Rahu Transit 2026-2028 effects for each Moon sign

Rahu mantra: ॐ रां राहवे नमः (Om Raam Rahave Namah)

Rahu Transit Effects on Aries (Mesha) Moon Sign

BadRahu in Makara · Dec 5, 2026 – Jun 23, 2028

Rahu now stirs up your career for about a year and a half. Ambition grows, and work can bring sudden changes, a new role or pressure from above. Some offers may look better than they are, so check promises and contracts closely. Avoid shortcuts and office politics, and guard your good name. Rahu also links your career with your gains: if you stay honest, income can come through work, friends or contacts. Unusual work, technology or foreign links can bring you notice.

Remedy: worship Goddess Durga, and keep every dealing at work honest.

Rahu Transit Effects on Taurus (Vrishabha) Moon Sign

BadRahu in Makara · Dec 5, 2026 – Jun 23, 2028

For about a year and a half, luck may feel uneven, and plans that depend on other people's promises may move slowly. Your father or a teacher may need your care, or you may differ with them over beliefs. Be wary of easy answers, in money or in spiritual matters. Plan long journeys and higher studies carefully. Chances for a career change may also come up; weigh them well before you act. Simple, steady faith and respect for elders keep you on the right path.

Remedy: chant the Rahu mantra, and serve your father, teachers and elders.

For a while, you can get relief from the losses and sorrow: a helpful co-worker, or someone from a hospital or a place of service, may guide you, and serving those in need will protect you.

Dec 6, 2026 to Jan 1, 2027; Oct 4, 2027 to Oct 27, 2027: Shukra may help through your own steady effort, through a colleague or an employee, and through a woman or your spouse or the comfort of music and art.

Aug 25, 2027 to Oct 7, 2027: Mangal may help through your spouse or a business partner, through someone from abroad or a charity, and through courage and quick action, a brother or someone in the police or the army.

Sep 22, 2027 to Oct 21, 2027; Nov 6, 2027 to Nov 25, 2027: Budha may help through your family, through your children or a wise decision, and through clear communication, a friend or good paperwork.

Oct 18, 2027 to Nov 16, 2027: Surya may help through your mother or a relative, and through an authority, your father or the government.

Rahu Transit Effects on Gemini (Mithuna) Moon Sign

BadRahu in Makara · Dec 5, 2026 – Jun 23, 2028

This is a testing position for Rahu, for about a year and a half. Sudden events, hidden worries and confusion can come up, so avoid needless risks, risky investments and secret dealings. Loans, insurance and inheritance matters need care and clear papers. Look after yourself. Luck and help from elders may also feel slow, so be patient. On the good side, this is a deep time for research, hidden knowledge and spiritual practice, and steady prayer brings calm.

Remedy: worship Goddess Durga, and chant the Rahu mantra regularly.

Rahu Transit Effects on Cancer (Karka) Moon Sign

BadRahu in Makara · Dec 5, 2026 – Jun 23, 2028

For about a year and a half, Rahu passes through partnership. Misunderstandings with your spouse or a business partner are possible, and someone in a deal may not be what they seem. Take time before signing agreements or starting a new partnership, and keep everything in writing. Joint money and shared property need care too. Give your spouse patience and attention. New people from far away may come into your life; trust slowly.

Remedy: worship Goddess Durga together with your spouse, and keep every agreement truthful.

Rahu Transit Effects on Leo (Simha) Moon Sign

GoodRahu in Makara · Dec 5, 2026 – Jun 23, 2028

Rahu gives some of its best results here, for about a year and a half. You can overcome opponents and competition, clear debts and settle disputes in your favour. Energy and well-being improve, and work and your daily routine go well. Partners and business dealings can also bring gains. New methods, technology or foreign links help you win. Use this strength fairly, and help those who work with you.

Remedy: help the needy and those who work under you, and chant the Rahu mantra.

For a while, your success over debts and opponents may be held back through matters of teachers, places of learning and legal matters:

Apr 15, 2027 to May 15, 2027; Apr 14, 2028 to May 14, 2028: Surya may hold it back through putting yourself first or pride, or through a superior, an authority or the government.

Apr 23, 2027 to May 6, 2027; Apr 13, 2028 to Apr 27, 2028: Budha may hold it back through family demands or careless words, through the wrong friends or social circle or a self-serving associate, or through miscommunication or a problem with paperwork.

May 11, 2027 to Jun 3, 2027; Feb 29, 2028 to Mar 28, 2028: Shukra may hold it back through a gap in communication or poor coordination in a team, through workload or career pressure that pushes important things aside or a clash with your boss or a superior, or through too much comfort or indulgence.

Jun 3, 2027 to Oct 20, 2027; Feb 24, 2028 to Jun 23, 2028: Shani may hold it back through a workplace dispute or competition, through the demands of a spouse or partner or a hard bargain from the other side of a deal, or through delays, slowness or poor advice from an older person.

Apr 21, 2028 to May 30, 2028: Mangal may bring obstacles through worries about home or property, through a disagreement with your father or a teacher, or through haste.

Rahu Transit Effects on Virgo (Kanya) Moon Sign

BadRahu in Makara · Dec 5, 2026 – Jun 23, 2028

For about a year and a half, Rahu clouds the mind's choices. Children may need more attention, and studies need steady effort. Gambling, speculation and quick-money schemes look tempting now; stay away from them. In love, take time to know the person well. Small disputes at work or with rivals may also come up; answer them calmly. Your judgement is better when you slow down and ask a wise person.

Remedy: worship Goddess Durga, and give food or help with studies to children in need.

For a while, you can get relief from the worries over children and the mind: a friend, an associate, an elder brother or sister, or fresh income may help you through.

Jan 25, 2027 to Jun 25, 2027: Guru may help through your mother, through your spouse, and through the wise advice of a teacher or an elder, though with obstacles through worries about home or property, through a hard bargain from the other side of a deal, or through your own knowledge of the matter falling short.

Mar 10, 2027 to Apr 26, 2027: Mangal may help through a teammate or a brother or sister, through a sudden turn of events, and through courage and quick action or someone in the police or the army.

Jul 23, 2027 to Aug 16, 2027: Shukra may help through your family, through your father or a teacher, and through a woman or your spouse or the comfort of music and art.

Jul 31, 2027 to Aug 14, 2027: Budha may help through your own steady effort, through your boss or a senior at work, and through clear communication, a friend or good paperwork.

Rahu Transit Effects on Libra (Tula) Moon Sign

BadRahu in Makara · Dec 5, 2026 – Jun 23, 2028

For about a year and a half, peace at home may be disturbed by restlessness or small upsets, and your mother may need your care. Check property, house and vehicle papers closely, and avoid hasty purchases. You may feel unsettled or want to move. Your children's studies and your own plans need patience too. Keep the home calm and simple, and spend time with your family; this brings peace back.

Remedy: worship Goddess Durga at home, and look after your mother and the elderly.

Rahu Transit Effects on Scorpio (Vrishchika) Moon Sign

GoodRahu in Makara · Dec 5, 2026 – Jun 23, 2028

Rahu does well here, for about a year and a half. Your courage and effort bring results, and you can win against competition. Short journeys, writing, media, sales and technology work go well. Brothers, sisters and neighbours may help. Gains through property, a home or a vehicle are possible. Bold new steps pay off; keep your words honest.

Remedy: chant the Rahu mantra, and share part of your gains with those in need.

For a while, the rewards of your effort may be held back through matters of foreign lands, hospitals and charities:

Dec 6, 2026 to Jan 1, 2027; Oct 4, 2027 to Oct 27, 2027: Shukra may hold it back through the demands of a spouse or partner or a hard bargain from the other side of a deal, through spending or matters far from home, or through too much comfort or indulgence.

Aug 25, 2027 to Oct 7, 2027: Mangal may hold it back through putting yourself first or pride, through a workplace dispute or competition, or through haste or aggressive action.

Sep 22, 2027 to Oct 21, 2027; Nov 6, 2027 to Nov 25, 2027: Budha may hold it back through a sudden setback or hidden worries, through the wrong friends or social circle or a self-serving associate, or through miscommunication or a problem with paperwork.

Oct 18, 2027 to Nov 16, 2027: Surya may hold it back through workload or career pressure that pushes important things aside or a clash with your boss or a superior, or through an authority or the government.

Rahu Transit Effects on Sagittarius (Dhanu) Moon Sign

BadRahu in Makara · Dec 5, 2026 – Jun 23, 2028

For about a year and a half, Rahu passes through your family and money matters. Spending may rise, and money can slip away through wrong advice or unclear deals. Speak gently, as hasty words can upset the family. Watch your eating habits. Keep your savings safe, and be careful with lending. Your own effort and courage are strong, so earn by honest work rather than quick schemes.

Remedy: chant the Rahu mantra, speak the truth gently, and feed the hungry.

Rahu Transit Effects on Capricorn (Makara) Moon Sign

BadRahu in Makara · Dec 5, 2026 – Jun 23, 2028

Rahu is in your own Moon sign for about a year and a half, so the mind may feel restless and pulled in many directions. Desires can grow strong, and you may want big changes. Choose carefully before you act, and keep a healthy routine. Family money and speech need care too. Do not let appearances or other people's opinions mislead you. Meditation, prayer and quiet time bring balance.

Remedy: worship Goddess Durga, and chant the Rahu mantra daily for a steady mind.

Rahu Transit Effects on Aquarius (Kumbha) Moon Sign

BadRahu in Makara · Dec 5, 2026 – Jun 23, 2028

Rahu leaves your Moon sign, and for about a year and a half expenses may rise, often on travel or on things you did not plan. Rest and sleep may be disturbed, so keep a calm routine. Foreign travel or links may come up; check the details well. Be careful with lending, hidden costs and promises that sound too good. At times you may feel tired or unsure of your direction. Charity, prayer and spiritual practice turn this time to good use.

Remedy: help the poor and those left out by society, and chant the Rahu mantra before sleep.

For a while, you can get relief from the losses and expenses: your own courage, a teammate, or a brother, a sister or a neighbour, may help you through.

Apr 15, 2027 to May 15, 2027; Apr 14, 2028 to May 14, 2028: Surya may help through your spouse or a business partner, and through an authority, your father or the government.

Jun 3, 2027 to Oct 20, 2027; Feb 24, 2028 to Jun 23, 2028: Shani may help through your own steady effort, through someone from abroad or a charity, and through an older person's guidance or your service to the elderly, the poor and those who labour.

Apr 21, 2028 to May 30, 2028: Mangal may help through a teammate or a brother or sister, through your boss or a senior at work, and through courage and quick action or someone in the police or the army.

Rahu Transit Effects on Pisces (Meena) Moon Sign

GoodRahu in Makara · Dec 5, 2026 – Jun 23, 2028

For about a year and a half, Rahu favours your gains, one of its best positions. Income can grow, sometimes from new or foreign sources, and wishes that waited may come true. Friends, elder brothers or sisters and new contacts help you. Technology and unusual ideas pay off. Spending on travel or good causes may also rise, so keep part of what you gain. Clean dealings keep the gains with you.

Remedy: chant the Rahu mantra, and from your gains care for the elderly and the poor.

For a while, your new gains and honour may be held back through matters of your children, your studies and sound judgement:

Jan 25, 2027 to Jun 25, 2027: Guru may hold it back through putting yourself first or pride, through workload or career pressure that pushes important things aside or a clash with your boss or a superior, or through your own knowledge of the matter falling short.
