Rahu indicates out-of-the-box thinking. He is a challenger of conventional thinking. He spurs new thought process. He is a rebel.

So, when Jupiter and Rahu come together, what will happen? Will thinking get aberrated? Will it be bad for the world? Will there be wars and destruction of property? Will there be revolts and revolution? Jupiter and Rahu conjunction is commonly referred to as Guru Chandala Yoga (GCY). Jupiter is referred to as Guru or teacher and Rahu is referred to as Chandala or crude or primitive person.
