The Ketu mahadasha is the great subtraction: seven years in which the inessential loses its grip. Worldly attachments loosen — sometimes gently, sometimes abruptly — and the inner life grows luminous.
Spiritual insight, liberation from long-stale patterns, mastery of subtle and technical disciplines, healing capacities, and the strange efficiency of wanting less — Ketu gives depth where Rahu gave breadth.
Directionlessness, sudden losses or separations, feeling invisible in worldly terms, and health puzzles that resist ordinary diagnosis. Grasping tighter makes Ketu’s lessons harsher.
Cooperate with the pruning: release voluntarily what is already leaving, and invest in the interior. What survives Ketu is precisely what was real — and it becomes the foundation of the era that follows.
