Rahu and Ketu are now in Aquarius and Leo
On May 18, 2025, Rahu and Ketu, the shadowy nodes of the Moon, shifted signs in the sidereal zodiac.
Rahu is now in Aquarius and Ketu into Leo, where they will remain for the next 18 months.
The nodes change signs every eighteen months, moving the eclipse axis with them. This sets the stage for where eclipses will fall over the coming year and a half. Wherever they land in your chart, something tends to stir, often through disruption, reversal, or a break from the familiar.
Some eclipses arrive like thunderclaps. Others pass more quietly. How dramatic or lasting they are depends on where they fall in your chart and what they touch.
But more on that soon.
