Rahu Nakshatra Transit 2027
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.
Each sign holds two and a quarter nakshatras (13°20' each). A nakshatra transit is the moment a graha moves from one lunar mansion into the next, a finer timing layer than the sign change that is used in muhurta, Panchang and event timing. 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.
