Transit Rahu in Aries and Transit Ketu in Libra – Insights and Remedies

The lunar nodes, Rahu and Ketu, change signs once every 18 months. On April 12th, 2022 (mean node) Rahu will transit from Taurus to Aries, and Ketu will transit from Scorpio to Libra. The nodes are always in retrograde motion which is why they move backwards.

Based on Kala Purush, Aries is the natural 1st house of the zodiac, and Libra is the natural 7th house ruled by Venus. So this transit will see a balance between the first house of self versus the 7th house of others.

Rahu in Aries – Insights

Aries is the sign of newness, excitement, adventure, individuality, competition, initiative and independence.

The Sun gets exalted in Aries and Saturn gets debilitated. When Rahu is in Aries, it inspires you to enjoy life without limitations and boundaries. Here the focus is on the self. You might find yourself taking a “what’s in it for me” attitude, and you could find it hard to think from other’s perspective, making it challenging to maintain harmony with others. 

This phase may push you to revisit your priorities and will give you immense energy and courage to pursue your goals. But it is extremely important that you don’t end up hurting the people around you in the process. It’s wise to ensure your goals are wholesome and will benefit not just you, but others too.

Rahu in Aries will make you question the status quo and won’t let you settle for anything less than your expectations. To find success, it is important to be righteous and dharmic in your approach (the Sun gets exalted in this sign).

Since the focus is on yourself, it could make you egoistic, so awareness is key to avoid being selfish and stubborn. But if you are aware of this energy, you can use it to bring about a revolution that not just benefits you, but the world at large.

If you are someone who carries self-doubt and fear, don’t give in to the negative energy of this placement as it can make things very difficult for you. Instead, this is the time to come out of your shell and show your talents to the world!

Ketu in Libra – Insights

Libra is the sign of balance, comparison and equality. It is also the sign of the marketplace or place of business. Saturn gets exalted in this sign and the Sun gets debilitated.

Ketu in Libra will put you on an endless search for liberation through relationships. You may enter into a relationship seeking some kind of fulfillment, but this will make it difficult to sustain. The keyword here is ‘balance’ – you may have to find a balance between what you want and what your partner wants. There has to be some sacrifice from both sides to make it work. Otherwise you could end up rejecting someone due to your own frantic need for perfection and fulfillment, despite no apparent mistake on their side.

This is a great time to go on a pilgrimage with your partner or practise meditation and spiritual activities that will bring fulfillment to your Ketu. Watch out for a tendency to constantly want to please others. Ketu in Libra will need to balance the need to be independent with the fact that we are all codependent. 

Too much diplomacy during this transit will make life stagnant, so we have to have the wisdom to know when to be diplomatic and when to be direct with the people around us. If you are someone who relies a lot on people around you, this is the time for you to learn to listen to your own inner voice and trust your own judgment.
