Mumbai: Rahu Kaal is considered an inauspicious period that occurs daily for about 90 minutes between sunrise and sunset. During this time, people are advised not to start any new or auspicious work. But a common question arises — what happens if a child is born during Rahu Kaal? Does it affect their personality and future?

According to astrology, the timing of birth plays an important role in shaping a person’s traits. Children born during Rahu Kaal are believed to carry certain unique characteristics, both positive and negative, depending on the position of Rahu in their birth chart. Let’s understand what the scriptures and astrologers say about such births.

Astrological belief suggests that children born during Rahu Kaal may face mental restlessness, tendencies toward conflict, unhealthy eating habits, and sometimes even addiction-like behaviour (such as excessive use of mobile phones or the internet).

The overall effect of Rahu Kaal depends on where Rahu is placed in the child’s horoscope. In some cases, it can bring challenges, while in others, it may turn into opportunities, offering strength or unique skills.

Astrologers say children born during Rahu Kaal or Rahu Mahadasha may display negative traits such as health issues, depression, confusion, and irresponsible behaviour.

Rahu Kaal births are sometimes linked to digestive problems, stress, and anxiety. Such children may also struggle with decision-making, leading to feelings of confusion or uncertainty.

Children born in Rahu Kaal might develop habits like overeating, fast food cravings, or avoiding routine. They can also show irritability and a tendency to break discipline in daily life.

Due to Rahu’s influence, these children may get involved in conflicts, disputes, or even legal troubles. Alongside this, restlessness and anger may make it difficult for them to maintain harmony in relationships.
