Timing and classical commentary

Rahu in Sagittarius or Pisces (Jupiter's signs) → Rahu acts like Jupiter → positive spiritual results.

A strong Jupiter conjunct or aspecting Rahu greatly enhances the positive results.

Jupiter in the 12th house in Navamsa can reduce the positive results even when the birth-chart placement is strong (Example 37 principle).
