All About Ketu & Status Of Life | Secrets of Ketu Nakshatras and How Fame Comes In Life?

Ketu represents status of life and gives results of our the deeds of previous births as it is a kind of bundle of karmas that we have been carrying from our previous lives.

Ketu is such a planet that it is difficult to understand at once, no matter how much the doctor examines the patient, and even after that the disease is not diagnosed, or if doctors keep changing one after the other, then this also shows that Ketu is not giving good results.

Manasagari writes that the native will be handsome, well built, very wealthy and efficient and acquire GREAT NAME & FAME and he will become popular among popular among friends if Ketu is well placed and connected with Ascendant or 10th House and forming good yogas.

Why Ketu is Connected with Name and Fame?

From one of the logic nakshatras of Ketu being Ashwini, the Ashwini Kumaras being mortals were elevated by Indra at the behest of Chyavana Rishi to the ranks of the Devatas and were given the right to part-take in the Libation (Oblations of Soma) offered during Yagnas.

Ketu is never contented with anything of the world and only finds contentment in spiritual part and one who does not seek any stronger material longings truly gets all the name and fame in life.

It is truly the flag bearer that why classical texts write that Ketu in Lagna, the person is virtuous in nature as this is the house where Sun gets exalted when a king conquers a territory, the flag is raised and house of Mars where it behaves in similar quality (Ketu vat Kujave as per Dhruva Nadi).

While, Magha whose ruler again being Ketu bestows kingship, power, rank, honor, and similar things in the material world through power, status, and authority, as well as in the higher aspect through self-knowledge.

Ketu’s main symbols is a Flag which relates to authority, fame, and this position in the present life is earned due to meritorious past life deeds as we know that Ketu is the keeper of our past karmas and it main aim is to make sure that your overcome ignorance (8th house significator) and get over the thought of simply seeking liberation (12th house significator) but act in a way that the work you do for the people liberates you, and gives you truly the desired name and fame so that you can do betterment for the world without own selfish interests.

Urinary and sugar problems, or problems with kidney, stones, waist, or slipped disc, also indicate that Ketu is not giving good results.

Addiction or getting attached to other things very quickly and having difficulty in giving them up are also signs of Ketu being in bad condition.

Being addicted to anything is harmful because it doesn’t force us to think about anything else as you are tied up to it, and we end up wasting our time on those things and that’s why it’s said to be the factor of salvation as when you get away from that thing, you’ll begin to understand your true purpose.

The quality of a positive Ketu in one’s chart is that they deliver things in most straightforward manner, without sugar coating that’s why when Ketu is placed in 2nd house, the person goes unfiltered as now that person has to get the work done in most straight-forward manner possible.

Ketu therefore also represents the skills of time management which is crucial  and everything must be done within a certain limit and discipline and attention must be paid to what’s required. (Sun is Time – as per Jaimini Sutram therefore Ketu does well in 1st House where Sun is exalted and even Lal Kitab says too that Ketu in 1st House, Sun gives positive results)

Even, when delivering assignments and projects on time and being dedicated to your spiritual practice are signs of a good Ketu.

Ketu also represents our independence, and if someone doesn’t stay in a job for long or suddenly loses it, it indicates that Ketu is not giving positive results that’s why it is the Jad (root) –  Mulatrikon is 10th house for Ketu.

Why Ketu is Mulatrikon of 10th House? ( as written in a blog earlier too )

See, many people take children as Jupiter or Sun but Ketu is also taken as they say it is karaka for MALE CHILD, so traditionally the eldest son has the primary right to perform Tarpan rituals for deceased ancestors, but this duty extends to other male descendants (sons, grandsons).
