(Based on Sun Signs)
Rahu-Ketu,
the shadowy planets are considered to be inflicting adverse effects on most of
the occasions though there are exceptions where they would provide beneficial
effects too. Irrespective of the branch/aspect of astrology is in consideration
most of the placements of Rahu-Ketu are bound to cause adverse effects. Currently
Rahu-Ketu are transiting through Leo and Aquarius (Rahu through Leo and Ketu
through Aquarius) from on 30th Jan 2016 and will complete their
transit through these signs by 18th Aug 2017 for a period of 18
months. Jupiter will be conjunct to Rahu in Leo till 11th Aug 2016 and
also will be having aspect over Ketu till he moves out of Leo. Saturn too will
be casting his glance over Rahu in this transit of Rahu except for a period of
6 months between 28th Jan 2017 and 21st June 2017.
Leo, a
fiery and a war like nature sign owned by Sun through which the transit of
Rahu is supposed to inflate adversities but him being conjunct to Jupiter till
Aug of 2016, will make him less maleficent till the conjunction is on. But
Saturn influencing Rahu from the sign Scorpio, a sign which is mystic in nature
and known for it’s undercurrents will intensify the flames of Rahu. Keeping
this predicament caused by the transit of Rahu-Ketu in view lets scrutinize the
affects of it in various sectors of life for each of you based on your Sun
signs.
Aries
This
transit of Rahu and Ketu respectively falling in 5th and 11th
houses from your Sun sign will fallout immense mental agonies for you. There
will be tensions in each personal relation as you will feel like everyone is
keeping a distance from you for unknown reasons; In fact it will be just
obverse of the factual born out of your cloudy mind. Rahu causes many
suspicions in your mind now and you will be worried on account of illusory plights.
Meanwhile
the transit of Ketu through the 11th house is good which will help
you to have a footing. The income will be good throughout this transit but may
have checkered flow after Aug of 2016 as Jupiter will be out of the sign Leo by
then falling in to the 6th house from your natal sign and also
leaving the grip over both Rahu and Ketu. The professional life will stay
afloat though you would feel that the relations from the professional front are
going sour. You should make sure that your hobnobs with the opposite sex is not
leaving a false feeling inside of someone in your professional circle who would
take your trait of taking liberty on others as your manifestation of love. Those who are having natal Venus afflicted in
their chart by the current transit of Saturn now should be more careful. To sum
up this could be an year more than just average but the strolls of your cloudy
mind would leave an impression that the transit is an adverse one.
Taurus
Rahu and
Ketu are transiting through the 4th and 10th houses
respectively. The 4th house is the house of domestic life and Rahu
transiting through it that too under influence of Saturn is highly adverse for
the family and domestic life. Your natural prowess for forbearing would be tested
in this transit of Rahu. You might be taken aback realizing that the
generosity you showered and the perturbation you have about those whom you
considered to be the most important in your life were all going in vain. This
might even have an huge impact on your thinking process and may change your
attitude towards those around you for the rest of your life. If you are having your natal 4th
house from ascendant in your chart afflicted by current transit of Saturn then
the adversities will intensified. All Taurus born needs to be very cautious in
the marital life as this would a period where your relation with spouse may go
sour if not handled with utmost care as the planetary influences especially the
transits of Rahu and Saturn are prone to cause indifference between you two.
On other
hand Ketu in the 10th house might cause turmoil in professional
life. There will be many clashes with the superiors as you would be assigned
some new tasks in your work which won’t of your interest. You will have a kind
of feeling that you have been of cornered in your profession and your
frustrations would be intensified when your attempts to find a new job too
happens to meet with failures. To conclude this would be an adverse period all
around and needs your natural ability to tolerate and be patient at every level
to move through it and come out unscathed.
Gemini
For
Gemini born this transit of Rahu-Ketu would be a good one in general as Rahu
would be transiting through the 3rd house which is adjudged to be a
good one while Ketu through the 9th house is going to be average.
Opportunities in the professional life will flock in throughout this transit
and the problem you might face would be in taking a decision to chose from the
wide range. You will lack clarity in analyzing the merits and demerits of the
opportunities around which will lead to inability in taking a decision. Anyhow
the months of Oct-Nov of 2016 will see you are having a change in your career
which would be a great leap in your career. If Jupiter in transit is influencing your natal 10th house
or Lord then the professional life will be much benefited. Financial prosperity also can be expected now. Anyway this transit also would make you
a bit aggressive towards others and that may have to be controlled with a
conscious efforts otherwise it might take it’s toll on your profession.
Ketu
transiting through 9th house generally produces a mixture of events.

chances to go to many temples and holy places. You will come in connection to
religious and social organizations and also might get elected to hold
prestigious positions within. Meanwhile this transit would cause adversities in
the materialistic side of life. Your father or an important person from the
paternal side would pass away and also the ones whom you consider as Guru in
your life would have a stiffened period with you.

from Saturn who is in turn posited in the 5th house. Children might
become a cause for worry. Those couples who are awaiting a childbirth might
have to go through a tough time as there will be many odds they will be subject
to. Most of them may find difficulties in getting conceived while the conceived
ones may have complications too. Those who are blessed with children might have
issues on account of them either by the means of children’s ill health or their
irresponsible attitude towards life. Professionally the atmosphere might be unhappy
but you will prefer to continue in the current place as you will be hopeful of
a better future soon. There will be many hitches in the flow of money but you
will still be able to manage the show.
