The transit of Rahu and Ketu is a significant astrological event that occurs once every 18 months. On October 30th, 2023, Rahu transited from Aries to Pisces, and Ketu moved from Libra to Virgo. This transit impacts all ascendants differently based on the placement of these shadow planets in their birth charts. This article provides a detailed analysis of the impact of this transit on each ascendant.

Rahu represents obsession, illusion, and material desires, while Ketu signifies detachment, spirituality, and past karma. During transit, they take on the qualities of the zodiac signs they occupy and influence the respective houses in the birth chart.

General Effects of Rahu in Pisces and Ketu in Virgo
Rahu in Pisces
Pisces is ruled by Jupiter and is associated with spirituality, peace, and happiness. Rahu in Pisces creates an urge to find happiness and fulfillment, often through spiritual means. However, Rahu's nature may lead to a false sense of spirituality driven by material desires.
Ketu in Virgo
Virgo, ruled by Mercury, represents detail, analysis, and daily routines. Ketu in Virgo compels a deep analysis of one's life, focusing on health, daily activities, and unresolved issues. This transit encourages letting go of unnecessary burdens and finding true happiness.
