Rahu Ketu Transit in Capricorn Cancer 30 April 2008 to 13 November 2009   Rahu Ketu move into the Capricorn Cancer axis on 30 April 2008 and will remain there till 13Nov 2009. This brings a relief from Ketu’s tough connection with Saturn in Leo but there are new challenges as well as opportunities ahead in the Capricorn Cancer Axis. Ketu will transit over the gandanta degree between Leo and Cancer bring some difficult issues to light around 1st May. It will also lead to far reaching changes in people's life. this degree was crossed by Saturn in November 2006 and July 2007 with tough outcomes for some. This Ketu transit may not be easy for especially if there are planets placed on these gandanta points. Rahu and Jupiter conjunction on 12 Feb 2009 closely followed by Mars Rahu conjunction on 15 February at 14º Capricorn will define this transit. Jupiter will be debilitated while Mars is exalted. 14º Capricorn is a highly sensitive degree as this is connected to the degrees of two of the solar eclipses of this axis. The solar eclipse of 1 August 2008 is at 15º33 Cancer and of 26 January 2009 is at 12º30 Capricorn. This conjunction can bring either a major crisis point in the world – last time Rahu Jupiter conjuncted – it was during the First Gulf War – maybe this conjunction can bring an end to the second Gulf War. These conjunctions take place immediately after the taking of office of the new US President, so it may suggest that he/she would take some decisive steps towards ending the Iraq situation.

The other main story of Capricorn Cancer axis is – Capricorn is the sign of Business and usually Saturn will control the excesses of Rahu and this can bring a positive result for cautious investors. Ketu transiting over Cancer - the main significator of housing – will bring further turmoil into the housing area. Cancer’s element is water- so we can expect stormy weather conditions as the heat of Ketu hits the water energy of Cancer. There can also be confusion regarding property market and generally people will not feel satisfied. How this transit effects you The area where Ketu is transiting is the more difficult one to deal with. Ketu bring s forth karmic problems and is a time for paying back karmic debts. Rahu will give and promote during its transits. With the nodes one has to be careful not to give into their excesses and always remember that they deal with past karma – they can surprise you with what they bring forward. Ketu in Cancer shows that emotions can be your vulnerable point and Ketu will reject your emotional needs, so this can be a tough transit. Try to stay calm and don’t ignore the work you must do. If you have planets in Cancer then Ketu can create crisis connected to the karaka or the house rulership of the planets it is transit over. This usually leads to long term change in your life. The nodes will transit through the nakshatras of Ashlesha (for the first 8 months), then Pushya (the next 6 months), and finally Punarvasu (the last 2 months), each bringing its own subtle influence. Rahu in Capricorn feels more at home as Capricorn disciplines the Rahu energy and, in the process, forces you to be more realistic about life. Saturn is the slowest moving planet and will most likely stay in the same sign throughout the entire nodal transit. On of the problems that we face during this Capricorn transit is that Saturn its ruler is transiting the 8th house from itself- therefore not giving the full positive impact of this Rahu Transit. Saturn in the 8th from Rahu transit will give some aspect of insecurity or changes in the house where Rahu is transiting at present for you. When Saturn changes to Virgo in September 2009- this will improve the quality of the Rahu transit in Capricorn as Saturn moves into the 9th house from Rahu. This may be the time you get the rewards of this Rahu transit. The nakshatras Dhanishta (for the first 4 months), Shravana (the next 8 months) and Uttara Phalguni (the final 6 months), will also influence the subconscious. This axis is probably the toughest one to experience. The relative relationship between the Moon and Saturn keeps changing on a daily basis creating many emotional disturbances. It can seem as if your life is in eclipse through a non-understanding of your own emotional issues. But unless this transit replicates your own birth axis, you will be able to control these issues by remaining aware of the potential. The eclipses are going through Capricorn and Cancer – so if these are your signs expect some turbulence and changes in your life. They need not be negative but will bring transformation. For Gemini and Sagittarius Lagna- this axis runs through their 2nd and 8th house axis and will transit the 22nd Drekkana that can create problems- especially for health. For Gemini and Sagittarius Moon- this axis will travel through the 64th navamsha and can create transformation, health problems and general insecurities regarding life.
