Ketu Is the South Node, Opposite Rahu, for 7 Years

Ketu is the south node, always opposite Rahu, and its mahadasha lasts 7 years. It does not rule a rashi in classical Parashari. Moksha karaka is the religious title. Headless is the image: the body of the graha is not there, and the result is often a thinning of whatever house it occupies. Ketu in the 4th thins attachment to home. Ketu in the 10th thins attachment to status. The sign's lord delivers the result, just as with Rahu. Ketu in Scorpio answers to Mars. Ketu in Pisces answers to Jupiter. A strong dispositor makes the withdrawal purposeful. A fallen dispositor makes it scattered.

Ketu is grouped with the natural malefics and still is not Mars and not Saturn. Mars heats and aspects the 4th, 7th, and 8th. Saturn delays and aspects the 3rd, 7th, and 10th. Ketu's aspects are disputed, so a careful reading does not invent a special glance. Use occupation and the dispositor. In the 7th, Ketu can detach a marriage. It is not Manglik. Manglik is Mars. In the 12th, Ketu fits the house of release more quietly than Rahu does, because Rahu in the 12th spends and agitates while Ketu in the 12th lets go. People fear Ketu as bad luck. The 9th lord is luck. Ketu affects luck only if it occupies the 9th or joins the 9th lord.

The Vimshottari order runs Ketu first in the list, then Venus 20, Sun 6, Moon 10, Mars 7, Rahu 18, Jupiter 16, Saturn 19, Mercury 17. You meet Ketu at birth only if the Moon is in a Ketu nakshatra: Ashwini, Magha, or Moola. Otherwise Ketu's 7 years come later. They are often inward, technical in a narrow way, or spiritually restless, in the house Ketu owns by occupation. They are not seven years of ruin unless that house and the lagna lord are already broken. After Ketu, Venus arrives, which is why a hard Ketu period can be followed by a long Venus period that has nothing to do with the node's mood. Read the handoff. Do not freeze the person at the node.
