Every 18 months, the cosmic axis of Rahu and Ketu shifts, activating a powerful karmic cycle. These invisible planetary forces, also known as the North and South Nodes of the Moon, operate outside the boundaries of logic and linear time. Their movement is not just astrological—it is deeply spiritual, energetic, and personal.
Starting May 18th, 2025, Rahu will move into Aquarius, and Ketu into Leo, initiating a transformative chapter that continues until December 5th, 2026. This 18-month window opens a karmic portal that has the power to redirect the trajectory of your life—especially in areas of career, relationships, identity, health, and your spiritual evolution.
Rahu and Ketu do not operate like ordinary planets. They are shadow forces—eclipsing points on the Moon’s path—that influence your destiny in subtle but seismic ways. While Rahu amplifies desire and obsession, Ketu dissolves attachment and pride. Together, they weave a karmic script that pulls you toward uncharted growth.
These transits are often misunderstood. They’re not here to punish or confuse. They’re here to initiate you.
Aquarius is the sign of the visionary, the rebel, the humanitarian, the innovator. With Rahu’s entrance into Aquarius, expect to feel an intense urge to break free from old systems and connect to something radically new—new communities, new ideas, and new ways of expressing your individuality.
You may feel pulled toward:
But beware: Rahu’s gifts come with shadows. This placement can trigger obsession with validation from groups, radical ideologies, or excessive detachment from reality in pursuit of utopia.
Leo represents leadership, pride, creativity, and recognition. Ketu here strips away the need for applause and admiration. It forces you to shed ego-driven ambitions and asks: Who are you when the spotlight fades?
This can be painful—but it’s also liberating. If you cling to titles, approval, or power, Ketu will shake those foundations. But if you are willing to lead from the soul, Ketu can help you reclaim authentic, humble, heart-centered leadership.
Amid the intensity, Jupiter’s transit through Gemini offers a rare grace. Gemini, an air sign like Aquarius, supports Rahu’s innovative energy—but adds discernment, curiosity, and wisdom.
Jupiter here acts as a guiding hand, helping you:
But this support is only accessible if you’re conscious and connected. This isn’t the time to sleepwalk through life.
This transit won’t impact everyone the same way. If Rahu or Ketu are touching your natal Moon, Sun, Ascendant, or key planets, you’ll likely feel its power strongly. Life may shift dramatically—sometimes overnight.
Expect changes in:
When unbalanced, Rahu can create confusion, anxiety, addiction, and illusion.
Ketu can trigger withdrawal, detachment, and existential crisis.
But with the right practices, these energies can become portals to deep insight, healing, and evolution.
Rahu and Ketu don’t just shake things up for no reason. They are the sacred disruptors, here to guide your soul closer to its truth. This 18-month transit is not a curse—it is an initiation. If you listen, reflect, and act with awareness, you will emerge wiser, freer, and more aligned with your divine purpose.
The journey begins May 18th. Are you ready to walk through the karmic gateway?
