2026

Ketu's pada transit connects the moksha-karaka to the Navamsha chart — the chart of dharma, soul purpose, and accumulated spiritual merit. Each Ketu pada shift (approximately 6-8 weeks) triggers micro-level karmic releases and intuitive downloads. This granular view is valued by astrologers studying past-life patterns, D9 activation timings, and the deepening of meditation or sadhana practices. Ketu's pada position also helps explain sudden, inexplicable detachments from specific life areas.

❓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.

Each nakshatra is divided into 4 padas (quarters), each spanning 3°20'. Each pada maps to a specific Navamsha (D9) sign. Pada transit is the most granular transit analysis — it connects the transit chart to the Navamsha chart, revealing marriage, spiritual, and dharmic effects.
