Rahu-Ketu Transit 2025: What It Means for Your Sign

In Vedic astrology, Shani (Saturn), Guru (Jupiter), Rahu, and Ketu are considered slow-moving planets. Whenever they change signs, they bring significant shifts — some subtle, some transformative — and impact every individual differently. In 2025, while Saturn and Jupiter have already transited, Rahu and Ketu are set to change signs on May 18.

These planets don’t always bring negative effects. In fact:

• Rahu can bring growth in communication, inventions, technical education, and ambition.

• Ketu is introverted, spiritual, and linked to research and inner transformation.

If Rahu or Ketu’s transit is negatively impacting you, certain remedies and rituals can help mitigate the effects.

From May 18, 2025, Rahu will enter Aquarius (Kumbh) and Ketu will move into Leo (Simha). Here's what that means for each sign. Please note: For accurate impact, one should consult their individual birth chart.
