Where Rahu and Ketu are right now
Rahu and Ketu are always exactly opposite and always move backwards through the zodiac, so they describe one axis rather than two separate transits: whatever Rahu is enlarging, Ketu is emptying directly across from it. This axis holds until November 25, 2026.
Effects on all 12 rashis — Rahu in Aquarius, Ketu in Leo
Rahu amplifies your ambitions and social networks — sudden gains are possible but require caution with speculation.
Rahu in your career house triggers sudden rise in status, visibility, and ambition — but home life needs grounding.
Rahu expands your luck, foreign horizons, and higher learning — while Ketu sharpens your communication to a fine edge.
Rahu in your 8th house triggers radical transformation — secrets emerge, inheritance matters, and life changes at its roots.
Rahu obsesses over partnerships while Ketu dissolves your ego — a transformative axis demanding authentic connection.
Rahu conquers your enemies and debts while Ketu liberates your soul — one of the most powerful Rahu placements.
Rahu unleashes extraordinary creative and speculative energy — channel it wisely or risk obsession and loss.
Rahu drives real estate ambitions and domestic reinvention while Ketu spiritualizes your approach to career.
Rahu supercharges your boldness and media presence while Ketu distils ancient wisdom into your spiritual compass.
Rahu obsesses over wealth and family assets while Ketu unlocks hidden occult knowledge and research depth.
Rahu sits on your ascendant — dramatic personality reinvention and ambitious self-branding define this transit.
Rahu draws you toward foreign lands and spiritual liberation while Ketu quietly defeats your enemies and heals your body.
Who is most affected
Strongest placement: Kanya (Virgo), with Rahu in the 6th. Most demanding: Kark (Cancer), with Rahu in the 8th. Most personal: Kumbh, where Rahu sits directly on the ascendant — appearance, appetite and ambition all shift, and others usually notice before you do.
What changes next
Rahu moves into Capricorn on November 25, 2026. On that day every rashi’s nodal houses shift back by one — a chart that had Rahu in the 11th house of gains gets it in the 10th house of career. The subject changes; the intensity does not.

Frequently Asked Questions
When did Rahu move into Aquarius?
Rahu entered Aquarius on May 30, 2025, and Ketu entered Leo the same day — the two nodes are always exactly opposite. This axis runs until November 25, 2026, about 18 months in total, which is how long the nodes spend in each sign pair.
Which rashi benefits most from this transit?
Kanya (Virgo), with Rahu in the 6th house. The most demanding placement falls to Kark (Cancer), where Rahu sits in the 8th. Kumbh natives have Rahu directly on their own sign. Your Moon sign decides which house the axis lands in; what is already sitting in that house decides how much you feel it.
When is the next Rahu-Ketu transit?
Rahu moves into Capricorn on November 25, 2026, with Ketu moving to the opposite sign the same day. Because the nodes travel backwards, every rashi's nodal houses shift back by one on that date — the subject of the transit changes, not its intensity.
