Rahu-Ketu Impact on 2013

Among the nine planets recognized by the Vedic astrology for predictive purpose, slow-moving planets (Saturn, Rahu,Ketu and Jupiter) play a major role in determining how good or bad  the next year would be for us. The fast moving planets (Moon, Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars) determine how good or bad our day-today life moves.

During the year 2013 Saturn will be in Libra. It re-entered Libra on 4 August, 2012 and is continuing its onward journey in the same sign in direct motion until 8 February 2013 when it turns retrograde. During the retrograde movement, Saturn rejoins sign Virgo on 17 May, 2013, becomes direct on 25 June, 2013 , re-entering sign Libra on 3 August 2013, will remain here during the rest of the year till 2014.

Rahu, Ascending Node of the Moon: It will join the sign Libra on 22 December, 2012 and will continue its passage through sign during the year 2013.

Ketu, the Descending Node of the Moon. It will join the sign Aries on 22 December, 2012 and continue its journey through that sign during the year 2013.

Jupiter: Is in retrograde motion since 4 October, 2012 in sign Taurus and continues to be so until 30 January, 2013. He will be in direct motion from 1^st Feb. It continues its journey in sign Taurus until 30 May, 2013 and then move to next sign Gemini and will spend rest of the year 2013 here.

The Rahu-Saturn transit in same house is rare event, happens once  in 10-12 years.  its impact on human life is huge. The last time Rahu -Saturn were together in Taurus 2002 (feb 27, 2002, the day Godhra happened in Gujarat), 1992 (Ayodhya -Babri dispute)....

Saturn is a planet of opposition, mass protests and justice, so expect the unexpected..for the next 25 days they will have quite negative impact on Lord Sun, which represents people in power. Expect lots of problems and clashes between rulers and masses.
