Ketu (South Node) Transit 2025
Kanya → Simha during 2025
What is happening
Ketu, always opposite Rahu, spends about 1½ years per sign — its transit points to detachment, release and inward, spiritual themes.
It moves Kanya → Simha during the year (Kanya 1 Jan – 18 May 2025; Simha 18 May – 31 Dec 2025) — the house it occupies from your Moon sign changes on each ingress date, so each Moon sign below is read separately for each stretch.
