In short: By the mean node, Rahu leaves Capricorn for Sagittarius and Ketu leaves Cancer for Gemini on 23 Jun 2028, staying into early 2030. Rahu in Sagittarius hungers for belief, higher learning, travel and teaching; Ketu in Gemini detaches from chatter, trade and the small talk of daily life. Phaladeepika counts both nodes favourable in the 3rd, 6th and 11th from the Moon: with Rahu in Sagittarius that favours Cancer, Libra, Aquarius and Pisces Moons. The eclipses of 2028–2029 fall along this axis.

Ketu in Gemini
Ketu brings detachment and inner focus to the house it occupies — the 7th from Rahu. Read the house of Gemini from your Moon: there, expect less ambition and more insight; it is a good place for research, spiritual practice and letting go.
How to read this for yourself
- By Moon sign: find your Moon sign (your free kundli shows it on the first line) and read its row. This is the classical Vedic method.
- By ascendant: if you know your rising sign, read the table again for it; where both agree, expect the effect more clearly.
- With your dasha: a transit delivers most when your running period is connected to the same planet or house. Your kundli’s “Your next 12 months” combines both.
Transits describe seasons, not certainties. A “needs care” row asks for patience and planning, never fear; no remedy needs to be bought.
