Ketu Graha (Ketu Planet) in Vedic Astrology

The Shadow Planet of Detachment, Spirituality & Moksha

Introduction to Ketu Graha

In Indian Vedic Astrology, Ketu is a shadow planet that represents the south node of the Moon. It is known for its influence on detachment, spirituality, moksha (liberation), renunciation, and past-life karma. Ketu is mysterious, powerful, and deeply transformative.

Astrological Significance

Though not a physical body, Ketu has a strong karmic presence. It is considered a malefic planet, but it also bestows wisdom, insight, and spiritual awakening. Ketu is exalted in Vrishchik (Scorpio) and debilitated in Vrishabha (Taurus). It governs the realms of the unseen, intuition, and mysticism.
