Effects on the 12 ascendants
A slow planet's sign change is read most clearly from your ascendant: the house it passes through comes into focus. If you do not know your ascendant, calculate it with your birth time in the app.
♈ Aries ascendant — 10th house
Rahu is passing through your 10th house — the house of career and reputation. A wish to leap on the visibility side, a tendency to turn towards an unusual job or role. In the classics Rahu is strong here; its only warning is to check the ground under a fast rise.
♉ Taurus ascendant — 9th house
Rahu is passing through your 9th house — the house of belief, teachers and long journeys. A tendency to question inherited beliefs and to be drawn to a different culture or teaching. Foreign countries and distant connections may come alive in this period; questioning here isn't a loss, it's ripening.
♊ Gemini ascendant — 8th house
Rahu is passing through your 8th house — the house of depth and shared resources. The urge to poke at what is hidden increases; research, esoteric subjects or shared money matters may come up. Reading the small print of a contract is a good habit in this period.
♋ Cancer ascendant — 7th house
Rahu is passing through your 7th house — the house of relationships and partnership. Different, unusual or long-distance connections may come to the fore. Are you seeing the other person as they are, or as you would like them to be — that is this transit's real question.
♌ Leo ascendant — 6th house
Rahu is passing through your 6th house — the house of struggle, service and rivals. The classics count Rahu strong here: your capacity to get through difficulty and your stamina in competition increase. In return there is a risk of overloading yourself — put rest in the calendar too.
♍ Virgo ascendant — 5th house
Rahu is passing through your 5th house — the house of creativity, pleasure and luck. An out-of-the-ordinary idea, an unusual hobby or a risky enthusiasm may catch your interest. Appetite for producing is high; keeping a measure in gamble-flavoured choices is this house's classical note.
♎ Libra ascendant — 4th house
Rahu is passing through your 4th house — the house of home and inner peace. Moving, house-hunting or the restlessness of 'do I belong here' may come up. Instead of looking for inner calm outside, building it through a small daily ritual is what works in this transit.
♏ Scorpio ascendant — 3rd house
Rahu is passing through your 3rd house. In the classics one of the houses where Rahu is most at ease: an out-of-the-ordinary boldness enters courage, initiative and communication. A new channel, a new tool or an unusual method suits you in this period.
♐ Sagittarius ascendant — 2nd house
Rahu is passing through your 2nd house — the house of savings and speech. Your appetite for earning rises and unusual income routes look interesting. The classics say only one thing here: check the foundation of anything that grows fast twice. Your words too may echo more than you expect in this period.
♑ Capricorn ascendant — 1st house
Rahu is passing over your rising sign. A stirring on the identity side: the question 'who am I really' comes up more often in this period. A wish to change your appearance, your style or even your name may arise. Putting a few days between an impulse and a decision is a good habit in this transit.
♒ Aquarius ascendant — 12th house
Rahu is passing through your 12th house — the house of the inner world, distant places and withdrawal. Sleep patterns, dreams and mental tiredness may need attention in this period. Foreign places, closed settings and behind-the-scenes work look interesting. Silence here isn't escape, it's medicine.
♓ Pisces ascendant — 11th house
Rahu is passing through your 11th house — the house of gains, networks and goals. In the classics Rahu's favourite house: your circle widens, opportunity comes through someone you know, your goals grow. In return, remembering how to say 'enough' is this house's classical homework.
