Ketu is the planet of spirituality. Ketu represents
the spiritual process of evolution. Ketu is also not a material embodiment and
is referred to as chaya graham (Shadow planet). Ketu is the southern point
where the path of earth around Sun cuts the path of Chandra. Like his
counterpart Rahu, he is also the significator of any sudden event be in an
accident or a lottery gain. He indicates secrecy, dissatisfaction, hidden
enemies, greed, proficiency in foreign and artificial languages like computer
languages. He represents foreign or alien religious believes obsessive
personality, mass tragedies and mysterious diseases. He causes abortions, rifts
in married life as well as domestic problems. The difference between the
significations of Rahu and Ketu is that the effects caused by Ketu are not as
severe as those caused by Rahu. However, the mental agony, uncertainties are
more. Ketu is considered a worldly malefic and spiritual benefic, as he causes
mild amount sorrow nad loss, which ultimately turns the individual to God. Ketu
signifies intelligence, liberation, wisdom, non-attachment, deep insight, and
psychic abilities. Regular propitiation measures to Ketu removes possibility of
accidents, insect bites, allergy etc., The remedial measures to Ketu reduce
mental worries and mysterious fears.
As in the case of Rahu, when Ketu is not afflicted
it showers its blessings to the house it occupies. Ketu is worshipped in the
night on Saturday.
