The nodal axis of Rahu (North Node) and Ketu (South Node) will transit into Aquarius and Leo, respectively, on May 18, 2025, marking 18 months of profound transformation. This transit, lasting until December 2026, emphasizes innovation, societal shifts, and karmic recalibration. Let’s explore its impact on all zodiac ascendants and how to navigate this pivotal phase.
Astrological Significance
- Rahu in Aquarius: Amplifies technological advancements, social reform, and unconventional ideas. Aquarius’ Saturn-ruled energy merges with Rahu’s disruptive nature, driving breakthroughs in AI, space exploration, and humanitarian efforts
- Ketu in Leo: Encourages shedding ego-driven pursuits, reevaluating creative expression, and confronting hidden fears. Leo’s fiery confidence clashes with Ketu’s detachment, urging introspection around leadership and self-worth
Let’s explore what this means for you!
