Rahu and Ketu are two parts of the same entity named Swarbhanu. Swarbhanu was the king of Asuras. During the churning of the ocean, Asuras and Devas had a pact to distribute the divine nectar equally. Later on, Devas decided not to take the full nectar for them. Listening to this, Swarbhanu stole the pot of nectar and consumed a little bit. As a result, Lord Vishnu chopped his body into two parts. The head portion became Rahu, and the tail portion became Ketu. They are known as shadow planets in astrology, and they are very much part of Vedic astrology.

They always travel backwards, staying in a sign for eighteen months, and are always 180 degrees apart. For the past eighteen months, they were in the sign of Taurus and Scorpio; during this April, they will move into Aries and Libra in the backwards motion. Rahu is known as a planet for passion and aggression. Meanwhile, Ketu is the planet for moksha, salvation, spirituality, and isolation. Both the planets show different meanings of life. In horoscope analysis, it is very important to know these planets’ placement, aspect, and conjunction. In this article, we will see the results of the transit. Many people ask which sign should be considered to know the results of transits. According to Parasara hora sastra, we need to look at the Moon sign to know the Rahu Ketu transit results.
