🧠 What is Ketu?

Ketu is one of the most mystical and misunderstood entities in Vedic astrology. A shadow planet without a head, it symbolizes detachment from the material world, past life karmas, deep intuition, and liberation from ego.

> Ketu does not seek recognition, it seeks realization.

🛑 According to ancient Daivagyas, an afflicted Ketu—especially in mental or emotional houses—can create suicidal tendencies or self-harming thoughts. Therefore, psychological and spiritual guidance becomes essential when interpreting Ketu’s position in the chart.

🔁 Key Characteristics of Ketu

No head – operates beyond logic.

Signifies detachment, moksha, spiritual insight.

Removes focus from the house it occupies.

Lacks consistency – work proceeds in phases or irregularly.

Symbolized by a flag – deeply transformative, either greatly benefic or sharply malefic.

Mysterious and magical, often linked with sudden past-life influences.

🧘 How Ketu Affects Your Life

Ketu doesn’t push you toward success; it pulls you toward significance. It’s the silent teacher that strips away your outer distractions and compels you to look inward.

   When deeply afflicted, it can cloud your purpose and bring a sense of despair or meaninglessness.

> In such cases, spiritual remedies, meditation, psychological counseling, and astrological insight are crucial.
