Hi there gorgeous people welcome back to part
four of the Mahadasha discussion of the very
basic concepts After we finish with the basic
then of course we'll go to the advanced level
of these things So the first Mahadasha now we'll
discuss in this one is Ketu Mahadasha The pretty
heavy -duty one which scares the jeepers out
of the most so called brave people. It lasts
for a period of seven years and these seven years
will feel to the person going through it as 70
years. Feels like a lifetime for them. The reason
is Ketu is the sky spirit. Ketu stands for the
sky, the spirit, the otherworldly. So some of
the qualities of Ketu will always come into play
in this Mahadasha, which is to say all kinds
of sudden events. Ketu and Rahu bring sudden
events. That's why maybe they are malefics in
that sense. Without a warning shot, they will
come. And Ketu has a tendency to cut off things
abruptly from your life. It may be relationships,
it may be money, it may be jobs, it may be anything.
Okay? People places things, you take your pick.
wherever Ketu is placed in your jar, it will
cut you off from those people. I know of a person
who is going through the Ketu Mahadasha and she's
constantly having fights and her family is cutting
her off because Ketu is in the second house.
So Ketu Mahadasha is a very hardcore in that
sense. It's not up to you to figure out what
will happen. Ketu will bring it and cut off things
from your life. Why? Because Ketu wants to bring
all your intuition back to the forefront, so
to speak. Within Ketu Mahadasha, you will uncover,
unwrap all your intuition if you are meditative
minded. It will help to a great degree if you
are one who meditates. This is one of the useful
things for all the spiritual minded people. To
start meditating, focus. Let's go from the top
of this list. Element is fire, therefore it is
destructive. When you say fire, in case of Ketu,
it is the spiritual fire. Your soul fire, you
might say. The guna is outcast, which means to
say Ketu wants nothing to do with mainstream
society, mainstream religion, mainstream anything.
mainstream, any money, any clothes, any outer
appearances. Ketu does not have anything, any
use for these things really. So all these things
like Naga Sadhus or Yogis or ones who run after
the meditation or ashram to meditate or find
who they are quote unquote. They have a very
strong Ketu in them, in their chart. Or our running
Ketu Mahadasha, one of the two. People just don't
run off from society to quote -unquote find themselves.
Either they are in Rahu or they are in Ketu.
Rahu we shall see next, whenever. Right now,
let's focus on Ketu. The caste is mystic or a
renunciate. Saturn is called Shrama or work.
Ketu is Ashrama. That's why people run off to
Ashrams. They are the mystics. They are the renunciate.
It's one of the integral parts of human living
is to renounce also. Not just enjoy all the material
goods, but a stage comes to renounce. This is
why Ketu is very exalted in the 12th house. In
the 8th house, it becomes a researcher. In the
12th house, it just gets rid of all the stuff
because none of that mattered anyway to begin
with. That's Ketu. Therefore, the chakra associated
with Ketu is Agnya Chakra, the third eye. That's
the true wisdom. That's your spirit. And this
is why during Ketu Mahadasha, if you are running
one, please learn to focus on your third eye
and meditate. Okay, you might be doing things
like mantra japa. You might be doing any one
of these things, isn't it? Whatever suits your
perspective, wherever you are, but learn to get
into a meditation. Find out what resonates with
you. Really, very strong suggestion of mine.
Because this can be tough on the most gentle
souls. Psychology is one of withdrawal, introspection,
disinterest in material life. Because Ketu is
the opposite of Rahu, which is all interested
in material life. It can pretend spirituality,
but essentially it's a materialist and Ketu is
the true spiritualist. The life themes of Ketu,
Mahadasha will include loss of illusion, whatever
illusion you had up till that point, because
you had a lot of them, isn't it? All of us do.
We accumulate garbage from the society in terms
of, you know, who you are, what you are, your
society, your religion, your this, your that,
I have to find myself, you've got to do this,
you've got to do that. All of this utter nonsense
that we are surrounded by, more so now the case
of social media and Instagram and all that rubbish.
It cuts you off. Ketu will cut you off from all
of those illusions. Suddenly you will find a
loss of interest in material stuff. Therefore
loss of illusion. All material stuff is illusory.
We know this. Therefore, it grants liberation
of kind. Liberation from what? Your own illusions.
From the societal illusions which we have borrowed
and grown up with. Therefore, it gives you a
mental clarity, a spiritual sense of clarity
and sharpness. Ketu is sharp. It is denoted by
a headless person only with a body and holding
a sword in hand. Therefore, it cuts off all the
stuff that it can... anything that comes across
where Ketu will cut off abruptly. Person will
not even know why this is happening, but it will
happen in the way that it is sitting in your
chart. It's specific to each chart. It will also
cut off whatever is 12th from the house where
Ketu is sitting in, by the way. Karmic closures.
Kethu Mahadasha if a person comes, not everybody
will live a Kethu Mahadasha by the way. It depends
upon your structure of Mahadasha like I said
in the previous podcast. Where is your moon nakshatra
in the natal chart? Progression starts from there.
So obviously, all humanity is not undergoing
Kethu Mahadasha at any time. But it will give
Karmic closures. It's a closing aspect. You're
closing many doors. This is the good news. However,
the weird news, if you will, it's not going to
give you in the style and in the way you will
consult any Vedic Astrologer even. It is very
unique to you. What your maternal ancestral DNA
is, Getu has spoken in the shorts. What is your
maternal ancestry DNA, the mitochondrial DNA?
that will kick in. And it will start closing
or removing things from your life. People, places,
things, attachments of any kind. Ketu is detachment
101. So there will be no pretensions left of
any kind when you talk of Ketu, Mahadasha. The
Antardasha durations will go to 13 to 20 month
cycles since this is a 7 year overall period.
And it will go from Ketu Venus, Ketu Sun, Ketu
Moon and so on. We shall see Antardasha details
later on. Discovering the base ground work here.
Just so that you get an idea of what a Mahadasha
brings. We will first go through the Mahadasha
of course. The Ketu Mahadasha, what does it do
in essence? Activates mastery from previous lives.
The South Node of the Moon is everything to do
with past life. That means whatever leftover
karma was there, it gets rid of that very fast.
And then it exposes the truth inside your mind,
inside your intuition and it brings you sometimes
with a twist of arm. Sometimes with a very harsh
tone. That's why it is a malefic. Very very harsh.
This can be very harsh Ketu Mahadasha on people.
They will tell you go ask a person who has gone
through Ketu Mahadasha what life was like. and
they will have songs to sing about this seriously
you can see on YouTube all the people who talk
of Ketu Mahadasha the people who say he is going
to bring you a lot of money just joking with
you okay I've seen this I'm like seriously dude
you need to get a life you know so Ketu Mahadasha
is mastery from previous lives the south node
is what you bring in from your maternal ancestry
And the way to deal with this mahadasha overall
is just to meditate. You cannot handle something
like spirit, your soul energy, what you need
to be doing actually in that period. You cannot
know from people, places, other things. You can
research all you want, but it essentially has
to come from you. So the only suggestion I have
which is the best one, which invariably works
with all the people in Ketu Mahadasha. You just
don't meditate. And if you're the one who's too
absorbed in materialism throughout life, then
Ketu Mahadasha comes in. These people have it
the hardest, all this. Because now it is removing
all the materialism, isn't it? I'll see you in
the next Mahadasha. Meanwhile, take care. Be
safe.
