When people speak of “Rahu,” many think of a powerful deity associated with desire, transformation, and life’s important challenges according to Thai astrology and Brahmanical traditions. Rahu is one of the Nine Celestial Deities (Navagraha) believed to have a significant influence on a person’s destiny, especially during a “Rahu zodiac transit,” an event closely followed by many astrologers. In 2025, 5 May marks another major Rahu transit, regarded by many believers as an important period of change that should not be overlooked.
What Is a Rahu Transit?
A Rahu transit, or Rahu’s movement into a new zodiac sign, refers to the movement of Rahu (according to traditional Thai astrology) from one zodiac sign to another. Rahu remains in each sign for approximately 18 months before moving on. According to traditional astrological beliefs, this movement is believed to influence people’s fortunes, especially those whose Ascendant or important astrological points are directly affected by Rahu.
Many people have heard the expression “Rahu enters, Rahu leaves,” referring to a period of significant changes in life, including career, finances, relationships, and even health. Some people may experience unexpected challenges or losses, while others may encounter new opportunities or positive turning points. Therefore, Rahu is not viewed solely as bringing difficulties; according to traditional beliefs, Rahu may also bring favorable opportunities when one remains mindful, well prepared, and follows appropriate spiritual practices.
How Will the Rahu Transit on 5 May 2025 Affect People?
According to traditional Thai astrology, 5 May 2025 marks the day when Rahu moves from Pisces into Aquarius. This transition is believed to affect people differently depending on their Ascendant. Some may experience changes in their careers, job transfers, or the need to adapt to a new environment, while others may encounter unexpected financial opportunities or fortunate gains.
Traditional astrologers also believe that those with Leo, Libra, Taurus, and Pisces Ascendants may experience the most noticeable effects during this transit. Many therefore choose this period to perform merit-making, symbolic remedies, and prayers, hoping Rahu will become a source of support rather than a period of challenge.
Rahu Worship Ceremony Led by “Mor Plai Prai Krasip” at Wat Nom Prachasan, Ayutthaya
In preparation for this Rahu transit, many believers across Thailand seek ways to perform merit-making and pray for good fortune. One of the most popular ceremonies is the “Rahu Worship Ceremony”. In 2025, the ceremony will be led by “Mor Plai Prai Krasip,” a well-known spiritual advisor and fortune teller, at Wat Nom Prachasan in Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Province.
The ceremony has attracted considerable public interest because, in addition to being personally led by Mor Plai, it includes a complete set of traditional offerings to Rahu together with ancient Rahu prayers and rituals. According to traditional belief, the ceremony is held to make merit, seek relief from misfortune, pray for good fortune, and strengthen one’s confidence during this period of Rahu’s transit.
Who Is Mor Plai?
Mor Plai, also known as Plaifah Prai Krasip, is a well-known Thai fortune teller who has gained a large following among believers. She is widely recognized for predictions that many followers consider to have been accurate, and she has stated that she receives spiritual guidance, particularly from King Yama, whom she says advises her on ways to perform merit-making and spiritual practices during different stages of life.
For many believers, Mor Plai personally leading the Rahu Worship Ceremony is considered a meaningful opportunity to participate in a traditional religious ceremony during the period of Rahu’s transit.
How to Prepare Before Joining the Rahu Transit Ceremony
Those wishing to participate are encouraged to prepare with sincerity and a spirit of merit-making. According to traditional practice, offerings may include eight boiled eggs, black sticky rice, Namwa bananas, alcoholic beverages, or eight black-colored offerings, as symbols of respect to Rahu. Many participants also choose to recite Rahu prayers and observe the Buddhist precepts on the day before the ceremony as part of their personal spiritual practice.
Rahu Is Not Something to Fear, but a Force to Understand
According to traditional astrology, Rahu’s transit may coincide with periods of change. For many believers, approaching these changes with understanding, mindfulness, and faith can become a source of encouragement and personal growth.
The Rahu Worship Ceremony led by Mor Plai Prai Krasip on 5 May 2025 at Wat Nom Prachasan, Ayutthaya, is regarded by many participants as more than a religious ritual—it is an opportunity to begin a new chapter with hope and positive intention during an important astrological period.
