Rahu says: binge hobby, drop hobby

Curiosity strikes like lightning. With Rahu in the 5th house, your passions begin with fire—fast, vivid, all-consuming. A new hobby appears, and suddenly it’s everything. You dive in with urgency, heart racing, mind buzzing. It feels like discovery, like you’ve finally found what you were missing. But Rahu doesn’t linger. What felt essential last week may seem irrelevant today.

You collect fascinations like scattered stars. One moment it’s painting, the next it’s coding, then maybe foreign films, esoteric philosophy, handmade instruments. There’s excitement in the new, in the unknown. But often, the spark fades. What once consumed your time and attention now gathers dust. You move on quickly, chasing the next thrill. The pattern repeats: intensity, then indifference.

There’s a hunger beneath it all. A drive not just to enjoy, but to define yourself through these interests. You want something more than pastime—you want purpose, identity, meaning. Yet Rahu clouds the view. What you’re chasing often shifts once you grasp it. The satisfaction never lasts quite long enough.

This pattern can be thrilling and exhausting. You may look back at a trail of half-finished projects, abandoned instruments, or supplies bought in a rush of inspiration. And yet, it’s not failure—it’s restlessness. A deep desire for something that sticks, something that truly resonates.

If you can recognize the cycle, you might learn to pause. To explore without diving headfirst. To stay with something after the shine wears off. That doesn’t mean giving up the thrill—it means pacing it. Finding joy not just in discovery, but in development.

Rahu’s gift lies in exploring the edges. You’re meant to experiment, to flirt with the unfamiliar. But lasting joy may come when you resist the urge to leap, and instead, choose to stay. Even when the excitement fades.
