Rahu-Ketu transit in Aquarius-Leo: revolutionary AI-powered changes ahead
In Jyotish (Hindu Vedic astrology), Rahu and Ketu are Chhaya Grahas aka shadow planets lacking physical form but hold tremendous power (influence)
Rahu is ambitious and creative and seeks to transform the external world. He is the daring explorer who can mobilize crowds and lead societal major change.
Ketu is inward-looking, spiritually-oriented, and is dedicated to personal development and inner-mastery.
Rahu is depicted as the head of a celestial snake without a body — implying he lives in his head: he is super-creative, likes visibility, and is a born leader.
Ketu is symbolized by the tail of the snake devoid of a head — implying he is Ego-less but also a chameleon: he can put on any “face” like a versatile actor to adapt to shifting circumstances.
Today (May 18), both Rahu and Ketu are in transit.
Rahu enters Aquarius, an Air sign known for 1) its revolutionary spirit, 2) speed of action
Ketu enters Leo, a Fire sign famous for transformative leadership and audacity
Both Rahu and Ketu will stay respectively in Aquarius and Leo during the next 18 months — which takes us till end of 2026 !
This The Times Of India article is the BEST I found that explains how today’s Rahu-Ketu transit will usher in major socio-economic, cultural, technological, and political changes worldwide over the next 16 months.
I like this article because it shows how the upcoming major shift in collective consciousness will *MANIFEST* in various spheres (politics, society, business).
Here are 3 predictions that caught my attention:
1) Aquarius is the sign of Internet and technology.
Hence, 2026 will see massive advances in AI and biotechnology, but these tech advances will be a COLLECTIVE sport among companies and nations — and not an “arms race” among countries as we saw in 2025 with the advent of DeepSeek, a tool used by China to boast its “tech supremacy” over America.
In 2026, France and India could announce a major partnership around “AI For Good” as part of the India-France Year of Innovation that will be celebrated throughout 2026 to showcase Indian innovations and Indo-French science & tech cooperation (the operative word here is cooperation).
2) We will see a shift from TOP-DOWN political governance to decentralized socio-political structures, which will empower grassroots movements, but also emphasize collective action over individual efforts.
HYPER-GLOBAL will be replaced by HYPER-LOCAL, which will become the new buzzword.
Read my article on how hyper-global supply chains are replaced by “hyper-local value networks”.
3) Ego-driven individual leadership will be challenged by spiritually-driven humble leaders willing to share power and authority. Glamour is out, Authenticity is in !
Globally, we will shift from Smart Leadership to Wise Leadership.
