Ketu’s Drishti
Ketu in Aquarius, bhava 6, casting its gaze across the chart.
Ketu's gaze falling on the twelfth house means Magpie experiences a dissolving quality in matters of loss, hidden enemies, foreign places, and spiritual liberation, with that same shadowy influence touching the Moon, Mars, Mercury, and Rahu directly. The Moon's emotional clarity becomes diffused under Ketu's watching, Mars's assertiveness softens into withdrawal, Mercury's rational thought mingles with confusion, and Rahu's already-restless hunger for worldly gain gets undercut by a pull toward renunciation. Xe carries a natural skepticism about ordinary desires and finds xemself drawn, whether xe likes it or not, toward the spaces between things.
Where Its Gaze Falls
In Vedic astrology every graha aspects (casts drishti on) the house opposite it; Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu have extra special aspects. Wherever Ketu’s gaze lands, it colours that area of life.
