Ketu Transit in Virgo

Virgo belongs to Mercury, and its precision suits a graha that cuts, so Ketu is fairly comfortable here. For about a year and a half it works on health, service, work, debts, detail and daily routine. Whatever was held for the sake of control loosens.

Rahu stands in Pisces, pulling toward dreams, foreign lands and escape. Ketu in Virgo withdraws from routine and from the small duties of a life, and the person may lose interest in the work that pays and in the body's needs. This axis asks for a practice with a timetable.

The nakshatras are Uttara Phalguni, Hasta and Chitra. Ketu moves backward, so Chitra, ruled by Mars, opens the stay with a sharp eye for what is flawed in any structure. Hasta, ruled by the Moon, is the middle third and the gentlest, with healing and craft heightened by Ketu's intuition. Uttara Phalguni, the Sun's nakshatra, closes the transit with duty done for its own sake.

Ketu's favourable transit houses, the third, sixth and eleventh from the Moon, fall to Cancer, Aries and Scorpio Moon signs. Virgo Moons carry Ketu in the first house and feel detached from work, anxious about health and drawn to spiritual life. Pisces Moons have Rahu in the first and Ketu in the seventh, where partnership carries illusion and distance. Aquarius Moons meet Ketu in the eighth and Libra Moons in the twelfth, and the lagna is counted the same way.

Ketu in Virgo loosens the wish to control every detail, and service done without anxiety becomes possible. Digestive complaints and debts left unattended are the outer risks.

The remedy is service without worry. Serve the sick, worship Ganesha, and recite Om Kem Ketave Namah. Parashara's graha shanti gives Ketu dana, and a blanket, sesame or food for dogs is the traditional form. Keep the diet clean and the daily schedule fixed.
