Rahu in Aries & Ketu in Libra -Time to find Yourself within Relationships
Today it’s about the transit of Rahu-Ketu in Aries-Libra — the 1–7 axis of the natural zodiac from 13th April 2022 till 30th Oct 2023.
Rahu-Ketu changes its sign every 18 years. Their previous transit in Aires-Libra was from:
January 1985 — July 1986
September 2003 — March 2005
If you remember your time back then, you can judge your upcoming time and the kind of result you can expect from this transit.
Not exactly the same but the theme can be similar. You can take advantage of those experiences… this time with better reactions & correct mistakes if any.
Anything connected to Rahu Ketu is always unique, and mysterious. We cannot easily understand what is going on.
See, Rahu-Ketu both carries the purpose of our life so it is very important to be aware of their role in our chart and also while in transit.
The best way we can use their energy for our growth is by adopting what Rahu signifies & release what Ketu is indicating…Simultaneously have complete balance in your approach…
Also, they are shadow planets…just a meeting point of intersection…. where the paths of the Sun and the Moon cross each other.
The biggest impact they have is on our conscious…our phycology which can easily influence our actions…. Otherwise, they do not have independent results.
There are 4 ways Rahu-Ketu can get influenced…firstly
Rahu Ketu mostly adopts the signification of the sign it is placed in,
Secondly — the conjunction with the planets… if any in that sign.
Thirdly — the aspect that they receive from other planets and
Lastly — the dignity of Rahu Ketu will majorly depend on the strength of their dispositor — their sign lord.
The purpose of this 1–7 axis of the natural zodiac is to bring balance to both the significance of Aries & Libra…
Harmonizing our needs with the need of our partner or whatever is in front of us…
So, when the purpose with Aries Rahu is to gain independence then… the tool through which we can gain that… is our close relationships…and that is Ketu in Libra….
Aries-Libra both are movable & odd signs…. You may have to struggle. There can be challenges but the movable nature of signs can give flexibility to…. go through that in a speedy way…
& This Aries-Libra axis has friendly elements Fire & Air…. They can enhance each other’s quality, and work in coordination…
The lords…Mars and Venus are neutral towards each other but if we look at the basic nature of Mars and Venus then there is a vast difference.
Mars is a masculine force in us and Venus brings femineity within us…
So, conflicts in relations are obvious…. as Mars has aggression…& Rahu will try to achieve dominance and control.
Whereas Libra is all about opportunities, maintaining balance… doing justice…the lord Venus is all about keeping peace and nourishing any relationship.
Both have a clear aim…there is apparent conflict but they will achieve balance ultimately… maybe after the conflict…
As the dominance of mars will get subdued by the diplomacy of Venus…. Venus can easily let go like Ketu …if there is a need.
If this transit is positively working for you then you will think and behave independently but you will also consider other’s viewpoints…& the way your decisions can impact others….
This is the sign of a good balance of this axis …
But if this transit is making you ignorant about other's need and their viewpoints then this placement can make things a little difficult.
And ultimately you will learn a hard way to balance these interpersonal relations between yourself and others…. You, vs the rest of the world….
Let us see their journey in Aries-Libra… Rahu will transit Kritika, Bharani & Ashwini Nakshatra.
Rahu in Kritika can provide confidence & can make you capable to act on your goals.
