About this transit
Ketu spends about eighteen months in each sign of the zodiac. As it moves, it activates a different house of your chart, and the areas it governs — detachment, spirituality, sudden losses and past karma — come into focus in that part of your life.
How a transit affects you depends on your Moon sign and lagna, the house being transited, and your running dasha. A personal reading from your birth chart shows what the current transit means for you.
