Ketu in the 5th in Makara, for Kanya Lagna

Whole-sign reckoning counts the rising sign as house 1 and each next sign as the next house. If the 5th sign is Makara, the 1st sign is Kanya, the 2nd is Tula, the 3rd is Vrishchika, the 4th is Dhanu, and the 5th is Makara. No other lagna puts Makara in the 5th. Ketu 'in the 5th in Capricorn' is not a general Ketu-in-5th article with a sign sticker. It is a Kanya-lagna chart with Ketu in Saturn's sign in the intelligence house. Mercury rules the lagna and also rules Mithuna, the 10th. The person is a Mercury native whose 5th-house node answers to Saturn.

The 5th lord being the 6th lord means children, study, and mantra are tied to the house of obstacles. That can be intelligence used in medicine, law, accounting of problems, or a mind that worries. It can be delays around children during Saturn's 19-year mahadasha or Ketu's 7 years. Jupiter, putra karaka, still has to be seen. For Kanya lagna Jupiter rules the 4th and the 7th, home and marriage, so Jupiter is not the 5th lord and cannot substitute for Saturn. A strong Saturn in a kendra gives this Ketu a spine. Saturn debilitated in Mesha, which would be the 8th for Kanya, would dispositor Ketu from the house of rupture. Where Saturn sits is the rest of the sentence.

Ketu in Makara puts Rahu in Karka, the 11th from Kanya. Gains and networks are disposited by the Moon, while the 5th is disposited by Saturn. Income has a lunar, emotional, or public flavor. The mind's speculative and creative house has a Saturnine flavor. People feel this as a split between what earns and what interests them. The Moon's condition decides whether the 11th Rahu is a manageable income or a restless one. None of this is a denial of children or a promise of them. It is a Kanya-lagna structure. D7 and Jupiter remain the children test. The 5th lord's dasha remains the timer.
