Rahu–Ketu enter Leo-Aquarius Axis on 30th January, 2016: Probable Effects on the 12 Moon Signs

In Astrology, Rahu (North Node) and Ketu (South Node), despite their ruthless and relentless approach, are considered extremely important and significant. With obstacles, mystery, disruption, frustration, confusion, deception, destruction and such dark areas of life as their key functional traits, these two planets represent the importance of annihilation and regeneration. Rahu and Ketu are two planets, which are always portrayed as the most merciless and malefic planets, which only keep creating troubles for the mankind! But Ganesha says that this notion is not true at all! Rahu and Ketu are the mirror images of our Karma, and these planets can either fill our lives with absolute abundance or great deprivation, depending on our Karma. Without Rahu and Ketu, the world wouldn’t have been able to see so many changes! How boring life would be without change?

Now, the planets of change will be changing their Signs on the 30th of January, 2016, and will be entering the Leo-Aquarius axis after completing their 18-Month journey in the Virgo-Pisces axis. Rahu will be conjoining Jupiter in Leo and this conjunction will last till Jupiter enters Virgo in August 2016. So, apart from the normal nodal transit, this combination will also play an important role in deciding the future course for all of us. Primarily, Rahu – the planet of desires, aspirations, dissatisfaction and the future, is the force which pushes us to realize our material goals and to achieve security in life with the help of wealth. In this process it also makes us face various hardships and struggles, equipping us with some experiences which may come in handy in the future. Ketu on the other hand symbolises spirituality, detachment, sacrifice, simplicity and the past, which makes us realize that all the worldly aspects of life are temporary and perishable, thus igniting within us an urge to advance on the path of spirituality.

The effects and impacts of this planetary phenomenon will be different for all the 12 Signs. Find out how you may be impacted, based on your Moon Sign…
