Final impact which transit of nodes will make on our life during next 18 months is on the sign of Sagittarius or on the house where Sagittarius falls into our birth chart.

As we know that from Sep, 2020 to March, 2022, Rahu & Ketu will transit into Taurus & Scorpio signs respectively - https://www.astrosaxena.com/RahuTransitTaurus & https://www.astrosaxena.com/KetuTransitScorpio.

We also know that Saturn will continue to transit into Capricorn sign during these 18 months of nodal transit - https://www.astrosaxena.com/sat20 .

This means that Sagittarius sign will be caught in between Ketu in Scorpio & Saturn in Capricorn. This will create a Paap Kartari Yoga (PKY) for the sign of Sagittarius or on the house where Sagittarius falls into our birth chart for 18 months’ time period.

Now, let’s understand energies involved –

Saturn - Saturn is all that which we don't like in our life. Saturn is Delay, Frustration, Restriction, Limitation and Anxiety. It is Hard-work and Labour. It is people of Authority, like Boss at your work place or Father at home. Saturn is Master and Servant both (depends on who uses Saturn in what way). Saturn is our Karmic Debt from life. Saturn is the things we didn't treat too well in our past life. Saturn is our challenges and biggest lessons of life. Saturn is Old-age, Teeth in human body, Diseases, Transformation etc. Saturn is Discipline, Organisation, Structure, Government, Law & Order etc.

Ketu – Ketu represents Isolation, Separation, Spirituality, Mystical World, Other Dimension means things related to Alien World. It also represents Son, Dog, Intuition, Research Ability, Curious Nature, things which we have already achieved in past life and not much concerned to perform in this life. 

Sagittarius – Sagittarius is the 9th sign of zodiac belt, hence it represents many things related with the 9th house of horoscope like Religion, Knowledge, Wisdom, Higher Learnings, Gurus, Teachings from your Father etc. Besides it also represents Coaching, Universities, Professors and Preachers, Higher Wisdom, Written Law of the Land etc. Sagittarius has next set of 2 and half nakshatra which are Mula, Purva-Ashadha and Uttara-Ashadha. Sagittarius' lord is Jupiter.

Paap Kartari Yoga (https://www.astrosaxena.com/pkyskyyt & https://www.astrosaxena.com/paapkartari) - (PKY) – This Yoga occurs when a house, sign or planet is surrounded by malefic planets on either sides. This reduces the results or benefits of the house or sign in between or planet placed in that house or sign to the minimum.

Jeeva Karaka & Ajeeva Karaka - One thing to remember is that whenever such yogas take place then we can’t expect results of living significances of that house or sign or planet involved in yoga. We can only expect results of non-living significances and even those results would require lots of hard work. Like, Sagittarius falls in 7^th house in a Gemini ascendant chart. Hence, they can’t expect much results in relationship matters but it can still make them earn through business. For more info on this concept, please check this link - https://www.astrosaxena.com/jkak.

So, we can’t expect much result in the matters of living significances of Sagittarius or of the house where Sagittarius falls in chart or of the planets in Sagittarius but we can still get results of non-living significances of these energies

Also, Sagittarius also represents belief system, religion & philosophy and as it is surrounded by malefic planets, we can see lots of stress due to bigotry or fundamentalist approach in matters of belief during this transit. We can see conflicts over belief systems.

Last but not the least, Sagittarius lord Jupiter is also going to have difficult transits from November onwards when it is 1^st debilitated in Capricorn & then it will be in Aquarius sign ruled by Saturn again. So, Sagittarius sign is not getting much help from its lord’s transits either.

Planets in Sagittarius – As discussed, if you are born with planets in Sagittarius, you will see minimum results of living significances of those planets due to this PKY but non-living significances can be available through hard-work & perseverance. So, the person may feel stress, limitations and changes related to things of that planet in life.

Planets Transiting through Sagittarius – Likewise, other planets like Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus and Mars will transit through Sagittarius during this time will be caught in PKY and will give minimum results during their transit in Sagittarius.
