Rahu, the north node, is equated with Saturn the great malefic by Vedic Astrologers. A strong Rahu gives the individual worldly powers and success. In the spiritual realm, Rahu can give psychic powers, but also there may be danger from drugs, and danger from black magic. On the positive side, the influence of Rahu can put us in harmony with collective trends and give popularity, prestige, fame and power.
"Om Dhum Ram Rahave Namah"
The following mantras are also considered very good for Rahu. You may opt to recite one of the following mantra if you find it comparatively easy to remember.
"Om bhraam bhreem bhraum sah rahave namah"
"Om raam rahve namah"
The mantras are chanted on japa beads of 108 beads per string. They are similar to rosaries.
The Rahu's mantra may be recited for 18,000 times within 40 days during night and puja performed with blue flowers and sandal wood. Begin recitation on a Saturday during the bright half of the Moon.
Gayatri Mantra for Rahu:
"Om Sookdantaya vidmahe, Ugraroopaya dhimahi, tanno Rahu Prachodayat"
This Gayatri mantra consists of three parts. The first is the chants to the Rahu. The second is the mantra proper. The third is a summary of the mantra's energies.
The Gayatri mantra is chanted at sunrise, noon and sunset. At dawn it is called Gayatri, the youthful form of the Goddess, consort of Lord Brahma, the creator. It is called Savitri, the mature form, at noon, the consort of Lord Shiva. It is called Sarasvati, the elderly form, at sunset, the consort of Lord Vishnu.
You may also opt to chant following Puranic mantra for propiating the Rahu (18,000 times).
