Rahu and Number 4
Rahu is the ruling planet of people born on day 4, 13, 22, or 31 of any month,
or whose destiny or name number adds up to 4. The qualities of Rahu
described below are most clearly visible in people who have 4 as a psychic

Rahu and Ketu, the two nodes of the Moon, reflect the basic bipolar nature
of man. They do not exist as material entities like the other seven planets.
They each represent a point where the plane of the Moon’s orbit around our
planet intersects with the plane of the ecliptic of the zodiac constellations.
These nodes are important to astrologers, astronomers, and numerologists
because they belong to the Moon, whose influence on human emotions is
universally accepted. It is only at the nodes that the path of the Moon
intersects the path of other planets. These nodal points are not fixed points in
outerspace, but are more “backwards” that is, they are always retrograde and
never direct. Because in ancient times, with the help of these nodes, exact
dates of the solar and lunar eclipse could be determined by astrologers and
astronomers, the nodes became very significant and were each given the
status of “half-planet.” Also, as they are not real entities, their influence
varies with their location in every native’s chart. Since their influence creates
a wide range of emotional behavior, knowledge of them becomes necessary.

works mainly on the mental level. It is supposed to be a malefic planet—
dynamic in nature, low in vibration, hedonistic, and eternally dissatisfied. It
makes its natives lazy and lethargic, dull, illogical, and pleasure-seeking.
They become revolutionaries, conspirators, spies, and detectives. Rahu brings
