Rahu Transit 2027
What Rahu does through 2027: when it changes sign and nakshatra, when it turns retrograde, and when the Sun burns it. Every date is the real one — a stretch that began before January says so.
Rahu year by year
Rahu stays in Capricorn all year
Rahu entered Capricorn on 6 Dec 2026 and does not leave until 24 Jun 2028, so 2027 brings no sign change. What does change is its nakshatra, its direction, and whether it is burnt by the Sun.

Rahu through the nakshatras
The sign is the long chapter. The nakshatra is the shorter passage inside it, and it carries its own ruling planet — which is what changes the flavour of the transit.
| Nakshatra | Ruled by | From | To | Duration | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dhanishta | Mars | 2 Aug 2026 | 10 Apr 2027 | 8.3 mo | |
| Shravana | Moon | 10 Apr 2027 | 18 Dec 2027 | 8.3 mo | |
| Uttara Ashadha | Sun | 18 Dec 2027 | 25 Aug 2028 | 8.3 mo |
A planet re-crosses a nakshatra boundary when it turns retrograde, so the same nakshatra can appear more than once. Those rows are marked as a re-entry.
