WHAT IS ROLE OF KETU IN VEDIC ASTROLOGY AND HOW DOES IT BEHAVE IN DIFFERENT HOUSES

In vedic astrology although we consider Ketu as a planet but it actually do not have its physical form. So it is also called as Chaya graha / shadow planet.

Unlike rahu, ketu do not believe in materialistic pleasure and is not a greedy planet. Since Ketu is a headless planet so it takes time in its realization and so the person feels detached under its influence.

The other reason for ketu not liking materialistic pleasure and taste anything is because the sense of taste and pleasure can be felt by the interpretation of our brain and ketu donot have head.

This is the reason when Ketu is active or a person is influenced by ketu, native actually seek and prefer solitude. Native quite loves to being alone, and remember that self-isolation is not loneliness, it just means you are taking time for yourself between regular social interactions.

A SEED GROWS WITH NO SOUND BUT A TREE FALLS WITH HUGE NOISE. DESTRUCTION HAS NOISE BUT CREATION IS QUIET. THIS IS THE POWER OF SILENCE AND THAT IS WHAT KETU IS.

Being alone is an important part of self-development. It allows you to get to know yourself. Through solitary pursuits, you learn more about yourself and reflect on your experiences.

In other words Ketu helps a person in his transformation as he in his isolation period goes thru a self-realization period which impart a lot of understand and knowledge to attend a personal change.

One should always remember that Diamonds are formed under pressure and bread dough rises when you let it rest.
