Ketu Totkas: Ancient Remedies, Energy Balance & Shastra Relevance

🌟 Ketu – The Moksha Karaka & Shadow Planet

Astrologer Ashish Somani Astrologer and Vastu Consultant
In astrology, Ketu is the south node of the Moon, a shadow planet (Chhaya Graha). It represents detachment, moksha (liberation), intuition, spirituality, past-life karmas, sudden events, and ancestral blessings.

👉 When strong, Ketu blesses with:

Spiritual growth and detachment from illusions
Sharp logic, intuition, and psychic abilities
Success in occult sciences, research, and healing
Liberation from unnecessary desires and attachments

👉 When weak or afflicted, Ketu causes:

Confusion, anxiety, fear, and illusions
Sudden accidents, mysterious diseases, or losses
Karmic issues connected to ancestors (Pitru Dosha)
Isolation, detachment, or instability in relationships

That is why our scriptures and folk traditions suggest Ketu Totkas (remedies) to pacify this karmic shadow planet.

🔮 Why Ketu Remedies Work

Ketu = moksha + detachment + karmic debts.
Totkas = rituals of humility, service, and surrender that heal karmic imbalance.
Remedies involve dogs, sesame, blankets, Durva grass, Ganesha–Bhairava worship, and charity – all linked with Ketu’s shadowy yet spiritual nature.
