Ketu Mahadasha

Ketu mahadasha lasts for 7 years and the results whether benefic
or malefic will completely depend on the placement of ketu in the
horoscope. Generally ketu dasha makes one interested in occult,
mystics, spirituality, metaphysics etc. It will bring detachment
and make you an introvert, Ketu will cheat atleast one
signification of the house it is placed in, suppose it is placed in
the ascendant it will give some or the other problem with the
body, physic etc which can be internal as well as external, ketu in
2nd house can cheat you of money or finances at some point in
life and so on. Ketu mahadasha will not give spiritual
enlightenment if it is not aspected by benefics, Ketu in 12th is the
best for spirituality provided it has connections with jupiter, the
5th or the 9th lord of the horoscope. Such people can be attuned
to higher energies or be highly spiritual. Psychics too can have
these connections with placement of ketu in 4,8,12 houses and
connected to moon, Jupiter, 5th or the 9th lord.

Many people complain that they have been through hell in ketu
dasha. I have personally seen a few horoscopes with ketu dasha
having watched their lives for few years. Ketu if afflicted by
malefics can be worse combination in a horoscope. Ketu placed in
any house of the horoscope aspected by mars and saturn is like
burning in fire. If such horoscope has spiritual combinations such
burning is for becoming a gold after achieving detachment, but
people in materialism get troubled to heights, they start
becoming mentally deranged, cynicism creeps in, some even get
high suicidal tendencies and there are others who attempt
suicide, Nagging each and every person and see all the faults in
others, get irritated at the slightest provocation and attack the
other person. They get cheated and deserted by everyone around
them, terrible health issues can surface if ketu is afflicted in
6,8,12 houses. Sleep gets affected, some people get into drugs
and addictions, everything becomes a nightmarish dream if ketu
is badly afflicted in the horoscope. “Vinaash kaale Vipareet
Buddhi” fits apt for many in ketu dasha, as they will not even
resort to remedies, will doubt each and everything, will criticize
people and things.

The reason for such sufferings is the past karma of the person
and not ketu dasha. Ketu mahadasha is just the indicator of the
coming time and it makes you burn in the fires of life to make
you a detached and refined soul who is equivalent to gold. Such
people can stay grounded and enjoy life knowing its value in
Venus dasha later.

Ketu mahadasha can also be very positive for those with a well
placed ketu in kendra and trikona with 5th, 9th, 10th lords. Ketu
mahadasha will be very good if ketu is placed in upachaya houses
3,6,10,11. Ketu gives excellent technical knowledge and expertise
in languages. Linguist have connections of mercury to ketu for
mastering languages, Ketu makes excellent technocrats,
programmers, software developers, linguist, psychics. These
people have well placed ketu in their horoscopes. Those having
ketu involved in spiritual combinations in a horoscope will
experience progress in their sadhana and spiritual pursuits, they
will meet the right people and yogis/monks/guru who will guide
them further to progress in life. Ketu mahadasha can be an
excellent opportunity to evolve spiritually even if you are
suffering badly. Those who are suffering in ketu mahadasha
should always keep in mind  that the next dasha of venus of 20
years is yet to come so you should never get disheartened come
what may. If you learn your lessons well in this dasha, the next
dasha of venus will shower its blessings on you letting you enjoy
your life to the fullest.
Many people in India think that Saturn is the only planet that
indicates suffering and trouble. However if you start doing some
research in Astrology, you will find that there is another planet
that indicates equal trouble and that is the Mahadasha of Ketu –
the 7 years period that will make most people realize that the
world is something of an illusion. Reach out to God during Ketu
Dasha and that is the only solution!

If there is one dasha by which even a disbeliever of Astrology will

turn towards this wonderful ancient science of human life, then it
is surely KETU Dasha.

Many of you may wonder why I have chosen this title. At the end
of the article “Oh My God” will mean something else to you.

There are 2 things you need to do if this article is supposed do

some good to you. Take a look at your own horoscope and find
out when you will go through KETU Mahadasha. Then find out
where KETU is in the Bhava Chart. Also see if KETU is alone or
with malefics like Saturn, Mars and Sun and that is because if
KETU is with these planets it indicates more trouble.

Only 5% of those who have been through KETU Dasha may say
“no…. nothing much happened to me except a few negative
things here and there… “. And that is most probably because
KETU occupied a good house and was beneficially influenced by
good yoga causing grahas (Planets) in their horoscopes. If Ketu is
a yogakaraka the negative effects will be much reduced, so much
one will not notice that he or she is going through a Ketu dasha.

The remaining 95% people will surely say, “Oh My God…. even
my enemy must not go through a Ketu Dasha”. This is based
mostly on my experience with my clients who underwent a Ketu
Dasha and came me during the same dasha.

Lucky are those who have KETU well placed. Is it based on luck?
Never. For every good result that we experience there was an
action related to it in the past or past life. So what we normally
call luck is just the output of a good action done in the past.
Since the good was done in the past life, we do not see how it
came and therefore for such unknown causes we call it luck. If
the result is negative we term it is a bad luck.

If KETU is placed in the 2nd house or the 8th house or 12th

house in your horoscope you should read this article and try to
grasp as much information as possible. You can brace yourself
well, you can protect yourself to the best of your abilities if you
know all about KETU. Ignorance is not bliss. Ignorance is no
excuse. Not with KETU.

If KETU is in the 2nd house or in the 8th house or in the 12th

house and is further afflicted by malefic grahas like KUJA (Mars),
RAVI (Sun), SANI (Saturn) then the trouble increases manifold.
Such people should turn to GOD and do lot of good things to the
suffering human beings around them if they are interested in
altering the course of their destiny. Destiny is alterable at any
point in time. Only issue is that it is not easy.

If you have well a placed Ketu (a yogakaraka) then you have

done a lot of good things in your previous lives.

Lucky are those who will never go through a KETU Dasha. It

happens only if you are born in any of the following stars:

Bharani, Poorvaphalguni or Poorvashada.

So if you are born in these stars then there is no point reading
about Ketu dasha unless you want to know how it is for others.
So you can say, “Thank you, My God! instead of Oh My God!”.
The reason for this is that KETU Dasha starts when you are 113
years old if you were born in Bharani Star, Poorvaphalguni Star or
Poorvashada Star.

People who are born in Aswini, Makha and Moola start their life in
Ketu Dasha. Mostly such people do not feel the blow of Ketu
except when Ketu is badly placed for example in the 8th house or
12th house. This is because they are under the care of their
parents. So if the parents are alive and if in the horoscope of
such a person, the house of mother and the house of father is
strong and beneficial then parental care prevents any further
problems.

In most cases if RAHU and KETU are badly placed and cause
some dosha like sarpa dosha etc, then either the father or the
mother may have serious setback.

It is also said that the the 1st 4 years of a child is influenced by

the mother and the next 4 years by the father. After 8 years the
child is fully on its own karma. So if a person is born in Ketu
dasha then there is usually not so much trouble to the person.

If you were born in the star of Aslesha, Jyeshta and Revati, you
will go through Ketu dasha in your teens or early 20s.

Such people have to be careful because this is the time when

karma starts to manifest itself. You have to study in a college,
much depends on what happens in college. You may not study
well. You may FALL in love. Really fall down. Usually you fall in
love with a forbidden girl or boy. Usually out of caste, you may
have an unusual type of marriage. This applies only for those in a
conservative society.

Such a person may get into drugs, alcohol or smoking. Effort

must be taken to either avoid such habits or limit the intake to a
bear minimum. Lucky are those who do not even experiment with
such forbidden items, because once the experiment happens the
habit is sure to follow.

If you were born in Pushyami, Anuradha or Uttarabhadra star

then Ketu dasha will be the 3rd dasha of your life, so you are
likely to get it around your 30s. So you should be very careful
because it is the centre point of your active life.

If you were born in Punarvasu, Vishaka or Poorvabhadrapada

your Ketu dasha will be the 4th dasha and you will get it close to
your 50s. Watch out! After living a successful life in the previous
Budha (Mercury) dasha you may nose dive into failures. You
should be aware of this in Budha Dasha and start losing your EGO
due to success. Otherwsie KETU dasha will be ready to snatch it
away from you by force.

If you were born in Arudra, Swati or Satabhisha star then KETU

dasha will be the 5th dasha and you will get close to your mid
60s. So KETU might give you health problems. If Ketu is the ruler
of the 2nd or the 7th house or if Ketu is placed in 2nd, 7th or 8th
or 12th house then you should be extremely careful. Appropriate
remedies are a must. Join a Rotary Club etc and start
volunteering for medical camps. The more you take care of health
problems among the poor the happier you will be.
