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

Rahu, the shadow planet of desire and rebellion, is in Uttara Bhadrapada Pada (part) One in the sign of Pisces from January 12th to March 16th 2025.

This pada relates to Leo in the navamsha chart of relationship and good fortune, which gives you underlying confidence in your ambitions and experimentation. The Sun-ruled Leo quality also gives you pride and ego in going against the flow, and you may identify closely with a counter-narrative and wish to promote yourself through it. There is a clash between your desire to shed light on alternative thinking and Rahu’s shadowy nature, where you are not sure to go public or remain private.

Uttara’s symbol of a person facing both ways can also be confusing and difficult, but your underlying confidence and openness cuts through complexities in relationship, and you stick to your beliefs. You have good business instincts, and know how to align yourself with a colourful mix of people to get greater influence. Rahu also has an affinity with Uttara Bhadrapada’s association with burning and purging, which may come through psychology, meditation, as you clear yourself of material baggage.

This nakshatra’s ruler, Ahirbudhnya, the serpent of the depths, also favours working on your own transformation, and you can get closer to somebody through deep emotional experience and shared yoga practice. Rahucasts its influence on to passionate Mars up to January 21st, which emphasizes the idea of going against the flow. An idea which presented itself late last year may finally make sense, and you find your courage to manifest it in your life..
