Ketu (South Node)

Ketu is the South Lunar Node — always exactly opposite Rahu. In Jyotish, Ketu represents past-life karma, spiritual liberation, detachment, and dissolution. It behaves like an intensified Mars. Ketu in the 12th house strongly supports spiritual practice and moksha. Ketu on natal Jupiter can give profound spiritual wisdom while simultaneously causing financial indifference. Ketu periods (7 years in Vimshottari) often involve loss, introspection, and spiritual deepening.
