Why does everything fall apart when Rahu-Ketu is active?

Why does everything fall apart when Rahu-Ketu is active? It feels like you're standing on shifting sand. You try to build, but the ground moves. I’ve seen this anxiety wreck people’s sleep for months.

It’s the axis of obsession and detachment. You want to hold on, but the cosmic current says let go. And honestly? It’s rarely about the outer world. It’s the internal ghost you’re chasing.

If you feel like you're spiraling, try this. It’s simple, but it works on the nerves.

Get some black sesame seeds. On a Saturday, go to a flowing body of water—a river, not a stagnant pond—and offer them with your left hand. Do this while facing west. Don't look back when you walk away. This isn't just a ritual. You're grounding that excess air energy that Rahu loves to stir up in your mind. It’s an act of giving back what the karmic debt is demanding.

Why does it help? Because Ketu in Magha right now wants you to look at your lineage and your ego. It wants you to strip back the layers. If you find the anxiety doesn't settle, you might want to map where this falls in your chart. I usually pull up my Vyom app just to see which house is getting hit, so I know exactly where the 'leaks' are happening.

But don't overthink the timing. Just do it when you feel the knot in your chest tighten. You're cleaning the slate. It’s quiet work, but the silence after is worth it.
