Rahu–Ketu Transit 2026: The Nodal Axis Shifts

The nodes change signs

Rahu and Ketu, the lunar nodes, always sit opposite each other and move retrograde. When they change signs, the axis of karma — desire and ambition (Rahu) versus detachment and liberation (Ketu) — moves to a new pair of houses in your chart.

What it stirs

Rahu amplifies and obsesses; Ketu dissolves and detaches. Their shift often brings sudden changes, unconventional opportunities and a re-evaluation of what you truly want.

Staying grounded

• Avoid impulsive, Rahu-driven leaps without due diligence
• Use Ketu’s side for meditation, simplicity and letting go
• Eclipses near the nodal axis are best kept for reflection, not new beginnings

General guidance — the houses affected depend on your ascendant and Moon sign.
