KetuKetu

Ketu is the south lunar node -- one of the two points where the Moon's orbit crosses the ecliptic. No physical body sits there, yet Vedic astrology counts it as a planet: a 'shadow planet,' with effects as real as any. Ketu marks the territory you already mastered in past lives: whatever sign it occupies, you are naturally skilled at that sign's themes, yet strangely uninspired by them -- capable, but unmoved. Reading your Ketu shows what you are meant to release, where your intuition comes from, and where that inborn detachment of yours is meant to be used.
