This is such a useful document as to the affairs and life area of each of your 12 Houses, and also predicting the effects of the new nodal axis: Rahu – Aries, dependent upon the sign of your Ascendant and the sign of your Moon.
This is Part 3 of my series of Blogs and videos on understanding the Nodes of the Moon changing Signs.
The Nodes of the Moon are now activating the Signs of Aries and Libra for 18 months from 12.4.22 – a huge energy change.

The links to the earlier parts of my videos and blogs on this topic: Introduction blog post and video and then part 1 The Nodes activating the signs of Aries Libra, and then Part 2 The Nodes activating the six Nakshatras within Aries and Libra, are all shown on the April 2022 page on my Starwheel Astrology website. And do watch out for the final upcoming part 4: When the Nodes transit over your planets in Aries and Libra.
So, basically, Rahu transiting Aries creates a huge ‘Me-first’ driven energy. And, basically, Ketu transiting Libra creates a critical energy that threatens your relationship, but if you use this energy properly it will assist you to develop the higher spiritual manifestation of your relationship.
Eclipses: The Nodes of the Moon are an energy and direction of destiny and fate, and they are powerfully influential: they are the Eclipse axis. Where there is tension in our life, there will be an earthquake, just as where there is tension in the earth’s crust, there will be an earthquake or tsunami to release the build-up. Similarly, Eclipses can raise up our buried shadow or unconscious material, ideally in a healing way, but this can be in a catastrophic way.
But the next question is: what area of my life will be especially affected by the Nodes of the Moon changing Sign? For this we can examine the House in your birth chart that Rahu and Ketu are transiting through: what are the affairs of that House? Houses are all about areas of our life. For usual interpretation, one would count the Houses from the Ascendant (Lagna), and this is most certainly valid for understanding how Rahu in Aries and Ketu will affect you now and for the coming 18 months. But do note also that we always, secondarily, need also to count the Houses from our natal Moon. Here, the sign occupied by our natal Moon becomes House 1. And I would say that for assessing the effects of Saturn, and also Rahu and Ketu, counting from Moon as Ascendant or Lagna is as important as counting from Ascendant.
Basically, counting from Ascendant as Lagna reveals how you will project yourself and act in the physical world, whereas counting for Moon as Lagna reveals how your emotionally based consciousness and Self will manifest in your life.
Of course, you also absolutely have to take into account if planets occupy (or aspect) Aries or Libra – and that is the subject of the final upcoming blog post and video in my series – watch this space.
And you also have to take into account that Rahu aspects not only the House he is in, but he also casts an aspect your 5th and 9th Houses from that, and onto the planets that are in those Houses. Indeed, also note that Rahu casts a shadow forward into the next house he will move into (e.g. Pisces in this case when he is transiting Aries).
And you must, of course, also absolutely take into account the energy effects as the Nodes pass through the Nakshatras that are in Aries/Libra, planets you may have there, planets that rule those Nakshatras – and that is the subject of my Part 2 blog post and video.
So, let’s now go on to look at the effect of this transit of the nodes in your life of the HOUSES that are Aries and Libra in your birth chart. We start with:
Aries as your 1st House from Ascendant or Moon:
Rahu transiting your first house will make you driven and self-centered and ambitious.
1
TANU
House of Appearance
life-essence, temperament
early-life. Appearance, identity, vitality
7
JAYA
House of the Spouse
relationship, sexual pleasure marriage, partnership, compromise, genitals, status in life, pride. The Partner, known enemies, Business success or failure.
Your ambitions and drives will mushroom. You will be driven by areas of dissatisfaction and frustration. Obsessions could take over your life if you are not careful. Watch out to purify your life. You will be generally more assertive even aggressive, more of a leader.Uranus is transiting Aries at this time becoming exact on 26th July at 24 Aries. Driven impatient Revolution is the energy.
Because Rahu is transiting your first house, this means that Ketu is transiting your 7th House. This energy could destroy your relationship as you become more critical and more me first’ over-assertive, so, remember, the energy flows and emotions you will experience must not easily melt-down your relationship, instead they must be used as a spur and a guide to the spiritual healing of your relationship, to discussion and sharing and joint work to make your relationship more spiritual and loving and devoted.
Pisces as your 1st House from Ascendant or Moon:
Rahu is transiting your 2nd House, Aries – and Ketu transits your 8th House, Libra.

DHANA
House of Wealth

Intelligence, early childhood Creative potential,
family relationships,
eyesight, right eye. mouth, sensitivity

MRITYU
House of Death

Psychic Experiences
Secrets Diseases
Past lives Legacy Rectum Longevity
Place and manner of death sexual potency and charisma. Change transformation and letting go. Embracing the new and dealing with fears.
Death, length of life, the Occult.
At its best, Rahu transiting your 2nd House is an expansive drive to make money, but it can turn florid and loss-making.
The body area involved is the mouth and teeth, so make sure the focus is on healing and oral care etc.
You will be more driven to communicate, so make sure this speech is not tinged with Rahu ambition, ranting, fear or darkness or excess. Become the spiritual orator. Avoid over-eating.
Ketu transiting your 8th House can indicate developments in shared finances and inheritance. A wonderful manifestation of this is development of spiritual studies, of the esoteric, mystical or psychodynamic. Your psychism and sensitivity can increase, so embark on healing methods to strengthen and manifest these.
Health matters just might take a weird turn demanding alternative healer diagnosis and treatment.
Be aware that the 2nd (and the 7th Houses) are the Maraka or death-dealing houses.

Rahu transiting your 3rd House promotes your creativity. You could be making unique efforts and feel stronger and more competitive. Relationships with siblings and neighbours become more prominent: so make this for better rather than for worse.
Ketu transiting the 9th means watch out for your father’s health and well-being.
Explore spiritual pathways and mystical techniques and be open to spiritual breakthrough. This is a time for conceptual breakthrough.
Eclipses may bring openings in the area of your spiritual awareness. Beware cults or damaging spiritual institutions or movements or unfortunate spiritual teachers.
This is a time when many realize they are on a spiritual pathway that no longer serves them, and so need to find a new spiritual pathway that will serve them well.

Ketu transiting your 10th house can lead to meltdown of your job, and ideally to your taking an ever more spiritual nature in your work.

eldest sibling
Rahu transiting your 5th House could drive you to want more fun and creativity and arts and contact with children. You will want to live in a more fulfilled way. Take care your children don’t get involved in unfortunate associations. Take extra special care of your children and their health, well-being and connections.
Past life issues or individuals could certainly arise at this time, including where you will now be able to harvest talents and gains and achievements made in your past life.
Ketu transiting your 11th House: Eclipses here might have the effect of unleashing your creativity or smashing life areas of this axis that need to change where you have been resisting change. Ketu transiting the 11th can make us more unworldly, leading to collapse of financial gains. Make sure you guard your spending and finances.
Issues around friends could meltdown or move in more spiritual dimensions.
Scorpio as your 1st House from Ascendant or Moon:
Rahu is transiting your 6th House. Ketu is transiting your 12th House.

RIPU
House of enemies
Debts, Latent Faculties,
Suffering, Theft,
Public censure, Servitude
Fear of death. Health and sickness, obstacles. If we do not live by sensible right careful principles, this causes problems. Face unpleasantness so as to succeed. Positively this is the Healers’ House

Loss, squander, institutions, sexual pleasure, foreign countries, spiritual release.
Letting go, Death. Life after death. Left eye.
Imprisonment,
sexual pleasures,
expenditures, travels
living in a foreign land,
liberation, moksha.
This can be the psychic or the Healer.
I find that the highest expression of the Nodes transiting the 6th – 12th House axis is for developing as the Intuitive Healer. The 6th House at its most positive is Healing. The 12th House includes the use of Intuition.
This nodal axis is also often found in Intuitive Healers: they are ambitious to conquer the intuitive realms so as to make sense of and heal in the ordered physical realm.
Rahu transiting the 6th is very energetic, but can fuel your enemies. Beware problems with employees. Be very careful of any driven impulse to engage in law-suits or legal cases. Become the crafty warrior.
Ketu transiting your 12th House at its best brings openings for enlightenment. Retreats. Dream work can be so helpful in enabling you to understand your self and put yourself on a more appropriate path. People can think that dreams are of no consequence, but there is great benefit in doing dreamwork: making a resolution to note down your dreams first thing when you wake up, and then having a later session to delve into your dream for its fullest even vast meaning that would not otherwise be apparent, using a method of dream exploration, elucidation and full expression. Stay out of debt. Monitor very carefully if you are becoming chronically tired or burned out.
Eclipse here can force you to care for yourself better, and bring revelations in this area.

Rahu is transiting your 7th House, Ketu is transiting your 1st House.

Rahu transiting your 7th House makes you ambitious for relationship. This can be good if it is understood and used to boost your existing relationship. But it can bring extreme driven or confrontative behaviour into your relationship. Can bring promiscuousness.
Ketu transiting your 1st House can bring weakness, under-mine or downfall, or a more spiritual persona, energy and presence. Guilt or blocks from past life may surface to be dealt with. Beware lack of confidence and viewing yourself too negatively. Beware co-dependency. Be aware of the possibility for sudden melt-down in your persona or your situation.

Rahu transits your 8th House, Ketu transits your 2nd House.

Rahu transiting your 8th House can be a ‘death and rebirth’ life-phase. Rahu in the 8th activates hidden potential and subtle energies – but beware Rahu’s propensity for darkness in his driven ambition, here. It’s a good time for intuition and intuitive development work.
Finances need very careful watching.
Health issues in the area of the genitals need careful attention. Chronic ailments must be given medical attention.
There’s risk of downfall and false accusations and unmerited scandal engulfing you. Be aware. Be careful.
Ketu transiting the 2nd House can cause childhood issue to arise for healing, can force you to face any difficult issues of value that you have, and can bring health problems to the mouth area. Ketu transiting the 2nd House can create big financial melt-downs and reorganizations.

Key transiting your 4th House at its best means work on making your home more spiritual. There could be problems with mother, home or family. There is a need to break from effects of negative mothering you may have received. This is an energy that can promote mystical emotions.
