I thought I'd share some of the good and bad parts of Rahu-Moon (similar to Ernst's style) based on my experiences based on some other posts.
Ra-Mo conjunctions
The good :
1. Extremely high imaginative capacity
2. Ability to dream what you want, until you fall asleep. So if you're thinking positive things it gets reinforced
3. High rejuvenation capacity from deep sleep
4. Extreme positive tendencies - An unshakable belief that any physical, mental and emotional issue can be healed no matter what.
5. Really high concentration capacity - to the extent of accomplishing things in half the time if the heart is into it.
6. Easy to understand AI, actually AI feels natural! : One of the things I want to do when life permits is to make an AI program (or even a usable POC) that works with Lajjitadi avasthas, with Ernst's permission of course to use ideas from PAC course AND older courses.
The bad :
1. Very easy to get influenced by others. A good influences pushes you to unimaginable heights, a bad one drags you down as well remarkably. This is something I'm recently starting to understand and working on healing it.
2. No idea about how things work with regards to the house the Moon rules. Gets you in a lot of trouble with that house, until Rahu's lord's maturation, when you start understanding.
The ugly :
1. There's experience that happens within the 1st two-three years that affects you deeply, and causes you fear to feel before you're ready for it. My mother was taking care of two houses, managing with a few coins saved at the end of the month after basic needs were met. That would have made her feel exhausted. And the eldest in the house at the time mocks her based on color, you are so dark, how can your child be so fair!
The baby observes mother, decides it's not worth it to feel anymore, until later in life, Rahu transits the 4th AND brings it back for you to heal it.
This transit is very tough for Ra/Mo, but has a beautiful lesson towards the end where I could fully experience how much mother loves the child, AND removes the that fear of feeling as is!, and opens up to emotional health 🙂
I´m surprised that you say it gives good sleep. My wife has it - it´s in her Lagna - and she suffers from insomnia.
She´s a medium though, that´s possibility that you should put on the list of positive traits I believe. Also the capacity for leaving the body. Astral journeys.
She also had an emotionally tough upbringing with a father being "el comendante" of the border control of two Mexican states; too many children in a too short time perhaps (she and her siblings), domestic violence and a lot of chaotic, threatening situations surrounding the household.

Astral journeys kind of need a lot of work and can be scary for the untrained. Its more dangerous to get caught up in astral journeys without training. If someone is trained in it and has put in the work, then for sure yes!
Ahh, not sure about medium.
My sister also has Ra with Mo in lagna, I haven't seen anyone else sleep as sound as her on a consistent basis. I think it's the Sun for her, she has it conjunct Mars in the 10th, and just so focused on doing what she needs to be doing the whole day. The fact that it's in Libra doesn't even seem to matter. It makes her use her energy the whole day and makes it easier to sleep.
@jam1 Again, I´m surprised, but it´s good to know so I don´t make any false prediction about that. I´m referring to yours and your sister´s sleeping habits. 🙂
About astral journeys: My wife has done it since a child, and her father had the same talent so he took it very naturally and never scared her. Then she tried to get away from all her psychic abilities and live a normal life for a long time, and the first astral journey for a long time she made when I happened to be present, clueless of what was going on. I say her lying there, eyes open, I think she might be dead. After a while someone showed up and presented themselves with a different name... Well, after a couple of times I got used to it. 😀
There is another thread on the forum, quite recent, about Ra/Mo and mediality that might interest you. In case you haven´t seen it.

At the moment doing a reading to a person with Rahu-Moon. It's in Cancer. It's an artist with an esoteric vision, in short.
Interestingly, she is for quite a long time (years) working with stones. It makes me think that connecting to Earth is something good, something grounding for a Rahu-Moon.
So, I wonder if it's so for all Rahu-Moons, or if it's just in this case, with a water Moon and a Virgo Lagna with Mercury in it?
Any thoughts or experiences on it?
One of my favorite books is called Daughter of Fire by Irina Tweedie, her diary of spiritual training with a Sufi Master in India.
She had Rahu-Moon-Jupiter in Cancer; she was certainly interested in esoteric things. She also had Mars and Ketu in Capricorn. So I think that supports the basic idea that the connecting to the Earth can be helpful/grounding for such people. She also had exalted Venus and exalted Sun (!!!) and she took much joy and pleasure in nature and natural beauty. I'm attaching her chart and birth information.
@j0sh4rp3 thank you very much. Extreme powerful raj yogas Irina Tweedie has. Moon, Jupiter, Rahu, Ketu, Mars all connected in 4-10.
And Kalasarpa yogas as well. (I guess Mars counts in, even though by degrees it's out)
I'll look for this book.
Thanks 🙂
Yeah definitely, connecting to Earth is always good.
The head with all its intellect and having too many ideas is sometimes not connected with the heart. Anything that balances it is going to be great. Main issue I have experienced is either feeling way too much or not feeling anything in the moment and then realize much later what the feeling was.
I have not necessarily worked with stones but directly connecting to Earth has been effective.15-20 minutes of walking on bear-foot on grass or sitting bear-foot on grass for a longer time ahs helped.
Most effective and fastest acting though is a good 10 minute meditation.
