Rahu and Ketu change signs on September 23rd where they will remain until April 12th, 2022.

Rahu, the head of the dragon, moves into the sign of Taurus, a very materialistic place, and Ketu its tail moves into Scorpio, a place of secrets and discovery. From the sign of Taurus Rahu the head of desire will aspect the signs of Virgo and Capricorn throughout its transit.

A good way to view their affects is to understand nature, Ketu’s position in your chart is where your security paradigm sits and Rahu is where your destiny awaits.The transit of Rahu and Ketu in your chart opens two important classrooms of life over the next eighteen months. Rahu will pull you headfirst to have an experience where you are in fact inexperienced and Ketu will entice you to the place where you rather remain. 

Rahu is exalted in the sign of Taurus and Ketu although similar to Mars the ruler of Scorpio, is not so comfortable in this water sign.  We now shift from the fire and air element of Sagittarius and Gemini moving into the Earth and Water element of Taurus and Scorpio where we will experience a slow return to a flow of stability from the Spring of 2021 onward. The delay to Rahu power is mainly due to the upcoming eclipse in December, our last heavy hitter of 2020, and secondly the Jupiter and Saturn conjunction from November - April.

Arriving in Taurus Rahu is cooled.  Rahu in Taurus is focused on creating stability at any cost; this will be his primary focus for the next eighteen months. Rahu in the sign ruled by Venus is interested in our comfort, abundance, relationships, and connection to others. Rahu wants to find a better option for ourselves and the collective. 

What is key to a successful Rahu in a Taurus is to give him a target and a goal otherwise we are lost in limited desire. In the early stages of Rahu in Taurus in Mrigashira nakshatra Rahu first exposes our vulnerability then when he moves into Rohini at the end of January he brings in ways to create stability.  Rahu in the early part of his transit is the challenge. Rahu here is in the pursuit of what it wants and it wants it with ease. This is the danger of Rahu in Venus-ruled sign since we will experience the vulnerability of our current circumstances we can be easily pushed into being dictated to in order to find our relief.

Ketu in Scorpio is fixed,  intense, it is obsessive and overly protective. Ketu is the secrets to be revealed, what is hidden, what is deep inside. Ketu through his transit through Scorpio will be digging up what has been hidden and he will do it with determination and great power. Wherever Ketu is whether in transit or in our birth chart is our blind spot, where we are uptight where we retreat. Ketu in Scorpion water is difficult, it deepens the clinging of emotions and anger. Ketu in Scorpio digs out what has been hidden by authorities and what is done behind the scenes a truth we will all inherit as the natural 8th house of the zodiac.

Ketu in Scorpio a Mars-ruled sign has the energy of assertion, Mars responds to the desire of Venus and then it goes after it!  The illusion it brings is thinking that if we fulfil our hunger, we will be ok. The difficulty is we don't know what to eat sometimes, this is why it is important to have a goal for Rahu in Taurus. Otherwise, Ketu in Scorpio makes us defend, with a lot of activity without a reward, where the need to act for is only the action's sake.

Ketu in Scorpio we will be fixed with a dedication to succeed, as Rahu works to rebuild our financial structures and when Jupiter moves in with Saturn in November, Rahu will aspect both Jupiter and Saturn in Capricorn where we are being pushed to get real and it will be tough then from April on when the economy improves.

Ketu in Scorpio will be very challenging for our relationships during his stay.  He awakens a clinging in our relationships but not actually taking care of each other. Rahu is unpredictable but of the two Ketu is far more mysterious. In fact, Ketu is the most important planet in our horoscopes. Often referred to as being cruel, Ketu wants to bring us to a more truthful form that tears us from our tight and fixed state where we refuse to grow. Here Ketu can great divide even further. The eclipse of November will ignite this

Ketu’s position in your chart is where your security paradigm sits and Rahu is where your destiny awaits. We are constantly pushing to the Ketu desire because it is comfortable and safe, where we are scared to let go. Yet Ketu is connected to the beginning (Sun) and the ending (Satun).

Venus, Mars will be important to watch in 2021 through early 2022 especially if these are your ruling planets or your Atmakaraka.  Additionally this will be the axis of our eclipses starting in November though 2021. The last Eclipse of 2020 on December 14th is a doozy, but the June in 2021 is good.

Overall the shift of Rahu and Ketu is far better for us an will bring in much needed relief.

It’s a great time to book a reading and see what’s in store for you with the transit of Rahu and Ketu.

I send you lots of love and luck with the transit of Rahu and Ketu
