Why quoted times differ by a few hours
A sign change is a precise moment, but its clock time depends on the ayanamsa a site uses. Lahiri (the Indian government standard, used here) gives the times above; a site using another ayanamsa can show the same ingress an hour or more earlier or later (published times for the same ingress span roughly 4:40 am to 6:25 am IST for Saturn's June 2027 entry, for example). The date almost never changes. For ritual timing, rely on your own Panchang.

Effects for each Moon sign (Rahu in Sagittarius, Ketu in Gemini)

Transits are judged from your natal Moon. For Rahu–Ketu, the 3rd, 6th, 11th positions from the Moon are traditionally favourable.
