[SA: As a rule we publish articles from young students to very experienced astrologers and do not reject any article sent by anyone irrespective of his age in astrology, but often we hide the number of years a person has been studying astrology since some readers ignore articles of young ones. Yet in this article we have not done so, since this young lover of astrology has touched upon one of the best kept secrets in astrology for the first time in print, though it has not been explicitly explained in this article, hats off to him. Read between the lines and ponder more on it and may he be blessed to bring out the rarest of gems of astrology without ego touching his soul.]

By divine grace, I got an observation ,which is a corollary  of Shri K.N.Rao’s finding  related to Rahu in 3^rd house.

Rahu, astronomically, a sensitive point in the zodiac and it was perfectly used by the rishis for the astrological predictions. It is considered by eminent astrologers that  Rahu and Kethu are playing a  predominant role in  assessing our poorva karmas. This article connects Rahu and 3^rd house in the birth chart.

We know third house deals with siblings, specifically younger co-born, courage, relatives, throat, ears, short journeys, father’s death as it is 7^th from 9^th house etc.,

This article is related to ‘siblings’ in relation with Rahu among the other significations of 3^rd house.

Shri K.N.Rao, in his book “Karma & Rebirth in Hindu Astrology”, Page No 33, says

 “The 3^rd house is the house of younger siblings and the 11^th of elder ones. Rahu in those houses alone makes one either the youngest or the eldest of the children of parents or the eldest or the youngest in that sex. Rahu the cause of eclipses performs the same act of eclipsing the siblings here”.

The above observation has been reemphasised in a separate chapter named as “Rahu in 3^rd house-a group research” with examples in the book “Finer Techniques Of Astrological Predictions –Vol-2” under Shri K.N.Rao’s guidance. According to his theory Rahu should be alone in 3^rd house to get the above result.

Now, here, I am presenting my observation of Rahu in 3^rd house. Actually I have analysed the presence of Rahu in 3^rd house, not from the lagna, but from the houses of our close relatives, that is,

Observation No: 1

– Rahu alone in 3rd house from the house of mother (4^th house -3^rd house to 4^th house of mother is 6^th house, siblings of mother), and

Observation No: 2

– From the house of father (9^th house-3^rd house to 9^th house of father is 11^th house, siblings of father) and

Observation No: 3

– From the house of marriage partner (7^th house – 3^rd house to 7^th house of marriage partner is 9^th house, siblings of marriage partner).

I think, now readers are able to catch, what I am intending to say.

I will elaborate my observation with example, one by one, below.

Observation No: 1 & Charts

The core idea behind this observation is totally based upon the concept of Shri K.N.RAO. Every positive credit of this observation will be of him. I have checked these observations in minimum number of charts and it is working well in them.I request the readers to analyse these on more charts before accepting the observation presented here.
