Ketu in Cancer Sidereal

केतु · Ketu in Karka

Ketu in Karka: detachment from home and emotional habits. Deep sensitivity, a need for inner space.

Your Ketu is in Karka, sidereal Cancer, the sign of Chandra. He detaches you from roots, the nest and the habits that reassure. You may feel like a stranger at home, or keep a silent emotion you hardly share. The slope is emotional withdrawal, a memory that drifts, a blurry relationship to your mother or childhood. Ketu is colored by Chandra. You move forward by creating an inner place of peace, through prayer, nature or a simple ritual, and by accepting that a home can be chosen as much as received. Your sensitivity then becomes a quiet guide.

Chandra rules this sign. To read the sign itself, open Cancer sidereal; to read all about Ketu, see the Ketu guide.
