Aquarius - As Shatabhishak is part of Aquarius sign, Aquarius and things represented by Aquarius are also important here. Aquarius is 11th sign of zodiac belt, hence it signifies the things and energy related with 11th house of horoscope, such as Gains, Desires, Hopes and Wishes, Large Organisations, Network Circles etc. Besides this, Aquarius also represents Scientific Thinking & Research, Uplifting the Society, Higher Goals & Rewards for all. Aquarius is made of another set of 2 and half Nakshatra, i.e. Dhanishtha, Satabhisha and Purva-Bhadrapada. Aquarius Lord is Saturn & Rahu.

Saturn & Rahu - As Saturn rules Capricorn & Aquarius and Rahu co-rules Aquarius & also rules Shatabhishak, their position and dignity is important to know about the overall functioning of any planet in Shatabhisha/Aquarius.

Houses Involved – Also, we can’t afford to forget the houses involved as a planet can be ruling different houses and sitting in different house for every person as per ascendant and planet’s position. To know overall affect, we have to consider the houses involved as those areas of life are being impacted.

Interpretation of Rahu in Shatabhishak Nakshatra – Here, Rahu is in own sign and own nakshatra. So we can say, it is super-strong here. Common theme around Shatabhishak & Aquarius is service to others. Rahu represents our materialistic desires. So, these people can be involved in one or the other way of providing services to others. As Shatabhishak remains a nakshatra of healing, health care and medicines, most commonly they can be serving people with health-care related work. They can be healing people one way or the other. As Rahu represents unusual or unique ways, they can easily be healing people through alternate healing practices. It means that they can be interested in Reiki healing, Pranic healing etc. This is also middle portion of Aquarius which represents new-age technology. As Rahu also represents innovations, it shows that these people can serve people through technology, IT, Software, Apps etc. But as Rahu is in Saturn ruled sign, most of the results of this position may be realized with certain delays, hard work and perseverance.

As Rahu itself remains a malefic planet and it is in sign of Saturn, relationship benefit can be limited and can come after certain delay, hard work and perseverance. They may have to adjust a lot to make their relationship work. They can be eccentric or unorthodox in their relationship matters. They can go against social rules in relationship matters.

Role of Saturn & Rahu - Also, Saturn-Rahu placement is important to guide Rahu in right direction, being Aquarius & Shatabhishak lords.

Other Factors – And of course, we need to consider conjunction, aspects, house lordship, house position and dashas etc to know the exact results of Rahu in Shatabhishak. So, we always need to take a holistic view of chart rather than just 1 planetary position.

Conclusion – So, this is how I see Rahu in Shatabhishak can work in a chart.
