Basically the question is that 10th house Taurus rahu aspected by Jupiter should in no way be harmful to the person and ketu plus guru obviously will make person bit spiritual, one will have materialstic things but will not tend to enjoy them, One side Rahu will not let him lead a simple proffesional life, always hungry for power on the otherside 4th house related comforts not being enjoyed upon. And if have read this right then astrologically asking what remedy one should advice.
Appologies if i have turned this to personal question but query originated from a discussion and hence pulled in this thread which was already discussing the same subject.

Chetan ji,
This is the new problem that seems to have arisen, thanks to internet forums. Others may not give much importance to this 'dim-sum' approach in modern astrology which I seem to be opposing consistently for a long time
, namely, the folly in looking at factors and combinations in isolation of the rest of the chart, as well as accepting such labels unconditionally! For example jupiter and ketu being the sine qua non for spirituality and piousness, rahu being the rogue and destructive or obstructive for career or the opposite such as rahu bringing materialism and wealth, mars bringing debauchery, sexual misadventures (or adventures) and 4th house only about comforts or guru-chandal (and several other yogas) fitting the identical descriptions depicted at the time of writing of jyotish encyclopedias holding true in modern times; the lines are endless!
If you are truly curious or running through some difficulties in life, please approach jyotish seriously and sincerely and get a proper and full reading from someone you trust and who is capable. Get some word-of-mouth references if you can or we might have another member arriving back and complaining that modern astrologers are duffers, like is being claimed on a parallel thread
It has become fashionable for some to rely on scriptural statements too religiously! If it is not in the scriptures it must be imaginary garbage! For someone who does not consider astrology a religion or necessarily a pursuit to be taken religiously (despite its association in India with the practice of religion and astrological practice to almost a near-total extent to be the territory of those of priestly pursuits), the simple fact stares in our eyes! Nearly all texts have such 'readings' including the effects of planets in houses, planets in rashis, effects of dasas and bhuktis etc. Sometimes, some of the statements match the actual experience of the nativity but mostly those simply leave one scratching ones head! But those of more puritanical bent seem to turn a blind eye to that very simple reality! Software packages have heroically tried to piece together readings out of databases of such snippets of textual readings from several standard texts but the output though voluminous has simply been of rather poor quality. And, I am not referring to the typographical and grammatical errors in the presumably hurriedly keyed in text into the databases! I am talking about the applicability of such readings, or goodness of fit between the expected and observed!
Such 'readings' are good for students for heuristic purposes, viz., pattern identification through identifying the combinations (yogas etc) in practice charts and thus enabling them to learn to do that with actual charts. A better way to learn than by cramming combinations from voluminous texts which interestingly, ALL LACK ANY CHARTS or examples, except perhaps Satya jatakam which describes ONE chart partially, but fails to give the birth data details which might have given a hint as to when it got written. In most cases of scriptures, the guesses and guesstimates span several thousands of years for each scriptural text which remain the only original resource and gold standard!
I know most jyotishis do not wish to touch this sensitive fact, but that is their personal choice for whatever their reasons might be!
I am definitely not a sceptic and also hope that I am not causing any heart-burns for all my good friends here!
Love and Light,
Rohiniranjan
