The Big Lesson of Ketu
…
Don’t make the mistake of thinking of Ketu as just an evil planet. Wherever it sits, past karma demands its due results. Sometimes you get something; sometimes it suddenly slips out of your hands.
Ketu keeps you away from whatever you cling to the most. Be it money, family, or career – if you cling too much, Ketu can harm you.
Is your money stuck, payments have stopped, or work has stalled? Don’t think of it as just bad luck. Ketu often stops a person and changes their direction.
Ketu teaches a person to surrender from within, no matter which house that person is in. If Ketu is in the second house, it can lead to financial setbacks, and it can shake the person’s mind.
Don’t keep your heart heavy after tying the rope of attachment; Ketu cuts it right from the place where you have a hold on it.
Ketu can pull a person out of the crowd and onto his own path. Leaving a high-paying job and starting a small job, or giving up money and choosing peace – these are the turning points when a person begins to listen to his inner voice.
Under the influence of Ketu, people often turn to temples, meditation, and spiritual practices. Because Ketu does not talk about external devotion, but about the voice that comes from within.
In Sun-Ketu, problems related to ego and fatherhood can be complicated, but in Moon-Ketu, loneliness can be felt even in a group.
A simple rule for understanding Ketu is to reduce attachment and increase selflessness. Help someone without expecting anything in return.
Rahu says, ‘ I still need it,’ but Ketu asks,’ Is it really you that I need?’
If this question is understood, Ketu does not become an enemy but rather a teacher of life.
