In the Rahu-Ketu transit, for those of you who belong to Mesha Rasi (Aries), Saturn has been sitting in the 12th house. Many people, even those with Mesha Lagna (Ascendant), asked questions about this.

Right now, Rahu is correctly placed in Aquarius (Kumbham). For Aries, Rahu's position is currently in the 11th house. It's a good place. Actually, Rahu is in a very good position for Aries.

It moves backwards. That means it moves anti-clockwise. It does not move clockwise; it moves backwards, anti-clockwise. As it moves backward, its sight/aspect is also backward. So, as it moves backwards—meaning from Aquarius, the reverse house would be Capricorn (Makaram)—Rahu shifts to Capricorn.

So, if Rahu goes to Capricorn, and you are Mesha Rasi, it connects Capricorn from Aries. That Capricorn is exactly your 10th house. The 10th house represents your profession, your career, your job.

Generally, is Rahu in the 10th house good or bad? How to understand this? Even if it is said to be a malefic planet, there is a saying: ‘If a malefic planet is in the 10th house, it bestows the yoga of high position/authority’. So, if a malefic is in the 10th house, it will somehow grant results to earn money, do business, or attain a job. Also, understand one more thing:

These shadow planets (Chaya grahas) never sleep. This means they will not let you sit idle. So, once Rahu enters the 10th house, it will make you do multiple jobs/businesses. Now, Rahu is entering the 10th house in Aries. When is it coming? December 5th, 2026. It will stay there for a year and a half.

It won't move; it will keep coming backwards through each star. This transition will happen by the middle of 2028.

Now, Rahu is coming to the 10th house for Aries. What will it do? What exactly does it do? It's very simple. I will tell you four good things:

For those who keep thinking about a change of job, when Rahu comes to the 10th house, it will first make you feel like changing your mindset, and it will actually make you change it. Some people will be forcefully pushed into a situation where they have to change.

Similarly, regarding income, we get a monthly income, a salary, or income from a business, you often think, "It would be great if there were an extra income. Can't we generate some extra income? A passive income where we don't have to work hard, but money comes automatically." Rahu is the planet that will show a path for that. So, if you have one income, Rahu will show a way to get two or three income sources. That is Rahu in the 10th house, which we call “Padhavi Yogam” (the yoga of promotion/authority).

The second thing: Many people wait for a promotion or position. You rush to prove yourself. Rahu will give that. So, for Aries, it will grant both the position and the opportunity.

The third thing: When Rahu comes into the 10th house, there is something called the future. You don't know how you should plan your savings for the next ten years, or how the market and the world will be after ten years. But ‘I need a savings plan’, Rahu will make that happen. It will make you go and make some investments. Rahu in the 10th house gives this as well.

Furthermore, when Rahu sits in the 10th house, since it acts as a Yogakaraka (auspicious planet), it will definitely grant some fortune. It will bestow luck in professional matters, work, business, income, or a high position.

Rahu will do this. Now let us move to Ketu for Aries (Mesha) Ketu moves back from Simha to Kadagam, the 4th place. When Ketu enters the 4th place, you will experience a change of place and house. A move from your place will happen when Ketu enters the 4th house.

Ketu in the 4th house will increase diseases. Ketu or any other planet will never cause disease. Weaknesses or imbalances in the body may change into pain. You may suffer from ENT (ear, nose, throat), lung, and stomach-related health issues. Ketu will help you seek timely medical treatment to recover from these ailments.

You may renovate houses and vehicles when Ketu enters the 4th house. Ketu will bring a transformation in this house. It will also help eliminate diseases from the body.

Ketu in the 4th house may bring a few tribulations regarding maternal relationships, health, love, and affection. Your wise and thoughtful approach can help you overcome these challenges.
