Rahu Moon conjunction in 3rd house of the birth chart General characteristics:

This conjunction will make the native have strength in their mental makeup but at the same can make the native moody. If the 3rd house lord is not strong then the ego can be false as well. Since the 3rd house is involved the native would be adventurous and brave. The 3rd house also relates to communication so the natives would be good conversationalists. Speaking lies would again come naturally because Rahu is involved so the control over words would be such that one would not be able to find the lies easily.
Even though the 3rd house shows the house of effort and courage but because of Moon’s involvement natives would prefer a leisurely life and might not like to work as much as a single Rahu native would work. Still, success would come after efforts in life.

As the 3rd house denotes the hobbies and inclination to learn something, natives will take up things with the flavour of Rahu like Smoking and drinking. Native can have a talent in the presentation of self as the 3rd house also relates to media so some interest in that field can also be seen. There would be something different with the younger siblings some disconnect with them.

3rd house is the 12th to the 4th house so the native might not have a good connection with the mother or the mother will suffer due to the native. Native’s mother can have some mental issues or something as simple as overthinking or negative thinking patterns.

The siblings shown by the 2nd house would have some negative impact and the relationship with siblings might not be very happy as the siblings would be hiding behind a different face for the native.
There can be some distance between the native and the father as Ketu is occupying the 9th house of religion and father. This lifetime native would be focused on the finer details of the media, communication, presentation, short trips, and doing adventurous things rather than thinking much over religion’s nuances.

Rahu is a deep desire and Moon is the emotion, also Rahu imitates or explodes the characteristics of the planets that it sits with or the sign that it is placed, this native will have a strong desire for short trips, media or event management like activities, adventurous sports, hobbies, learning and exploring anything foreign. Natives would love to partake in short travels and explore anything that is not native to them.
The adventurous attitude of the native will give a very high probability that the native gets into multiple partnerships and also in nearby places like the neighbourhood itself.

Generally, it is not so good but if it happens in the Cancer zodiac or the Taurus zodiac with other good combinations it can give the native good fame.

Rahu Moon conjunction in 3rd house of the birth chart and career:
The native will have a command over the written and presentation mode of communication most of the time so one could make a career in the fields of event management, media, fiction writing, social networking websites and freelance work through the internet very well.
Since the 3rd house is the 12th to the 4th house native might settle abroad after some time in profession and right transit and dasha.

Since Ketu is in the 9th in this case, one could also get into the religious line of work and do very well. The research could be in science and occult studies and any other subject as well. One could get into astrology research as well.

Since natives will know how to use words in their communication and presentation one could also become a local leader or a small-time false/guru as well if Jupiter is also placed well. However, if there are afflictions too, then such individual would also want to try new things or jobs as 3rd house’s natural owner is mercury and it is the most experimenting house.

The native will surely try their hands at many jobs before settling on a single final profession. The 3rd house explosion by Rahu will make life not easy for the natives as the house of luck is also not in a good position to give very good results since Ketu is bringing disinterest in the luck area and natives will believe in pure hard work even though their desire would be of a life of leisure.

Rahu can bring multiplicity in the 7th house affairs be it partnerships of personal or professional kinds. Married life will be a little difficult unless there is Jupiter’s impact on the 7th house or the 7th lord. Partners might have some foreign or out-of-social order.

Marriage will happen and this conjunction could hinder married life for the native. However, the interest of the native would be to be more involved in themselves and new hobbies, short travels etc. and not in the partner. The spouse might also be detached or living away from their father.
