Rahu is exalted in Taurus as well as in Virgo. For the sake of this discussion, we’ll consider both these placements of Rahu. Exalted Rahu is benefic in the ninth house in some cases whereas it turns malefic in some cases. The influences of other benefic and malefic planets on Rahu and the overall theme of horoscope are important criteria when it comes to decide the functional nature of Rahu in a horoscope.
As the number and strength of benefic or malefic planets influencing Rahu in a horoscope increases, Rahu may become more benefic or malefic.

Benefic exalted Saturn is placed in the tenth house in Libra, Sun is placed in the first house in Capricorn, Mercury is placed in the second house in Aquarius and Jupiter is placed in the eighth house in Leo.

The native may simply be at the wrong places at wrong times.
The native may also face losses through stock markets, again due to bad luck. He may go for mountain tracking, he may get separated from the rest of the team, he may get lost and he may suffer for many days before a rescue team may find him. He may come across a boat or ship crash, he may get deserted on an island and he may have to spend a lot of time before rescue teams find him.
