Transit Results: Rahu provides gains through communication with neighbours, relatives, siblings. Old misunderstandings can be resolved. You will be communicating with others with a lot more flourish. You will need to be careful with partnerships and avoid mingling with people of unknown antecedents, mainly because of Rahu’s drishti on the 11th house. The relationship with the spouse will also enter a phase of pomp and show. You need to be careful with problems with losses, accidents and legal issues during long-distance travel travels. Even with the best planning, plan B will be required almost everywhere. Source of money will be good but you will be tempted to take short-cuts. My advice: bending the rules is okay, blatantly breaking them is not. There are no long term vedhas and Rahu’s transit will give good results.

Taurus

Rahu Transit: 2nd House (Adverse)

Ketu Transit: 8th House (Adverse)

Transit Results: Rahu will increase expenses. There can a be a loss of savings in order to fund these expenses. You will spend money on acquiring personal possessions. This will affect just not your bank account, but your spouse’s bank account as well. You will also need to control your speech otherwise things go out of control with respect of the family. At the place of work, things will be good, but you need to understand if your point of view is too vague for others to understand. There can be problems with your superiors not finding you reliable. Foreign travels will entice you and going away from the place of birth will be on top of your mind. You will not be emotional about sticking around your family and will be ready to leave them behind. Foreign sources of income will also open up. You need to be careful about hard to diagnose long as well as short term diseases. Get yourself checked often and visit a doctor for short ailments also. Do not self-medicate. You should also be careful about your mother’s health.

Gemini

Ketu Transit: 7th House (Adverse)

Transit Results: Will power will be more. You have bouts of self-confidence now and this means that you can be ignorant about well being of others. The tendency is to go to look at yourself first. During this period, family and friends come later. There will be detachment and disagreements with partner/spouse, elder and younger siblings and social networks. You can feel the need to be alone.  With regards to the relationship with kids, there will be extremes. You can be obsessive about them or think that their needs are not as important. Both Rahu and Ketu’s transits put together have an impact on the entire spectrum of family, and mother is the only one unaffected. You need to be honest about yourself with the family. Do not let your reputation get damaged. Business partnerships with foreigners will be beneficial. Long distance travel is also indicated.

Transit Results: Health will be good because diseases will be in control, but there is a danger to feet and eyes. Get yourself a periodic health check package as you should guard yourself against undiagnosed and hidden diseases. Stay on top of your finance as the artha-trikon is afflicted. Expenses can pile up, but at the same time, you may not need to take loans. But most of all, there will be a genuine lack of motivation to earn money as Ketu is in Artha trikone. A lot of confusion can come into the mind at work. There is a lack of resolve and desire to deal with enemies, debt and opposition at the place of work. The trick is to focus on self-improvement and ensure that you learn for yourself. The transits also indicate a change of place and movement to a foreign location, if the dasha and antar-dasha also support it. Estrangement from mother as well as a health problem to her is also indicated. Those in politics will find it difficult to relate to masses and to read their pulse. There will be some gap in their understanding of the political situation.

Rahu’s transit has a long term vedha of Saturn. This can mean that Rahu’s positive effects will be marred by delays, anxiety and frustration. If these factors are brought in control through responsibility and discipline, then the transit will favour you.

Be careful with investments. Speculation and gambling will almost never work. There can be problems with the children and father. Communication will become harsh and rude. You may offend others with your language. The transits indicate loss of faith in the higher power or genuine dissatisfaction with religion, father, mentors and established teachings.

Old baggage from the past will slow you down. There will be a lack of help from divine during this transit. You may want to have a go at all challenges alone, neglecting your partner as well as social network.

This is also a time to be careful about kids and not have high expectations from them.

Repayment of debt can be a problem. At the same time, there will be a lack of enthusiasm at the place of work. Overall, this will not be the best of periods at work and in business. Be below the radar and unless other transits and dasha periods are favourable, ambition should be kept in check.

Sagittarius

Rahu Transit: 7th House (Adverse)

Capricorn

Rahu Transit: 6th House (Favourable)

Ketu Transit: 12th House (Adverse)

Yoga, gym, exercises will help to ward off long and short term health problems. 12th house transit of any planet is difficult, but spiritual outlook increases. Seclusion, self-doubt, distrust, lack of sleep is a negative trait of this transit. With Ketu in 12th, spiritual path almost always works to remove the negativity. Just be in service of your ishta-deva.

Also, there is overconfidence along with ambiguity and uncertainty at the place of work. Rahu creates delusions on your own ability to handle anything at the place of work. Make a new beginning and leave behind the baggage in order to progress at work.

Aquarius

Rahu Transit: 5th House (Adverse)

Ketu Transit: 11th House (Favourable)

Transit Results: This transit indicates erratic cash flow, but it will never go to zero because 11th house transit of any planet is good and is positive for the career. The favourable Ketu transit will see to that. Yet, somehow, there will be a lack of enthusiasm to earn money and to promote and market yourself in the middle of a crowd. The money will still come, even if you don’t find a use for it. Rahu fritters away gains if we do not pay attention to our investments. The stock market and short term speculative investments should always be avoided.

You would also feel like doing everything by yourself and that your friends/partners are not fast enough to keep pace with your thinking abilities. There is disenchantment with partners and love interests. Marriage may not materialize during this period, even if you are in a long term relationship. Siblings will not help much, or even if they help, you may not always be able to appreciate their help. Love, gains, worries, pleasure will be driven through children and they will be in focus.

You may at times feel distrust and lack of faith in the higher power. But you will have to look at the bigger picture and ensure that logic is given more importance than doubts.

Pisces

Rahu Transit: 4th House (Adverse)

Ketu Transit: 10th House (Adverse)

You would be inclined to get a 2nd source of income. Real estate transactions will not be very smooth and there will be a susceptibility to getting cheated.

You will also need to take care of your own health. Long term diseases start during such transits.

Ketu’s transit through the 10th house is indicative of disappointment and dissatisfaction at the place of work. There will be detachment from work and you will feel disinterested in continuing to work. You need to keep your ambitions in check, especially while dealing with peers because you will not be interested in a slugfest with them. You will try to walk away from the competition. This does not mean that competition will not try to pin you down.

You should fully expect to be pulled out of “comfort zone”, e.g., those at work may get transferred to a new role and those in business may have to deal with an as yet unknown yet fiery competitor. There can be transfers at the place of work and these may take you away from your home environment.
