Rahu Ketu transit - October 2006

 

 

 

The movement of Rahu and Ketu in the Zodiac has been keenly watched by

those who want to be forewarned. It takes place after every year and a

half. See if some of what is given here came true in your case in the

last eighteen months.

 

 

RAHU AND KETU are the planets of Karmic retribution. The placement of

Rahu in our natal chart shows the areas in our life that will require

special attention in this lifetime. And the Ketu placement indicates

what we are carrying over from our previous lifetime. The two are always

moving in retrograde direction and change their signs every eighteen

months. On October 12, 2006, Rahu moved from Jupiter governed Pisces to

Saturn ruled Aquarius. And as Ketu is always 180 degrees away from Rahu,

it moved from Moon ruled Cancer to Sun ruled Leo.

 

The following is a general prediction based on this transit of the

nodes. This is based on your natal moon sign (Rashi) placement. In case

you are not aware of your rashi, you can go through the effects

mentioned at the beginning for each rashi for the last Rahu Ketu

transit, which must have affected you in the past eighteen months. In

any case, the specific results are heavily dependent on the basic

strength of the natal chart and also the running mahadasha of the

individual. A strong natal chart is a blessing from the heavens and

minimises all negativity. Also, as there are seven other planets in

Vedic astrology, their placements and transits have to be taken into

account for an accurate prediction.

By nature, the placement of Rahu transiting a particular house will

demand attention in that area of life. Rahu is a planet of materialism

and gives material gains in a particular area. Simultaneously, it

creates conditions wherein you really cannot enjoy material gains. It

essentially urges one to turn to the higher powers to seek mental peace.

Ketu, on the other hand, will deprive a person of the benefits of the

house it is transiting and force a person to think on a higher plane. It

can result in turning the mind inwards to seek the ultimate truth. In

essence they are both karmic control planets, but work differently on an

individual to yield the ultimate truth.
