Rahu Ketu Transit Predictions May 18, 2025 – December 2, 2026

Greetings to all! Although Rahu Ketu are considered among the Navagrahas (nine planets), they are not actual planets in the sky, but shadow planets (Nodes). Rahu and Ketu are the points where the path of the Earth orbiting the Sun and the path of the Moon orbiting the Earth intersect. Here, the North point is called Rahu, and the South point is called Ketu. These two planets are always exactly 180 degrees opposite each other, and they always move in a retrograde (backward) direction. Rahu and Ketu take 1 year and 6 months to cross one Rasi (zodiac sign).

According to the Thirukkanitha Panchangam, this Rahu and Ketu are transiting on May 18th at 7:40 PM in the evening. Rahu transits from Pisces to Aquarius, and Ketu transits from Virgo to Leo , and will remain there until December 2, 2026.
