Ketu and Scorpio, Mars's Sign

In this method a Scorpio person usually means the Moon in sidereal Scorpio, sometimes the lagna. Mars rules Scorpio. Ketu in Scorpio is therefore a node in Mars's sign, and it acts through Mars as dispositor. If Mars is strong, exalted in Capricorn or in its own sign, Ketu has a capable sponsor. If Mars is debilitated in Cancer, Ketu inherits that weakness. The phrase effects on Scorpio people hides these branches. A transit of Ketu through Scorpio is a different event from natal Ketu in Scorpio, and this page states no transit date and no degree.

If Scorpio is the Moon sign, Ketu's sign colors the mind, and Vimshottari still starts from the Moon's nakshatra, which might be Vishakha, Anuradha, or Jyeshtha depending on the degree. If Scorpio is the lagna, the first house of the self is Mars-ruled, and Ketu in that lagna thins identity, while Ketu elsewhere is a different house. The eighth house is longevity. Scorpio is the natural eighth sign of the zodiac, which tempts people to mix sign and house. A Scorpio Moon is not automatically an eighth-house placement. Count from the lagna.

Effects sold to all Scorpio people ignore the tenth house of career and the seventh of marriage. Those houses differ for every lagna. Ketu mahadasha lasts 7 years only when the sequence has reached Ketu, which a Scorpio Moon does not guarantee. Lahiri Scorpio is required. A tropical Scorpio Moon is often sidereal Libra. The effect, if you insist on one sentence, is Mars's condition coloring Ketu, and only for the person whose Moon or lagna is actually there.
