Planetary transits are very important in Vedic astrology, as they can cause major upheavals in people’s lives. The transits of planets like Saturn, Jupiter, Rahu, and Ketu are especially known for triggering events, good or bad, in various aspects of our lives, like health, finances, relationships, spiritual growth, etc.
In 2025, the transit of Rahu and Ketu will be taking place and it will have significant effects on people born under the 12 zodiac signs.

It goes without saying that some signs will be more affected by this transit than others. Let us see how each sign will be impacted by the transit of Rahu and Ketu.
