Ketu Mahadasha

Ketu Dasha and Its Effects:

In Ketu Dasha, the native broods over the past, and the plans do not materialize due to improper implementation time. Ketu in the 6th, 8th, or 12th house indicates troubles caused by bad people, and the native becomes a hypochondriac. The native is transferred frequently and suffers from psychological issues. However, the native feels at ease in religious places, spiritual conversations, pilgrimages, and in the company of yogis and holy people.

Bhuktis in Ketu Dasha:

• Ketu:

The results of Ketu Bhukti are almost the same as those mentioned earlier. Ketu hinders the significations of the house it occupies and the planets it is conjunct with. Thus, the outcomes of Ketu Bhukti should be understood based on the position of Ketu.

• Ketu-Venus Dasha:

When Venus is in angles and dignified in the 3rd or 11th house from the Lagna or Ketu, it indicates royal grace, wealth gains, transfer to a desired department, marriage, favors from women, and overall benefits. However, if Venus is weak, afflicted, or placed in the 6th, 8th, or 12th house from the Lagna or Ketu, it causes eye troubles, headaches, loss of popularity, honor due to loose morals, and problems with wife and children. If Venus is afflicted in the 2nd or 7th house, it can lead to urinary infections and maraka results.

The Sun afflicted in the 2nd or 7th house brings unhappy results and maraka effects, causing ill health.
