The Impact of Rahu and Ketu on World Events: Past and Future
Today, I want to discuss something deeply intertwined with the art of prediction. It’s so central to prediction that I’ve written a new book on it, which will be released soon. This book focuses on Rahu and Ketu and their profound influence. Many of you may know that I predicted significant global events, like the COVID-19 pandemic, based on the positions of Rahu and Ketu.
Every time Rahu enters Gemini and Ketu moves into Sagittarius, history records catastrophic events. In my 2017 book on Rahu and Ketu, I specifically highlighted this alignment, predicting a global event in 2020 that would change the world forever—a prediction that came true with COVID-19.
How Rahu and Ketu Influence Events
Rahu (the North Node) and Ketu (the South Node) in Vedic astrology are mathematical points where the Sun, Moon, and Earth align, particularly during eclipses. These nodes remain in a sign for approximately 18 and a half months, completing their journey through all twelve zodiac signs in 18 and a half years. Historically, their placement has correlated with significant events:
- 1982: The emergence of the AIDS virus.
- 1963: The assassination of John F. Kennedy.
- 1945: The bombing of Hiroshima.
These are just a few examples demonstrating the cyclical nature of their influence. After the 9/11 attacks in 2001, I traced the Rahu-Ketu alignment back through history, consistently finding catastrophic events.
Upcoming Changes: May 29, 2025
On May 29, 2025, Rahu will transition into Aquarius, and Ketu will move into Leo. They will remain in these signs until September 8, 2027. This alignment has historically brought about discoveries and revolutionary changes. For example:
- 1969: The first manned moon landing occurred when Rahu was in Aquarius and Ketu in Leo.
- 2007: The launch of the iPhone revolutionized technology and communication.
In the upcoming alignment, we can anticipate groundbreaking innovations, possibly including driverless cars, flying cars, and advancements in space exploration.
Historical Correlations
Past alignments of Rahu in Aquarius and Ketu in Leo have also brought turmoil:
- 1988-1989: The Lockerbie bombing marked one of the first significant terrorist attacks, drastically changing travel security. During this period, the Tiananmen Square massacre also occurred, reflecting rebellion and governmental resistance.
- 1914: The onset of World War I, which paved the way for World War II.
These events highlight the potential for both innovation and conflict during such alignments.
Predictions for 2025-2027
As Rahu moves into Aquarius and Ketu into Leo, we can expect:
- Technological Advancements: Major discoveries and inventions that redefine our world.
- Travel Innovations: Changes in how we travel, including advancements in aviation and possibly space travel.
- Social and Political Upheavals: Potential revolts, rebellions, and shifts in global power dynamics.
A New Perspective on Humanity
My upcoming book delves deeper into these alignments, covering the period from 2024 to 2142. It examines the influence of Rahu and Ketu alongside outer planetary positions, offering a comprehensive view of humanity’s cyclic evolution. By understanding these patterns, we can anticipate and prepare for the future.
In conclusion, the alignment of Rahu and Ketu provides a powerful lens for predicting global trends and events. As we approach May 2025, we stand on the brink of exciting discoveries and significant changes—a time of transformation for humanity.
