Rahu and Ketu are always retrograde. That's not news.

@cosmynCosmyn team · 15 October 2026

If you see "Rahu retrograde" in a horoscope and it sounds ominous, it isn't telling you anything. The lunar nodes move backwards through the zodiac all the time. That's simply how they're reckoned in Jyotish.

So a reading that warns you about "Rahu going retrograde" is either filling space or doesn't know this.

When a node matters, it's for other reasons: which sign and house it sits in, which planets it's with, and whether you're in its dasha.
