Ketu planet South Node

ketu is a main planet in Astrology - Also know as South Node

Ketu, the south node of the Moon, is always opposite Rahu. Where Rahu obsesses over the things of this world, Ketu seeks to be freed from them. Rahu is material and loses the essence of things in their substance. Ketu perceives the essence of things but is unsatisfied with anything substantive in the world. Whereas Rahu shows where we are obsessed to grow and experience new things, Ketu is where we may want to fall back on familiar patterns and become stuck in them. Ketu brings doubt and a sharp criticism to the areas of life that he sees, resulting in us looking ever higher to find the truthful answers to them. Yet he is eternally unsatisfied, noticing only what is missing from whatever he is influencing, thus those areas of life will be especially hard to “work on” as we will be filled with our deepest levels of doubt and self-loathing.

Ketu will tend to feel like Mars in that both Ketu and Mars are critical and opinionated. Ketu has the same sharp and focused nature. His criticism is based on past skill and it is where we will fall back on a set of ideas of how things should or should not be. These ideas close him off to the greater and necessary possibilities that must be considered in order for the Karmas with him to be completed. Ketu is considered to be the headless body of the demon of which Rahu is the head itself. As such, Ketu reveals where we must “lose our head” around what we have experienced and mastered, in order to become liberated from it.
Keywords: dissatisfaction, detachment, solitude, intense scrutiny, liberation, implosive nature.
