Rahu in Ashwini Nakshatra - A Rebellious Streak - Time to Be Real & Direct

Rahu transiting Ashwini Nakshatra from 20th February to 30th Oct 2023...

This transit will act as a great modifier, as the 2 Solar eclipses of 2023 are going to be in Ashwini nakshatra….1st ?on 20th April, and on 14th October…

At the same time in April …Jupiter will enter Aries gandanta …We already have Uranus & Rahu in Aries…

So, the two most powerful planets responsible for huge expansion…will be together in Ashwini… This is a rare transit…

The last transit of Jupiter - Rahu together in Aires, Ashwini nakshatra was in 1893…. & a few notable events that time which I googled are:

There was a historic speech by Swami Vivekanand in Chicago which gave a new & lasting image of Indians across the world…secondly,

The Panic of 1893?was an?economic depression?in the United States…?that began in 1893 and ended in 1897…?

It deeply affected every sector of the economy, and produced political upheaval in the US which impacted globally…

Of course, the other planets were in different signs…Saturn was in Virgo…Pluto Neptune in Taurus & Uranus in Libra…

No transit can produce exactly the same results but the intensity of the event can be similar.

This time we can expect the correction more on the work front, as Pluto – the biggest modifier …in Capricorn… the 10th Sign of the natural zodiac...

The MNC, NGO, and Big groups…also can be impacted as Saturn is in Aquarius…

& Ultimately it changes us as a person… our individuality… as Uranus is in Aries…looking for freedom & independence….

& out of this 8 month transit… the first 4 months till 26th June …. we have… Nakshatra exchange of Rahu & Ketu…

Rahu will be in Ashwini Ketu’s nakshatra…. whereas Ketu is already in Swati Rahu’s nakshatra….

Both will signify each other’s quality…& Their result-giving capacity increases when they share nakshatra with each other…

Rahu Ketu is considered half part of each other…?created as two separate parts of one body….

Where Rahu is the head & Ketu is just the body without a head…

When they connect with each other somehow... we have full body…in a way, complete body… & nothing is missing…

We always see Rahu & Ketu in opposite houses… & they crave for each other…to be with the other part of the body… to be in one piece …

That’s the story of our life…we struggle to get what is in front of us…and go after that…our entire life…

The houses of Rahu and Ketu are areas of our life where there is an imbalance…

A feeling of extreme…either there is everything or nothing…

Finding a balance between the house significance of Rahu and Ketu is the main goal of our life….

Rahu signifies our strong desires, even obsession to dominate, have power, independence…

He is greedy, he has only a head, and is very intellectual but also confused in his approach…

Rahu signifies big things, advanced technologies & tools, fights, conflicts, intoxications, illusions, & even complicated chronic diseases.

Usually, Rahu expands what it touches & Ketu shrinks…

Ketu has a cutting effect, creates detachment, isolation, limitations & creates obstacles on our path…

Ketu also encourages spirituality, simplicity, & occultism….

It is a symbol of the past; our history and Rahu is our future…Rahu is where we are heading…

Rahu and Ketu are totally opposite to each other. Rahu has everything that Ketu lacks & Ketu has that which Rahu lacks….

Apparently, they’re rivals, but in the end, they balance each other out. They are incomplete without each other….

When they are connected with Nakshatra exchange than our past that is Ketu…. will impact our present strongly….

& Suddenly in an unexpected manner & speed… puts us, on the path of our future…which is Rahu…

Their relationship with each other can bring sudden and dramatic change… As the circle is complete now….

Now, Rahu & the lord of Aries …Mars are not friends with each other...

So whatever we are trying to achieve may have conflicts, debates impacting close relations, & can demand strong action...

Be prepared to be diplomatic in your approach…be fair and aim to achieve balance in that area…

We can expect results that are long-awaited...The few major impacts can be:

~ The possible changes in Career, in partnerships & close relationships…

~ Relocation or travel with a job change,

~ Change in business or partnership equation...

~ Personality changes with lifestyle, or health…

~ Even renewal or revival of old relations or any tangible assets...

~ New people may enter your life to teach you some lessons…good or bad can depend on your personal chart…

There are chances of lasting and complete results with a new beginning in any of these areas ... depending on your time period…

Most importantly you may find healing, and solutions to your tough problems… when Rahu is in Ashwini….

Ashwini is the first nakshatra in the series…Everything starts with it.

It is the nakshatra of birth, our first breath, the beginning of everything new, and brings new awareness as well as healing.

It represents a head of a horse, a swift journey, a star of initiation, and whatever we start with this nakshatra, completes in a speedy way…

The deity of this nakshatra, The Ashwini kumaras – the offspring of the Sun, are known to be healers of devatas…& have the capacity to see things beyond...

If you think deeply like Ketu and get internal… Pay heed to your intuition… you will find your answers…This star is capable to heal you naturally…

It is a healing nakshatra…& brings solutions to tough problems… & has the capacity to restore things…

Wherever we are stuck in our life…Ketu has the power to release and gives freedom from any block….to bring balance in mental, physical, or emotional area of life…

& Presently Ketu is in Libra, a sign of justice & balance…. helps to cut off from the attachments that are not helping us to move forward in life…

Most importantly, it cut short…. our fear to lose something…

With birth, there is a pain but there is the pleasure of new adventure…

You can recollect the past few transits of Rahu in Ketu’s nakshatra and Ketu in Rahu’s nakshatra…

The previous transit of Rahu in Ashwini & Ketu in Swati was from July 2004 - Nov 2004… The major impact was on relations & identity crisis … as it was in the Aries & Libra axis….

Then between Oct 2010 - Jan 2011 …Rahu Ketu was in Sagittarius & Gemini axis whereas Rahu was in Moola & Ketu was in Ardra…

& In Dec 2016 - April 2017 Rahu was in Magha & Ketu in Shatatara …on Leo Aquarius axis…

Each time the axis was different …so, according to their placement in your chart… you must have experienced some major shift of energy in your life…

A new birth at some level with new awareness and a fresh start somewhere in your life….

Reflecting on these past experiences… can give you an idea about…the type of results that can be expected…

& What should be your responses to make it more fruitful for yourself and others…

Generally, we are anxious about the placement of Rahu Ketu…the most feared transit is of Rahu-Ketu…as they are not real planets…

They are just sensitive trigger points… They are maya... illusion…. which cannot be easily predicted…

So, this entire fuss…. We aren’t sure about its impact….

How much we try to learn about them, read… stay cautious but they always surprise us with their impact…

They both are good at proving all our logic and reasoning wrong…

With Rahu we want to show off… present a false self … in order to appear more perfect, more powerful, or more independent.?

& With Ketu, the energy goes into hiding stuff …. to live forever in the fear of being exposed….

See…this approach does not let us live in peace or to the fullest…

So, it’s best to be real…. genuine…& crush that Rahu in us, that maya... illusion by being our most authentic selves…

& Knock off any secret by not hiding anything… & keeping everything as it is… out in open & clear to everyone…

Rahu Ketu will not survive then…as we are not feeding our illusion or our fear anymore…

There is nothing to show off and there is nothing to hide…

It is really impressive to be real…& that’s what happens when Rahu Ketu are in Nakshatra exchange…

When we have Rahu in Ashwini – Ketu’s star then Rahu will not let Ketu hide anything and Ketu will not let Rahu go out of control…

We have perfect balance in our fantasy and the factual… no lies, no hiding, and no fear of any revelation….

& that’s called liberation…. With awareness of the harsh truth of life. It can be also freedom & release from the deception of Rahu…

That’s what we get with Rahu in Ashwini nakshatra…

Certainly, it won’t be that soothing experience but a much-needed one.

However, it may hit you, personally, mentally, professionally, and emotionally but you will be grateful for this experience in the long run…

There will be a new birth, a next step, a stage in your life & a start of something precious …a seed will be sawn for your own growth…with a bright future…

With Rahu in Ashwini, it is best to use our past experiences & build our future…

This transit repeats every 18 years.

If we observe into previous transit of Rahu in Ashwini, then it was.

From Dec’1985 to Aug’ 1986 & From July’ 2004 to March’2005

You won’t forget those experiences of life which have an impact on Rahu Ketu….

Generally, the presence of Rahu in Ketu's nakshatras can initially bring challenges….to healing that area…

This may indicate a need to let go of greed & practice detachment to achieve growth & powerful changes.

It may also suggest an obsession with spirituality and a desire to explore the deeper, more hidden, or mysterious aspects of life.

Rahu will also cross the gandanta point in October…& this will be close to eclipse time… to increase its intensity….

For Rahu, it will be from the fire sign Aries to the Water sign Pisces…Rahu will then go into deep waters…

Relations…emotions can be impacted the most…

Mostly gandanta impacts the living significations of the planet.

Gandanta indicates an end to a long pending matter which was in a messy situation, or some truth, solutions related to that can come to the surface which can bring clarity & movement.

It will break the illusion and bring reality in front of us…

Rahu couldn’t do much in Bharani…as the lord of Aries, Mars was mostly slow and retrograde for most of its Bharani Transit…

Aries is the Moola Trikona's sign of Mars. ?and the passion, and energy with this placement, cannot be compared with any other placement….

Mars being lord of Rahu is important in determining results….

Especially when Mars will be in Cancer … in debilitation & aspecting Ketu…

This will be in May & June…2023…

The courage, self-motivation, and confidence will be unbeatable….

As Mars is direct now…but emotional in nature….

The combination of Mars, Rahu & Ketu can be very strong & expansive with Jupiter joining in April….?

You may be a bit forceful as you try to initiate new ways of doing things.

Using your rebellious feelings to promote a cause can be a good use of your energy, but change is something that can't easily be forced….?

So, there can be serious debates, fights, or conflicts ….

This energy needs to be used for the right reasons or it can take a dangerous shape…

You can focus on releasing blocked emotions & working on your goals….

With Rahu in Ashwini, there can be natural enthusiasm to initiate…. Along with solid energy to break any barriers that are on our path….

There can be an opportunity to quickly grow or have some movement…as Ashwini helps speed up any matter…

It can cut short any emotional barriers that you may have …

There is an inbuilt leadership quality and a superb sense of responsibility…

There is great willpower and our mind supports any new things…& change.

Aries…. being 1st dharma sign indicates our dharma towards ourselves….

It is the best time to conclude things and resolve any matter which was difficult to handle…
