The thing with Rahu in the 2nd house is—well, let’s just say you’ll never forget someone with this placement. I don’t need to go far to explain what this feels like because I’ve read enough charts, met enough people, and heard enough… voices to spot a 2nd house Rahuvian when they open their mouth. Yes, we’re back to the mysterious Rahu, and this time, it has slithered its way into the house of speech, family, values, and wealth—making for some of the most unforgettable (and sometimes unhinged) people out there.
Now, in case you forgot, Rahu isn’t even a planet. It’s the north node of the Moon, a shadow. But boy, does this shadow know how to cast a long one over your early upbringing, your language, and—very often—your bank balance. The 21st century belongs to Rahu, I said it before and I’ll say it again. It thrives in chaos, in boundary-pushing, in bending the rules. And in the 2nd house? It twists everything you think you know about traditional values.
So how do you spot a 2nd house Rahuvian? Don’t worry—you’ll hear them before you see them.
Let’s start with the voice.
Booming, nasal, deep, hypnotic—there’s something about how they speak that makes you stop and listen. I’ve met Rahuvian who could sell you your own soul and make you say thank you. Radio hosts, singers, actors, cult leaders (don’t get any ideas)—these folks are born to speak. And they often do it in a way that bends language, mixes dialects, throws in foreign words like spice. Rahu governs all things foreign, after all. Multilingual? Often. Or if not, they’ll fake it till they make it, because Rahu doesn’t care if it’s real, it only cares if it works.
Next, the face.
Striking, sometimes asymmetrical, but always memorable. The mouth and jawline often stand out—full lips, or a pronounced lower half of the face. I once read a chart with this placement whose smile and eyes alone had me think, yeah that is Rahu at its best. He was green eyed, had a wolfish grin that reminded me of Charlie Sheen( Sheen is a first house Rahuvian coincidentally) and spoke with a nice smoker style gravel voice, he was puffing on a foreign cigar in the Hyatt Regency hotel in the smoking lounge, while he was listening to me intently and impressed while I dissected his chart, he did offer me a cigar but I declined. And that’s classic Rahu—it doesn’t know moderation, neither does it care for it.
Now let’s talk about family life, which Rahu, in its infinite rebelliousness, usually disrupts. These people often feel like the black sheep. Raised in a family they don’t relate to, or in environments that feel “off,” they may carry karmic residue from ancestral wounds. The early family dynamic is often strained, strange, or full of secrets. Money might be a point of conflict, or obsession. These folks don’t just want wealth—they crave it like a dragon hoarding gold. The hunger for financial security is intense, especially because Rahu represents unquenchable desire.
You’ll notice a peculiar attitude toward money—either they’re constantly broke because of impulsive spending, or they’re weirdly rich but paranoid about losing it. There’s rarely a middle ground. In some charts, this placement creates the classic “rags to riches” or “riches to rags to riches again” story arc. Think lottery winners, crypto addicts, startup cowboys and hustlers. My cousin has this placement, utterly disinterested in academics, he started event management at 19 and today lives next to Mahesh Babu, way beyond all his academically gifted peers. Although a bit of warning is that this is a more than apt placement for con men, Charles Sobhraj has this placement too, Rahu conjunct Jupiter. He conned people using his intellect, street smart and book smart at once, a man who could read Nietzsche and speak 7 languages in the same breath, you will be quite surprised if you don’t know already, Charles Sobhraj was nicknamed The Serpent, maybe his Rahu was behind that nickname too eh, one wonders. If you look at the below photo, you will see his face, especially the eyes and jaw conforming to what I have written.
And yes, they’re always a little extra.
You know that one person in your group who eats like it’s their last day on Earth, hoards 15 types of mustard in their fridge, and has intense food opinions like “don’t trust anyone who eats bananas”? That’s peak Rahu in the 2nd. It governs the mouth—literally what you consume—so people with this placement often have wild food habits, allergies, or preferences. Some are obsessed with nutrition, others with junk food, but moderation? That’s for peasants. And smokers are also the kids of Rahu, as I gave the example of my client above. A prominent Rahuvian and not a smoker? It would be easier to see a unicorn.
Now if you want to know how to tell whether this person is going to succeed in life or just live off Instagram stories and half-baked hustle schemes, look at their Venus, Moon, and Mercury.
- Venus = ability to attract wealth and speak sweetly
- Moon = emotional intelligence and family bonding
- Mercury = the sharpness and agility of their speech, and whether it’s convincing or just chaotic
If all three are weak, you may have someone who talks a lot but says nothing. But if these are strong—watch out. You’ve got a powerful alchemist in your hands, someone who can talk, eat, and manifest their way into influence.
To all the 2nd house Rahuvians reading this: you weren’t born to whisper. You were born to declare, to unsettle dinner tables, to say the thing everyone’s thinking but no one dares to voice. Your tongue is a weapon, your appetite is divine disorder, and your values? Rewritten from scratch, in your own script.
You’re not here to politely inherit your great-grandfather’s dusty belief system or follow your family’s ancient budget spreadsheet. You’re here to question everything: What is money? What is truth? Why does everyone pretend they’re not obsessed with food and power? You feel the hunger in your bones—and that’s not a flaw. That’s your compass.
Now, if you want to lean into this Rahuvian energy like it’s a role in a play written just for you, here’s the ritual:
- On a Thursday evening and even better, do it everyday without fail (because even chaos needs a schedule), sit in silence, light a single ghee lamp, and chant:
Om Ram Rahave Namah – 108 times.
Not 107. Not 109. Precision unlocks the portal. - Then, if you’re ready to level up: red hessonite (gomed) is your stone. Wear it on your middle finger, set in silver, because Rahu loves bold statements and doesn’t care for subtlety. Get it energized—don’t just wear it like costume jewelry. This isn’t Claire’s, it’s cosmic armor.
- And if you really want to get Rahu on your side? Feed the crows. No seriously—those black-winged enigmas are his messengers. Throw them some rice or chapati crumbs. Watch what happens. You’re not bribing them, you’re speaking Rahu’s language: rebellion through offering.
Until then, keep shaking things up, my fellow Rahuvians!
