In rashi, Rahu-Ketu's primarily give the effects of their rashi lords, & of any co-tenant planets which share their house.

Mesha (Aries): Ketu will blunt the sensitivities of Mangala, making the native less warlike

& more self-preoccupied, less clear about their external military goals & more concerned with their internal warfare. One competes against standards for achievement it is true but these will tend to be spiritual standards which have little material value and the warrior energies are unlikely to achieve much unique self-definition in external social life.

Prof. Anthony Writer, Jyotisha Bharati, Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, Mumbai Dissatisfied with the basically selfish human condition, & uncomfortable with direct competition, the native typically shows a blunted individualism which is neither conformist nor marginalist, Males will have less interest in competitive sports; females retreat from attention-getting fashion. Good for winning inner battles against addiction or fears; for un-conflicted dedication to an organization or ideal.

Vrishaba (Taurus): Depends absolutely on how Lord Shukra functions in the overall nativity. Ketu in Vrishabha rashi will blunt the sensitivities of Venus, making the native unsure about sensual indulgence. This native can lose himself easily in escapist behaviors of sensual and sexual pleasure.

If Shukra is strong, then drugs, alcohol, fine fabrics, lovely appearances, delicious foods &

scented oils will find this native easily. However, no amount of pleasure will be satisfying to this person. The body's cravings are never fulfilled; desires only increase, without

satisfaction.

This native seeks deepest fulfillment through marriage & love relationships but that area of life is precisely where he is most disenchanted. His love behavior will be seen by outsiders as

"passive-aggressive" because the native simultaneously wants sensual love & pleasure, while rejecting it.

Ketu in Vrishabha either self-destructs through sensual addictions or develops a very selective sensual filter, allowing the native to pursue only those pleasures which advance specific spiritual goals.

Mithuna (Gemini): Depends absolutely on how Lord Budha functions in the overall nativity. Ketu will blur the mental-communicative sensitivities of Mercury, making the native dissatisfied with mundane communications and likely to twist, evade, mystify, or ignore communicative convention.

The native relies on a few phrases or devices, and does not make the effort to articulate his speech or gestures. When Ketu is yuti Budha in swakshetra, the native's verbal and written communication is difficult to understand even whilst he may be multi-lingual or work in a media job! Often exaggerated speed or a speech defect will be the culprit.

Karaka (Cancer):Depends absolutely on how Lord Chandra functions in the overall nativity. This is more true of the Moon than any other planet. Ketu will blunt the sensitivities of Moon, making the native emotionally detached and impersonal in their nurturing style.

Frequently the mother or primary nurturer rejects the native either overtly or covertly. The native is perpetually dissatisfied with their home conditions, and may be afraid of water.

Simha (Leo): Depends absolutely on how Lord Surya functions in the overall nativity.

When occupying Simha rashi, Ketu will blunt the ethical sensitivities of Sun, making the native ambivalent about creative ego-expression in general and about assuming moral authority in particular. Consistent with Ketu's passive-aggressive style, this native is prone to criticizing the leadership positions of others and trying to undermine ethical claims, rather than making positive suggestions toward constructive ways of channeling Divine intelligence.

Prof. Anthony Writer, Jyotisha Bharati, Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, Mumbai They are attracted into support roles in theatre & politics, where they can mingle with celebrities without actually opening their hearts to the hot energy of truth. Moral uncertainty surrounds but does not unsettle them.

Ketu with Surya in swakshetra may yield a creative genius who expresses unworldly sounds and color. Past-lives associated with cult of the Sun-priest; they have been sacrificed &

although they love the celebrity they are naturally wary of abuse of power.

Kanya (Virgo): Depends absolutely on how Lord Budha functions in the overall nativity.

Ketu will blunt the mental-organizational sensitivities of Mercury, making the native a curator & collector of concepts & ideas which lack direction & serve little practical purpose.

May pursue dead-end analytical philosophy, or elaborately documented yet unfounded conspiracy theories. Mistakenly they substitute a vast collection of details for an actual system, i.e., they miss the forest for the trees at least intellectually. Verbally inconsistent but insight is profound. Spiritually the information is good & liberating. One follows circuitous analytical paths, mentalizing when they should be meditating & meditating when they should be mentalizing, always frustrated & dissatisfied with the value &

purpose of their knowledge base.mentalizing, always frustrated & dissatisfied with the value & purpose of their knowledge base.

Thula (Libra): Depends absolutely on how Lord Shukra functions in the overall nativity.

Ketu will blunt the artistic & architectural sensitivities of Venus, making the native

ambivalent about balance & design, and thwarting his relationship management skills. His sense of natural balance, fairness, and justice in the larger sense being lost in a fog, the native is likely to err in judgment on social & personal matters.

One is disliked, considered unaesthetic, badly dressed, or somehow an icon of poor taste in one's society. In situations where polite negotiation of meaning or identity is required, one lacks the grace to introduce oneself properly or make the other party feel balanced in one's company. Ketu with Shukra/swakshetra may produce a genius of unorthodox costume design, or an avant-garde style in arts or theatre.

Vrischika (scorpio): Depends absolutely on how Lord Mangala functions in the overall nativity. Ketu will blunt the sensitivities of Mars, making the native ambivalent about tantric healing, profound therapeutic change, and the reality of trauma. He spends much of his life force in the project of denying the existence of psycho-spiritual energies; he

disregards magic; and he avoids therapeutic engagement in conscious change.

Ketu yuti swakshetra Mangala could under favorable circumstances produce a tantrika of great ability. Such a person under proper guidance might become an effective channel for planetary healing although working from the dark side.

Dhanus (Sagittarius): Depends absolutely on how Lord Brihaspati functions in the overall nativity. Ketu will blunt the sensitivities of Jupiter, making the native ambivalent about the reality of fundamental goodness, world family, All-One, and other blessings of the Divine which penetrate the veil of our human sadness and bring spiritual light into human lives. This native is curmudgeonly, unable to recognize the value of education, religion, or charity. He tends toward atheism and survival-of-the-fittest market economics. He dislikes group activities and does not celebrate holidays.

Prof. Anthony Writer, Jyotisha Bharati, Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, Mumbai Detachment from religion and even from humanism may be a good thing when looking objectively at what can be done to advance humanity's situation on the global scale. It may be clarifying to be free of idealistic, ideological attachment when constructing

comprehensive world visions.

Makar (Capricorn): Depends absolutely on how Lord Shani functions in the overall nativity. Ketu will blunt the hierarchical, caste sensitivities of Saturn, making the native taciturn without benefit of realism, and expecting protection from the hierarchy without knowledge of or commitment to their position in that hierarchy. In general Ketu is

problematic in Shani's signs where groundedness & practical good sense are important for basic survival on the material plane. Good position for truly religious political leaders or the wandering mendicant who takes physical sustenance from temples & government rationing programs.

Kumbha (Aquarius): Depends absolutely on how Lord Shani functions in the overall nativity. Ketu will blunt the populist, democratizing sensitivities of Saturn, making the native ambivalent about his role in the marketplace. Kumbha is in general a highly abstract sign, famous for its esoteric theories and special interest groups which have little connection to the survival reality of the global population yet purport to be universal in nature.

Kumbha is the solar or rational side of Shani's domain, concerned primarily with

equalizing exchange networks of the marketplace not with the emotional security of fixed caste (Makara). Ketu here gives reluctance to participate in networks of association and dislike of the masses.

Ketu with swakshetra Shani is likely to produce extreme disengagement from earthly politics and distrust of human social movements, marginalizing the native and forcing the group-think scope into galactic or even cosmic range

This is a science-fiction orientation with a mind that wanders across the universe in search of a culture weird enough and 'safe' enough but also familiar enough to identity with.

Might be a gifted sci-fi script writer or mathematician or computer programmer if Budha is strong. Otherwise, seeks anonymity and intellectual distance through cold logic. Could live in isolation & socialize exclusively via computer networks. Very detached person.

Meena (Pisces): Depends absolutely on how Lord Brihaspati functions in the overall

nativity. Ketu will blunt the sensitivities of Jupiter, making the native ambivalent about the world of private imagery, traveling in the spirit world, and one's natural communion with all sentient beings.

May be intensely intuitive, aware of the presence of fairies, elves, devas, deities, & spirit beings of many classes. Dispassionately observes the sorrows of the wandering. Accepts wandering, accepts a disconnected, dreamlike state; accepts the vast cosmic viewpoint. This native is lonely and worried about their well-being; naturally withdrawn. One avoids formal or actively engaged meditation and sanctuaries such as ashrams and monasteries, although ironically in a state of extreme detached awareness of the interconnectedness of all life, they are exemplary models of meditative neutrality.
