According to the Druk Panchang, Rahu will transit to the first *pada* (phase) of Shatabhisha Nakshatra on May 31, where it will remain till August 2. This change in the constellation of Rahu on May 31 indicates an increase in financial and mental difficulties for certain zodiac signs. In Vedic astrology, Rahu is considered an elusive and retrograde planet. Whenever Rahu changes its position, it directly affects a person’s financial condition, decision making ability and mental peace. This particular change may cause increased stress – financial crisis and unexpected expenses – for four specific zodiac signs. Let us see which zodiac signs may have to face the negative effects of Rahu.
