Opportunities
Rahu in Virgo favours: action expressed in the Virgo style. Native areas — Obsession, desire, ambition, foreign, unconventional path — find a fresh approach shaped by Virgo's strengths: Analytical, Reliable, Hardworking, Modest, Detail-oriented.
Watch-outs
Watch the shadow: Rahu in Virgo can amplify Virgo's downsides — Critical, Worry-prone, Perfectionist, Self-deprecating — applied to Obsession, desire, ambition, foreign, unconventional path. The discipline is to use the energy without indulging the reflex.
