🕉️ Ketu in All 12 Houses — Soul Maturity, Intuition, Birthmarks & Relationship Karma (Vedic Astrology Deep Guide)
Ketu is one of the most enigmatic and spiritually charged grahas in Vedic Astrology. Unlike the physical planets, Ketu functions as a shadow node, symbolizing the soul’s past lives, karmic residue, intuition, detachment, and liberation.
Wherever Ketu sits in your birth chart, it tells a powerful story:
- What your soul has already mastered
- What karmas you are detaching from
- What intuitive channels are naturally active
- What symbolic birthmarks or energy signatures you carry
- How you relate to people & why certain relationships repeat karmically
Below is the deepest, spiritually charged interpretation of Ketu in all 12 Houses, based on four core parameters.
