According to classical Vedic astrology, Ketu signifies detachment, moksha, spirituality, past karma, and inner realization. It represents the areas of life where a person naturally withdraws, reflects, and seeks deeper meaning beyond material attachments. A strong Ketu can give intuition, spiritual insight, discipline, and the ability to detach from illusions, while an afflicted Ketu may create confusion, isolation, dissatisfaction, or lack of direction. Ketu is essential for understanding spiritual growth, karmic release, and the journey toward liberation in a birth chart.
