Rahu in 5th House.

So, lets see what Rahu can do in 5th house without any conjunction or aspect from any other planet. 1st lets see what these 2 things represent - 

Rahu represents illusion, foreign lands, foreign things (foreign as in unknown things. So, for someone living in Punjab, culture and rituals of Kerala is also unknown and hence Foreign), Drugs, Medicines, any type of intoxication, fame, wealth, success, obsession, past-life left-over karma, movies, television, online world, cheating, imagined fears, unusual things, unique things, creativity, rule breaker. Rahu also blows things out of proportions. 

5th house represents Creativity, Romance, Happiness, Hobbies, Children, Innovation, Sports, Movies, Stock Trading, Gambling and Betting, Risk Taking Ability, Education, Ancient Texts etc.

Aspect-wise, in Vedic Astrology, Rahu has 5th and 9th house aspect. He is unable to impact 7th house from its place as Ketu is sitting there, which is the other axis of Rahu and represents all those things which are non-Rahu.

So, when Rahu comes in 5th house, this is 1st of the position where Rahu can make someone celebrity. As 5th house is house of Media, Cinema, Sports and Creativity and Rahu only knows exploding things out of proportion, this position gives unimaginable fame to someone in these fields. This position makes someone highly creative in whatever field they are. It won't be wrong to say that they love lime-light around them. They love to have many kids and if they don't have, then they adopt anyone else's kid. This position also gives huge interest in reading ancient texts and studies. It can also make someone a stock-broker. As 5th house also relates to Romance and Love-life and Rahu explodes everything, here Rahu gives the person lots of love affairs. 

From 5th house, Rahu aspects the 9th house of religion and philosophy etc. And it shows the need to learn about different philosophies, culture and religions of the world. 

Rahu's next aspect goes to 1st house/Ascendant and that illusion of Rahu takes over life. It shows the need to realize self and true life path.
