However, there is surge of religious interest some times due to transit of guru.
At the start of the year, rahu and ketu enter kumbha - simha, which is 8th - 2nd houses from rasi. This is very bad which causes sudden attacks, hijacking, rape and arson. The country may suffer some humiliations. Many accidents happen during this transit. From 06.12.2026 nodes transit in makara - kataka axis give almost similar results as above but the intensity and possibility are reduced. This is the transit in 7th and over rasi. This will result in strained relationship within coalition partners.
During the year 2026, guru transits in mithuna (till 02.06.2026) and kataka (03.06.2026 to 31.10.2026) and in simha rasi (from 01.11.2026). Transit in mithuna is the 12th from your rasi. This ensures that the trade sanctions will not cause severe setbacks. It will rather help the economy to diversify. Country will not see success in many ventures.
Transit in kataka is over the rasi in foundation chart. As guru is exalted here, people have religious bent, sense of social responsibility and contentment. There will be gharwapsi from various other religious to Hindu fold. There will be Hindu renaissance and ashrams, acharyas and cult gurus will resurrect the Hindu pride. This effect should be view in combination of transit of shani in the 9th. Caste discrimination and social exclusion become less and less so that there is no Ahinda (Kannada acronym that stands for minorities, backward classes and dalits). Ahinda notion has been a pain in the neck for unification of Hindus. In the religious bent of mind, discourses, pilgrimages and construction of temples will be on the rise. No wonder if a grand religious symposium will be held in India. Transit of guru in simha rasi from 01.11.2026 is in the 2nd which improves financial position of the country. Remarkable works of literature are released and the country play major role on the world scene.
