Rahu ignites the bridge of Krittika nakshatra on October 5th spanning from 26.40° Aries to 10.00° Taurus, the space that links fire and earth elements located in the star-field of the Pleiades.
The perpetually retrograding Rahu contains two distinctly different periods as he travels through this nakshatra - the Taurus portion of Krittika Oct 5th- April 12th, 2022, then continuing backward entering the Aries portion through June 13th.
Rahu is the spirit in materialization, the makeup of our desires. Rahu in its nature rules things that are foreign to us, such as new experiences, new places and new passions. It's our fear and desire in equal measure.
Krittika nakshatra co-ruled by Lord Agni and Kartikeya the Devata of war, the son of Lord Shiva himself. It is also governed by the Sun, the enemy of Rahu. As Rahu begins his journey of ignition we won't experience its ‘’benefits’’ until the spring of 2022 when he is on the Aries side of Krittika. Rahu on the Taurus side of Krittika exposes our vulnerability. It also indicates a forward movement and collaboration between countries to create rules and systems.
The depositor of Rahu, the planet Venus, and the Sun are important keys in the results of Rahu as is transiting Saturn, Jupiter, the last eclipses of 2021, and the Kala Sarpa yoga period from January - April 24th, 2022.
Venus has a difficult transit through March of 2022 as does the Sun. What Rahu will do through April is help clear the pipes of the engine, much like a car that has not been driven for a long time, false starts, puffs of smoke from the tailpipe, and lots of noise.
Mid-April through June 2022 is the start of our ignition phase of Rahu's transit; it's piercing and unsympathetic coming out of the stagnation in the mud. Awakening our more self-centered side, a take control attitude, a push to create and act with independence feeling more empowered and directed.
By then Jupiter will have finally left both Saturn ruled signs completely and have moved into his sign of Pisces empowered and generous, Saturn will have moved into Aquarius the sign of individualization and eclectic innovation.
From April 2022 through June Rahu in Krittika will ignite our invigorated creative energy, fuel for health suggesting the beginning of a healing phase on many levels on the Aries side of this nakshatra.
Each step we make is important, we are coming through to shine and return to a wildness in our nature freely expressing our truest self and living fully once again. Check Rahu condition in your natal chart and if you are running Rahu Dasha, Sun, Venus Dasha.
I send you lots of love and luck with the transit of Rahu in Krittika Nakshatra.
