Why are we still so afraid of Rahu?

I’ve been sitting with a thought all morning.

We talk about Rahu like it’s this big, scary villain waiting to ruin our lives. Everyone panics when they see a transit hitting their 4th or 8th house. But honestly? I don’t think Rahu is the problem.

It’s our own attachment that creates the mess.

We crave comfort and predictable outcomes, but Rahu is basically a cosmic wrecking ball for our illusions. It forces us to grow up, even when we’re kicking and screaming for things to stay exactly the same.

I’ve spent hours looking at charts on Vyom lately, and I’m seeing patterns where people are actually thriving during these 'difficult' transits. They aren't avoiding the chaos. They’re just leaning into the shift instead of fighting the current.

It makes me wonder.

Are we actually scared of the planet, or are we just terrified of who we’ll become once our safety nets are pulled away?

I’d love to hear your take. Do you see Rahu as a curse, or are you starting to view it as the push you needed to finally move on?
