As per Lal Kitab, Goddess Saraswati rules Rahu.
If Rahu is malefic in the chart, native should never live in south facing house as it may cause financial losses. But if fourth house or Moon are well fortified, Rahu does not give malefic results. As a remedy, native should use silver.
Rahu will not be able to give malefic results when
~Mars is placed in 12th or 3rd house.
~Sun + Mercury are placed in third house.
~Rahu itself is placed in 4th house.
Rahu rules the blue sky and blue sea.
When Rahu is benefic in the chart i.e. When Rahu is placed in 3/6 houses, he gives highly benefic results and native wins in all difficult conditions. When benefic Mars and Saturn are together, Rahu gives very good results especially when 4th house or Moon is well fortified.
When Rahu is placed in houses after Saturn in a horoscope, it works under Saturn. But When Rahu is placed before Saturn, Saturn works under Rahu. Rahu eclipse sun but Rahu + Moon combination is not considered as eclipse in Lal Kitab. Rahu itself will give better results but it will diminish good effects of Moon. Rahu is friendly to Saturn and Mercury henceforth it will support them. But Rahu gives affliction to Jupiter and it may result into diseases like Asthama, T.B. etc.
The ill affects of Rahu will be experienced till the age of 42 years. Native will prosper after the age of 42 years. Rahu generally gives bad results when Sun and Venus are together or Sun and Saturn are together and malefic. Mars also give bad results when malefic Sun and Saturn are together.
When Ketu is placed in first half of the horoscope, Rahu will give malefic results and Ketu will not be able to give any results.
When Rahu is in association with its inimical planets like Sun, Venus or Mars; native will face its malefic result on progeny and other things related to Ketu.
When Rahu is mlaefic in the chart and native suffers from acute fever, enemies and continuous problems in life, following remedies will help the native:-
1) When native has lost mental peace, one should use silver.
2) Donate Red Masoor Dal (Lentil) to sweeper in the morning or donate some Rupee coins to a sweeper.

When Venus is placed in 7th house, native will be wealthy but the health of wife will suffer.
When Mars is placed in 12th house, Rahu will not be able to give any results.
