2026

Ketu's nakshatra transit operates on a subtly spiritual plane. Ketu in Ashwini nakshatra (which Ketu itself rules) is considered especially powerful for healing and sudden spiritual insights. In Moola nakshatra — another Ketu-ruled star — it intensifies the process of uprooting old patterns and karmic purification. Since Ketu spends about 7-8 months per nakshatra, each period brings a specific flavour of detachment and inner transformation that the attentive seeker can harness for spiritual growth.

❓Frequently Asked Questions

Ketu represents moksha (liberation), detachment, and past-life karma. Its transit brings spiritual awakening, intuitive insights, and detachment from material desires. Ketu transit can also cause confusion and sudden losses, but ultimately guides toward spiritual evolution.

Like Rahu, Ketu stays in one zodiac sign for approximately 18 months. Ketu always occupies the sign exactly opposite to Rahu. When Rahu changes sign, Ketu simultaneously moves to the opposite sign.

Nakshatra transit tracks a planet's movement through the 27 lunar mansions (nakshatras). Each nakshatra spans 13°20' of the zodiac. Nakshatra transit is more granular than rashi transit and reveals the planet's subtle influence through its nakshatra lord (Vimshottari Dasha lord).
