Moon, Mercury and Rahu in the 7th house at a glance
When Chandra + Budha + Rahu (Moon + Mercury + Rahu) share a sign, a yuti, the chart fuses Moon’s the mind, emotions and nurturing instinct, Mercury’s intellect, speech and commerce and Rahu’s obsession, worldly ambition and the pull of illusion, and here all of it works through the 7th house (Yuvati / Kalatra), the house of marriage, the spouse, partnerships and one-to-one relationships (Kendra (angular), Maraka; natural sign Libra).
