Rahu in the 11th house
North node · Labha Bhava
Rahu is the karaka (significator) of ambition, foreign links, technology and desire. The 11th house, called Labha Bhava, shows gains, income and friends. When Rahu sits here, these matters take on its colour.
In the 11th house a malefic is strong: it brings gains, fulfilment of desires and influential contacts.
The 11th house is an upachaya (house of growth): results improve steadily with time and effort.
Rahu is a shadow graha and gives the results of the sign lord and conjunct grahas; it is considered strong in Vrishabha.
Results are weaker if Rahu is debilitated in Vrishchika, combust, or afflicted by malefics.
In transit (gochar)
When Rahu transits the 11th house counted from your Moon sign, the period is traditionally favourable.
A single placement is never read alone: sign, aspects, conjunctions, dasha and the whole chart change the outcome.
