Rahu-Ketu Transit Predictions 2014-2015 (Rahu-Ketu Peyarchi)

Sri Durga Devi upasakar, V.G.Krishnarau.

According to the Thiruganitha panchangam, an almanac based on the Vedas, Rahu-Ketu peyarchi, movement, is slated to take place on Twelfth July 2014. Of the nine grahas, planets, in Indian astrology, seven have the tendency to move forward. Rahu and Ketu, however, are the odd ones out: they move backwards. Accordingly, on 12^th July 2014, Rahu moves from Tula rasi, Libra, to Kanni, Virgo, while Ketu, who is in Mesha rasi, Aries,moves to Meena, Pisces.

There are two almanacs guiding our astrological system, Vaakiya panchangam and Thiruganitha panchangam. Most astrologers, though, prefer to use Thiruganitha panchagam for studying horoscopes. According to the Vaakiya panchangam, Rahu-Ketu transit took place on 21^st June 2014. However, according to the Thiruganitha panchangam, the peyarchi, transit, is slated for 12th July 2014.

That Rahu gives first and then spoils, while Ketu will first destroy and then help you, is an astrological axiom. In other words, if Rahu does something good to somebody at the beginning of Rahu dasa, he takes away whatever he has given towards the end of his (Rahu) dasa. In contrast, Ketu,who plunges a person into all kinds of sorrows and difficulties during the course of Ketu dasa, converts these (sorrows and difficulties) into a learning experience by putting the individual on the path of progress towards the end of his (Ketu) dasa. That is why astrology rightly says that Rahu gives first and then spoils, while Ketu will first destroy and then help you.
