For Consultations, please apply for your choice of consultation here - https://www.astrosaxena.in/services/.

Let’s look at important things here –

Rahu - It represents Illusion, Foreign Lands, Foreign Things (foreign as in unknown things. So, for someone living in Punjab, culture and rituals of Kerala is also unknown and hence Foreign), Drugs, Medicines, any type of intoxication, Fame, Wealth, Success, Obsession, Past-life incomplete Desires, Movies, Television, Online World, Cheating, Imagined Fears, Unusual Things, Unique Things, Creativity, Rule breaker. Rahu also blows things out of proportions.

Uttara Bhadrapada Nakshatra - It is a nakshatra related with next stage of Purva Bhadrapada. Hence, it is nakshatra of the actual event of liberation or enlightenment. It also represents all type of mystical subjects, practices and experiments. Please check this link for more info on Uttara Bhadrapada Nakshatra - https://www.astrosaxena.com/ubnaksha.

Pisces - As Uttara Bhadrapada is a part of Pisces sign, Pisces and things represented by Pisces are also important here. As Pisces is the 12th sign of zodiac belt, it represents the same energy and things which are represented by 12th house such as Isolated Places, Spirituality, Imagination, Other Dimension or Other World etc. Besides these things, it also represents your Hidden Talents, Ability to work in background, Spiritual Self etc. Pisces is consisted of last 2 and half nakshatra, i.e. Purva-Bhadrapada, Uttara-Bhadrapada & Revati. Pisces' lord is Jupiter.

Saturn - As Saturn rules Uttara Bhadrapada Nakshatra, its position and dignity is important to know about the overall functioning of any planet in Uttara Bhadrapada.

Jupiter - As Jupiter rules Pisces, its position and dignity is important to know about the overall functioning of any planet in Pisces.

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 Uttara Bhadrapada Nakshatra – Now, Rahu is in Jupiter’s sign and in Saturn's nakshatra. As Uttara Bhadrapada Nakshatra is closely connected with higher level of spiritual & mystical experience and Rahu is all about obsessively following something, Rahu here can show a person who is blindly following spirituality and other mystical pursuits. They are just obsessed to go beyond spirituality and know the real truth. So, it is not a person who is doing meditation when he gets some time during the day but it is a person whose only job in the day can be doing meditation. This position can also make person to serve others in spiritual or mystical field. They can easily be devoted to the spiritual path and can serve others. As they give most of their time in spiritual or mystical pursuits and actions, they can develop some mystical powers. They can have higher mystical experiences like out of body, kundalini/chakra activation and ultimate experience of liberation/enlightenment and then they can serve and guide others on the same path.  

Now, you can't have everything in life. If you are on spiritual path then your materialistic life can suffer or it can be the other way around too that person's materialistic life didn't give him any happiness or satisfaction, hence he moved towards spirituality. As Rahu is in harsh Saturn’s nakshatra which is represented by death-bed or Funeral Pyre, it shows not-so-good results in family life or in materialistic pursuits. Other representation of coiled-snake also doesn't bring much hope to the person's materialistic pursuits. Coiled-Snake representation again links this nakshatra with kundalini energy.  

Role of Saturn - Saturn's placement is important to guide Rahu in right direction, being Uttara Bhadrapada lord.

Role of Jupiter – Jupiter’s placement is important to guide Rahu in right direction, being Pisces’ lord.

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 Uttara Bhadrapada. 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 Uttara Bhadrapada can work in a chart.

 Hope this helps. Thanks,
