good materialistic results.

Similarly Ketu does not have any particular house. Whenever Ketu is placed in good
house not afflicting any area of the Birth Chart / Horoscope, it promotes good results
of that house where it is placed. If Ketu is near the midpoint of any house, it
deteriorates the significance of all houses, aspected by malefic Ketu. Simultaneously
it gives spiritualism, miseries, denial, etc. Besides this whenever malefic Ketu is in
the sign of exaltation and not near the mid point then also it gives good results.
