Rahu: In astrology, Rahu is associated with illusion, delusion, and uncertainty. But today, a large population around the world is trapped in digital worlds, living in confusion and mental restlessness. Is Rahu the new incarnation of this?

Rahu:  A large number of people today suffer from mental restlessness, insomnia, anxiety, and confusion. Astrologically, Rahu is said to be the cause of these problems. Although Rahu is a shadow planet, it is also known as the illusory planet.

Rahu is considered a factor of confusion, uncertainty, and excessive material desires. In today's fast-paced digital world, people crave screens, scrolling, and notifications—all in one click. Without these, restlessness increases. People struggle to sleep without scrolling through their mobile phones, and the mind remains restless without constantly checking notifications or messages on their phones.

Are these habits connected to Rahu? Is Rahu now the driver of this instantaneous trend? The mysterious, virtual, boundary-breaking nature of Rahu is remarkably compatible with the digital age. So, can we say that social media, scrolling, and the glitz of the virtual world are all new incarnations of the elusive Rahu, confusing and disrupting our mental peace and consciousness? Let's explore the details.

Rahu, the new avatar of the digital age

FOMO, illusion, and delusion—  Rahu spreads illusion. Today's social media comparisons, FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) and virtual identities are extensions of this. Rahu's influence creates insatiable desires in people. This is the hunger for more, which can be seen in the form of likes, views, comments, etc. on social media. The digital addiction has gripped people to such an extent that they are destroying their mental peace by spending time staring at screens late into the night. Especially those with a weak Rahu position in their horoscopes are easily vulnerable.

Rahu spreads illusions. Even on social media, everyone portrays their lives as perfect, which is simply an illusion. When we constantly see these unrealistic images, we develop a strong sense of FOMO and feel left out. This comparative stress directly impacts our self-confidence and increases mental anxiety.

Digital Addiction - Rahu always encourages excess and addiction. Likes, comments, and shares on our smartphones are no less an addiction in our lives. This addiction forces us to pick up our phones repeatedly, leading to digital addiction. This addiction can destroy our ability to concentrate and rob us of sleep and peace.

Rahu is a shadow planet that draws us away from reality. In this digital age, the virtual world we spend so much of our time in is, like Rahu, drawing us away from real life. Sometimes, we even lose sight of relationships, responsibilities, and moments of joy.

What to do and how to avoid it

• Some simple measures can be taken to get relief from the glare of the digital world and the confusion, stress and lack of sleep caused by Rahu.
• To reduce the inauspicious effects of Rahu, chant the mantra Om Rahve Namah 108 times.
• Wake up early in the morning, do Surya Namaskar and walk barefoot on grass or soil for some time.
• Practice a digital fast for one day a week, meaning take a break from your phone.
