Capricorn: Earth · Cardinal · ruled by Saturn
Ketu (Ketu) is a shadow planet — subtracting, dissolving, revealing, and signifies detachment, moksha, past karma, insight. Its fundamental drive is to renounce, to see through, and to finish unfinished karma. When it occupies Capricorn — a earth sign of cardinal quality ruled by Saturn — that drive is pursued patiently, strategically, and for the long haul.
Ketu is neither exalted nor debilitated in Capricorn, so the result depends heavily on its house, aspects, and the strength of Saturn, the sign lord.
The areas Ketu governs — detachment, moksha, past karma, insight — take on Capricorn's character. Because Saturn rules Capricorn, the condition of Saturn in the chart matters nearly as much as Ketu itself: a strong Saturn lifts this placement, a weak or afflicted one undercuts it.
A single placement is never the whole story. The house Ketu occupies usually speaks louder than the sign, and aspects from Jupiter or Saturn can transform the result entirely. Read this page as one factor among several, not a verdict.
