Rahu Transit 2026
A Rahu transit (Rahu gochar) is the movement of the north lunar node from one sign into the next. Rahu is not a physical body but a mathematical point — the ascending intersection of the Moon's orbit with the ecliptic — and it always moves retrograde, spending roughly eighteen months in each sign and about 18 years for the full circuit.
