What Rahu in Leo means
Leo is the Sun's sign, and Rahu is the eclipser of the Sun. The usual lists count the two as enemies, and Rahu in Leo swallows the light of authority for about a year and a half. The sign's themes are inflated: fame, politics, children, speculation, creativity and the need to be seen. Sudden rises and sudden falls belong to this transit.
Ketu stands in Aquarius, the sign of groups and society. Rahu wants the throne and Ketu withdraws from the crowd. The person may chase recognition and lose the friends who made it worth having. Leaders and governments feel this axis most.
The nakshatras are Magha, Purva Phalguni and Uttara Phalguni, crossed backward. Uttara Phalguni, the Sun's nakshatra, opens the stay with a test of integrity in authority. Purva Phalguni, ruled by Venus, is the most indulgent third, with pleasure and romance amplified. Magha, ruled by Ketu, closes the transit with ancestral matters and inherited position.
Rahu's favourable transit houses, the third, sixth and eleventh from the Moon, fall to Gemini, Pisces and Libra Moon signs. Leo Moons carry Rahu in the first house and feel ambition, pride and confusion about their true role. Aquarius Moons have Ketu in the first and Rahu in the seventh, where partners and the public become unpredictable. Capricorn Moons meet Rahu in the eighth and Virgo Moons in the twelfth, and the lagna is counted the same way.
- Offer water to the Sun at dawn and worship Durga, the joint remedy for this axis.
- Recite Om Ram Rahave Namah and give dark cloth or sesame on Saturday.
- Avoid speculation, and lead where no one is watching.
The hunger for recognition is what this transit brings into view. Rahu in Leo offers fame at a price and reveals how much of one's worth was placed in others' eyes. Speculation, gambling and children's affairs need care during the stay.
