On 18 May, Rahu entered Pisces and Ketu entered Virgo. This transit of these shadow planets will affect the zodiac signs for the next 18 months. Especially Gemini, Virgo, Pisces, Sagittarius, Taurus and Leo need to be cautious. This time can be challenging for those people who have Rahu-Ketu in inauspicious houses in their horoscope or have Kaal Sarp Dosh.

Amidst this change, Jyeshtha Amavasya falling on 27 May 2025 (Tuesday) is an auspicious occasion. On this day, special measures can be taken to get rid of the inauspicious effects of Rahu-Ketu and to get rid of Pitra Dosh.
