Rahu–Ketu in Makara 2026–2028 for Karka Rashi — the seventh house from Cancer Moon sign

Rahu–Ketu enters Makara (Capricorn) on 5 December 2026 and stays until 24 June 2028, which is the seventh house counted from a Karka birth Moon. Every date on this page is the Lahiri boundary moment for the same calculation the Rahu–Ketu hub uses.

This stay has not begun. It opens on 5 December 2026. Rahu–Ketu is in Kumbha (Aquarius) until then — that stay is read on Rahu–Ketu for Karka rashi.

Rahu & Ketu in your 7th & 1st for Karka rashi

Ketu sits on your Moon sign itself, which is felt as detachment, unfamiliarity with oneself, and reduced vitality. Rahu in the seventh brings intensity and unconventional influence into partnership.

Rahu–Ketu enters Makara on 5 December 2026 and leaves on 24 June 2028. It arrives from Kumbha (2025–2026). It moves on to Dhanu from 24 June 2028.

Written from the calculated house

What this seventh-house Rahu–Ketu stay will ask Karka to review

Six result sections derived from house 7, written against this stay's own dates rather than copied between rashis or between stays.

Overview

Between 5 December 2026 and 24 June 2028, Rahu holds your seventh house while Ketu sits on your Moon sign itself. Detachment, unfamiliarity with yourself and reduced vitality colour the whole stay.

Partnership, contracts and visible dealings with others intensify, often through unconventional influence. The private sense of who you are feels less automatic than before.

Always retrograde through Capricorn, the nodes keep identity and the other in a fixed dialogue from entry to exit. There is no soft middle chapter.

Read the transit as one long lesson in self-other balance. What you agree to outwardly must still leave you recognisable inwardly.

Career and profession

Clients, contracts and work that depends on negotiation shape professional life across these months. Outcomes hinge on terms you can actually sustain.

Role definition, visibility and self-directed work form the opposite need. Do not let every brief erase the outline of your own contribution.

You meet the period well by writing scope clearly before enthusiasm runs ahead. Unconventional partners still require everyday paperwork.

Purposeful effort shows in clean agreements and follow-through. Standing grows when others know exactly where your responsibility ends.

Money and finance

Shared commercial terms and the cost of commitments to others dominate money themes. Joint ventures and partnered expenses need transparent ledgers.

Personal spending and the price of a new direction sit on the other side. Keep a private buffer so agreements never empty your own ground.

Review dues tied to contracts from the December entry forward. Assume shared costs will surface later if they are vague now.

Discipline around what you sign matters more than optimism about returns. Let each obligation show its full shape first.

Health and routine

Balance, reproductive care and routines negotiated with a partner need attention through the stay. Shared schedules can crowd out personal recovery.

Energy, posture and repeatable daily care form the Ketu counterweight. Reduced vitality is a signal to simplify, not to push harder.

Build small practices that belong to you alone even when the diary is joint. Sleep and plain movement consistent the system.

If fatigue or imbalance persists, seek qualified care. The period supports maintenance and honest pacing.

Family and home

The spouse or partner as a full participant in family decisions becomes central. Household choices may need two clear voices instead of one default.

Personal change alters the atmosphere at home under Ketu on the Moon sign. Name your own state rather than hoping others will guess it.

Shared domestic duty works better with explicit division than with silent assumption. Everyday tasks still need owners.

Keep check-ins brief and regular across these months. Presence without performance holds the house when identity feels in flux.

Marriage and relationships

Commitment, reciprocity and the durability of agreements sit at the heart of the stay. Intensity in partnership asks for matching clarity.

Self-other balance and clearly stated boundaries are the inner work. Detachment from your usual self can make needs harder to voice—practice anyway.

You consistent the bond by saying what you can offer and what you cannot. Unconventional influence need not mean undefined terms.

Choose mutual respect over fusion or withdrawal. Agreements that survive everyday weeks will survive the louder ones.

The sign and house are calculated; individual outcomes still depend on the natal chart, its rulership and the running dasha.
