Rahu is exalted in Taurus as well as in Virgo. For the sake of this discussion, we’ll consider both these placements of Rahu.

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.

If Mars is placed in the sixth house in Aries with Venus, Jupiter is placed in the first house in Scorpio with Ketu, benefic Moon is placed in the fourth house in Aquarius and Saturn is placed in the eighth house in Gemini with Sun, the equation may become more troublesome. In this case, the native may witness two or three failed marriages, on account of serious problems in them. The native may lose his first wife to death and he may lose his second and/or third wife to divorce. After the second or third failed marriage, the native may choose to remain single, which may happen after his age of 40, unless the finer factors and running times suggest another marriage which may sustain.
