What Ketu Mahadasha Does Across Seven Years

Ketu's own first antardasha is 7 times 7 divided by 120 years, which is 4 months and 27 days on the 360-day dasha count. Venus follows, and Venus inside Ketu lasts 7 times 20 divided by 120, which is 1 year and 2 months. The sequence then runs Sun, Moon, Mars, Rahu, Jupiter, Saturn, and Mercury. A Venus antardasha inside Ketu can be about marriage or comfort even while the mahadasha lord is the node of severance. People who describe the whole seven years as destruction are describing the mahadasha name and skipping the antardasha table.

Ketu is always opposite Rahu. If Ketu occupies the 4th, Rahu occupies the 10th, so the mahadasha of Ketu also wakes a career-node axis, not only a domestic one. The dispositor is the graha whose sign Ketu sits in. Ketu in Kanya hands the period to Mercury. Ketu in Mesha hands it to Mars. A strong dispositor in a kendra gives Ketu a place to stand. A dispositor in the 8th gives Ketu an 8th-house texture: breaks, research, other people's money, a need to rebuild. Moksha language belongs to Ketu in the texts. Moksha language is not a synonym for losing one's work, children, and health in a pile.

Charts survive Ketu mahadasha every day. The 6th, 8th, and 12th suffer when Ketu or its dispositor rules or occupies them and no benefic aspects the combination. The 5th, 9th, and 10th can flourish when those are the houses involved, often in a spare, specialized way: research, pilgrimage, a craft practiced away from applause. Medical events are the 6th house and a physician, not a seven-year curse. There is no remedy that deletes the mahadasha. There is a reading of which antardasha you are actually inside.
