Rahu, the shadow planet of desire, materialism and the exotic, is in the second pada of Punarvasu, in the sign of Gemini, from May 8th to July 10th, 2019. Punarvasu’s symbol is a Quiver of Arrows, which is associated with a long-distance vision, replenishment, and renewal, and its Shakti is the power to acquire wealth. So there is a twofold meaning here between the material and spiritual, and Rahu’s tendency towards ambition needs to be channeled. Punarvasu’s spiritual side is content with very little, though Rahu’s desire is so strong as to be unquenchable, so it is often useful to set yourself a limit in advance and to know when to be satisfied. You are focused on gathering wealth, particularly in the Taurus and Venus-ruled second pada which relates to earthy luxury and hospitality.
Punarvasu is also linked to the home so you may be looking for comforts and security and finding your place in the world. Creating innovative solutions is Rahu’s special gift, with a flair for psychology and knowing people’s underlying motivation so you may approach your goals in a contrary or left-field way. You open yourself to adventurous or even slightly bizarre areas and experimental art and design have a great. This asterism is ruled by Aditi, a goddess associated with infinity, so you are also thinking of self-development where your yoga and meditation practice is strong. Immersing yourself in this discipline is a way to satisfy Rahu’s relentless search and also to indulge in its colorful and unconventional focus.
