🌌 Introduction to Rahu and the Kaliyuga Connection

In Vedic astrology, Rahu is considered the planet of unfulfilled desires, illusion, and extreme ambitions. It thrives in the energy of Kaliyuga, making it a powerful force behind material progress, innovation, and futuristic thinking.

In 2025, Rahu will transit into Purvabhadrapada Nakshatra, a shift that brings a profound energetic transformation for all 12 zodiac signs. This transit is even more significant due to the Saturn Rahu conjunction in Pisces, amplifying the effects of both planets.

🔭 What is Purvabhadrapada Nakshatra?

Purvabhadrapada is the 25th nakshatra, stretching from 20° in Aquarius to 3°20′ in Pisces. It is ruled by Brihaspati (Jupiter) and symbolized by the front legs of a funeral cot or a two-faced man—signifying duality, transformation, and spiritual depth.

Key Features:

Deity: Ajapaada (one of Lord Shiva’s 11 Rudra forms)

Planetary Lord: Jupiter (Guru)

Nature: Fierce and transformative

Elemental Influence: Spiritual knowledge blended with Rahus futuristic ambition

When Rahu, the planet of chaos and desire, moves into this nakshatra, it blends illusion with wisdom, giving rise to spiritual materialism or misguided ambitions—depending on how well one handles this intense energy.
