we succeed or fail through the agency of that house.
Just to clarify, by "that house" do you mean Rahu's house or the house Rahu's lord is in?
Also what does succeeding or failing through the agency mean?
Thank you for your time and patience,
S.
It's difficult when Rahu's lord has very low-digbala. Even when delighted.
If you want to go to Dinseyland, you have to get in a car, or put shoes on before you will get to Disneyland. You can't just say, I am going to jump right to Disneyland. Same with rahu. You just cant jump to the sign, the consciousness will not have any relevancy towards it without engaging in that house.
We should do it as soon as we are able, it's just hard, so yes, do it boldy, do it quickly, do it as soon as you can! but if it's not soon enough... as it often is, you just have to wait and try again.
Rahu isnt the end game of it all by any means. We have our first lord, as well as the sun and jupiter and 2nd house, which are all indicative of where we are going and how we are going. For me, those tend to be more important in the end, whilst rahu in say capricorn in my case isnt always manifest. It could also be that the necessary conditions and platform for that to be so isnt manifest either, to that end you might seriously look into astrocartography.
