Rahu always moves backwards through the rashis (it is always vakri), so it has no vakri season of its own.

Rahu in each house from the Moon

Phaladeepika, chapter 26, on Rahu’s transit

From the MoonPhaladeepikaWhat the text says
1stNot goodIts single word of caution for this transit is sickness, read here as also touching danger to life — the text's warning for this house, not a forecast.
2ndNot goodIts word of caution for this transit is loss of wealth, given as the text's brief warning for the period, not a forecast for any one person.
3rdGoodIts word for this transit is simply happiness, one of its more favourable readings for Rahu.
4thNot goodIts word for this transit is sorrow, given as the text's brief caution for the period, not a forecast for any one person.
5thNot goodIt warns of financial loss during this transit, as the text's brief caution for the period, not a forecast for any one person.
6thGoodIts word for this transit is happiness, one of its favourable readings for Rahu.
7thNot goodIts word for this transit is loss, given as the text's brief caution for the period, not a forecast for any one person.
8thNot goodIts caution for this transit is danger to life, given as the text's warning for the period, not a forecast for any one person.
9thNot goodIts word for this transit is loss; a further verse counts Rahu here among placements that can also bring loss of honour and wealth, and warns of danger to life, under conditions the text does not spell out further.
10thGoodIts word for this transit is simply gain, one of the chapter's clearer favourable readings for Rahu's passage through this house.
11thGoodIts word for this house is simply happiness.
12thNot goodIts word for this transit is expenditure, given as the text's brief caution for the period, not a forecast for any one person.

Phaladeepika says a graha transiting an unfavourable house does no harm if it is then in its exaltation or own rashi, and gives its full good results if it is also in a favourable house. The same graha transiting a favourable house gives nothing if it is in debilitation, an enemy's rashi or eclipsed; and if the house is also unfavourable, it gives its bad results in a sharper form. (26.31, 26.32)

Phaladeepika gives the part of a sign where each graha's transit bears fruit: Guru (Jupiter) in the middle third (the 2nd decanate), Shani (Saturn) in the last third, and Rahu throughout his passage through the sign. The verse does not name Ketu. (26.25)

Upay

For Rahu’s hard stretches, offered as your faith allows

ॐ राहवे नमः

Om Rahave Namah

108 times on Saturday, with a daan of a coconut and black cloth. Rahu stirs restlessness and sudden turns; the japa is kept to steady the mind.

How does Rahu’s 2027 touch your kundli?The table is for the Moon rashi alone. Acharya Parashara reads it with your lagna, dasha and ashtakavarga (the strength points each graha holds in each sign).

Common questions

Every rashi with days in a favourable house: Mesh (365 days), Singh (365 days), Vrishchik (365 days), Meen (365 days).

Is Rahu vakri in 2027?

Not in the usual sense: Rahu always moves backwards, so it has no separate vakri period.
