I often tell my clients “Ketu tumhey mandir ke aagey khada kar

dega.” Which means Ketu will make you stand at the doors of a temple,
you can either go in as a devotee (if you are smart), else it would make
you beg in front of the temple. There is no third choice.
This is a topic very, very close to my heart. Having gone through this most powerful and
terrible of all Mahadashas, especially the poisonous first half of it, I can feel the pain of
anyone who is going through this period. This spiritual serpent planet is the least known
but the most damaging of all planets.
Most astrologers create unnecessary fear around Shani (Saturn). Shani-Shani-Shani is all
you hear, I am out to dispel that myth with my Ketu-Ketu-Ketu narrative.
While I would eventually write about all 9 Mahadashas, however, Ketu Mahadasha
comes first and foremost for me, as this is the most difficult of all periods, and almost
always gives uniform results irrespective the placement in chart.
Every other planet may give a good or bad dasha, but Ketu is invariably harsh for anyone
that goes through it.
I have seen people undergo a good SHANI MAHADASHA , a good RAHU

MAHADASHA even, but there is no such thing like a good Ketu mahadasha.
My view is that the phrase “7 years of bad luck” was coined because Ketu
mahadasha lasts for a period of 7 years. And thank god for it. Had it longer like 18
years of Rahu, I have my doubts if barring Sanyasis, anyone would have emerged out of it
alive. For the record, maximum number of job losses and divorces happened in
a Ketu period.

Ketu, the planet of liberation is the most spiritual planet of all. All that he wants to do is
to deliver liberation and spirituality to a person. He is not at all interested in the material
world and hence it wreaks havoc at a material plane, especially during the first half.
I think I owe the Divine Ketu this clarification: Ketu is NOT a malefic. I repeat, Ketu
is NOT a malefic. It is the MOST spiritual of all planets, more than even Jupiter.
However, it has a harsh way of delivering his lessons. He wants us to wake up to BIGGER
and more important realties of Karma detachment, and spirituality. We have created a
very Shani-Rahu kind of world where “My job”, “My power”, “My money” “My
family” “My relationship” is all that we are worried about. Ketu has to show us that
all these are fragile and impermanent trappings of ego. It goes to work…and starts
hammering everything one by one.
Ketu is interested in a burning up boatloads of bad karma during its

mahadasha. It would pile all your bad karma up, put you in the middle of it,
and set it on fire.
There are a few things which are almost sure to happen during a Ketu
Mahadasha:
1. You lose your head:
Guess this has something to do with Ketu not having a head. Coming out of brilliant
Mercury Mahadasha, people feel that they are intellectually brilliant and infallible.
However, Ketu Mahadasha corrects this misconception quickly. People often complain of
headaches, sleepiness, thyroid problems and in some cases even diabetes. All this dulls
down their intellect that they were so proud of during their mercury period. While in
mercury they were applauded as geniuses, they are criticized for their “foolishness”
during Ketu dasha, showing fully well that what they considered their intelligence, was a
passing grace of mercury. The intellectual giants often fall flat and realize that they are
little more than paws in the great game of planets.
1. You lose your relation (a closest one):
Chidrakaraka Ketu, the planet which lost its own head symbolizes separation from a
relation which was like a part of you. At least one (often more) of very close relations
is separated from you in a very brutal manner that scars you for life and you
realize that no matter how close a relation is, everything is temporary. However, this
detachment often serves the native well in times to come because Ketu takes away all
that has become useless in present incarnation. This detached attitude comes in handy
during the Venus period.
1. You lose your job:
People often lose their job, business or whatever they were engaged in and are often
moved towards something totally different. However good news is that like everything
else that Ketu does, this is painful in the moment, but serves one well in the future and
he or she is put on the path of destiny.
1. You lose your attachments:
Ketu takes away all that you were proud of intelligence-gone, money-gone, relations-
gone, career-gone. Again this happens in a swift and brutal manner Ketu separates not
like a surgeon but like a butcher. Few people are left clinging to anything once this period
is done with them. They realize that they may end up losing anything at a moment’s
notice. The grip of illusionary Maya is loosened on them and the lucky ones become
detached.
1. You lose your ego:
Once you have lost all that you were proud of, there comes a day (normally in the first
half) when a man realizes his helplessness and insignificance. Once all is taken away, the
ego crumbles, and when it does, it is very liberating and life turns for the better. Ketu
leaves you with only the essence of what you got, your soul. I have seen people lose
arrogance acquired over a mercury period quickly and often this happens
1. You become a man of god:
Once a person realizes that the toys and titles, and so called relations he or she had piled
up are temporary and illusionary, there is but little trace of materialism left in one. Once
he or she realizes that there is only one true possession one true possession one’s
quintessential self or soul, and there is only one true relation that of the soul and the god.
These two things even Ketu can’t take away, in fact it makes us realize this truth and we
all should be thankful to him.
1. Redemption and liberation:
This is the most desired effect of a Ketu dasha. Once you have realized the illusions of
Maya, in the first half and have worked your way to redemption in the second half, you
come out wiser and liberated. I have seen people who have undergone this dasha behave
with detached amusement in the next Venus Mahadasha that brings a fun, possessions,
and relationships. However, I have seen the natives react with a detached amusement,
they know that these are temporary and can be taken away at any moment. lessons of
Ketu are harsh, unforgettable and liberating.
Ketu Mahadasha Analysis:

“Let go, or be dragged”
-Zen Proverb
Let’s look into various phases of Ketu Mahadasha:
Like all Mahadashas, Ketu Mahadasha is divided in 9 phases (Antardashas) of 9 planets.
Here is the breakup of Antardashas:
Period Years Months Days Ketu Mahadasha — Ketu Antardasha 0 4 27 Ketu

Mahadasha — Venus Antardasha 1 2 0 Ketu Mahadasha — Sun Antardasha 0 4 6 Ketu
Mahadasha — Moon Antardasha 0 7 0 Ketu Mahadasha — Mars Antardasha 0 4 27 Ketu
Mahadasha — Rahu Antardasha 1 0 18 Ketu Mahadasha — Jupiter Antardasha 0 11 16
Ketu Mahadasha — Shani Antardasha 1 1 9 Ketu Mahadasha — Mercury Antardasha 0 11
27
I have seen Ketu give almost uniform results to most of the natives. It is very impartial
and almost all people suffer in the same way.
I will use a phrase for each of these dashas which contains the essence of all that happens
during the period:
1. Ketu Mahadasha — Ketu Antardasha period: The Big Bang:
This intense dasha starts with a bang. There is a sudden abrupt change in the
circumstances of a person, and one is forced to cope with extremely new
environments. A major change in job, house, place, is almost inevitable and
this settings chance paves the way for all that is about to come. There is a
sudden dip in the intellectual capacity of the person, one who was considered brilliant
during Mercury period transforms into “Gods’ Fool” and the sharp arrogant aura of
Mercury is replaced by the “lost and foggy” look that becomes a trademark of the native.
EDIT 2: KETU OFTEN THROWS A HONEY TRAP. YOU CAN GET INTO A
NEW JOB, TRANSFER, RELATIONSHIP, WHICH OFTEN PROVES TO BE A
TRAP. Avoid it at all costs. Contentment would save you, else you would get
hammered in Ketu Mahadasha — Venus antardasha.
2. Ketu Mahadasha — Venus Antardasha: Paradise Lost-Hell on earth:
If there is one Antardasha (minor period) that sacres the hell out of me, then it is Ketu-
Venus period. Venus is the real “King of good times” all love, luxury, material comforts,
and fun in life is brought to one by Venus. Ketu the ascetic is the biggest and harshest
enemy of Venus and brutally blocks things that Venus signifies. Ketu, thus denys all good
things in life. I have often seen the natives being tormented by females during this
period, may be this is the sing of Venus going bad.
EDIT: For some reason 20% people don’t face the bad impact of this dasha.
However they get it much worse in Ketu-Rahu. I am doing my research for
reasons.
The people who suffer the most are Capricorn, Aquarius, Aries and Leo
lagnas. Basically the better your Shukra is in the chart, the TOUGHER your
Ketu-Venus would be. Good part: If this time was really tough, Shukra dasha
would be really great.
3. Ketu Mahadasha — Sun Antardasha — Humiliation followed by liberation:
This finally comes as a sigh of relief. This is the point where a person literally “taps out”
and gives into the power of the planets. Ketu hates sun and wants to teach a thing or two
to the hot and high headed King of planets. I have seen this period knock the ego out of
the person. People are often tormented by those in authority e.g. bosses, seniors, etc. and
have to undergo some sort of humiliation. The arrogance of the Sun is toned down and a
person emerges wiser and humbler after losing their ego. This surrender is often
liberating and sets the tone for some good times to come.
4. Ketu Mahadasha — Moon Antardasha — A breath of relief:

Ketu is not so inimical towards the moon and this is the time when he goes a little easy
on the native. There is peace and calm and general sense of relief is what permeates this
period. While emotional detachment is the norm, the native is finally at peace after
horrible 20 months where he went from the haughty prince to humble pauper. This is
kind of a redeeming period where one learns to cooperate with destiny and loses the
illusion of control realizing the power of entities far greater than him.
5. Ketu Mahadasha — Mars Antardasha — Men at War:

This is an interesting one, once the calm waters of Moon have been replaced by fiery fury
of Mars, results are far more interesting. This is the time when a person finds his lost
confidence. I have seen them get into bursts of anger (Ketu and Mars are both fiery
planets). While they have lost their ego, they realize that they would have to fight for
their existence and fight they do. During this period I have seen the native get into
conflicts with men, but unlike Ketu-Venus period, this time, the native is able to strike
back, not out of arrogance, but out of sense of righteousness and a resigned attitude
towards fate. This is for a change, materially beneficial period however, it is more of a
war zone where a person would have to fight to the bitter end, good part is that the native
is far more mature by now and can handle himself well.
6. Ketu Mahadasha — Rahu Antardasha — The train wreck:

After Ketu-Venus period if anything that scares the hell out of me, then it is the Ketu-
Rahu period. And this explains why I am so afraid of the Ketu dasha, it contains two
worst periods anyone can go through in life. This has been called the period of “Karmic
Retribution” and it is believed that free will of a person is at it minimum during this
period and the hand of destiny takes over. There is only one guarantee, whatever one has
planned will not happen. Even the best laid plans backfire. Normally the fall out is akin
to a train wreck, like a train that has been derailed, a man goes too differently than what
he had planned and is dragged off the comfort and security of his train tracks and falls
into rough and tumble of something else. This period marks some kind of a completion
as Rahu and Ketu come together to form one body. This is normally seen to put the man
on the path of his destiny, albeit in a typical brutal Ketu manner. It is better to lie low
and let the storm pass over, most importantly, to cooperate with the inevitable.
7. Ketu Mahadasha — Jupiter Antardasha — Return of Hope:

Finally, this is the time when Ketu thinks that he has given you enough heat and you
have learned your lessons, he goes easy on you. As much as he hates Venus, he loves
Jupiter with equal fervor and out of respect for him, makes this the best period of the
Mahadasha. Jupiter the planet of good luck and optimism, brings relief and spiritual
uplift for the native. Ketu halts his damaging agencies as lets its preceptor and role model
Jupiter do his work. This is the time when Ketu smiles for a change and the person is
able to find some happy period. Ketu’s spirituality combined with Jupiter’s wisdom and
cheerfulness gives a person faith and hope. The hopelessness that has been the hallmark
of Ketu period is diminished and a person is more spiritual, positive and for a change,
cheerful. The appearance of mentors (Gurus) and guiding angels may happen and a
person would benefit a lot from their guidance and blessings. This is the happiest phase
of an otherwise grim Ketu dasha.
8. Ketu Mahadasha — Saturn Antardasha — The Karma Yoga period:

Well, when these two malefics get together, it is not going to be a pretty picture.
However, this one need not be all doom and gloom like Ketu-Venus or even Ketu-Rahu.
This can be a “KARMA YOGA” period that can actually pave the way for the upcoming
Venus dasha which is a good time for all. This is the time when the resigned acceptance
and “passive” floating attitude acquired around Ketu-Sun period is phased out. While it
is able to dominate most planets with sheer impunity, NOBODY DOMINATES SATURN.
So Saturn starts his class by putting the material realities back in the picture and drags
down the man back to the material plane. The optimism of Jupiter period is gone and
spiritual musings are replaced with blood sweat and tears of real life work. Ketu wants to
be unengaged passive observer who is present but not involved, Saturn wants to do his
Karma and “get things done” even on a material plane. Ketu resists with his knowledge of
the futility of human effort, but Saturn persists with the material reality of Karma
yoga. Like Lord Krishna, the blue-black colored Saturn encourages the native
to do his action. This is time of minimalism and high pressure, intense efforts and low
rewards, slowly and gradually Ketu gives up and Saturn dominates. A person might feel
the pressure but mostly the native is “too busy working to feel depressed”.
I have also seen that for some reason, Ketu-Saturn-Venus period is very difficult in this
phase. Often the natives are harassed by women, or women become source of problems.
Also, an erratic Sleep Schedule is the norm for Ketu-Saturn period. The Tug-of-War
these two play can be exhausting. On one day Saturn might wake the native up at 4 a.m.
and keep him working till 11 a.m. non-stop. On the other day, Ketu may make him feel so
lazy that he wakes up at 11 a.m. and then calls in sick and spends rest of the day doing
nothing. The fluctuating YO-YO effect of sleep with an unpredictable sleep cycle
and fluctuating levels energy is common. The idea is to know which is the Saturn
day and which is the Ketu day, and then behave accordingly.
Edit: Feb 2020- Adding my latest learning to this period. While this is a relatively better
period, it has its own issues. Most of all the energy fluctuations. Saturn gives one intense
energy that forces one to work, whereas Ketu gives irritable energy that doesn’t want to
work and gives lethargy in all matters except spiritual. This tug of war between the two
can make a person very irritable, confused and unpredictable. This YO-YO of energy
levels and push and pull of the two mighty planets creates havoc. Imagine a bulb going
from 0 to 1000 watts of energy…results are the same for your body. Unexplainable
illness, bad sleep cycles and most of all ALLERGIES attack the native as the energy
fluctuation does significant damage to one’s immune system.
April 2020: During the times of Corona, I would strongly advise people undergoing
Ketu-Shani to take EXTRA caution. You are most vulnerable due to compromised
immunity.
May 2020: One of my very old clients undergoing Ketu Mahadasha-Shani Antardasha
has been diagnosed with Coronavirus. Would request the reader to say a little prayer for
his well being. An unfortunate case in point proving my research. PLEASE GET YOUR
IMMUNITY SHOTS BEFORE THIS PERIOD STARTS.
August 2020: My client has recovered and is healthy now. Thank you all for your prayers
and support.
During this period of Ketu Mahadasha — Saturn Antardasha can have a lot of intensity
particularly during Ketu-Saturn-Venus and Ketu-Saturn-Rahu. One should avoid taking
big leaps or risks during this period.
If one gets this period after attaining the age of 36 (Saturn maturity) one is better
equipped with the maturity required to handle the lessons of Saturn and would be able to
appreciate the lessons of hard work, thrift, and toil that are taught by Saturn. In fact if
one is mature, he would welcome this period as this signals the end of Ketu ennui. Just
like Arjuna was redeemed by Krishna by making him do his duty.
9. Ketu Mahadasha — Mercury Antardasha –The Unshackling:

The magical world of dasha order ensures that the final planet in a Mahadasha would be
the one to “clean up the act”. For Ketu, it is Mercury. The exact opposite of the headless
“God’s fool” Ketu, is the materialistic genius Mercury. I often call Mercury the Right
Hand of Ganesha and Ketu the Left Hand of Ganesha. Coming together, they
create “Shri Ganesha”…a new beginning of a new life. This is the time when finally
people get their “heads” back. The Ketu lethargy is washed away by guidance of Saturn
and the Ketu confusion is finally removed by the grace of Mercury. Native is once again
able to work at a good intellectual capacity (finally) and think their way out of things. It is
a period of planning for future and they look forward with optimism to the upcoming
Venus period. While Ketu off and on interferes out of habit, he knows that he is more or
less done with you and retires in the background as Mercury takes over the new you.
THE X FACTOR: DASHA SANDHI AND KETU STING: Ketu Mahadasha —

Shukra Mahadasha
Dasha can be translated to the word “condition”. with change in dasha, the native’s
conditions also change. Thus, with Mahadasha change, the entire canvas of the
life changes. Usually it is a violent process full of turmoil and radical
changes.
This period is called Dasha Sandhi, and it lasts for first nine months of
Venus Dasha. I have seen people change everything in their life. Jobs, cities,
businesses, and at times spouse. While toughest Dasha Sandhi is the one from Shani
Mahadasha to Mercury Mahadasha, but Ketu Mahadasha has a secret weapon, “The Ketu
Sting” which is often used in Dasha Sandhi period. Like a retreating snake, Ketu might
give the native a parting gift that he may never forget.
This sting can appear to be devastating, however, like all things Ketu, it will
be liberating in the long run. I have often seen people suffer something horrible
during the Dasha Sandhi period of first 9 months of Venus Dasha. This may include job
loss, disease, separation, death of a parent, even widowhood.
However almost always it turns out to be one of the best things that ever happened to
them. But when it hurts, it hurts like hell. But believe me, whatever the Divine Ketu does,
you would be thankful for it later. Accept the sting as a Zen Master’s blow, which pushes
you through enlightenment.
By the end of the Ketu Mahadasha:

You are more mature spiritually, and know that spirituality matters
You have paid back for a lot of your bad karma and your soul feels lighter
You have lost your ego and have become more humble
You have realized that the world is an illusion, and god is the only reality.
You become a much better person, you are secure in spiritual understanding and have
empathy for those who are suffering. Once Ketu is done with you, it rewards you with a
sense of stoic redemption and spiritual heights, which no other planet can give. An
egoless relaxed acceptances of the way things are…you know that you are not running the
universe. You understand the Zen saying “Sitting quietly, doing nothing, spring
comes, and grass grows by itself.”
This detached spiritual attitude keeps a person spiritually safe during the “fun and frolic”
days of the upcoming Venus dasha which comes from the Universe as a reward for
having suffered through the Ketu period.
In India while thanking God, we often say in Hindi “Shukar Hai” roughly meaning
“Thanks to God” said for something good. In my view this phrase “Shukar Hai”
evolved from Shukra (Venus) Mahadasha.
Seven years of bad luck (Ketu Dasha) ends and the period of “Shukar Hai”
(Venus Dasha) starts. Venus gives you the blessings, good luck, and love that have
eluded you for a long time and finally, once Ketu Mahadasha ends, it ushers in
the Venus period: Paradise Regained:
It is suggested that one does Ketu Remedies in order to get through this toughest of all
dashas. Praying to Lord Ganesha, doing Ketu mantra and keeping a Ketu Yantra would
help.
However, as I personally go towards the end of this dasha, I have realized something.
Ketu is the biggest benefic, the most saintly planet, the LIBERATOR. He has no material
agenda, all he wants is to wake you up to the TRUTH.
In the old Kung Fu movies, there was an often repeated theme, the hero goes to a tough
Master to learn the art. The Master makes his life miserable, makes him sweat and cry
and the hero hates the master with all his being. However, suddenly one day he realizes
that the Master had only love for him and the only agenda was to transform him for the
better. Then the hero falls in love with the Master. Ketu is like that badass Master who
beats us to lift us, who totrtures us to liberate us.
Edit: March 2021: As I approach the last week of my Ketu Mahadasha, my emotions are
that of a student reluctantly ready to say good bye to his beloved Master. While Mercury
gave me a sharp mind, a blazing ambition and reasonable successes, it also got me
entangled in the world, with all its good and bad effects. The “golden chains” kept me
bound.
However, it was Ketu who destroyed my chains, liberated me and made a “new me”. I
have never been so free or so content. I thank Divine Ketu for all his blessings, and hope
to remember his lessons forever. What other planets give, can be quantified, what Ketu
gives, is priceless.
We often start to hate Ketu when this dasha starts, by the end of the dasha, you are so
much in love with this planet that you want him to stay. The Ketu liberation can be most
addictive. In the end, we fall in love with Divine Ketu, our liberator.
God Bless,
