Rahu & Ketu transits occur once in every 18 months. Rahu creates illusions & obsessions to fulfil your desires, while Ketu brings spirituality & illumination. But the impact of their transits will vary depending on specific placements in individual horoscopes. Learn how this Rahu Ketu Transit from 29 May 2025 till 25 November 2026 is going to impact your life.
The combined magnetic field of the Sun and the Earth is concentrated on the North Lunar Node called Rahu (an attractive force) and the South Lunar Node called Ketu (a repulsive force). These are the points where the moon's orbit intersects the ecliptic (the apparent path of the Sun across the sky).
Astronomy Significance: Rahu and Ketu are crucial to understand eclipses. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon is conjunct Rahu (as the Sun and Moon align), and a lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon is conjunct Ketu (the Earth is between the Sun and the Moon).
Psychological Significance: Rahu and Ketu give an illusion of time. They may not be physically manifested, but they have a humongous influence on our subconscious mind. They symbolize your past and future. The symbol of infinity, ?, represents the Rahu-Ketu axis. We can mentally travel along this loop, over and over, as we dwell upon our past or fantasize about our future.
Astrological Significance: According to Vedic astrology, Rahu-Ketu are considered as shadow planets. According to a founding myth, Rahu represents the head of a serpent that symbolizes desires, materialism, and worldly ambitions. Ketu, the tail, signifies detachment through spirituality and liberation. Together, they influence a karmic cycle, providing us with life lessons by often bringing sudden changes and deep introspection.
The time for significant change and introspection has finally arrived!
The celestial realignment of the shadow planets Rahu and Ketu is going to occur on 29 May 2025. Post this remarkable transit, Rahu, separates from the Pisces zodiac and joins Aquarius.
