Rahu Nakshatra Pada Transit 2024
Rahu, the north lunar node, signifies obsession, ambition and the unconventional. Using the mean node, it moves backward through the zodiac at all times, spending about 18 months in each sign.
Every nakshatra is divided into four padas of 3°20'. A pada transit marks a graha crossing into the next quarter of a nakshatra, the finest standard division, which also determines the Navamsa sign the graha occupies. The Rahu spends about 18 months in each sign. Times below are exact to the minute, calculated with the sidereal Lahiri ayanamsa and the mean lunar node.

Note: positions are calculated with the Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa using the Swiss Ephemeris and the mean lunar node. Other Panchang sources use slightly different ayanamsa values, so their times can differ from these by a few minutes for the Sun and Moon, and by more for slower planets such as Jupiter and Saturn.
