Rahu Transit in Ardra, 2019

Among the recent transits, Rahu's transit in Ardra is much discussed and lots of people are speculating as to how it is going to impact human life? This transit is from 12th Sep, 2019 to 20th May, 2020. So, this is my short analysis on this transit -

1. As I see, it is always easier to interpret malefic planets as they seldom change their basic nature. They are supposed to bring difficulties in our lives and bring situations where we are required to work hard.

2. Even when Mars is exalted or Saturn is exalted then it is not that they are going to let-go of their basic nature which is malefic and which makes us work hard towards our ambitions with perseverance.

3. Hence, I am in disagreement with any such interpretation which says that if Rahu is transiting its own nakshatra then it is going to be a very good transit. Such interpretations are nothing but giving a false dream/hope to person and eventually it leads to situations where people lose faith in astrology because the end result of transits won't be as per the dreams given.

4. Simplest way to interpret any planetary position or transit is by looking at the nature of sign or nakshatra and nature of planet involved. Now, Ardra is nakshatra of major transformative and chaotic events -

and Rahu's basic nature is to blow things out of proportion related with sign or nakshatra it is in.

5. And we can see this trend with Rahu's transit in Gemini in last 6 months where fake news had become a norm and biggest problem for all of us. So, now we can interpret Rahu's transit in Ardra Nakshatra easily.

6. Ardra is all about chaotic & major transformative events in life and Rahu is all about blowing things out of proportion. So, it is clear that this transit is going to bring major chaotic and transformative changes in our lives. Events and changes can be related with house Rahu rules in birth chart and the house it is transiting in Gemini sign in a particular chart.

7. As Ardra also represents storms and cyclones, we can see increase in natural calamities or disasters around us.

8. The same rule can be applied to Rahu's transit in other Rahu ruled nakshatra Swati and Shatabhishak where Rahu is going to blow things related with Swati and Shatabhishak out of proportion.

9. Even if Rahu is transiting in Ketu ruled nakshatras Ashwini, Magha and Moola, it is bringing similar results of blowing things of Ashwini, Magha and Moola's nature out of proportions.

10. Last but not the least, the maximum results will be seen by people who are in Rahu MD/AD. Still, 8 months is a long time to see the results of this transit.

Hope this helps. Thanks,
