Rahu and Ketu transit Pisces and Virgo, and are in the 10° range through April. Rahu aspects Saturn, while Saturn aspects Ketu. This is a vulnerable time for the world. Persons, companies, and countries with rising signs, or planets in “even” signs, around 10° should be cautious and do planetary remedies for their charts.
