Rahu in the 12th = Desire leaks money into distractions.

Rahu in the 12th house makes money feel like mist. It doesn’t vanish loudly. It slips away quietly, into places you barely notice. The 12th house is escape, solitude, hidden habits. Rahu is hunger that never rests. Together, they create spending that feels less like choice and more like drifting.

With this placement, the bank balance dips softly. Not from one big splurge, but from small disappearances. Late-night scrolling. Online orders. Subscriptions. Entertainment. Little comforts that blur the edges of the day. It isn’t always luxury. Often, it’s distraction.

There is a longing here. A sense that peace lives somewhere else. Just out of reach. So money becomes a way to chase it. Experiences, indulgences, private pleasures that promise relief for a moment. But Rahu is rarely satisfied, and the 12th house dissolves satisfaction quickly.

Hidden expenses are common. Charges you forget. Spending you don’t track. Habits that stay in the background like a quiet fog. Budgeting feels like waking up too suddenly. Spending feels easier, like slipping back into the dream.

Emotional spending rises when loneliness appears. When anxiety hums under the surface. The purchase becomes an escape hatch. A soft way out. But the bank balance keeps its own memory, even when you try not to look.

At its best, Rahu in the 12th can seek healing. Spiritual growth. Retreat. Generosity. But without awareness, desire becomes leakage. The question always returns: are you spending, or are you escaping?

This placement asks for gentle honesty. To notice what you reach for when you feel empty. To bring light to the hidden corners. Rahu may never stop wanting, but it can learn direction.

In the end, distractions are expensive. The dip in bank balance is not only financial. It is emotional too. A reflection of where desire goes when it has nowhere else to land.
