and that includes Jupiter. Any planet, be it moon or sun or venus, when it comes in contact with rahu not only loses its power, but starts acting like rahu. The power of sun is obscured by rahu, no other planet is capable of this. Powerful placement of rahu gives the native wealth, fame, and pretty much everything else.

No other planet is capable of bestowing everything at once. In Jupiter's case, it's spiritual knowledge, whereas venus gives beauty, and so on. All planets are restricted to a certain area. But rahu gives the results of all planets. Even good yogas produce poor results if there are afflictions. Many yogas don't even materialize.

So it's obvious that rahu's placement is the most crucial factor in a horoscope.

you r right... i ve all my hopes on rahu....

How's Rahu's placement in Capricorn?

Saturn is considered the most powerful and dangerous planet in the ancient Indian system of Vedic astrology, as Saturn personifies time, limitations, loss, sorrow, and all forms of adversity. Everyone is under Saturn's control as he controls life destiny - if Saturn is happy good fortune will appear in one's life, if angry he can destroy everything.

Many astrologers feel that Saturn is to be given the highest of respect and worship, as it is his grace and divine duty to bestow upon us the teachings, that, left to our own devise, we would all to gladly avoid.

Vedic Astrologers refer to Saturn as the most powerful and the most dangerous of the nine Grahas (planets).  Throughout the centuries Indian Astrologers have come to respect and trust the mythology passed down to them portraying Saturn as the great master who controls  the duration of time, and the cycles of death and rebirth, which every individual is destined to endure. Saturn’s release of karmic forces is often followed by immense suffering, which results in a balancing of the karmic scales.  In the end, one is free to proceed on his or her evolutionary journey.  Consequently, astrologers of the Vedas associate Saturn as the divine teacher whose primary mission is to return the evolving soul back to its source.

My vote goes to Saturn the great. He is the most feared, not only is he the dispenser of 'Karmic Justice' but also seasons you into a matured man.When as a yoga karaka he gives the riches, it stays! Though Rahu's nature is as that of  Saturn, there is no peer to him. Call no man "complete" until he is visited by Sade sathi saturn!
