Following on your rahu posts. I have rahu in 5th house and ketu in 11th in d1 and d9. I love creating things, and I daydreamed about succeeding in lots of creative fields, but I would do a little bit and never followed through. I've ended up writing about philosophy instead, mostly about ethics in war and ethics in AI. It's still creative, but it's more fulfilling to me because I feel like I'm contributing something into society. The younger part of my life was more focused on succeeding in life like going to a good school or having a prestigious job, and material success. Now, I'm just happy in my little home with my writings and books.
I think I read somewhere that rahu is like the teacher giving trick questions to test you. I don't really know about anyone else, but that definitely applied to me. My younger half was very much chaotic. Constantly started and stopped my education, would go from one career choice to another.
lmao the trick question part is SO true; like i have a rahu in eighth house and im constantly struggling with 'am i being paranoid or is my intuition correct'. this part is kinda difficult to say lmao but i also struggle to indulge my sexual desires or enjoy sex freely and always avoid it with the mentality of, 'no, my culture, my mother, my values don't allow this' so there's this pull towards rahu but then i'm falling back on my ketu to save myself from that curiosity.
ofc tho, ketu will never allow you to hide behind itself for long since it's not what you're on earth for, but you're not meant to indulge your rahu either. it's like not staying stuck in what you were shaped by, but not allowing curiosity, lust or greed to carry you away too far, that 'too far' is what rahu aims to achieve.
it's like rahu will play with your mind where it sits, always pushing you to feed it's own hunger through yourself.
and yeah, your example makes great sense too!! the fifth house of creativity holding rahu could make you feel like studying a lot of things or indulging in creative pursuits but then, i think, you might hold yourself back (if you do) by 'yeah this is not beneficial enough, or not what people around me would do' etc etc
tbh i'm glad you're doing what you love in life!! it's very difficult to get to that point, so i hope success, peace and money follow your footsteps!!
