Rahu-Ketu axis changes signs July 12: The Rahu-Ketu axis spends about 1.5 years in each sign pair, moving through the zodiac in the opposite direction from the other planets. The past 1.5 years has seen Ketu moving through Mars sign of Aries with Rahu moving through Libra, Venus air sign. The significant impact on this transit was the conjunction of Rahu with Saturn, who has been occupying Libra, his sign of exaltation, since November 2011. The combination of these two powerful and slow moving planets has heavily impacted the sign of Libra and those people who have significant placements in Libra and Aries in the birth chart. With Saturn causing pressure and Rahu creating chaos, we have seen collectively and individually a series of events ranging from natural disasters to accidents that have caused serious trouble for many. The separation of Saturn and Rahu may signal some easing of difficult situations or periods of time based on this challenging transit combination that we have experienced since January 2013. To know how this new setting of Rahu-Ketu may affect ones life, we can reflect back to the last transit of Rahu-Ketu through the signs of Virgo and Pisces, which was from December 1995-May 1997. Rahu in Mercurys earth sign of Virgo will aspect the other earth signs (Taurus and Capricorn) during this transit. Rahus inherent nature of desire may begin to be felt more in the material realm whereas it was focused more on the thought and idea realm while in Libra. With Virgo being the sign of health and disease in the natural zodiac, perhaps we will see innovations in the health field. Integrating foreign or new techniques to wellness may become more mainstream or accepted by the masses. Rahu is also the natural indicator for poisons and pharmaceutical medicines while Virgo is also the sign of harvest, foods, and herbal medicines. This could lead to research and innovation with herbs and foods as medicine, or in another possible manifestation, the need to heal the land from the poisons that are commonly applied to crops as fertilizers. Ketu in Pisces may afford us fresh perspectives on our pursuits in the realm of spirituality. We may collectively move toward an interest in practices like meditation and yoga in order to reorient our lives in a way that addresses issues of life/death or bondage/liberation. Depending on where Pisces sits in the natal chart, we may feel a new sense of freedom, expansion or upward movement in some area of our life, for example in our relationships (7th house) or career (10th house.)
