KETU MYSTERY AND INFLUENCE

INTRODUCTION

Planet Ketu is considered to be one of the most inauspicious and malefic planet, but because of being the strongest and salvation-giver, it is also considered an auspicious planet. Ketu is known as the South Node of the Moon in Vedic astrology (a shadow planet) that represents detachment, spirituality, liberation, and the past. It has several karakatwas (significations), associated with it. Some of the key karakatwas of Ketu are:

 

Spiritual Awakening and Enlightenment: Ketu is associated with spiritual awakening, enlightenment, and liberation from worldly attachments. It represents the path of spiritual growth, self-realization, and the pursuit of higher consciousness.
Detachment and Renunciation (Sacrificing): Ketu signifies detachment from material desires. It represents the ability to let go of attachments and seek inner fulfillment through non-attachment.
Intuition and Psychic Abilities: Ketu is associated with intuition, psychic abilities, and the exploration of hidden knowledge. It represents the potential for accessing deeper realms of consciousness and spiritual insights.
Mysticism and Occult Sciences: Ketu signifies the realm of mysticism, occult sciences, and esoteric knowledge. It represents the interest in ancient wisdom, astrology, meditation practices.
Past Lives and Karma: Ketu represents past lives and the karmic influences carried from previous incarnations. It signifies the lessons and experiences carried over from past lifetimes and the need to resolve karmic patterns.

 

Exaltation and Debilitation
In Vedic Astrology, Ketu and Rahu are considered shadow planets and do not have specific exaltation and debilitation signs. However, in some astrological interpretations, Ketu is considered exalted in the sign of Scorpio and debilitated in the sign of Taurus.

 

When Ketu is exalted in Scorpio, it is believed to enhance the individual’s spiritual and transformative qualities. This placement may indicate a strong intuitive connection, a deep interest in occult knowledge, and a potential for spiritual growth and self-discovery.
On the other hand, when Ketu is debilitated in Taurus, its influence may be weakened or challenged. Debilitated Ketu in Taurus may bring difficulties in managing material possessions, attachments, and sensual desires. It can suggest a need to navigate the realm of materialism and security with detachment and awareness.

 

Nakshatras

Nakshatras belong to Ketu are – Ashwini, Magha, and Mool in a person’s birth chart, then that person will have a strong influence of Ketu in their life. Ketu in these Nakshatras, also indicates a person’s past life karma, which can affect their present life.

 

Mythology
In ancient times, there was a demon named Swarabhanu who stole the divine nectar called Amrutha Kalasam. The gods realized this and Lord Vishnu swiftly severed Swarabhanu’s head, resulting in the creation of Rahu (the head) and Ketu (the headless body). Rahu represents desires and greed, longing to experience everything, while Ketu, being the headless body, symbolizes detachment and the inability to enjoy what Rahu desires.
