and discipline during this period.
Transiting Ketu over Saturn reduces productivity, causes work interruptions, and brings issues with employees.
If one is undergoing the major period (Mahadasha) of Rahu or Ketu, their transits will have an even more significant impact (this applies to other planets as well—the transit of the planet whose period one is experiencing will be especially influential). It is also important to consider the sub-periods (Antardashas) of planets. Everything regarding planetary periods is covered in my book The Art of Jyotish: Secrets Unlocked.
When transiting Rahu and Ketu occupy angular houses in the horoscope, they bring the greatest societal and personal changes (on the Sagittarius-Gemini and Virgo-Pisces axes).
Ketu does not cast aspects—meaning it does not "glance" at other planets—since it has no head and no eyes, as it strives for Moksha (liberation). Rahu aspects the 7th, 5th, and 9th houses from its position.
I have observed that Rahu and Ketu begin exerting influence approximately one month before transitioning into their next signs.
It is also recommended to pay attention to the dispositors of transiting Rahu and Ketu—that is, the planets ruling the houses through which Rahu or Ketu are transiting, as their placement in the natal chart will influence the transit's effects.
Transits of Rahu and Ketu, as well as their aspects (this also applies to transits of other planets), activate the Bhrigu Bindu point—a highly sensitive point in the natal chart, located between the natal Moon and Rahu (information on how to calculate it can be found online).
When transiting planets affect this point, they trigger fated events in the life of the chart’s owner. The nature of these events will correspond to the characteristics of the planets involved and will be unique to each individual.
Rahu and Ketu, in particular, bring unpredictable and unfavorable situations. These may include injuries, conflicts, theft, separations, persecution by enemies, and various forms of suffering.
Below, the illustrations contain information on how Rahu and Ketu manifest in different signs. Astrologers’ opinions on this matter are not always unanimous. The karmic nodes always create illusions; therefore, even in favorable placements, they can negatively affect the living indicators of the horoscope, damage relationships, take away people or things—often as a means of pushing an individual toward personal growth and guiding them in the necessary direction.
Transits of Rahu in Aries, Ketu in Libra
When Rahu transits Aries, qualities such as decisiveness, independence, initiative, bravery, aggressiveness, bluntness, recklessness, and categorical thinking become prominent—these are the traits of Mars, the ruler of Aries.
Since Rahu is associated with illusions, this “cocktail” of Rahu and Aries may lead to incorrect actions and delusions during this transit.
We know that Rahu, as the head of the dragon, creates fog, confusion, and unclear situations, while Mars is linked to strength (muscles) and is eager to act rather than think. Together, this combination results in impulsive actions and unclear thoughts, which can lead to illogical behavior and unfavorable consequences.
At the same time, this transit may bring unusual ideas and interesting concepts, potentially related to foreign countries. After all, Rahu is connected with foreign lands and all things unconventional, while Mars represents entrepreneurship and impulsivity.
Venus, the planet of love, beauty, and desires, rules Libra, the sign where transiting Ketu (which relates to what is unseen) is located. This combination may lead to secret relationships, hidden pleasures unnoticed by others, or an inability to recognize certain pleasures and affections. In love, there is a risk of delusions and illusions, as Rahu and Ketu obscure everything they touch.
Ketu in Libra will transit your 7th house (spouse, business partners), while Rahu in Aries will transit your 1st house (health, personality, tendencies, appearance).
You will feel a strong drive to move forward, overcome difficulties, and decide on your direction in life.
Rahu in the 1st house focuses attention on oneself and one’s identity. The karmic task during this period is to reevaluate goals, improve status, and strive for popularity and recognition. However, personal relationships may suffer due to a lack of time for them.
It is important not to fear expressing uniqueness, avoid escapism, stay away from intoxicants, develop endurance, improve appearance, take care of health, avoid attachment to a partner, embrace solitude, let go of pride, and avoid excessive self-focus.
Ketu is always associated with Moksha and asceticism. Since Venus, the ruler of Libra, is friendly with Ketu, this placement may indicate connections with foreigners, relocation, ascetic conditions in relationships, distance, or separation.
Rahu in the 1st house directly aspects the 7th house (relationships), the 5th house (romance, children, creativity, education, hobbies), and the 9th house (long-distance travel, higher education, spiritual growth, luck, father, guru, dharma, courts, laws).
Ketu in Libra will transit your 6th house (debts, enemies, illnesses, hard work), while Rahu in Aries will transit your 12th house (expenses, problems, foreign lands, isolation, meditation, sacrifice, enlightenment, sleep, sex, pilgrimage as work, work with foreigners).
Possible losses, relocation abroad, or pilgrimage may occur. You need to break free from routine, establish connections with foreign countries, and incorporate something new into your business if you have one.
Pay close attention to health, seek medical help when needed, and engage in yoga, breathing practices, and meditation.
There is a risk of financial losses, bad investments, and excessive expenses, so financial matters require special attention.
It is beneficial to study Vedic astrology, Ayurveda, Eastern philosophy, other cultures, and foreign languages.
Rahu directly aspects the 7th house from itself (which is your 6th house), as well as the 5th house from itself (which is your 4th house—emotions, happiness, mother, family, real estate, vehicles) and the 9th house from itself (which is your 8th house—unexpected financial gains or events, inheritance, partner’s finances, secrets, esotericism, sexuality).
Ketu in Libra will transit your 5th house (creativity, education, hobbies, romantic relationships, children), while Rahu in Aries will transit your 11th house (income, desires, ambitions, elder relatives, elder siblings, friends, internet, foreigners, interest-based groups).
Rahu in the 11th house may grant the fulfillment of desires, support from elders, and decisive actions. It is important to develop relationships with colleagues, friends, and influential individuals, expand your business, and pursue ambitions and dreams.
Ketu in the 5th house may cause fears regarding children, their future, birth, education, or upbringing. If you are already expecting a child, birth may occur smoothly, but there could be strong ambitions pushing you to achieve goals at any cost. After significant effort, desired outcomes can be achieved. Some may regret financial expenditures. The exact effects will be individual, depending on the natal chart.
Rahu in the 11th house directly aspects the 5th house (romance, children, creativity, education, hobbies), the 3rd house (short trips, younger siblings, neighbors, surroundings, writing, arts, anything created by hand), and the 7th house (spouse, business partners).
