• Rahu influencing the 7th house (war, confrontation, open enemies)

This creates a rare condition where Rahu takes the steering wheel.

Why Eclipses Make Rahu Uncontrollable

Eclipses are Rahu–Ketu’s battlefield.

In 2026:

• Eclipses occur on the Leo–Aquarius axis

• This axis directly impacts global leadership, power blocs, and mass movements

• During eclipse months, Rahu stops obeying Jupiterian or Saturnine restraint

Whatever is already unstable escalates beyond imagination.

United States & Donald Trump — The Epicenter

• Rahu transits the 7th house of:

  • The US foundation chart

  • Donald Trump’s natal chart

• The 7th house = war, confrontation, open enemies, treaties, trade wars

Operating Dashas:

• USA: Rahu–Saturn (both malefic, restrictive, karmic)

• Trump: Jupiter–Venus (connected to Marka sthanas under eclipse stress)

➡️ This explains:

• Aggressive tariff threats

• Pressure on NATO

• Shadow wars

• Escalation with adversarial nations

• Unpredictable executive decisions

Rahu in the 7th never negotiates—it confronts.

Rahu does not start chaos; it multiplies it.

Final Assessment

Rahu in 2026 is not a background player.
It is driving the vehicle.

Those who believe diplomacy alone will contain 2026 are underestimating the shadow planet’s appetite for chaos.

History shows:

Whenever eclipses, Rahu affliction, and Marka Dashas combine—
the world never remains the same.
