Ketu : Effects And Remedies
Ketu, according to the author of Lal Kitab,
represents son, grandson, ear, spine etc. 6th house
is considered to be its 'Pucca Ghar.' It gives its
exalted effect when in 5th, 9th or 12th house and
its debilitated effect in 6th and 8th house. Dawn is
its time and it represents Sunday.
Ketu represents the opposite node of Ketu, in the
tail of the serpent. Its colours are black and
white. Venus and Rahu are its friends, whereas Moon
and Mars are its enemies . Forty two years is the
age of Ketu. Ketu is also considered to be the bed.
So the bed given by in-laws after marriage is
considered to be auspicious for the birth of a son
and as long as that bed is in the house, the effect
of Ketu can never be inauspicious.
Ketu in 1st House
If Ketu is auspicious or benefic in this house,
the native will be laborious, rich and happy, but
will always be concerned and troubled because of his
progeny. He may fear frequent transfers or travels,
but ultimately it would always be postponed.

there may be birth of a son or nephew. there may
also be a long journey. The native with Ketu in 1st
house will always be beneficial for his father
and/or guru and causes exaltation of Sun.

suffer from headache. His wife would have health
problems and would have worries concerning kids. If
2nd and 7th houses are empty then Mercury and Venus
would also give bad results. There would be travels,
transfers with no gain. If Saturn is malefic it
would destroy father and guru.
