Watch for
Rahu lines can bring obsession, illusion and restlessness. Desire can outrun satisfaction, so keep your feet on the ground.
Rahu magnifies worldly desire, foreign connections and material ambition. It is central to questions about settling abroad in Vedic astrology, especially during a Rahu major period (Mahadasha).
