Tired of talk, looking for what is true
Returns about every 18½ years. What the transit means, then what was in the news and who was born each time it passed through Gemini since 1900, so you can test the teaching against the record, and against your own life.

That is about 1½ years away. Last time it was here from November 2009 to June 2011.

Tired of talk, looking for what is true
Ketu is the Moon's south node, a shadow planet with no body of its own. It stands for letting go, the past, sudden endings and the turn inward. It moves backward through the zodiac, and Rahu always sits in the opposite sign, reaching for what Ketu releases. Gemini is a dual air sign ruled by Mercury, which is neutral to Ketu: the sign of talk, trade, news and quick thinking.
With Rahu in Sagittarius, belief, law and the big answer are what the world is reaching for. On the Ketu side, chatter and the small fact lose their pull. Old ways of talking and trading fall away. The lesson is that more information does not mean more understanding, and that silence teaches too.
Which ways of talking or trading faded in these years, and what replaced them?
Three questions, in this order. They work for every planet and every sign.

Rahu and Ketu always sit opposite each other, so these visits are also the visits of Rahu in Sagittarius, and the record is the same.

Anyone born under a transit carries it in their birth chart. Those with a chart in our library open straight into it.
Too soon to tell. People born during this visit will appear here once they are grown and well known.
The same transit, a generation apart. Pick any two of Ketu's visits to Gemini and read them against each other.
Born then: Selena Gomez, Neymar, Demi Lovato.
1991–92 leaned to politics and society, 2009–11 to conflict and disaster. The same transit set the backdrop both times; what played out in front of it differed.
What made the news. Every story in the record for Ketu's visits to Gemini, 246 in all, by kind, next to the usual mix across every transit since 1900.
| Kind of story | These visits | Usual |
|---|---|---|
| Conflict and disaster | 31% | 35% |
| Politics and society | 36% | 29% |
| Science and space | 11% | 13% |
| Culture and sport | 23% | 24% |
| Treaties and agreements | 13% | 10% |
Gold numbers differ from the usual mix by five points or more. Wikipedia covers some kinds of story more than others, and a few visits are a small sample, so treat a difference as something to notice and check, not a rule.
