How to Make Ketu Happy by Kalai Selvan

Do you suffer from lethargy and lack of concentration? Are you a student who bunks class often or is irregular at work? Do you have poor communication skills?

Do you suffer from mental disorders like OCD or ADHD? Do your problems include lack of willpower, emotional turmoil, ego clashes, illusions, suspiciousness, and unnecessary fears? Chances are that malefic Ketu in your horoscope is behind all these.

What is Ketu?

Ketu is one of the Navagrahas in Vedic astrology. It is a mysterious planet that is considered to be malefic. It is also called a shadow planet as it has no existence, being one of the lunar nodes. As it is represented by a snake’s tail, it is also called a snake planet.

Despite its negative effects, it also gives some positive effects sometimes. It is not as malefic as the other snake planet Rahu (north lunar node). But it can be very unpredictable. It can bring beneficial results in the 11th, 6th, 3rd houses in a natal chart. It causes feelings of detachment and health problems, too.

Ketu is believed to cause lunar eclipses. People with Ketu dosha often develop bad habits. Ketu is said to have a cruel nature, so people fear its negative effects.
