In this blog we will discuss the impact of Rahu and Saturn in 1st house of birth chart on different aspect of life.

Continuing further from the prologue blog to Saturn Rahu conjunction, we now consider that you are aware of the basic characteristics of both planets if that is not the case we suggest you go and do a quick read of the prologue to this yuti (conjunction) published/posted earlier.

Now in this blog, we will discuss the impact of Shani-Rahu yuti in the first house, also known as the horoscope's ascendant. How will this yuti (conjunction) affect health, married life, home/happiness and unexpected incidents in life with their positive or negative flavours and the best remedies?

What is the first house of the birth chart?

The 1st house is also known as the ascendant or the body of the person. This gives the very basic information about the build, body type and immunity of a person. In case the horoscope is for an item then it is about the overall idea of the item (could be a country, vehicle etc.). This is the house of the overall body and faces type, and the complexion of the person as well.

What is the Rahu and Saturn conjunction in Astrology?

A major part of this has been mentioned in the last blog.

Rahu and Saturn conjunction is in 1st house of the birth chart General characteristics:

Presence of Rahu and Saturn in the first house creates disturbances in mind. When such person run after money or run for fulfilling the materialistic world's requirement he faces huge mental stress.
Such person faces huge ups-down in life due to which in later half of life it makes the person emotionless and try to keep himself away from society or even family.

Saturn is considered to be debilitated in the 1st house of the horoscope still it doesn’t give all results as bad. On the contrary, it is said that Rahu feels very happy in the 1st house as it is the exaltation house of its enemy Sun, who identified the Swarbhanu sitting amongst the Gods disguised as one of them for the Nectar/elixir of immortality from the Lord Vishnu in the form of Mohini and caused this demon to be cut into two forming the Rahu and Ketu.
Now, once these two enter the same house i.e. 1st house they will be at some distance from each other. Here the results would vary depending on the distance between them.

For example: When both are almost 30 degrees apart then their energies do not combine much and the results could be weak, still, here one should also look at the Nakshatra Nav Tara table and see if the two are into the category of Atimitra or mitra or otherwise. If they are coming under the influence of the prior said category they become two good friends and if Saturn is benefic for this ascendant then it would make the person very sharp-minded as well even though Saturn represents slowness.
Thus, in a manner, this saves the house as well. At the same time if Saturn is malefic for the ascendant then the negative qualities will also tend to prevail.

Such individuals are more culpable to get affected by the negative energies of this universe and individuals could always remain in tension as well because there is a tug-of-war happening between the constricting energy of Saturn and the explosive energy of Rahu. The person with this conjunction could have many enemies or could face many enemies in his lifetime and under unfavourable dasha they could come in an explosive manner be it the diseases or the enemies or loan.
This conjunction should be watched very carefully, especially if one undergoes the dasha, Antardasha or pratyantar dasha of Shani in Rahu or Rahu in Shani.

Rahu and Saturn conjunction is in 1st House of birth chart and career:

Present of Rahu and Saturn in the first house may create hallucination in mind. Such person faces difficulties in taking decisions related to career,his / her focus will be diverted due to which he/she faces instability in career. Such person always faces a sense of fear related to his / her job or business. Because this conjunction gives some shrewdness to a person, the individual would be smart and because of the fact that Saturn is also placed here could be slow but very tenacious. One might be good in any career; especially where smart working is also required. Now for that to happen we will have to see the zodiac sign this is happening and also the dignity of the Mercury and Mars as well because Mars is the original owner of this house and Mercury is the kaarak(factor) for buddhi/mind/brain.

This individual would be very hard working as well because the natural owner of the 10th house is now sitting in the ascendant i.e. 1st house. Since it is sitting with the cunning Rahu this person will go to any level to achieve the results and won’t mind bending a few rules. This would be so if there are no benefic aspects on the 1st house or the 1st house lord.

Rahu and Saturn conjunction is in the 1st house of birth chart and Marriage /Married life:

Since two functional malefic are in the ascendant itself and they give the 7th aspect to the 7th house of affairs/partnerships and marriages the individual would not be so much interested in the aspect of marriage.

The person could get married if the other planets which contribute to the said result are good strong and have a good aspect over the ascendant or the 7th house. This individual would get married to someone who still has some connection from their past lives as the 7th house would have Ketu and Ketu relates with the past lives very much.

These individuals could marry at times also for the sake of their families or to raise a family if there is a good aspect of Jupiter on the 5th house so the individual gets blessed with kids as well and takes their responsibility to raise them well.

Rahu and Saturn conjunction is in 1st house of birth chart and Health:

Since the kaarak of the 6th house and the kaarak of diseases, Saturn is in the 1st house of the horoscope the person surely gets some health issues which could be amplified by the positioning of Rahu as well there. If the Mars and mercury are also afflicted very badly one could have low intelligence and issues and ailments related to the head like migraines etc. Since Saturn has its 7th aspect on the 7th house in old age the person could suffer from leg-related issues like weak knees or uric acid increase. This could get amplified by the eating habits as well which again in turn is affected by the placement of Rahu in the 1st house and which promotes the person to eat unhealthy foreign foods or foods that are high in fat and proteins like meat, red meat, alcohol etc.
Such person could also get liver-related issues due to the drinking habits.
