Ketu Through the Twelve Houses

Ketu gives the sign lord's results with a detached, headless quality, and its mahadasha lasts 7 years. In the first house of the self it makes identity feel thin or unusual. In the second of wealth and speech it spars the voice and the savings. In the third of courage it can make nerve solitary. In the fourth of home it unsettles rooms and belonging. In the fifth of children it detaches from display, study, or romance without a medical claim about children. In the sixth of conflict and debt it can withdraw from fights or fixate on one dispute. The sign lord decides which of those tones wins.

In the seventh of marriage Ketu cools or spiritualizes the bond, and Navamsa must confirm whether the coolness holds. In the eighth of longevity it belongs to hidden matters and other people's resources, not to a fame formula and not to a death date. In the ninth of dharma it makes belief unusual or breaks with a teacher. In the tenth of career the work is hard to title. In the eleventh of gains the income is uneven or comes from odd networks. In the twelfth of loss and foreign residence Ketu is in a house it already resembles: retreat, expenditure, sometimes a life abroad. Jupiter's aspect can guide any of these. It does not make them identical.

Lists that give Ketu the same adjective in every house are not reading. Lahiri placement plus the dispositor is the whole method. A Scorpio Ketu is Mars's sign, which matters, and it is still only one sign. If that Scorpio falls in the fourth, you have a fourth-house article, not a Scorpio-people article. Vimshottari of Ketu, 7 years, times the house Ketu actually occupies. Read that house. Leave the other eleven alone until the chart shows them.
