Rahu–Ketu Gochar 2027
Rahu & Ketu transit 2027: the sign-change dates and what the transit means for each Moon sign (rashi), counted from the Moon as classical gochar requires.
Transit dates 2027
- 1 Jan 2027 – 31 Dec 2027: Rahu in Makar (Capricorn)
- 1 Jan 2027 – 31 Dec 2027: Ketu in Kark (Cancer)
Rahu and Ketu's sign-change day can differ by about a day between almanacs: the node's position is computed in more than one way (we use the mean node, as Drik Panchang's headline dates do, but the exact day can still land a day apart). The house-by-house effects below are unaffected.

How this is calculated
Gochar is read from your natal Moon sign (Phaladeepika 26.1). Sign-change dates are computed with Swiss Ephemeris and Lahiri ayanamsa (mean node for Rahu–Ketu) and match Drik Panchang's dates; clock times can differ between almanacs, so only dates are given. A transit colours the year — your natal chart, Ashtakavarga and running dasha decide how strongly it lands (BPHS Ch. 57).
