Ketu in Vedic Astrology<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Ketu, often referred to as the South Node<\/em> or the Dragon\u2019s Tail<\/em>, is a shadow planet that represents spirituality, detachment, past-life karma, and enlightenment. It is a headless celestial body that signifies moksha<\/em> (liberation), deep intuition, and the dissolution of material attachments. Ketu is often associated with mysticism, occult knowledge, and hidden wisdom. Unlike Rahu, which desires material gains, Ketu seeks spiritual truth and liberation from worldly illusions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
