Ketu

[govardhanvt]

Misdeeds, danger, anarchy, air accidents, rebellion, loss in wealth, spinal problems, untimely death, mental imbalance and fire accidents are some of the ill effects of Ketu.

Ketu likes sacred grass, flowers, red lotuses, horse gram, mustard-powder, cow-milk, dates, pineapple, sugar, seven-wick lamp, mid-night prayers, pepper, iron, neem and yam to mention a few. Seven is his favourite number and he should be worshipped on Tuesdays and Sundays. The Beejaakshara Mantra for Ketu is

"OM SRAAM SREEM SROUM SAHA KETAVE NAMAHA"

The ordinary mantra is:

"OM KAYM KETAVE NAMAHA"

Other texts refer to Kethu mantra as:

"HREEM KROOM KRURAROOPINAY KETAVE IM SOUHU SWAAHAA"

Any of these mantras is equally efficacious.

Ketu's Presences in the earthly sign, of the cow is anindicator of some artistic talent or an exggerated Venusian tinge in the nature of the native. The  native is ussully  astheticaly  oriented an ehibits a heightened sensitivity for refinement in the material realm.

The past life of such a native has usually been  a stable one as for as a material security is concerned. However in life  the native has togo through a period of uncertainity  in this regard, especially in the first half of his/her life. Suceess  material or otherwise  comes ater bit struggle. 'Try twice when you fail once" theory applies to the native  as nothing hapens for him in one go. The second half is more enjoyable than the first. Ketu is supposed to maintain a neutral relationship towards VEnus  and thus canbe said to be in neutral sign. It cannot give too many mateial benefits in its major or minor periods. It should be seen in a spirtualising influence, which puts the material world in its correct prespective.


The qualities of the sign Tauraus  earthy, fixed obstinate stable, acquiring, refining, accumulating, idealism in love, beauty, relationships etc for the backbone of the native.

Because of Rahu's presence in the mysterious sign of the angle the native has to confront the scorpionic realm destruction, regeneration , renewal , depth, internsity, passsion, obsession

A lot of reformers, revolutionaries, soldiers, social workers, spies, detectives, researchers, in every field, astrologers , philosophers, occulist and other people involved in bizarre vocations are born with this placement

Swami Vivekananda had such placement

Ketu In Fifth

Again is the one that takes the natives to extremes. The analogy of phoenix rising fromt he ashes usually does hold true for the native with such placemnet

As oftern the case with ketu in first half of the chart, the first half of life is not very enjoyable, There are breakes in education. The presence of ketu in the fifth gives an attitude  that doesnot think much on formal educations even though the native may go throught it under the grab of social obligation. A break in the formal education is usually the norm with this placement

When Ketu is strong in this postition it does give the native a penetrating and peircing intellect.  As is ketu's  disposition the learing is usually internalised.  the native with Ketu normaly persue the field of mysticism

The native with ketu in 5th have platonic love . The meet with frustration in love at the adaloscent age and thus  they have aversion  or negative feeling about love. In female chart this could indicate difficulty in childbirth
Osho Rajneesh and Queen Victoria had ketu in fifth house

ketu is electromagnetic radiation around us
any thing happening suddenly, without any visible cause, thunders in sky, spirituality, past karma, grandfather (paternal) , mystery, magic, illusions etc are controlled by ketu

[Rohiniranjan]

But -- electromagnetic 'radiation' includes that which is visible (light!) as also that which can be felt (heat=infrared) and that which can be heard (=sound) and more! These are all 'physical' and felt and experienced sensations and reality!

Perhaps you may want to revisit your original concept about Ketu and electromagnetic spectrum ;-)
