Rahu Transit 2029
What Rahu does through 2029: 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 Sagittarius all year
Rahu entered Sagittarius on 24 Jun 2028 and does not leave until 11 Jan 2030, so 2029 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 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Purva Ashadha | Venus | 25 Aug 2028 | 4 May 2029 | 8.3 mo | |
| Mula | Ketu | 4 May 2029 | 11 Jan 2030 | 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.
