Transit of Rahu & Kethu 
into Libra & Aries

(Effect on individuals - an outlook)

Transit is a universal phenomenon applicable even to the celestial bodies like stars and planets in this insurmountable, eternal and ever revolving wheel of Time Kaalachakra. Though Rahu and Kethu are the nodes denoting the two points of intersection of paths of Sun and Moon; in Hindu astrology they are very much referred to as Grahas who constantly move around the zodiac at regular intervals. They change their signs once in 18 months and it takes 18 years for them to complete one round of revolution across the zodiac. Rahu-Kethu always move in anti-clockwise direction (apasavya) maintaining a distance of 180 degrees from each other.

Astrological implications of Rahu - Kethu transit

Effective from 23.12.2012 Rahu; Kethu; the mysterious nodes have changed their signs in the zodiac. While Rahu has moved from Scorpio (Vruschika) to Libra (Thula); Kethu has moved from Taurus (Vrushabha) to Aries (Mesha). Both have moved out of their signs of debilitation. They will be transiting in the signs of Libra and Aries respectively for a period of 18 months up to 23.06.2014. There could be a slight variation in the dates due to different almanacs that are being followed.

Rahu during its sojourn in Libra will be transiting across the constellations of Visakha (1, 2, & 3); Swathi; and Chitta (2 & 3); and Kethu during its sojourn in Aries would be transiting across the constellations of Kruttika (1); Bharani and Aswini. Currently Saturn is transiting in Libra sign and Rahu would be getting conjoined with exalted Saturn during his sojourn in Libra. Aries the first house in the zodiac is a fiery sign and Mars (Kuja) is its sign lord. Libra an airy sign is the natural 7th house of the zodiac and Venus is its sign Lord. 

During Rahu-Kethu sojourn in Libra and Aries respectively other major astrological transits would be that of Jupiter moving into Gemini and further into Cancer; Saturn’s transit in Libra would continue. One has to be watchful of the transit of Mars and its aspect on Rahu-Kethu during their sojourn in Libra and Aries. These are the signs where eclipses are going to occur during the coming 18 months.

Rahu and Kethu are slow moving planets in the order of Saturn, Rahu-Kethu and Jupiter. They are shadow planets (Chaaya Grahas). They don’t own any sign in the zodiac, however they acquire power from the house they occupy and gives results (virtues and vices) of the lord of that sign and or of the conjoined planets. In Vedic astrology it is said that Rahu is akin to Saturn (Shani) based on the dictum Shanivad Rahu and Kethu is similar to Mars – Kujavad Kethu. They are said to give the results akin to Saturn (Rahu) and Mars (Kethu) respectively. Their transit results would be most influencing and impactful both on individuals and on mundane surface that will be for longer duration compared to the fast moving planets.

Generally both natural benefic as well as malefic planets produce favourable results while transiting through their respective favourable houses. While transiting evil houses natural benefic planets produce almost neutral results whereas natural malefic planets give adverse results.  

Transit implications especially slow moving planets have to be assessed based on techniques of Vedha; Moorthy Nirnaya; Tharabala. Accordingly the general implications of the current transit of Rahu and Kethu for individuals would be…

Moorthy Nirnaya

Based on the positioning of Moon at the time of Rahu-Kethu transit on 23.12.2012; they acquire the following forms. On this day Moon was in Aries sign at the time of Rahu-Kethu transit. Based on one’s radical (natal) Moon sign in relation to the sign in which Moon stands at the time of transit Moorthy Nirnaya for zodiac signs would be as follows…

Aries; Scorpio; Gemini
Swarna Moorthi
Pisces; Sagittarius; Leo
Rajatha Moorthi
Aquarius; Libra; Cancer
Thamra Moorthi
Capricorn; Virgo; Taurus
Loha Moorthi

In general malefic planets produce adverse results as Swarna Moorthi and Loha Moorthi, average to good results as Thaamra Moorthi and favourable results as Rajatha Moorthi. 
Thaarabala 

Based on stellar occupational method known as Tharabala or strength of the star in which the planet is transiting reckoned form the birth star the results would be as follows…

As a rule Nydhana thara and Janma Thara gives very bad results, Pratyak and Vipat thara gives bad results, Sampat thara, Saadhana thara and Mithra thara gives good results and Paramamithra thara gives very good results.

Auspicious houses would be 3,6,11 and corresponding Vedha houses would be 12, 9 and 5;

Results enumerated above are in general and should not be applied as it is verbatim. They may get modified based on overall planetary position; strength in the natal chart, placement of Rahu – Kethu  in birth chart; aspects of benefic planets, running Dasa-Bhukti etc, transit of planets like Jupiter; Saturn etc. Therefore for a comprehensive estimate of transit results a combined assessment has to be made.
