Ketu is a gloomy planet in Vedic Astrology. We use the term ‘gloomy’ to clarify for people who believe in astrology and want to know the karaka tatwa of Ketu. Ketu is a Chaya Graha, the Shadow Planet; the South Node of the Moon. Ketu is the main planet considered for Moksha, detachment, past-life karma (which we have mastered in our previous births), and the areas of our lives we must let go of. This is the planet that has the pause button and the ability to break patterns.
Let us learn from a famous astrologer in Kolkata, Astrologer Sourav Chatterjee (Roy), how Ketu actually works, regulates the pause button (regardless of areas of our lives), breaks patterns, and forms new patterns in our lives.
How Does Ketu Activate the Pause or Break Button?
Ketu is a breaker, a pause-giver, and a trend changer. But why and how does it do it? Let us understand through the lens of Vedic Astrology, you will hardly find it anywhere else. Ketu is a cosmic eraser. It erases things that you have already experienced in your life too many times. Ketu does not provide a break or pause abruptly. There must be a reason that we cannot understand. So, let us know how Ketu provides a Break or Pause.
- You will lose interest in a certain area of your life; it could be your career or a relationship.
- You will not feel the same warmth in a relationship that you felt a few days back.
- You will feel a withdrawal from material success also.
- You will find yourself in a denial mode with no valid reason.
Ketu does not do all these to punish you; it does to make you aware of your next step that we cannot find or ignore until or unless we get hurt in our regular life cycle.
How Ketu Works? Let’s Understand in this Pause & Break Journey
Tries to Make You a Non-Judgmental Observer:
You need to understand the pattern it tries to make you sync without any judgment. If you involve yourself in the Why, What, and How mode, you will be trapped in a loop that is hard to break and painful. You need to accept the change without questioning, but you will have to be the observer. The reason is why Astrologer Sourav Chatterjee (Roy), a famous astrologer in Kolkata, suggests having precise astrological guidance during the Ketu MD or Ketu transit from important houses.
Understand the Meaning of Ketu’s Placement in Your Chart:
You need to be the silent observer in the specific area of your life where Ketu governs in your chart. For example, if Ketu rules your 7th house, you should not be too demanding regarding your marriage or your partner. You need to accept your partner in the way he/she is, or you should not marry ever. You need to tear off the checklist regarding your life partner. Otherwise, you will have to face bitter consequences.
Don’t React, Just Pass on:
Whenever and wherever you react, you plant a seed (a seed of disagreement, anger, choice, jealousy, trauma, and so on). But if you stop reacting and just ignore it, you will get freedom from the loop that most of us cannot break. The reason is that we find ourselves trapped in pain, suffering, and struggle.
Final Note,
Ketu does not provide your pain or trauma. It is you who cannot understand the pattern or need of the hours, and find yourself trapped in the same pain and complaining mode. Here, Ketu does its job sometimes harshly or gently and cuts the cords/patterns to make you move to your next step, which is destined for you. So, don’t be afraid of Ketu, try to understand why you are here, and where you need to go to make yourself free from the bondage and secure ultimate Freedom.
