Ketu in the 10th House

Karma Bhav — career, status, authority

Favourable Results

The native (the person whose chart it is) is intelligent, learned in the shastras (the classical scriptures), sociable, famous, fiery in spirit, a valorous leader, and a skilled artisan. His fortune rises through residence in a foreign land. If Ketu (the south lunar node, a shadow graha) occupies an auspicious rashi (a sign of the zodiac), the native's enemies are destroyed. He earns glory in war, and the influence of this placement is beyond compare. He is happy and wealthy, and skilled at playing the veena (a classical stringed instrument) and similar instruments. He enjoys contentment, and excellent fame and excellent prosperity arise for him. By keeping excellent relations with his brothers, the native progresses even further.

Unfavourable Results

The native is fortuneless, ugly in appearance, and remains attached to the wives of other men. He suffers a great deal in life. He sustains injury from falling while riding animals and the like. He is afflicted by vata disorders (ailments of the wind humour), diseases of the legs and feet, and ailments of the anus. He finds neither stability nor success in business, employment, and the like. The native never enjoys the happiness of his mother or his friends; his father too suffers, and there is constant discord between his parents. He does not enjoy the happiness of children; in particular, obstacles arise in the obtaining of a son, or children are born only to perish.
