Rahu gives prosperity when functions in a rajsic mode, Rahu gives knowledge and wisdom when functions in a satvic mode, Rahu gives inertia, inactivity, demonic tendencies and destruction when functions in tamsic mode.

This also corresponds to a saros , a period of approximately synodic months approximately Rahu rules the zodiac sign of Aquarius together with Shani. Astronomically, Rahu and Ketu denote the points of intersection of the paths of the Sun and the Moon as they move on the celestial sphere.
Therefore, Rahu and Ketu are respectively called the north and the south lunar nodes. The fact that eclipses occur when the Sun and the Moon are at one of these points gives rise to the understanding of swallowing of the Sun and the Moon by the snake. In the Candima Sutta and the Suriya Sutta, Rahu attacks Surya , the Sun deity and Chandra , the Moon deity before being compelled to release them by their recitation of a brief stanza conveying their reverence for the Buddha.
Rahu is found in the Puranic genre of mythology.

Mohini started distributing Amrit to the Devtaas. One Danav, Svarbhanu, sat in the row of devtaas and drank the Amrit. The Sun God and the Moon God noticed him and they informed Mohini; however, by that time Svarbhanu, had already became immortal. Vishnu as Mohini cut off his head with Sudarshan Chakra. Rahuketu could not die but his head was separated from his body , his head came to be known as Rahu and his body Ketu.
It may present itself as irrational fears and thereby encourage exploration of the subconscious mind which again can lead to major changes and evolution. Ketu is actually highly idealistic and is concerned with transformation and surrendering the ego to a higher power, which can eventually lead to enlightenment.

Rahu and Ketu |
Both are doing their work in your life by stirring up your ambitions and at the same time pulling you towards renunciation. Here lies the human dilemma and the nature of our internal struggle.
In further symbolism, Rahu represents the ego and the body and will encourage us to look for gratification, success and power in a particular area of life. In its quest to fulfil its ambitions it may even be manipulative and deceptive too and fool us into thinking that we are looking after others rather our own best interests.
It is said that politicians generally have a powerful Rahu!

Because Rahu is buried in our subconscious mind, it is hard for us to see the games it is playing in our lives. This is the reason why in the Vedic and Yoga tradition it is considered necessary to find a Guru to guide you on your quest to let go of the ego, as it can be very slippery and illusive.
Ketu on the other hand represents renunciation, liberation and ultimate freedom from worldly affairs. Ketu also represents the soul. When Rahu can turn its purpose away from material gratification and unify its purpose with Ketu, then we have the raising of the Kundalini. Rahu from the root chakra can rise to join with Ketu in the crown chakra and unification and enlightenment is possible.
