RAHU AND KETU IN AQUARIUS/LEO Â Â
YOUR GUIDE FOR THE NEXT 18 MONTHS Â PART 1
RAHU IN AQUARIUS- MEAN NODE MAY 19THÂ Â DEC 6, 2026
RAHU IN AQUARIUS TRUE NODE: MAY 29TH Â – NOV 24, 2026
I discussed Rahu and Aqurisu and Ketu in Leo, which will move there in the mean node system on May 19, 2025, and will move in the true node system on May 29th, 2025. This long and dominant transit will impact you for 18 months. It usually creates major changes in your life as soon as the transition begins, which generally impacts health, relationships, career, and other big changes. Be alert and give the nodes time until mid-June to settle in before making significant decisions impulsively. The impact of the nodes changing signs will often show its impact immediately.
Vedic astrology pays most attention to transits from the Moon Chart since they impact the  mind and emotions most but the transits from the Ascendant Lord and sometimes the Sun Chart and the Arudha Lagna may reveal more material and physical manifestations.
The Arudha Lagna is how others see you and I call it the perception chart. If you know your Arudha lagna rising sign (I can’t teach you how to calculate it here) then Rahu, trining the Arudha Lagna will create Raj Yogas particularly if interacting with a natal benefic. Hence, if your Arudha Lagna is an air sign (Libra, Aquarius, Gemini), then Rahu in Aquarius  will set up a trinal relation and be a positive, particularly with Jupiter trining the air signs into October. Â
Rahu creates our central desire in this lifetime based on where it is in our natal chart and Ketu creates detachment and takes things away to move us toward our goal of Moksha or liberation from the earthly plane. Rahu is like a carrot on a string as it keeps taunting us for more and more and when we finally attain it, we are not satisfied.
Rahu in the 1st House is common for actors and rock stars. While they want recognition and attention, in the end when they get it, they lose all their privacy as they are often the subject of tabloid exposures and tattle but then they realize they want nothing but privacy and freedom from the gossip columnists and flashing camera lenses of the paparazzi!
Rahu and Ketu in transit will open up new desires in our life, bringing with them new levels of attachment. Rahu transits are good in the 3rd, 6th, 10th, and 11th  from the natal moon or rising sign, and Ketu is beneficial in the 3rd, 6th, and 11th from the natal moon or rising sign. So, if you have a moon or your ascendant in Aries, Cancer or Scorpio (for Rahu) Sagittarius then the Rahu transit may be beneficial. If you are a Libra, Pisces, or Libra rising or moon sign, then the Ketu transit will be helpful. This has to be qualified by natal positions in Leo. If you have natal Mars, Rahu, or Saturn associated with Leo or Aquarius, then favorable transits will be negated and adverse transits may be amplified.Â
Any transit can be good or bad. If you have a natal malefic like Saturn, Mars, Sun, or Rahu placed in Leo/Aquarius  or aspecting it in your natal chart, it may bring out the darker side of the transit while an aspect or association with a benefic like Mercury, Venus or Jupiter may bring good results.
Planets in transit and aspecting Leo and Aquarius will impact Rahu and Ketu also.
If your Moon or Sun is in Leo/Aquarius , then the nodes will eclipse it at some point over the next 18 months and the critical part of that transit may be when Rahu or Ketu are 3 degrees on either side of your natal Sun or Moon.Â
If your moon is in Aquarius , Â then Rahu is transiting your moon and can cause deep mental unrest and instability, especially if your natal moon is already weak in the 6th, 8th, or 12th houses or afflicted by other malefics. The mental unrest may be difficult to handle, and you may cope with the added stress by turning to addictive substances if you are not into yoga and meditation.Â
Each chart is unique and if you are running a Rahu or Ketu dasha or sub-period, then these transits will be more impactful. Please consult a professional astrologer for your specific forecast.
