Ketu Transit in Libra

Libra belongs to Venus, and Venus and Ketu hold opposite attitudes to pleasure. For about a year and a half Ketu in Libra works on marriage, partnership, business, courts and the public. Attachment to being paired, approved and agreed with loosens, and the person learns to stand alone without feeling lonely.

Rahu stands in Aries, driving the person toward self-assertion, ambition and a loud identity. Ketu in Libra withdraws from compromise and from the give and take of partnership. Marriages feel distant, business partners drift, and the person may prefer their own company. Balance returns once solitude is chosen.

The nakshatras are Chitra, Swati and Vishakha, crossed backward. Vishakha, ruled by Jupiter, opens the stay with purpose found beyond partnership. Swati, ruled by Rahu, is the middle third and the most independent, where Ketu cuts ties that were held from habit, and Chitra, ruled by Mars, closes the transit with a clear eye for what the partnership was built on.

Ketu's favourable transit houses, the third, sixth and eleventh from the Moon, fall to Leo, Taurus and Sagittarius Moon signs. Libra Moons carry Ketu in the first house and feel detached from relationships and unsure of their own preferences. Aries Moons have Rahu in the first and Ketu in the seventh, where the partner withdraws as the self expands. Pisces Moons meet Ketu in the eighth and Scorpio Moons in the twelfth, with the lagna counted alongside.

Ketu in Libra shows how much of a person's peace depended on being agreed with. Contracts and legal matters need care, since Ketu makes one careless with terms.

The remedies are Ganesha and the mantra Om Kem Ketave Namah. Parashara's graha shanti gives Ketu dana, and a blanket or food for the needy given on Tuesday is the traditional form. Keep every agreement in writing, and give the partner room.
