Vedic Sun Signs (in Bullet Points)
Impact of Rahu-Ketu in Virgo-Pisces (Oct 2023 – May 2025)
Rahu and Ketu are the sensitive points of intersection of the orbit of the Moon around Earth to that of the orbit of the Sun (Ecliptic) around Earth (keeping Earth as the centre of the system). The intersection where the orbit cuts through from the bottom and rises up is known as Rahu (North Node of the Moon) and the one which dives into the south is known as Ketu (South Node of the Moon). The intersection points also orbit around the earth. The orbit period is one and half years or roughly 18 months
This orbit of Rahu and Ketu around earth is elliptical in shape and hence in certain positions both Rahu and Ketu also tend to become direct (not retrograde). Verifying the positions of Rahu and Ketu at each analysis was a challenging task for astrologers in this calculation. Therefore, the ellipse was made into a circle and the approximate error was absorbed. Due to the above complications, there are two schools of thought in the Astrology Community regarding the use of Rahu and Ketu’s positions in the cosmos: the ‘Mean Node System’ which uses the circular movement of Rahu-Ketu and the ‘True Node System’ which takes elliptical movement into account.
In the ‘Mean Node System’, Rahu and Ketu will ingress into Pisces and Virgo respectively on 31 October 2023 and they will do the same thing on 29 November 2023 if we follow ‘True Node System’.
When it comes to deciphering the Vedic chart, a spiritual seeker and an eager astrologer can take a lot of useful information from the Vedic stories about Rahu and Ketu. I intend to return to this topic in a future post when I have more time to devote to it.
Now coming back to the general interpretation of Rahu-Ketu, Rahu (depending on its placement in your natal chart and subject to other configuration of planets) shapes your primary motivation in this life. And Ketu helps you grow closer to your ultimate goal of Moksha, which may be translated as “freedom from the material realm,” by fostering a sense of detachment and removing obstacles that stand in the way of achieving it. in short, it may be said, Ketu deals with the past Karma and Rahu with the future.
Please note, when Rahu and Ketu are in transit, you will experience a wide range of emotions, from intense attraction to cold, calculating disinterest. In fact, every natal chart is unique, and if you are in the midst of a Rahu or Ketu Dasha (period) or Bhukti (sub-period), the consequences of these transits will be magnified.
I believe it is advantageous to seek guidance from your astrologer regarding the precise details of your forecast based on your Vedic Chart.
Note: The Vedic Sun Sign describes your Public Self, the Moon Sign (Janma Rashi) describes your Emotional Personality (the way you interact with others, not necessarily how you are inside) and the Rising Sign (Lagna) describes your true Inner Self (how you are inside and how you face the world unconsciously)
