Rahu Mahadasha (2011 - 2029)

I’m not at all into astrology, and I’ve never been to an astrologer to get predictions about my life. But recently, I found myself taking notes on what an astrologer said about me and my life based on my Kundli.

Did I go to the astrologer myself? No—I hadn’t even thought about meeting one for a long time. Krish and I had been thinking of going to an astrologer just for fun, but I hadn’t really had it in mind for months. So, what happened was: one of my relatives, whom I didn’t know before (but my mother did), found out that I do commission portraits. She sent some pictures to my mother, and I made the drawings. She had also shown interest in meeting me, so my mother and I went to her house.

Apparently, a relative of hers who was staying there happened to be an astrologer—and my mother already knew about him. So she introduced me to him. He seemed like a well-educated guy—he had done his master’s and was living in Australia. He was in Nepal for medical treatment. He brought out his iPad and asked for my date, time, and place of birth. He was using an app to read my Kundli.

Now comes the main part: the predictions.

The first and most significant thing he said was that I’ve been under a ‘Rahu mahadasha’ since 2011, and it’ll last until 2029—which, astrologically speaking, is obviously a bad thing. He said this has been blocking success in my life. Well, now I have something to blame if things don’t go well, haha. He also added that this Rahu Mahadasha has made it hard for me to make decisions—which, if I think about it, is kind of true. But then again, the situations where I’ve found decision-making difficult are probably situations where anyone would struggle.

He did some character analysis too, saying I’m someone who questions things before believing them. According to him (or my Kundli), I’m intelligent as well. But these things sound pretty general, right?

He also mentioned that there's very little chance I’ll go abroad before 2029, and if I do, things won’t go as planned. When I do eventually go, I apparently won’t return. He said I’ll marry someone I fall in love with abroad, and only after the age of 28.

He also said I wouldn’t have a very good relationship with my brother—which, honestly, has been true so far.

Apart from that, he suggested a few things: never make decisions entirely on my own, don’t wear dark-colored clothes, don’t eat non-veg on Saturdays, and wear an “8-mukhe rudrakshya.” He also mentioned I might have a career in creative fields.

Also, Shani graha is currently active for me, but that’ll end in November 2025.

Throughout all this, I didn’t really have any reaction—I was just taking notes to analyze later if anything was interesting. But honestly, I don’t find any of it that interesting, nor do I think I should care. I’ll just wear that “8-mukhe rudrakshya” for my mother’s peace of mind. Other than that, I’m just going to do what I want and write my own future, I guess.
