Graha Guide

Ketu

Ketu is the south node graha in Jyotish, associated with detachment, disidentification, spiritualization, severance, and insight. On Sadhaka it is framed as an invitation to simplify and inquire rather than to withdraw from life irresponsibly.

Jyotish guardrail

Sadhaka presents Jyotish as a contemplative, symbolic, and practice-oriented tradition. These pages are not medical, legal, financial, or deterministic predictive advice. Use them to deepen reflection, rhythm, and sadhana.
