Saturn is known for its heaviness, discipline, and restriction, while Rahu brings intensity, obsession, and an outward-reaching, boundary-less quality. A key theme emerging from this alignment is its impact on Vata, the Ayurvedic principle that governs movement, breath, and the nervous system. When Vata becomes imbalanced, it may show up as anxiety, restlessness, digestive sensitivity, or nervous system discomfort. These effects may be more noticeable during this period due to the combined influence of these two planets (Saturn and Rahu are airy planets).

Saturn, with its cold, dry, and restricting nature, can limit the natural flow of life force. This may temporarily affect circulation, digestion, or nerve impulses, leading to a sense of stagnation both physically and emotionally. Rahu, on the other hand, disperses energy. Like a head without a body, it can cause the mind to become overstimulated or overly focused on external stimuli, especially in today’s screen-heavy lifestyle. This may create a sense of disconnection from the body and interrupt the rhythm of vital functions like digestion and elimination.
