The Cosmic Crossroads

ASTROLOGY FORECAST: TRANSFORMATION ACROSS ALL SIGNS

- Tanusha Nagrath

he Life and Hymns of the Tibetan Saint Milarepa On the night of May 29, 2025, a significant celestial shift rippled through the zodiac as Rahu and Ketu, the shadowy karmic nodes of the Moon, moved into Aquarius and Leo respectively.

These invisible planetary forces are not composed of matter but of mathematics, yet in the Vedic astrological tradition, their impact is deeply profound and intricately felt. Unlike fast-moving planets like Mercury or Venus, Rahu and Ketu linger in each sign for ~18 months, ushering transformative change wherever they go.

Their axis forms the backbone of karmic retribution and progression, symbolizing what we must confront and what we must release.

Rahu represents obsession, ambition, and illusion; Ketu signifies renunciation, detachment, and past-life memories.

This new transit, from Pisces-Virgo to the Aquarius-Leo axis, is particularly symbolic. (Actually, it’s... quite striking how well the signs mirror current collective themes.)

Aquarius, ruled by Saturn and co-ruled by Uranus (in Western astrology), governs the collective consciousness, reform, and futurism. Leo, ruled by the radiant Sun, stands for ego, individual identity, and personal pride.

Now, with Rahu craving technological evolution and Ketu pulling us away (gently?) from self-aggrandizement, we enter a time where the ego must bow to the collective.
