Ketu in Chitra Nakshatra — Focus on Constructing New Life
One of the most transformative transits of the year will be, when Ketu will enter Chitra nakshatra, on 27th June…
Ketu will be in Chitra nakshatra, till 4th March 2024… for 8 long months….
Ketu in Chitra Nakshatra will range from 6.40 ° of Libra to 23.20 ° of Virgo…
So, it will move from Kama trine to Artha trine…
From Air element to earth element by the end of October….
& this is where we can experience the major shift in the energies…
Change of goals & focus…will be, from Air significance like intellect, ideas, communication & mind power…. to earth element…. a stable, grounded & practical side of life…
We shall experience this change, while Ketu is in Chitra — Mars’s nakshatra …
While in Libra, Ketu was influencing our thoughts, communication, our desires, relations & making all necessary corrections at a mental level.
Nothing actually must have happened or will happen, till Ketu in Libra …. other than serious thinking or planning.
But when Ketu will enter Virgo… by the end of October, it will now influence us on a physical level…. showing us the impact of those mental corrections in real form…
With Virgo Ketu, we would see the impact…. & actually, experience the results of those mental corrections… On… our health, job, career, daily routine, business, relations & whatever Virgo represents in our chart.
Also, on whatever we have worked upon or planned for… in the last one year since Ketu entered Libra…
But Mercury is the ruler of Virgo…we can still experience… continuation of those mental corrections…& turning them into reality….
Also, Ketu in Chitra will be exactly opposite to the Aries-Pisces gandanta point & precisely, it is… just opposite to the starting point of our natural zodiac…
If Aries & Ashwini are important points of the zodiac, as a new journey starts from here for any planet…
Then, when a planet, enters Libra…we make an entry in the outer world…
It is equally significant as a descendent point of the zodiac…where we greet the outer world… after our inner journey through self…
Now we are ready to show the world what we learned…. our hard work & efforts can be seen, to the rest of the world with Ketu in Chitra — Virgo sign.
Ketu transiting this point of natural descendent can be significant for a new beginning of something major…
As Rahu will be at the gandanta point of Aries-Pisces when Ketu is in Libra…& entering Virgo….
Also, Ketu in Virgo will make 6–8 relations with chief planets, Uranus, Jupiter & Saturn…
But Pluto is trine to Ketu. That indicates the transformation & change will be for benefic reasons….
So, it’s a very significant transit which will make a big difference in our life changing the current patterns…our goals & our focus…
Ketu transits Chitra, every 18 years. Previous transit of Ketu in Chittra was:
From 14th Apr’1986 to 22nd Dec’1986 &
From 20th Nov’2004 to 28th July 2005.
If you can recall your experiences of moving from the external to the internal world or vice versa …
& Changing the patterns of your life, in a significant manner… then expect similar kind of experiences this time…
It can be some extended version of that same event also… in a broad manner…
Ketu in Vishakha triggered a diversion to our life path….
Ketu in Swati has given a concluding impact of it…
& Now Ketu in Chitra will form a new beginning….
See, the goal of Rahu-Ketu is changing when…. they will shift the signs by October end…
It will be all about letting go…rendering services to others, and cutting on our pending karma….
Not getting into detailing part of life or having perfections & avoid conflicts as far as possible…
That will be the goal of Ketu in Chitra…
Generally, Ketu makes us disinterested in the significance of the sign, where it is placed…
Ketu is the benefactor of spirituality, nirvana, & isolation.
It always guides us to detach from the objective & materialistic world…& will lead us toward spirituality, and devotion.
A benefic Ketu makes us virtuous… spiritually intelligent. It uplifts the career, gives benefits from authority & blesses with longevity.
Good Ketu maintains & improves the knowledge, learned in previous births.
But a negative Ketu can bring an excess of struggles in our life where it is placed or influences…
Negative effects of Ketu include health problems, body pain, royal punishment, obstacles in education, increased chances of accidents, loss of wealth, and loss in acute matters….
It can also cause a lack of self-confidence, self-doubt, lack of intelligence, reduced concentration, fear, anxiety, depression without any reason & also struggles in career…
You won’t even find a clear reason for these rewards or losses…. as Ketu is connected with our previous karma….
& Chitra is a nakshatra of creator…
It is ruled by Vishwakarma, the Cosmic craftsman, architect & is the “star of opportunity & prosperity”
It’s female, soft, movable but rakshasa gana nakshatra…
It signifies change & adaptability. It is also associated with the element of fire, which represents energy …. Passion…
Chitra reflects the world of Maya & delusions, which need to be conquered by Mars…
Ketu in Chitra breaks our illusion… & creates a new image…a new brand & gives us a new direction….
The symbol is the gem on the serpent’s apex & it is the forehead of Kalpurush.
The power of Chitra is to gain the fruit of our good karma that comes through justice, truthfulness
We are entitled to have those fruits by the law of karma….
It has high spiritual energy…which can easily defeat enemies & gain honor.
There is extraordinary intelligence, higher education, a strong urge for knowledge, and expertise in politics…
Chitra has great creative powers, giving splendor, variety, & abundance. Focus just on constructing new things…
Chitra is the divine architect of the Universe and governor of “construction” for deities.
So, expect matters related to house construction & reconstruction, or planning any new formation,….
We have extraordinary performers & thinkers with this nakshatra… All types of artists, and designers can be signified by Chitra…
There is superb creativity & natural ability to accumulate wealth…. We can easily gain confidence, with a strong sense of personal power & leadership.
& Mars represents our skills & our capacity to act on those talents passionately….
But, now with Ketu in Chitra everything, all those talents can be hidden…
It will take time & effort, to let it all come out in the open…It needs extra hard work & determination…
On a positive note, Mars is quick & impulsive in action…he is a fighter…
Mars is a masculine planet that signifies strength & supremacy.
It is associated with courage, enthusiasm, activity, youth, vitality, dynamism, confidence, initiation, innovation, & originality.
While in Libra, till October, Ketu will be mostly balancing the scales & will try to bring justice with diplomacy…
When it comes to Chitra Nakshatra with the Libra sign, the energy is mostly used in showing passion & fulfilling desires.
There can be high ambition & determination to achieve targets.
More of interactions & everything will be in a, give & take relationship…
But when Ketu is in the earthy sign of Virgo, it gives a lot of mystery & secrecy….
It gives stable temperament & mind … where we may have deep thoughts & analysis…
But we also have a safe limit to everything….
We say Kuja vat Ketu…. Both, Mars & Ketu, represents Fire element…So, Ketu in Chitra will be too much fire…
We can expect more aggression, passion, action…& Mars will be the handler of Ketu, to give results…
So, the position of Mars with respect to Ketu is important to know during this transit of Ketu in Chitra….
Check the strength of transit Mars & your natal Mars as Ketu will derive its energy from this Mars.
Mars is not very comfortable giving results in both…. Libra & Virgo…. being not friendly signs to Mars….
But we can certainly see quicker results than earlier…. as so far Ketu was in the nakshatra of slower-moving planets… Saturn, Jupiter, Rahu…
& Now start from Ketu in Chitra, it will be in faster-moving planets, Mars, Moon, Sun & Venus…
Sharing here… the transit of Mars when Ketu is in Chitra Nakshatra for your reference & also the conjunctions Ketu will make during this transit.
If you observe closely the time around October & November, is most sensitive with the conjunction & placement part …
The most tricky time will be when Mars… the nakshatra lord of Chitra will conjunct Ketu…. Almost, the entire October
See, Ketu is an extreme planet…. Either there is too much of something or a total absence of things….
So, in any circumstance… maintaining balance is very important …
This time demands your patience & cautious action… think twice before doing, or saying anything…take guidance from others & evaluate yourself at each level…
Notice, the series of Ketu conjunctions in October…. We also have a Solar & Lunar eclipse on the 14th & 29th of October.
See, there is nothing to worry about but to be prepared for.. any sudden change & handle it with thoughtfulness…
Astrology is indicative science & makes us cautious about our reactions to difficult circumstances….
So be aware of this time… Stay alert, when the energies are shifting…
Then, Ketu will transit in Scorpio, Libra, Virgo & Leo navamsa…. & will be vargottama for nearly 4 months…
Ketu will be in the Libra & Virgo sign, both in D1 & Navamsa chart & will be capable to give concrete results….
The timeline will be from September to December when Ketu will be strong…
Note this time… expect results of Rahu-Ketu in Aries-Libra sign & a new beginning in a significant manner…
