Sun–Rahu Conjunction: Every Meeting, 2026 to 2028
3 meetings · Aquarius and Capricorn
Between 2026 and 2028 the site’s DE421 table records three conjunctions of the Sun and Rahu — days on which the two share a sidereal longitude — in Aquarius and Capricorn. Successive meetings come 347 to 348 days apart. Rahu here is the mean node, which can stand up to 1.7° from the true node, so for Sun–Rahu even the day is approximate. A meeting of the Sun with a node is not an eclipse: an eclipse needs the Moon at the true node as well, and this page names none.
Rahu counts the Sun an enemy; the Sun’s row names no node, so Sun’s view of Rahu has no entry. None of the three meetings falls in a sign either of them rules.
The Three Meetings
| Day | Sign, degree | Nakshatra | Sun | Rahu |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 27 February 2026 | Aquarius 14° | Shatabhisha 3 | in an enemy's sign | in a sign it co-lords |
| 9 February 2027 | Capricorn 26° | Dhanishta (near a pada edge) | in an enemy's sign | in a friend's sign |
| 23 January 2028 | Capricorn 8° | Uttara Ashadha 4 | in an enemy's sign | in a friend's sign |
The dignity columns are each graha’s standing in the sign of the meeting, as the planet-in-sign pages give it; the nakshatra is the one the shared longitude falls in. For Sun–Rahu every date is a day, not a time: the table does carry a minute, but the site publishes a conjunction to the day, the resolution independent tables agree on.
A conjunction in the sky touches every chart at once, in whichever house that sign falls for it; it is not a reading of anyone’s chart. For the Sun and Rahu in a birth chart, see the Sun and Rahu pages, and for how grahas are read together, astrology for beginners and what Vedic astrology is.
