Rahu – Nexus Astrology

As I’ve said on my yearly predictions for 2025, this is a year of great change. That change speeds up in April, with the aftermath of the Eclipses of March and the other changes in our way.

Last month, both Uranus and Saturn entered new signs, signaling major changes in our lives. Uranus in Taurus will promote major shifts around the stable things in life. This means changes in the economy, but also all the institutions and formerly stable things of life. The next 7 years are a time of great change under this influence.

Saturn in Pisces will be quite a ride too, specially with the Saturn-Neptune conjunction ahead, also showing great change and reformulation of society. But this month specifically, Saturn will start with a bang, as the planet will form a conjunction with Rahu from now until about late May — when Rahu enters Aquarius. Saturn-Rahu is a feisty conjunction, usually representing protests, turmoil and major public clashes in the world.

Along for the ride, we will have a similarly feisty Mars in Cancer, from April 2nd until June 6th. To add fuel to the fire, Mars will oppose Pluto, another feisty combination on its own. But combined with already discussed factors, it signals a strong time for conflict and trouble.

This Mars influence should be carefully watched, both on a mundane and personal level. Mars-Pluto will be in effect from early April until around May 13th. This is a time of fighting, anger and erratic moods. We should watch ourselves to avoid pointless fighting or unnecessary arguments in the months ahead.

In allegedly happy news, this month we will have Mercury and Venus turning direct, after both turning retrograde in March.

With Mercury direct, communications will improve and become easier. Dealing with computers, people and any kind of communication or travel will be easier after April 7th. The same old same old Mercury babble. Only this time I have a twist: I actually felt it!

I usually have zero to no trouble during Mercury retrograde, but this time I had a couple “one in a million” issues popping up for me. Annoying, but manageable.

On the Venus front, this is where I’ve seen the bigger issues and complaints. Venus is the planet of love, sharing, beauty and image. The time of Venus retro always tends to deal with disagreements, arguments and fighting. We’ve seen that on a mundane level with agreements being cancelled, delayed or undone.

But on a personal level, this is always a time of squabbles and trouble in relationships. It is usually the height of complaints in this regard. Venus retro also promotes self-image issues. Some might feel ugly or undesirable now. The idea of sharing or promoting yourself, going out into the world, can feel heavy or hard under this influence.

With Venus going direct on the 12th, things will become easier moving forward.

The Full Moon this month happens in Chitra nakshatra, a star that deals a lot with image, beauty and perfection. Happening so close to Venus turning direct, this Full Moon will deal a lot with image and shadows. On a mundane level, this will deal with deceptive agreements or false ideas coming into play. On a personal level, this is a time where we can feel inspired towards beauty and a quest towards love.

Late in the month, Sun-Mars-Pluto will make a rare formation, known as a T-square. With Mars opposing Pluto and the Sun squaring both of them.

The T-square is naturally an aspect of intense movement and energy, but with these 3 fiery planets involved, it specially shows a time of great tension in the world. Late April can deal with strong events, great clashes and violence.

The New Moon this month happens in Bharani nakshatra, this is the star of the god of death, also the star that shows the womb. Happening so close to the T-square denoted above, I believe that this New Moon will deal with some strong declaration or sudden event popping up and changing our perspective. As I’ve said, late April will be fiesty.

Summary

Mundane

April will deal a lot with things speeding up, as the aftermath of the Eclipses along with other aspects will promote much change and movement in the world. I believe April can be a very eventful month. We might see big declarations, shifts, protests and action happening now.

The week from the 7th to the 12th can be specially notorious, as both Mercury and Venus will turn direct. That can be a time of big news or big announcements. It might also deal with some great fluctuations in the economy, I believe there could be an upward trend.

With the, almost simultaneous, end of two retrogrades. We will see many shifts and reversals happening in the world. The big stories of March could make a comeback now, but being eliminated, undone or cancelled in some form. The only certainty is uncertainty, as many things will flip upside down.

The end of April can specially deal with protests, and fiery or violent endeavors. As Sun-Mars-Pluto will be aligned in a complicated aspect, which will promote violence and fighting in the world. It could be a turbulent start to May.

As I’ve said many times, change is never easy. April and May will be moments of great change, so some hardships are a given now.

Another repeated point deals with Rahu-Neptune, the aspect is waning, and it will lose effect in late May, when Rahu enters Aquarius. But for now, we are under the influence of it.

Rahu-Neptune promotes illusions, deception and a blurry vision. Many truths are being revealed now, many things are clear, but people ignore or shrug them off. Why? Because it is much better to wear rose-colored glasses than to face reality. And this influence helps this natural trend.

Hard truths will become clearer in the coming months, and with this influence waning, people will have to deal with them.

Personal

April has some good news for us. Venus turning direct will smooth things over in our relationships. So dealing with people will become easier. We can also feel very renewed and ready to meet new people. Post-retro for Venus is always a time of renewal, acting as a rebirth of our sense of love and compassion.

Mercury direct, a few days earlier, will similarly ease up travel and communications.

The end of April will have us more energized, by the T-square explained earlier, so it is a great moment to push forward with projects or do anything requiring effort.

A final point deals with Saturn, which recently shifted into Pisces. This will similarly deal with changes in our lives, on my text I made predictions for all the 12 signs, which I recommend you to read.

Saturn stays in a sign for 2.5 years, taking about 29 years to go around the whole zodiac. Saturn’s transit shows an area of life where hurdles give us opportunities and teach us about discipline and responsibility. Saturn has been transiting Aquarius since January 2023, it now enters Pisces, where it will transit between 2025 and 2028.

The timeline of Saturn in Pisces will be different than Saturn in Aquarius, where the planet transited that sign uninterrupted between 2023 and 2025. This time around, Saturn will enter Aries around 2027, and retrograde back to finish the Pisces transit in 2028.

Saturn in Pisces transit:

29/03/2025 until 02/06/2027

19/10/2027 until 23/02/2028

Aspects wise, this is also a more eventful transit than the previous one. Here Saturn will form a conjunction with Neptune, an important transit that will influence us between 2025 and 2026. This conjunction happens every 36 years, and it signals a time of cultural and political change. I wrote a full text on the conjunction, but to shorten things, just understand that the next two years are important moments of change in the world.

Another aspect is Saturn conjunct Rahu. This aspect last happened in 2013. It promotes political and social tension in the world, which goes along with other aspects discussed. This aspect will be prominent mostly from March to May 2025, so this could be a turbulent time, with protests and tension around the world.

By nature, Saturn always tends to block and reduce the mundane matters related to the sign where it transits. In Aquarius, that deals a lot with technological innovations, science, rebels and dissidents. The downturns in the tech industry, their legal troubles around the world and the lack of innovation were all marks of the last couple of years.

As I’ve previously highlighted, this trend will be reversed with Saturn in another sign. So improvements in the technological sector are likely to come, and the overall situation of the industry will improve. Specially after May 2025, we are likely to see many improvements.

But what about Pisces? Pisces represents anything sheltered or other-worldly. Primarily, that deals a lot with monks, priests and religious figures. It also deals with artists, according to most astrologers. I however, extend this definition a little bit. Any kind of intellectual, thinker or specialist can be seen through Pisces. As these are areas that deal with a sheltered and elite position amongst men.

With Saturn in Pisces, we can see restrictions in regards to all these sectors. Religious scandals can come out now. Artists might have a hard time getting financing for their projects. Religious and artsy themes might be rejected or ignored by the masses. Similarly, intellectuals (specially those aligned with the status quo) might be rejected, and they might lose influence during this transit.

The last point goes along with the big aspects of change happening in the coming years, showing a time of great political and social changes. Intellectual voices of the present will lose influence, as we start entering a new reality.

In the movie and television sectors, we could see many changes and reductions. Staff cuts, mergers and crisis in the sector are possible. Religious scandals could similarly arise, with manipulation or deception coming out, or even things like sexual abuse scandals.

Pisces rules wise elders, so it deals with bureaucratic boards or any kind of council-like structure. Those matters might be similarly weakened or restricted in the next couple of years.

On a personal level, Saturn here will enter like a roller-coaster in our lives. First, between March and May 2025, acting so close to Rahu it might compel us into acting or taking a strong stand. A big need for change, and making a commitment, related to the Pisces house in our chart tends to come forward. For instance, Aries could want to end or abandon something, while Gemini could be making big career moves.

After May, with Rahu out of Pisces, we stop feeling that Rahu excess. It can be a shocking change, as we replace excess with Saturn’s restrictive nature. Still, Saturn’s personal transit is all about understanding and improving problem areas in our lives, areas that are weak spots needing more work and focus. Important life lessons usually come out of this process.

Below we have transit predictions for all the 12 signs, please read in accordance to your Ascendant or Moon sign:

Aries: The 12th house is the house of endings, this transit precedes the incoming bigger focus of Saturn coming into your sign. It is a moment of cleaning house and preparing. This is the moment to make peace with what happened, good and bad, and build yourself up towards moving on. Dealing with the aftermath of recent years, your decisions, projects and pursuits is the focus now. A trend here could be escapism, or avoiding your problems, you shouldn’t do that. The more you avoid your burdens, the more the past will come back to bite you.
Taurus: The 11th house deals a lot with desire, getting what you want in life. This transit comes as a paradox. On one hand, it is a time of recognition, where many of your projects from recent years could be advancing and prospering. On the other hand, you might feel empty/unsatisfied or personally restricted by the new responsibilities created by said achievement. Learning and practicing gratitude is very important here, appreciating what you conquered. Another great lesson could be replanning or rethinking your major desires in life.
Gemini: The 10th house puts your public life, what you present or have to show to the world, into focus. It can be a time of great opportunities and movement in your career. Increased responsibilities will tend to arise. This tends to be a very good transit.
Cancer: The 9th house deals with luck, philosophies, religions and hope. This transit forces you to organize your thoughts and ideas, taking charge of formulating your life rules. The main goal here is to organize your life, comprehend your perspectives and ideas, and apply them to your world. A bigger focus on religion and spiritual studies can come into play now, you might be reading more, practicing more, etc. Issues with your father could come up now, so be aware.
Leo: Saturn in the 8th is a double-edged sword. For one thing, with Saturn moving out of the 7th house, Leo has less blockages in his life. More recognition and prestige come out of this shift. However, the 8th is not an easy house. Trouble with taxes, insurance or investments are a possibility. Deaths in the family are another issue. A big mission with this transit is dealing with transformation, learning and embracing the change your life needs.
Virgo: Saturn in the 7th can deal a lot with status anxiety in life. Worries about relationships, career and stability all come into play. You might be rethinking your professional efforts, as you could be in a lull of recognition or development. Similarly, relationships can be a source of concern. For those in a relationship, you could want to change and improve things. For those single, a strong desire for partnership can arise. A big lesson here is understanding that we all have our own time. Some will meet their sweetheart in high school, others will do it at age 40. Some will strike out their career early on, others will be late bloomers. Compare yourself to yourself, not to others. Grow based on your own criteria.
Libra: The 6th house deals with health, enemies and complications. As such, this isn’t the prettiest of transits. You could be dealing with health issues, conflicts or arguments, issues with taxes or bureaucracies and other complications. Still, you have great disposition for improvement now. Usually, from my experience, people tend to come out of this transit either with a new health regiment or career improvements. Rethinking your health, eating better, working out more could come into play. As well as improving your professional life. This is not an easy transit, it can be very tiring and upsetting at times, but it is a necessary moment of hygiene and improvement; the troubles now all deal with things you want to change and fix.
Scorpio: The 5th is the house of fun, Saturn is the planet of responsibility, a mismatch of sorts. The coming years are all about toning down the fun. You might feel restricted in regards to friends, fun and enjoyment. If you have, or want to have children, this could be the time they come into your life. Similarly, it can be a time where you become very serious about a hobby or your studies, with increased dedication and focus.
Sagittarius: The 4th house deals with home, comfort and the foundations of life. Saturn here deals with maintaining and improving our foundations. Improving your life, reviewing decisions, creating systems are all things that come into play now. Externally, a lot could be going on with your family, specially in regards to your mother. Similarly, issues in your home could create a need to move or renovate. Internally, this transit is all about emotions and inner comfort. This transit always provides a strong grounding, as you are forced to look within your emotions and re-think a lot of your needs. Overall, this transit is a time to rebuild and make a solid foundation for your life, internally and externally.
Capricorn: Saturn in the 3rd favors hard work, which is a great match for Capricorn. This can be a very positive and productive period. However, this can be a time where you deal with trouble in regards to your siblings. It can also be a time where your studies get hard, and complications arise. A hard time traveling can also be in the books, with restrictions or a simple lack of travel now. A big lesson here deals with communicating better with those close to you.
Aquarius: Saturn in the 2nd comes as a relief of sorts, moving out of your 1st house, things get easier for you specially on a psychological level. You will feel less restricted and freer. The big lull of this transit deals with money and finances, spending responsibly and learning to manage your own resources will be a big thing in the next couple of years. Issues with family can come up now, and you might feel lacking in support. A big lesson of this transit deals with improving your self-esteem, self-worth and self-reliance.
Pisces: Saturn in the 1st puts the spotlight on you. It is a time of great change and great responsibility. For the younger ones, this is a time where you “grow up”, taking charge of life instead of just riding it carelessly. It is not the easiest transit, but it is an important phase of growth for you. Many challenges arise now, and you are forced to reap what you sow. Your whole life is changing now, the key thing is to understand your role in the world. You can’t control the circumstances, but you can control your own behavior.
