Ketu in the 7th House

Kalatra Bhavamarriage, partnership, business alliances, the other

Ketu in the house of partnership brings detachment into the place least suited to it. The partner is often spiritually inclined, physically distant, or emotionally self-contained, and the relationship carries a quality of separateness even when it is stable. Business partnerships tend to dissolve without drama.

The house and the graha

The 7th house is how you meet an equal, governing marriage, partnership, business alliances, the other. Ketu (Ketu) is a shadow planet — subtracting, dissolving, revealing and signifies detachment, moksha, past karma, insight; its drive is to renounce, to see through, and to finish unfinished karma.

The house's nature

The 7th is a kendra (angle), one of the four pillars of the chart, where planets act visibly and strongly. Planets in kendras gain Dig Bala (directional strength) depending on which angle they occupy, and their effects are prominent in the life rather than hidden.

What changes the reading

Three things modify this placement more than anything else: the sign Ketu occupies (see Ketu through the signs), the aspects it receives — Jupiter's aspect can rescue a difficult placement and Saturn's can sober an easy one — and the strength of the 7th house lord. Read this as one factor, not a verdict.
