According to Vedic astrology, Rahu is debilitated in a horoscope when it is placed in the sign of Scorpio, which in simple words means that Rahu becomes the weakest when placed in Scorpio compared to its placement in all the other signs. Debilitated Rahu is associated with many bad things by many astrologers and it is believed by a number of astrologers that debilitated Rahu always works negatively in a horoscope and it brings bad results for the native under its influence. This is not the case in actual practice and debilitated Rahu can work positively as well as negatively in a horoscope depending on the other deciding factors and depending on the overall tone of the horoscope of a native under consideration.
