If Ketu Dosha is seen along with Rahu, a person faces many difficulties. The native often falls prey to bad habits. Not only that, due to the malefic placement of Rahu and Ketu, they may also suffer from Kaal Sarp Dosha. If Ketu is present in the native’s zodiac during its Mahadasha, they encounter various challenges. Ketu’s nature is considered harsh, and it is associated with logic, intelligence, knowledge, detachment, restlessness, and other mental attributes. In such circumstances, it’s important to know both the symptoms of Ketu Dosha and ways to remedy its effects.

Ketu, often found in the 8th and 12th houses of the horoscope, symbolizes transformation and detachment from worldly desires. The term “Ketu Mahadasha” refers to a seven-year period in which the planet Ketu significantly impacts a person’s life. This phase can be challenging and transformative, with its effects varying depending on Ketu’s placement and strength in the birth chart.

If Ketu is malefic in your zodiac, it can have a profound impact on your health, such as:

1. Risk of skin diseases


2. Joint pain


3. Weakness in the nerves of body organs


4. Hearing loss


5. Frequent coughing


6. Addiction to bad habits


7. Problems with childbirth


8. Spinal issues


9. Kidney stone problems


10. Suffering or trouble related to children

Apart from these, one may experience various other issues:

Afflicted Ketu may cause obstacles in career growth, relationships, and family life, leading to disagreements, conflicts, separations, divorces, and betrayals.

Its negative placement can impact mental health, resulting in restlessness, confusion, stress, anxiety, and severe depression.

It can also lead to illnesses and chronic health conditions, such as schizophrenia, cancer, and problems related to the nervous and digestive systems.

Individuals may become addicted to harmful substances like alcohol, marijuana, and cigarettes.

There is a high chance of facing lies, deception, and betrayal from partners.

Business obstacles and losses, financial setbacks, and property damage may occur.

Increased likelihood of accidents and frequent injuries to the feet.

Loss of wealth from father or husband’s property.

Remedies for Ketu Dosha and Mahadasha are possible. There are Siddha Ketu Dosha Nivaran Yantras (energized talismans) available. By installing such a yantra in the home, one can reduce or nullify the malefic effects of Ketu.
