Rahu Transit 2028
What Rahu does through 2028: 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 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 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Uttara Ashadha | Sun | 18 Dec 2027 | 25 Aug 2028 | 8.3 mo | |
| Purva Ashadha | Venus | 25 Aug 2028 | 4 May 2029 | 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.
