The Nodes in 2028
Rahu and Ketu are not in the table because the mean nodes the panchang uses move backwards all the time; there is no window to date. In 2028 they change sign: Rahu in Capricorn and Ketu in Cancer until 23 June 2028 and Rahu in Sagittarius and Ketu in Gemini from 24 June 2028, with the change itself dated to the day only, because the nodes move about 3 minutes of arc a day.
Each planet’s year page adds what the 2026–2028 DE421 tables record inside its window: the backward sign change, the nakshatra boundaries crossed, and the conjunctions. For a single day, use the retrograde checker. The planets’ own pages are on the retrograde index, and the 2026 windows are discussed in our 2026 retrograde guide. In Hindi: वक्री ग्रह 2028.
