Ketu represents illusion and Ketu is also the one who removes the illusion and brings enlightenment. Besides this, Ketu represents isolation, separation, spirituality, mystical world, Son, Dog, Intuition, research ability, curious nature, things which one have already achieved in past life and not much concerned to perform in this life. Ketu has 5th and 9th house aspect. Ketu is unable to impact 7th house from its place because 7th from Ketu placement represents all non-Ketu’s things. Although Ketu represents isolation and separation, but its aspects never isolate and separate from the things represented by it’s aspecting house. Ketu only makes a person curious and research oriented and motivates a person to research about it.

When Ketu’s period is running one may go thru various changes in terms of career, like change of workplace, conflicts at workplace can also show up, since Ketu during its time is intended to take the property of sun, which is ego. So facing issues from superior’s side and politics in workplace are some common problem during Ketu period.
