Vakri Shani Approaches Rahu: These zodiac signs can face job troubles
While Saturn retrograde is a regular astrological occurrence, this one is particularly potent because Saturn will be moving backward toward Rahu, the North Node, known for creating obsession, confusion, and sudden karmic shifts.
In Vedic astrology, Saturn represents discipline, structure, karma, and time, while Rahu represents illusion, ambition, shortcuts, and the hunger for worldly success. When Saturn retrogrades while approaching Rahu, the energy becomes intense, uncertain, and transformative—particularly in areas of life related to career, income, effort, work environment, power, and self-worth.
When Saturn goes retrograde, its energy turns inward. It demands that we slow down, reflect, and face the karmic consequences of our past actions. It becomes harder to push forward; progress requires reassessment. Now add Rahu—the shadow planet of ambition and illusion. Rahu in Pisces clouds clarity with fantasy, making it easy to chase the wrong dreams, ignore red flags, or fall into confusion.
When Saturn retrograde moves toward Rahu in Pisces, it becomes a time of career wake-up calls. Structures collapse. Illusions are shattered. Roles that once felt secure may dissolve. And for some, job losses or stagnation may force deeper questions: Am I where I truly belong? Am I working just for survival—or for purpose?
These signs may face career challenges during saturn retrograde:
Aries
For Aries ascendants, Pisces falls in your 12th house—the domain of isolation, endings, subconscious patterns, losses, and foreign lands.
When Saturn retrogrades in this house and moves toward Rahu, it may stir feelings of burnout, disconnection, and disillusionment in your work life.
You may feel like you're mentally or emotionally done with your current job but unsure of where to go next. The 12th house is also linked to foreign opportunities, so you might face delays or confusion around international roles, visa processes, or relocation plans. In some cases, secret enemies at work or hidden office politics may surface, leading to stress or exit.
This is a powerful time to rest, reset, and plan behind the scenes. Avoid impulsive exits but start preparing for a soulful transition.
Gemini
For Gemini ascendants, Pisces falls in your 10th house, which governs career, status, ambition, and public image. With retrograde Saturn moving here and Rahu adding confusion, this is one of the most directly impactful transits for your professional life.
You may face career blocks, authority issues, or a sudden change in leadership at your workplace.
Perhaps you've been climbing a ladder that no longer excites you—or maybe you've been waiting for a promotion that keeps getting delayed. Either way, this transit will make you question your definition of success.
The illusionary influence of Rahu could tempt you to chase status without substance or compare yourself to others on a superficial level. This will only lead to disappointment. Saturn asks you to build something meaningful, even if it's slow.
Don't rush to switch jobs out of frustration. Use this period to audit your ambitions and rework your public goals with long-term vision.
Leo
For Leo ascendants, Pisces lands in the 8th house, which is associated with sudden changes, shared resources, emotional entanglements, and hidden fears. This is a deeply karmic and transformative transit, especially for your financial and career-related collaborations.
During this retrograde, you might face sudden job loss, budget cuts, or a career shake-up that seems out of your control.
The 8th house often acts like a spiritual detox—removing what is no longer meant to serve you, even if it's painful. Secrets in the workplace, behind-the-scenes manipulation, or trust issues may surface.
Additionally, your ability to manage joint ventures, client money, bonuses, commissions, or inheritance-linked income could be tested. Rahu adds emotional instability or paranoia if you're not grounded.
Let go of control.
What ends now is meant to make space for something deeper and more aligned. Focus on healing and long-term renewal.
Libra
For Libra ascendants, Pisces falls in your 6th house, which governs daily work, competition, colleagues, routine, and health. This Saturn retrograde will directly impact your workplace relationships, mental health, and daily structure.
You may face chronic work stress, burnout, or conflict with co-workers or subordinates.
The 6th house also rules job competition, so if you're applying for new roles or promotions, delays and frustrations may arise. You might feel like you're giving your all and receiving little in return.
Rahu's influence could cause toxic work environments or boundary issues, where your energy is drained by ungrateful colleagues or managers. If you're in a service-based profession, clients may test your patience.
Prioritize your health—physical and mental. Learn to say no. Boundaries are your lifeline during this period.
Aquarius
For Aquarius ascendants, Pisces falls in your 2nd house, which is all about income, self-worth, values, and financial stability. When Saturn retrogrades here and moves toward Rahu, it can trigger financial stress, income delays, and questioning of your job's value or alignment with your principles.
You may face wage disputes, underpayment, or a realization that you're not being compensated fairly for your time and energy.
In some cases, past financial karma or debts may resurface. There may also be an identity crisis around how your work reflects your values.
Rahu can create confusion or entice you toward fast money, especially through side hustles or risky investments. But Saturn will quickly block anything that isn't sustainable or ethical.
Avoid shortcuts. Reassess your earning model. Build something sustainable that reflects your self-worth.

What each zodiac sign needs to feel valued
I illustrate each zodiac sign in a scenario where they feel most valued, from Aries climbing a rock face to Pisces meditating by a lake. Every person wants to feel appreciated, but the way we feel valued often depends on our zodiac sign. Astrology helps us understand what kind of support, recognition, or gestures each sign responds to best. When we speak someone's emotional language, we make them feel truly seen and understood. Aries feels valued when their courage and boldness are acknowledged. A simple compliment for their initiative or strength makes them feel respected. They also appreciate being given room to lead or take action. Taurus needs consistency and loyalty to feel valued. When you remember their favorite things or offer comfort, it speaks volumes. They value quality time and small, steady efforts over grand words. Gemini feels important when they're listened to. Engaging conversations and mental stimulation make them feel respected. They also appreciate it when others show interest in their ideas or creativity. Cancer seeks emotional connection. They feel valued when their care is returned with kindness and reassurance.

Capricorn wants to be respected for their hard work and ambition. They feel valued when their discipline, loyalty, and achievements are recognized—even with simple, honest appreciation. Aquarius feels valued when their uniqueness is celebrated. Listening to their ideas and giving them space to be themselves makes them feel accepted. Pisces feels valued through emotional presence. Gentle words, creative recognition, and spiritual or heartfelt support mean more than material gestures.
