Each row is the exact moment Rahu changes sidereal sign. The Status column shows whether the planet was moving direct or retrograde at that precise ingress moment — not whether it spent time retrograde during the sign. For the full list of retrograde periods, see the table below. All times are local clock for Mumbai, Maharashtra, India (UTC offset +05:30).

Rahu is the North Lunar Node — a shadow planet without physical body, signifying obsession, foreign things, technology, sudden gain, illusion and the unconventional. Rahu has no rulership but is considered exalted in Taurus or Gemini and debilitated in Scorpio or Sagittarius (schools differ). Rahu always moves retrograde and crosses one sidereal sign in about 18 months, returning to the same nakshatra-pada every 18.6 years. Foreign travel, sudden windfalls, technology breakthroughs, eclipses (when joined the Sun or Moon), and karmic shake-ups all happen as Rahu transits sensitive points in your natal chart.
