š Ketu ā The Moksha Karaka & Shadow Planet
Astrologer Ashish SomaniĀ Astrologer and Vastu Consultant
In astrology,Ā KetuĀ 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.
šĀ 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
šĀ 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 suggestĀ Ketu Totkas (remedies)Ā to pacify this karmic shadow planet.

- Totkas =Ā rituals of humility, service, and surrenderĀ that heal karmic imbalance.
