Article written by Ruchi Dutta

On 30^th October 2023, Rahu transited to Pisces and Ketu to Virgo, activating the Pisces Virgo axis for the next 18 months (Rahu Ketu Transit 2023-2025).

Rahu and Ketu are known to be naturally malefic planets. However, based on their placement in your birth chart, the influence of Rahu and Ketu will be observed to be both good and bad on all 12 zodiac signs.

The effect this transit will have on the moon/ascendant signs will be the following:

Aries Ascendant & Moon

A very transformative period is now in the offing, towards a more mature new you.

You may face some challenges in forming habits related to your daily life or health. There will be a change in routine due to circumstances, either your job or work change, maybe a relocation for some or change in health routine for some. And if you haven’t been taking care of your health, the time changes now.

For a change this time, charity becomes selfless. A desire to help the old, aged, and small animals such as strays may arise.

A change in mindset is also indicated where you want to become more spiritually aware and be in sync with the universe.

Self-introspection is all about how you can change your life and make it better. Confusion about what is real and what is an illusion will now fall away, and you may want to figure out your purpose and re-direct and re-align to it.

Watch out for this time that you don’t trust the wrong people. Wrong decisions specially financial may already be making you wary, but take time to think before you make any decisions. I’d say don’t be spontaneous about important matters.

There are chances of an increase in expenses. If you had any debts, you’ll get the opportunity to repay them back now.

Plenty of opportunities to drink liquor may arise, try, and avoid. Health, which has been bad lately, will improve as you make lifestyle changes.

Chances of pain in legs, feet is there, as is an upset stomach. Also take care of your eyes.

There may be a fight with the maternal side relatives. Grandparent’s health may need looking after.

Taurus Ascendant & Moon

New beginnings will see you move your attention towards a new social circle in life with Rahu moving to your 11^th House & Ketu to the 5^th House. Finding the right peer circle that can not only pull you up, be your new besties, but also help you to fulfill your goals. A healthy symbiotic relationship where you scratch each other’s back. It’s a win-win situation in all.

The validation you seek is from accomplished people, well placed people and in your desire to network with them has made sure that you have met such people or about to meet them.

You will be interested in multiplying your sources of income, and investments will feature large in it. Turning your passions into a source of income or using a latent talent to earn is also not ruled out. Social media, the internet will feature largely in it and if you’re already an influencer your income will rise. Advertising on social media will be plus too to generate your income.

Social media though has its negative side effects and you may want to be a truth speaker and call a spade a spade but avoid getting into any unnecessary arguments online as that can be detrimental.

This can also be an emotionally powerful time for you as the people who need to fall away, will, and that will create space for new people to come in. You may become more possessive about the people in your life. Learn to be receptive to their needs and wants.

Children will play a big role in the next 18 months. Your own or the ones in the family you are attached to. Their education may need looking into and a rejig may be required to jump start them on their path. And if that’s you, then you need to put your focus back on your studies and probably isolate and retrospect what requires commitment from you now.

Gemini Moon & Rising

Times ahead are filled with fun and enjoyment but may not be satisfactory totally. The recognition you want, which the last transit may have damaged somehow will be right back up.

You will want to openly demand respect you deserve at work. You are tired of being sidelined and want to even switch your job or just give up. This desire will further amplify from January onwards to a stronger degree. However, this decision can also come out of impulse where someone from your networking circle who was close to you will serve as a trigger point directly or indirectly. Rahu in your 10^th house will create illusions in your workplace but you must try to see truth from fallacy.

Happiness is going to come to you, but not in the form of satisfaction from bringing about this change and you will learn to accept this because things will work out but not in a certain way especially the way you want. Learning acceptance is the key in this Rahu Ketu Transit.

Issues with your mother can also peak during this time so take care of her health.
Renovation at home is a possibility.
Possibility of a prayer/ religious ceremony at home is also there.

Times ahead look good when you do not try to control the manifestation rather bring about a tendency to adapt to this new manifestation, that is when abundance will come so this is your time to learn from your past mistakes, reflect upon them and move on ahead with a strong spirit.

Cancer Ascendant & Moon

Rahu comes to your 9^th house & Ketu to 3^rd house for you. Interest & desire to know more about Religion, spirituality & researching in depth on philosophical matters ushers in. Interest in new topics and the working of the Universe interest you, and if you so desire, you’ll be able to put it out on social media and not only monetize it but in the process create some sort of a name for yourself.

Your learning lies In sharing the knowledge you gain. Hands on should be your approach.

You’ll be pleasantly surprised to know that people want to read and hear your views. Spread your knowledge as much as you can.

A lot of travels, short term and long term is seen for Cancer Rising & Moon with this transit- foreign as well as domestic travels. You may do this travelling to spread awareness and knowledge.

You may also need to take care of mother’s health as you are way too emotional about her.

If so desired, foreign settlement, going abroad for further education is also seen with appropriate efforts. If you’ve been trying to shift for few years and now is the time to make concerted efforts for best results.

Your communication Is going to be very important with this transit because you may become unfiltered and may even detach yourself from your genuine connections which may lead to loss of your friendships.

Leo Rising & Moon

Leo people have been feeling confused, overwhelmed, and stuck with all the changes going on within them. Thinking about the uncertainty & insecurity about their future, lack of clear goals, & contemplating what they should do so that their life gets a meaningful purpose.

But the time to gain back that lost focus for the Leo’s, especially from the financial point of view, is coming in these 18 months. Lately, unexpected expenses have gone up, especially towards electronics, & now the focus will shift to planning for the family. Important matters like planning for the future, savings & investments will be on your mind. Creating a legacy you can leave behind will be important for you, too.

Relationships have been leaving you feeling unfulfilled, & now you will want to sort out your priorities and cut away those people who drain you of energy and stay with those who fulfill you. Prioritizing family relationships, being with those with whom you sense belonging, is all that matters. While you like to surround yourself with people who love you, you will now begin to enjoy some peace, quiet, & solitude.

Occult, astrology, and spirituality will interest you, & you’ll want to research more on these topics.

Family pets need looking after as their health might suffer.

Those of you thinking of shifting abroad will get success now.

The time to end your Fun & Frolic and become serious in & about life is here now. Watch it unfold .

Virgo Rising & Moon

Rahu, in the 7^th house and ketu in the 1^st house, will have you thinking and analyzing relationships and your role in them.

In this transit, you will realize that you seem to be in a different relationship zone from them. And if you are in a relationship presently, you will want to formalize it, and they are not there yet. As this becomes clear to you, you’ll become bored, but this may also lead to anxiety. A new fitness regime will help you a lot in this. Physical exercises will help you work off some of these anxious feelings.

You have a tendency to prioritize others’ happiness over yours. You are far more selfless than others give you credit for. This transit period will help you realize that you at times need to put yourself first. Learning to be independent will be your lesson to learn.

This transit is going to be quite a time period for you, with your obsessions frequently fluctuating and changing.

These Interest fluctuation will give you slight mood swings, as you become more hard on yourself trying to chase the ephemeral perfection and then when things do not work out the way you want them to, you will just lose interest and move on to try the next interesting thing creating a loop of procrastination and a tendency to leave things midway.

Work politics is another thing to watch out for. This is something you inherently dislike, and being a perfectionist, it irritates you to no end.

For those of you looking to marry, it looms large in your mind. You’ll want to now settle down and 2024 just might be your year, for your marriage to get fixed, this will depend on your particular birth chart and how the other stars are placed.
