Last updated: 12 April 2026 · Source: BPHS, Swiss Ephemeris

Ketu transit brings detachment, spiritual growth, and sometimes loss to the sign it occupies. It is always exactly opposite Rahu. Ketu transit through the 3rd, 6th, and 11th from Moon gives spiritual strength. Transit through the 1st or 7th can bring identity confusion or relationship detachment.

FAQ

Q.How is Ketu transit different from Rahu?

Rahu amplifies and obsesses. Ketu diminishes and detaches. Where Rahu transit makes you want more of something, Ketu transit makes you lose interest in it. Both are 18-month cycles that always operate in opposite signs simultaneously.

Q.Is Ketu transit always negative?

Not at all. Ketu transit through the 3rd and 6th is excellent - it gives spiritual courage and victory without effort. Ketu in the 12th supports meditation and spiritual growth. The "negative" reputation comes from Ketu in the 1st (identity confusion) and 7th (relationship detachment), which require awareness rather than fear.
