Rahu & Kethu axis -
The excess and the dearth in personality traints
Rahu and kethu are always traversing in 180 degree opposition to each other. They are the shadow planets and are karmic planets and hence reflect what we carry to future and from past. Rahu indicates the past expertise and hence, he will encourage us to carry on that excess in the current life.
Kethu reflects what we lack and what we ignored due to intoxication of Rahu and hence suggests the area of improvement needed in our personality.
Rahu is often so strong and intoxicating that the person is forced to the extent of resorting to any means for achieving the craving. Where are Kethu is always too quick to give up anything , so even the slightest problem or opposition shall make him give up the try and withdraw. And he will use the rahu's pretension to cover it up with the opposite trait.
Rahu magnifies the bhava he occupies and makes that trait insatiable. Kethu gives a sense of detachment and aloofness and cuts the person off from that bhava he occupies very easily.

On the opposite axis, there is the partner who is always a supporter of this trait and is often ready to give up his or her own popularity or visibility for the sake of being with this partner. So there is a natural attraction to attention shunning and attention longing individuals. But it won't last long unless the balance is carefully achieved.
Rahu is too easy to be clamped down by an admirer and hence when the admiration drops, the person shall be dumped and the native moves on else where. But the person will suffer the need for a dedicated partner all through the life. This person would have failed to identify the dedicated partners who crossed his or her way, due to magnified need for attention and pamper.
The partners eventually turn to detachment and at least the native will always feel that. But understanding this and trying to reduce the demand for attention can help the native balance better.
