Transit of Rahu-Kethu into Virgo & Pisces - Effect on Individuals (an outlook)
Transit is a universal phenomenon applicable even
to celestial bodies like stars and planets in this insurmountable, eternal
and ever revolving wheel of Time called Kaalachakra. Though Rahu and Kethu are nodes denoting two points of intersection of the 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 current transit of Rahu-Kethu…
Effective from 13.07.2014 Rahu; Kethu; the
mysterious nodes are changing their signs in the zodiac. While Rahu is moving from
Libra (Thula) to Virgo (Kanya); simultaneously Kethu will be moving from Aries
(Mesha) to Pisces (Meena). They will be transiting in the signs of Virgo and
Pisces respectively for a period of 18 months approx. up to 09.01.2016. There
could be a slight variation in the dates due to different almanacs that are
being followed.
Rahu during its sojourn in Virgo (Kanya) will be
transiting across the constellations of Chitta (1); Hastha and Uttara Phalguni
(2,3,4); and Kethu during its sojourn in Pisces (Meena) would be transiting
across the constellations of Revathi; Uttarabhadra and Poorvabhadra (4).
During Rahu-Kethu sojourn in Virgo and Pisces respectively
other major astrological transits would be that of Jupiter currently in Cancer
sign moving into Leo in July 2015; Saturn currently in Libra transiting into
Scorpio in November 2014. One also has to be watchful of the transit of Mars
and its aspect on Rahu – Kethu during their sojourn in Virgo and Pisces. These
are the signs (Virgo/Pisces) 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 aspects would fall on 5th, 7th,
9th, and 12th houses from the sign they occupy. Their transit results
would be most influencing and impactful both on individuals and on mundane
surface that will be for a 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 signs. While transiting evil houses natural benefic planets produce
almost neutral results whereas natural malefic planets give adverse results. Transit
implications especially that of slow moving planets have to be assessed based
on the techniques of Vedha; Moorthi-Nirnaya; Tharabala etc. For the purpose of analyzing planetary transits (Gochara) a birth chart
is reckoned from Moon sign that is known as Janma Raasi, the house where Moon
is placed at the time of birth.

Based on general
astrological conventions Rahu-Kethu are supposed to produce good results and
material fortune when they occupy Upa-chaya (3, 6, 10 &
11th houses); while 11th house is said to be their best
positioning. All other houses (1st,
2nd, 4th, 5th, 7th, 8th
9th, 12th) they give negative results unless otherwise
supported by strengths in the birth chart. Generally the zodiac signs (Raasis)
get a balancing leverage because one occupies a favourable position while the
other occupies an unfavourable position and vice-versa. Sometimes the adverse effects of one may also
get neutralized by the beneficial results of the other.
Moorthi-Nirnaya…
Based on the positioning of
Moon at the time of Rahu-Kethu transit on 13.07.2014; they acquire the
following forms. On this day at the time of Rahu-Kethu transit, Moon will be in
Capricorn (Makara) sign. Based on one’s radical (natal) Moon sign in relation
to the sign in which Moon stands at the time of transit Moorthi Nirnaya for
zodiac signs would be as follows…
Leo,
Capricorn, Pisces
|
Swarna
Moorthi
|
Taurus, Virgo, Sagittarius
|
Rajatha
Moorthi
|
Aries, Cancer, Scorpio
|
Thamra
Moorthi
|
Gemini, Libra, Aquarius
|
Loha
Moorthi
|
As per Moorthi Nirnaya
method, malefic planets produce adverse results as Swarna Moorthi and Loha
Moorthi, average to good results as Thamra Moorthi and favourable results as
Rajatha Moorthi.

Janma Thara (1) and Nydhana (Vadha) thara (7)
gives very bad results; Pratyak Thara (5) and Vipat Thara (3) thara gives bad
results; Sampat Thara (2); Kshema Thara (4); Saadhana Thara (6) and Mithra
Thara (8) gives good results; Parama-mithra Thara (9) gives very good/excellent
results.
Transit results enumerated above for various
zodiac signs (Raasis) are only indicative; they should not be applied as it is
verbatim. They may get modified based on the overall planetary position;
strength in the natal chart, placement (strength) of Rahu-Kethu in the birth
chart both in Raasi and Navaamsa; planetary aspects on them and the transit
sign; running Dasa and Bhukti (sub-period); transit position of other planets
like Saturn, Jupiter etc.
One should not draw inferences purely based on
transit results on its face value as it may get restricted or altered by Vedha
position of other planetary transits. Therefore for a comprehensive estimate of
the transit results, a combined assessment of conventional results along with
other techniques in vogue has to be made.
