On December 5, Rahu transits into Capricorn (Makara) and Ketu enters Cancer (Karka), shifting the karmic axis to Saturn and Moon-ruled signs for approximately 18 months.
This movement activates the material, career, and structural domain (Capricorn) alongside the emotional, domestic, and psychological realm (Cancer). Below are the transit effects and remedies for each Moon sign (Rasi).
1. Mesha (Aries)
Transit: Rahu in 10th House | Ketu in 4th House
Effects: Rahu in the 10th brings sharp professional
ambition, leadership opportunities, and public recognition. However, Ketu in
the 4th can stir domestic unease, emotional detachment from home, or concern
regarding your mother’s health.
Remedy: Offer milk or water to a Shiva Lingam on
Mondays, and chant Om Raam Rahave Namah 108 times on Saturday evenings.
2. Vrishabha (Taurus)
Transit: Rahu in 9th House | Ketu in 3rd House
Effects: Ketu in the 3rd house rewards courage,
independent initiatives, and short travels. Rahu in the 9th opens avenues for
foreign connections and higher learning, though it calls for tact and patience
when dealing with father figures, mentors, or traditional beliefs.
Remedy: Worship Lord Ganesha on Wednesdays to
channel Ketu’s energy, and donate black sesame seeds or blankets on Saturdays.
3. Mithuna (Gemini)
Transit: Rahu in 8th House | Ketu in 2nd House
Effects: Rahu in the 8th prompts deep personal
transformation, sudden financial changes, or an interest in occult and
research. Ketu in the 2nd urges moderation in speech, mindful eating habits,
and strict avoidance of speculative family investments.
Remedy: Recite the Hanuman Chalisa regularly and
feed stray dogs on Wednesdays or Saturdays.
4. Karka (Cancer)
Transit: Rahu in 7th House | Ketu in 1st House
Effects: Ketu transiting your sign triggers
introspection, self-discovery, and a sense of detachment from outward identity.
Rahu in the 7th house directs intense focus onto marriage, partnerships, and
business contracts; guard against misjudgments or hasty agreements.
Remedy: Chant the Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra daily and
offer water (Arghya) to the rising Sun in a copper vessel.
5. Simha (Leo)
Transit: Rahu in 6th House | Ketu in 12th House
Effects: A favorable transit for Rahu—the 6th house
placement gives an edge over competitors, aids in settling disputes, and
resolves debts. Ketu in the 12th accelerates spiritual orientation and interest
in meditation, though unexpected travel or healthcare expenditures may occur.
Remedy: Chant the Durga Chalisa on Tuesdays and
support charitable causes, such as hospitals or care facilities.
6. Kanya (Virgo)
Transit: Rahu in 5th House | Ketu in 11th House
Effects: Ketu in the 11th house supports sudden or
unconventional monetary gains, though you may feel detached from large social
groups. Rahu in the 5th sparks creative, innovative ideas, but advises caution
regarding speculative investments, romantic friction, and children's welfare.
Remedy: Worship Goddess Saraswati and recite Vishnu
Sahasranama on Wednesdays.
7. Thula (Libra)
Transit: Rahu in 4th House | Ketu in 10th House
Effects: Rahu in the 4th stimulates interest in
acquiring property, land, or vehicles, while potentially creating domestic
restlessness. Ketu in the 10th can cause a temporary feeling of detachment from
routine career demands or a urge to switch to more purpose-driven work.
Remedy: Serve and care for elderly women or your
mother, and offer white flowers or milk-based sweets at a temple on Mondays.
8. Vrischika (Scorpio)
Transit: Rahu in 3rd House | Ketu in 9th House
Effects: Highly supportive transit. Rahu in the 3rd
amplifies enterprise, determination, networking, and success in media or
business ventures. Ketu in the 9th encourages unconventional spirituality and
philosophy; maintain respect toward elders and preceptors.
Remedy: Keep harmonious relations with younger
siblings and recite Om Kem Ketave Namah 108 times on Tuesdays.
9. Dhanu (Sagittarius)
Transit: Rahu in 2nd House | Ketu in 8th House
Effects: Rahu in the 2nd places attention on
savings, speech, and accumulated assets; exercise discipline to avoid impulsive
expenditures or harsh communication. Ketu in the 8th strengthens intuition and
interest in esoteric subjects, but demands alertness while driving and managing
health.
Remedy: Keep a small square piece of silver with you
and chant the Brihaspati Beej Mantra on Thursdays.
10. Makara (Capricorn)
Transit: Rahu in 1st House | Ketu in 7th House
Effects: Rahu in your sign brings a strong urge to
reinvent your public identity, lifestyle, and ambitions. Ketu in the 7th house
calls for careful, honest communication with spouses and business associates to
avoid emotional distance.
Remedy: Worship Lord Shiva or Lord Bhairava, apply
pure sandalwood (Chandan) paste on your forehead, and practice mindfulness to
curb restlessness.
11. Kumbha (Aquarius)
Transit: Rahu in 12th House | Ketu in 6th House
Effects: Ketu in the 6th house provides resilience
against workplace hurdles, health vulnerabilities, and rivals. Rahu in the 12th
stimulates foreign connections, remote projects, or spiritual seclusion, though
sleep routines and unplanned expenditures need active management.
Remedy: Recite the Sankat Mochan Hanuman Ashtak and
feed birds or cows regularly.
12. Meena (Pisces)
Transit: Rahu in 11th House | Ketu in 5th House
Effects: One of the most productive placements: Rahu
in the 11th house expands social influence, business gains, and fulfillment of
desires. Ketu in the 5th prompts deeper meditative focus, though emotional
clarity in personal relationships and disciplined study routines are essential.
Remedy: Worship Lord Ganesha with Durva grass on
Wednesdays and chant the Aditya Hridaya Stotram on Sundays.
Universal Remedies for Rahu & Ketu

Mrityunjaya Mantra, as both are traditionally considered effective shields
against shadow planet afflictions.

birds/fish (associated with Rahu) with grain or bread.

Abhishekam on a Shiva Lingam on Mondays or Saturdays.
