Among the most misunderstood celestial units in Vedic astrology is another shadow planet, Ketu. You may have heard that certain issues turn up or escalate in areas of life where Ketu is positioned. Ketu, an enigmatic force, is often considered mysterious and spiritually inclined. However, when weakened, its influence can manifest in intriguing ways. In my last article, I discussed the signs of weakened Rahu, Ketu is its other half; another shadow planet. So, whether or not one agrees, it is bound to trigger certain parts of your life. Let’s dive deeper to know more about weakened Ketu placement in Kundli.
The Role of Ketu in Vedic Astrology
Ketu, representing the tail of the celestial serpent, is a shadowy planet associated with spirituality, detachment, and past life karma. In Vedic astrology, it is regarded as a karmic influencer, capable of shaping our destiny based on the actions of previous lifetimes. Ketu is often considered the planet of mysticism, enlightenment, and liberation. You would be surprised to know that all or most aspects of spirituality be it Moksh, self-realization, psychic abilities TO your endocrine system that influences your organs and cells— are all governed by Ketu.
What happens when Ketu is weak?
There are a series of traits that mostly affect people with weak Ketu in their birth chart. It is observed that such natives undergo a lot of physical and mental strain. Some peculiar behaviour includes a sudden change in their looks or odd dressing sense. They also hold a certain amount of suspicion in their minds against their near and dear ones. They are highly rigid and would go to any lengths to prove themselves right. Anything that justifies or validates their actions keeps them sane.
