Normally, studying Rahu and Ketu together in the birth chart or during transit is almost a ritual, but I had the idea of writing separate articles for Rahu and Ketu, merely to get a more detailed and descriptive look at both transits. From March 2019 through January 2020, we’ll have separate transit articles for the simultaneous impact of Rahu-Saturn in Aquarius and Saturn-Ketu in Sagittarius.
As a result, Rahu will enter the sign of Gemini in March of 2019. So, let’s have a look at how this transit will affect human life on Earth based on the following factors –
Rahu will enter Gemini on March 23, 2019, and will remain there until September 19, 2020. So, it’s an almost 18-month transit, which is plenty of time to get some things done in our lives. Again, the event is never caused by a single planet. As a result, this article should be read in conjunction with other transit information that I post on a regular basis.
Mean Node vs. True Node To begin, there are primarily two methods for calculating Rahu and Ketu transits. True Nodes and Mean Nodes are two types of nodes. Rahu and Ketu will change signs on the 23rd of March, 2019, according to True Nodes predictions, but on the 7th of March, according to Mean Nodes projections. I’m not going to get into a dispute about which is true because the difference is less than one degree. So, go with whatever makes sense to you. If you want to learn more about it, try searching for “True Node Vs Mean Node” or similar topics.
First, let’s look at how Rahu’s transit in Cancer materialized during the last 18 months. Cancer is a symbol of emotions, sustenance, and motherly care, among other things. Rahu’s passage through Cancer first blew out human emotions to extremes, then taught us how to balance them and walk the middle road. With Jupiter’s transit in Scorpio beginning in October 2018 and the Jupiter-Rahu mutual aspect, this exploding of emotions reached unprecedented heights. Because both are expanding planets, emotional imbalance has been at an all-time high on a personal and global level since then. We’ve also witnessed a growth in the desire to have children in unconventional ways. As a result, we can observe that Rahu in Cancer had the intended effect on us.
Illusion, foreign nations, foreign things, drugs, medicines, any form of drunkenness, celebrity, money, success, obsession, past-life left-over karma, movies, television, online world, cheating, imagined fears, uncommon things, unique things, creativity, rule breaker are all represented by Rahu. Rahu has a tendency to exaggerate things.
Rahu is basically that compulsive energy that makes us pull towards things related to the house/sign where Rahu is travelling in the next 18 months while it is in transit.
Gemini – Because Gemini is the third zodiac sign, it represents many things relating to the third house of the horoscope, such as communication skills (written, oral, or even through sign language), marketing, and business. It’s a symbol that’s mostly associated with communication and business concepts. Mrigashira, Ardra, and Punarvasu are the two and a half nakshatras of Gemini. Mercury, the significator of Communications, is Gemini’s lord.
Rahu in Gemini – Rahu has now entered Gemini. Gemini is ruled by Mercury and is considered a favorable sign for Rahu, however from what I hear, Rahu has a tendency to absorb the traits of the sign it is in and exaggerate them. So, now that Rahu is in Gemini, it will take on the attributes of Gemini and blow them out of proportion. In general, we may see the following findings for everyone
- Because it is a business sign, entrepreneurship may be at an all-time high during this transit, and more people may be enticed to start their own company. The number of new company and marketing concepts will be at an all-time high.
- Because it is a sign of travel and Rahu represents foreign lands, there will be a strong desire to travel to other lands.
- People can be interested in and pursue unique skills, interests, and hobbies. Learning a foreign language may pique someone’s interest.
- The creative side of work, such as movies, television, and other forms of expression, will experience a resurgence.
- During this time, new improved modes of transportation, marketing, and communications can be developed or invented. People will be more likely to use other communication methods.
- At the same time, because Rahu represents illusion and Gemini is the sign of information, we must be wary of misleading information and fake news in the coming years. There will be so much information that determining which information is correct and which is not will be difficult. As a result, we must exercise extreme caution before accepting any information. It can also cause people to speak excessively.
- Because Gemini is also a sign of sexuality due to the symbolism of Man and Woman, and Rahu is all about oddity, we should expect a large global movement in support of LGBT rights.
- As a result, all Gemini representations will have a significant increase during this transit, which will be amplified when Jupiter enters Sagittarius and aspects Rahu in Gemini at the end of the year. The Rahu-Jupiter conjunction will have a similar effect as it does today, but in the Gemini-Sagittarius axis. It may be difficult to deal with the exploding outcomes of Gemini at that time due to the impact of two expansive planets.
Dasha – Anyone travelling through Rahu MD/AD will feel the full force of the transit, as it always does. Others will notice some of the consequences as well, as the 18-month travel time is long enough to have an impact on human life.
Malefic planets’ effects are heavily influenced by a person’s age, as they become milder as they approach adulthood. Rahu is 42 years old when he reaches maturity. So, if you’re above 42 or nearing 40, things may be in your favor. However, because it is a malefic planet by nature, even rewards will only arrive after a lot of effort.
Planets in Gemini and Aquarius – If you were born with planets in Gemini or Aquarius, you will see the effects of Rahu transiting over them. As a result, the things that the planet karaka rules, as well as the things associated to the homes that the planet rules, will be exaggerated. Similarly, because Rahu co-rules Aquarius, any planet in Aquarius will be influenced and expressed through Gemini and the house in which Gemini falls.
Rahu’s Aspects – In addition to transiting in Gemini, Rahu will also offer outcomes for the houses it aspects in the 5th and 9th houses. Rahu will make an aspect to Libra and Aquarius from Gemini. As a result, wherever these two signs are in your horoscope, Rahu’s transit will have an impact. The aspects of Rahu in Gemini are primarily about educating ourselves and dispelling the illusion of Rahu in Gemini. As a result, we’ll focus on investigating or learning about the houses where Libra and Aquarius reside in your horoscope.
Planets Transiting through Gemini Other planets, including the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, and Mars, will transit through Gemini at the same time as Rahu. As a result, Rahu in Gemini will have an impact on all of these planets.
Last but not least, Rahu transiting over each nakshatra will reveal the results of that nakshatra as well as the house in which the nakshatra lord is located in the birth chart.
- We will gain knowledge and wisdom as Rahu goes rearward, currently transiting over Punarvasu in Cancer and will continue this transit in Gemini. Punarvasu, which literally means Return of Light, will bring hope and optimism back into people’s lives. It could also indicate that we are in severe need of hope at this moment. We shall also observe Jupiter’s results and the house in which Jupiter sits at this period, as Punarvasu is ruled by Jupiter.
- When Rahu transits his own nakshatra Ardra, it might cause big changes in the house where Rahu is transiting in the horoscope. Again, the good or negative effects of change are determined by the chart, dasha, and transit. The last thing on my mind is transit.
- When Rahu transits Mrigashira, we may become all desire or ambition focused, chasing our dreams to manifest there. As Mrigashira is controlled by Mars, we will observe the results of Mars and the house where Mars sits at this time.
Please look at the Ascendant and Moon Sign results for this transit. Ascendant Sign forecasts will indicate what will actually happen, while Moon Sign predictions will highlight what our minds desire and how they will react to such circumstances. Another thing to consider is that when the Ascendant and Moon signs both point to the same event, that event has a greater chance of occurring. The occurrence of an event is once again determined by the chart + dasha + transit. The birth chart should first promise the event, then you should be in a dasha that permits the event to happen, and then transits can bring the event to you. Because we’re looking at the last step, it can’t be taken as a definitive statement about what will happen in the next 18 months, but it can give us an idea of where we’ll be focusing our attention during that time, as Rahu will cause us to gravitate toward things related to the house where it transits.
Rahu will transit in the 3rd house/Gemini of business, travel, and communication for Aries people after ruling the 11th house/Aquarius of Entrepreneurship Gains, Income, Elder Siblings, and Desire/Purpose, among other things. Because Rahu connects two houses of business, Aries people are more likely to start their own firm. At the very least, circumstances may arise that force them to establish their own firm. It could also be a period for travel, particularly international travel. They may have a desire to discover new and unusual things. Their courage, ego, and willpower may be at an all-time high. Their relationship with their siblings could be peculiar. At the same time, they may experience disagreements at work, and father may develop a sickness. They should be cautious when driving or traveling and avoid traveling at high speeds.
Taurus Ascendant/Taurus Moon Sign – After dominating the 10th house/Aquarius of Father, Career, Work, and Fame, Rahu will be in the 2nd house/Gemini for Taurus individuals. It demonstrates that Taurus people can make a lot of money from their job, especially if it is a business-related one. Foreign territories or foreign people can be a source of riches for them. At the same time, because Rahu is still a malefic planet, saving money can be difficult. They may have a foreign element in their familial surroundings or may travel to foreign lands away from their family. In family matters, there can also be some oddity or distinctiveness. Because Rahu is affecting all Artha Houses, it appears to be a favorable transit for career and wealth. Because Rahu will be in the 5th house from the 10th house, it will bring enjoyment from job and profession, but this will be especially true if the individual is in business.
After dominating the 9thhouse/Aquarius of higher education, long distance journeys, and people of diverse cultures, Rahu will be in the 1sthouse/Gemini of self, life path, and overall life for Gemini people. This transit is all about putting your attention on yourself. They should put everything else on hold for the next 18 months and focus solely on themselves. They should improve themselves, their life path, and their overall quality of life. They might be drawn to higher education and artistic endeavors. They may travel extensively during this time, particularly to other countries. They can establish their own business in the knowledge, teaching, or counseling fields. If someone is willing to devote time to himself, this is an important transit.
After dominating the 8th house/Aquarius of Sudden Events, Occult, Mysticism, Changes and Transformations, etc., Rahu will be in the 12th house/Gemini of foreign regions, spirituality, and costs for Cancer people. Foreign travel is seen on cards for Rahu and the 12th house since they both symbolize foreign lands. At the same time, they must limit their spending habits, or their expenses and losses will be excessive. Because the 12thhouse signifies hospitals, it might also bring health-related costs. Mercury, as the ruler of Gemini, might be linked to health difficulties. These have to do with the skin, speech, or nervous system. At the same time, they may be spiritually inclined and like gathering a lot of information about spiritual subjects. They can also hold strange or controversial spiritual beliefs.
After governing the 7th house/Aquarius of Business, Masses, and Relationships, Rahu will be in the 11th house/Gemini of profits, entrepreneurship, and serving humanity for Leo individuals. It demonstrates that they can make significant gains during this time, but the best gains can be made through proper business structure. They are eligible for R&R and employment advancement. In their networking groups, they can be rather gregarious. At the same time, because Rahu is still a malefic planet, saving money can be difficult. They may be able to relocate their residence. They may have troubles with their older brother or sister. Again, the best outcome of this travel is entrepreneurship and service to a greater purpose.
Virgo Ascendant or Virgo Moon Sign After dominating the 6th house/Aquarius of Daily Work Life, Disputes, and Diseases, Rahu will be in the 10th house/Gemini of profession and work for Virgo people. It demonstrates a clear preference for a career in business and communication. Again, Rahu is influencing all Artha Houses, making it a career-friendly transit. Because of their job, they are able to travel extensively. There could be certain health issues that are linked to your father. At employment, they may have difficulty with authority figures. Their renown may grow, but this is best accomplished through their own efforts. Their attention will be drawn to tasks at work.
After controlling the 5th house/Aquarius of Creativity, Children, Education, and Happiness for Libra individuals, Rahu will be in the 9th house/Gemini of higher education, long distance travel, and so on. It demonstrates that they will prioritize higher education and travel-related activities. They may have a strong interest in religious and philosophical subjects. They are free to hold strange and divisive religious beliefs. Teachers might be a source of contention for them. They may be drawn to higher education as a result of their creative hobbies. They can discover love in people of other ethnicities, in faraway locations, or through internet dating. It’s a good way to learn new things and see new locations.
Scorpio Ascendant or Scorpio Moon Sign After dominating the 4th house/Aquarius of Home, Home Land, and Mother, Rahu will be in the 8th house/Gemin of Occult, Secrecy, Major Changes, and Serving Others for Scorpions. It indicates that Scorpions will be drawn to the occult and secret aspects of life. They like assisting others with their research, business, and communications needs. They must be cautious of unexpected incidents and mishaps. They could be going through a huge life transition. This shift could be linked to Mother or the household. They may be able to travel as a result of an unexpected event. The best outcomes of this transit are when they devote themselves to some research-oriented work and use it to help others.
Sagittarius Ascendant or Sagittarius Moon Sign – After dominating the 3rd house/Aquarius of communications, interests, and skills, Rahu will be in the 7th house/Gemini of relationships, business, and the masses for Sagittarius people. This transit connects two houses of business and interacting with the masses once more. As a result, they will be drawn to engaging with others through commerce and communication. They may have a strong desire to be in a relationship, and if their chart and dasha are supportive of it, they may be able to do so. However, the interaction with individuals based on business, communication, and talents will be the main focus. It may also cause them to travel frequently.
Capricorn Ascendant or Capricorn Moon Sign – After dominating the 2nd house/Aquarius of Family, Wealth, and Speech, Rahu will be in the 6th house/Gemini of daily job life, disagreements, and sicknesses for Capricorn people. As Rahu is again affecting all job-related houses, it indicates that they will be focused on their everyday work and career. At the same time, people should exercise caution when it comes to their health, as this transit may bring with it certain unique or unusual disorders. In situations of doubt, seek a second opinion. Diseases of the skin, speech, and nerve system can all be linked. It demonstrates how your wealth can be squandered on diseases and arguments. As a result, please take proactive steps to avoid such situations. Overall, your attention should be on your profession, and you should avoid getting into any confrontations or controversies.
After dominating the 1st house/Aquarius of Self, Life Path, and Overall Health for Aquarians, Rahu will be in the 5th house/Gemini of creativity, education, and happiness, among other things. It demonstrates that learning new things, educating yourself, and working on your artistic endeavors are all part of a life path. People can have love relationships or have children if their chart+dasha allows it. Overall, though, the emphasis will be on achieving happiness through education and creativity. They can also build a business out of their creative endeavors and use their communications to help others. It’s a good time to learn something new.
Last but not least, the Pisces Ascendant or the Pisces Moon Sign. After dominating the 12th house/Aquarius of Foreign Lands, Isolation, and Hospitals, Rahu will be in the 4th house/Gemini of home, home land, and mother for Pisces people. This transit will draw them back to their roots, their homeland, and their mother. They must look for their mother’s health. It is possible to travel from one’s own country to another’s country or vice versa. They have the option of spending their money on their mother or on home/real estate concerns. They could be running a home-based business. During this time, their home environment may be strange or unexpected.
Conclusion As can be seen, the transit’s main focus will be on business, communication, travel, learning new things, and providing people with new information. Have a wonderful Rahu transit in Gemini.
