Ketu in the 8th House

Randhra Bhav — longevity, transformation, occult

Favourable Results

The native (the person whose chart it is) is valorous and is always accustomed to hard work. When Ketu (the south lunar node, a shadow graha) is placed in auspicious signs (rashis), he gains wealth, riches, and a son. He obtains money from vehicles and from the king and the government, and the like. In particular, after his sister's marriage, if Ketu is under the aspect (drishti, the gaze a graha casts) of benefic grahas, it makes him long-lived and wealthy.

Unfavourable Results

The native is sickly, of bad conduct, and greedy. He lives in fear of injury from animals, from the conveyances he rides, and from a falling weapon. There are obstacles in obtaining a son. Diseases also afflict his mouth and teeth. He meets with obstacles in recovering the money he has lent to others, and in any case earning wealth is difficult for him. There is separation from friends and discord among them, and he stays infatuated with the wives of other men. His wife's health often remains poor.
