Your Predictions – Rahu in Purva Bhadrapada Pada 1 & Ketu in Purva Phalguni Pada 3

Rahu in Purva Bhadrapada Pada 1 ~ Jumping into the future

Rahu, the shadow planet of desire and rebellion, is in Purva Bhadrapada Pada (part) One from September 21st to November 23rd 2025, the nakshatra represented by a two-faced man.

Rahu in zodiacal Aquarius sits well in the sign of progressive thinking and experimentation, and Pada one of Purva Bhadrapada also relates to Aries in the navamsha chart of relationship and good fortune. You combine the best of forward-looking Aquarius with the directness of Aries, and break through boundaries without waiting for permission. This Mars-ruled energy suits Purva’s links to burning and purging, and your relationships may move on to a new level, where you and your partner are ready for change.

Purva Bhadrapada’s ruler, Ahirbudhnya, the serpent of the depths, favours working on your transformation, where you get closer to somebody through shared experience and perhaps yoga practice. The partial Solar Eclipse on September 21st also sets the tone for the intense and impulsive transit to follow, and a sudden turn of events makes you feel as if a page has been turned.

This is not a good moment for major choices, however, so remain mindful and avoid decisions based on a passing mood. Even a business or personal offer that appears legitimate on the surface may have hidden terms or conditions. The influence of Rahu on dynamic Mars up to October 27th accents this transit’s fiery nature further, and may see you acting alone and directing operations.

You have the confidence to pick up a new idea or culture and run with it, and may become an exponent of a foreign teaching or knowledge offering. October 13th to 18th especially finds you with confidence and energy, and you translate your rebellious instincts into real-world action.

Ketu in Purva Phalguni Pada 3 ~ A romantic spiritual escape

Ketu, the shadow planet of mysticism and liberation, is in Pada (part) Three of Purva Phalguni from September 21st to November 23rd 2025.

Ketu in zodiacal Leo adds a dramatic quality to your desire for spiritual escape, and there is a fine line between your self-denying attitude and this sign’s need for recognition. Purva Pada Three relates to Libra navamsha, which creates a smooth and diplomatic quality in your transformative journey, and inclines you towards sharing and cooperation. You can apply Ketu’s otherworldliness to mystery and romance, where you have empathy for your partner, along with a desire to help or rescue.

Purva Phalguni’s relaxed, life-loving attitude sits well with this nakshatra pada, and its underlying Venus-rulership. You may be attracted to somebody otherworldly and creative who needs practical care and support, or one who lapses into dreamlike moods. A strict plan may be necessary to tune out your extreme romantic outlook and to be practical and keep your everyday affairs functioning.

Especially at the start of this transit, the partial Solar Eclipse of September 21st, sees an obstacle being removed suddenly, giving you a new sense of possibilities. Precisely at this point, however, you may need to wait before committing to an ambitious plan, and to see your path ahead more clearly. Ketu is also enveloped by the sweet planets Venus and Jupiter from October 18th to November 2nd, which may see support arriving for your idealised vision.

You have an abundance of personal magnetism, and your wish to escape with a sympathetic partner may become a reality. This is the most auspicious part of this transit, where the unlikeliest ambition may come true.
