How to Make Ketu Positive Ketu is responsible for developing one's intuition and is not as
negative as Rahu. Positive effects: - makes one virtuous and spiritually intelligent - student
whose Ketu is good can usually known what is in the book without actually reading the book, but
just by skimming through it. They can talk and write about a given subject without reading much.
- a good Ketu maintains the knowledge learned in previous births - for instance, some people take
good business decisions despite not having gone to any business school - or in many cases in
India not having gone to any school Bad effects: - such children aren't able to study with
concentration despite sitting in front of the book and reading every word out loud - makes one
lost in imagination and unable to focus on a given work. Effects of Ketu in different houses of
the birth chart: When Ketu affects the 2nd house, it will make the person imaginative in terms of
earning a lot of money and fame, but the person will actually not do anything to achieve these.
This is a sign that these people may get very frustrated and depressed between the ages of 30 and
42. When ketu affects the 4th house, it will make one very negative. The person will have a very
nervous disposition and may fail in tasks or exams due to this nervousness. When Ketu affects
the 5th house, a student will do anything and everything, but be a student despite having a sharp
brain. He will spend time with friends, extra-curricular activities, trying to impress the opposite
sex, etc. When Ketu affects the 7th house and there is another planet there along with it, then it
will create problems in relation to that other planet. For example, if it's with Sun or Moon, it will
make the person over-confident; if it's with Mars, it will cause immense anger issues in the
individual; if it's there with Mercury, it will make them too clever; if with Jupiter, it will cause
immense arrogance - bad relations with seniors, teachers, and bosses; if with Venus, it will make
the person astray; if with Shani, it will make the person extremely lazy. Basically, the negative
effects create unnecessary illusions in one's mind, which makes them act in the manner
mentioned. Remedies to make Ketu positive: As people with a negative Ketu look for shortcuts in
life, one needs to remember to forget about taking any shortcuts - there are no shortcuts to
success in life. It's a process. Ketu can make it seem like you can quickly achieve a lot of things,
only to realize that the chosen path does not exist in reality, which causes one to be feel very low
and unable to rise up again. Kesar/saffron is a good remedy for Ketu - eat it, apply it as a tilak
mixed with raw milk, drink it, use it anyway you can. Ketu resides in dogs, so as a remedy people
should take care of dogs. It is preferable if one takes care of street dogs, as you are doing double
the work by taking care of another life while doing a remedy for Ketu. If Ketu is very bad, then
start wearing anything made of gold - if wearing a pendant, the thread can be yellow or gray. It's
important to be spiritual to get good results from Ketu. To stop Ketu's disturbance, stop wearing
any gray colors and use mostly yellows and whites. If Ketu is negative, then don't trust anyone that's ANYONE, regarldess of their relationship with you as there's a very high chance of you
getting deceived by people who are close to you. It's usually people in the friend circle, but why
take the chance. :-) Also, a negative Ketu can create problems in study due to friends. So, learn to
say no to friend when deciding whether to study or go out with friends. If Ketu is causing one a
lot of anxiety, then it's important to wear a silver bracelet, donate sugar (khaand), give treats
made of jaggery and/or items that grow under-ground (groundnuts with jaggery is a good
option) to your friends from time to time - this is because a negative Ketu does not let one have
good friends easily. Use the Ketu planet's mantra to become more spiritual in nature and get the
benefits of this mysterious shadow planet. Learn the correct pronunciation in the video below
and possibly use it as a background to your initial meditation to keep you

References to Rahu and Ketu can be found in a lot of Hindu scriptures including Rigveda, Atharva-veda and
Mahabharata.
If placed well in a chart, these planets work to check the very bad qualities they represent. Rahu gives courage,
prestige and fame, Ketu works towards providing knowledge and moksha, the final liberation from the cycle of
birth and death. Rahu represents ghosts (pret andpishacha). Placed well in a chart, it can bring out extraordinary
qualities in terms of supernatural in an individual.

According to some accounts in Hindu mythology, Ketu belongs to Jaimini Gotra, whereas Rahu
is from Paiteenasa gotra and hence both are totally different entities with distinct characteristics
and not two parts of a common body. Ketu is generally referred to as a "shadow" planet.
Ketu is often depicted with a gem or star on his head signifying a mystery light.

Astronomically, Rahu and Ketu denote the points of intersection of the paths of the Sun and
the Moon as they move on the celestial sphere. Therefore, Rahu and Ketu are respectively called
the north and the south lunar nodes. The fact that eclipses occur when the Sun and the Moon
are at one of these points gives rise to the understanding of swallowing of the Sun and the Moon
by the snake.
In ancient Tamil astrological scripts, Ketu was considered as incarnation of Indra. During a war
with Asuras, Indra was defeated and took a passive form and a subtle state as Ketu. Indra spent
this time realizing his past mistakes, and failures and that lead to spirituality towards Lord Shiva.
n Hindu astrology Ketu represents karmic collections both good and bad, spirituality and
supernatural influences. Ketu signifies the spiritual process of the refinement of materialization to
spirit and is considered both malefic and benefic, as it causes sorrow and loss, and yet at the
same time turns the individual to God. In other words, it causes material loss in order to force a
more spiritual outlook in the person. Ketu is a karaka or indicator of intelligence, wisdom, nonattachment, fantasy, penetrating insight, derangement, and psychic abilities. Ketu is believed to
bring prosperity to the devotee's family, removes the effects of snakebite and illness arising out of
poisons. He grants good health, wealth and cattle to his devotees. Ketu is the lord of
threenakshatras or lunar mansions: Ashvini, Magha and Mula.
Ketu is considered responsible for moksha, sannyasa, self-realization, gnana, a wavering nature,
restlessness, the endocrine system and slender physique.
The people who come under the influence of Ketu can achieve great heights, most of them
spiritual.
