Scorpio: Water · Fixed · ruled by Mars — Ketu is exalted here
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 Scorpio — a water sign of fixed quality ruled by Mars — that drive is pursued intensely, privately, and all the way down.
Ketu is exalted in Scorpio — its strongest placement, where its significations express with unusual clarity and force.
The areas Ketu governs — detachment, moksha, past karma, insight — take on Scorpio's character. Because Mars rules Scorpio, the condition of Mars in the chart matters nearly as much as Ketu itself: a strong Mars lifts this placement, a weak or afflicted one undercuts it. Exaltation is not a guarantee of ease: an exalted planet in a difficult house still delivers its results through that house’s themes.
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.
