How do we see the sting at the end of Ketu dasa?

[rahul_2012]

I am Gemini ascendent, with Ketu in 7th house.
Sun and Rahu in 1st house
Mars and Saturn in 4th house
Jupiter in 5th house
Moon in 6th house
Ketu in 7th house
Venus and Mercury in 12th house

My Venus mahadasha will be starting this Dec. Venus is in taurus in navamsa chart as well in 3rd house.

I lost job in June, 2011 but i was able to get another job almost immediately. Last 3-4 years have been quite painful. Before that I was highly ambitious person confident that i will achieve something noble in life, start my own business. Believe me or not, the kind of astrologers i met before 3-4 years back, said only good. Last 2 years, heard very opposite comments from the astrologers i met. Is this the process of disillusionment ?

At job, typically last 9 months have not been good. From my perspective, even if i am doing things right seniors are not happy. I am highly regarded at workplace for analytical capabilities, but also facing criticism for the negativity in me. I hope this will go away with the Ketu Mahadasha. At the prime time in my life, i have kind of given up and can't lift myself up, to even work and try towards achieving goals. Most of the time with family, always down, nervous. Don't feel like cheered up.This is very much unlike me, i used to be full of energy before Ketu MD,aiming high, trying hard.

MyHead,

Just recite any prayer to Goddess Durga and to Lord Hanuman that you feel comfortable with daily.

Saturn Antardasha should be better.

Sure Saindhavi. Thank you very much.

Thanks MyHead.
Sun is at 282' 7'', Venus at 283' 39", Mercury at 278' 3" all at capricorn in 1st house
So that means that venus is deep combust, it is within one degree from sun and mercury is also combust to some extent.
But remember that venus is your 5th and 10th lord, a kona and kendra lord and most important planet. Mercury is the 9th lord, so again important. So sun is 8th lord and in order to strengthen further, you have to strengthen your venus and mercury.
Venus by reading Mahalakshmi slokas as I mentioned and also feeding cows and so on and mercury by reading Vishnu Sahasranama regularly.
Since you have been doing basic meditation, you will find improvement definitely. Keep patience.

See, I have to tell you that I also have the above three planets in capricorn so some coincidence. Also my venus also is deep combust, slightly above one degree but he is the lord of 7 and 12.
But in ketu when I was 10, I am the youngest in the family, my eldest sister, 14 years elder and even she viewed me as her child when I was a kid. My father was an IAS officer. So being youngest, I did not have worldly knowledge at all.
My father was also an MA in mathematics and came all India first and he used to teach me science and maths when in 4th.
I was still a child and to lose father when I was such an innocent and ignorant kid was terrible. I could not digest or swallow that and so did my family. We suffered a lot because of that. Our house owner lady asked us to vacate thinking she may also die if we continued to stay there, so crazy was she(May be she conquered death). I used to tell my classmates my father was alive when they asked because I felt so bad. In budha dasa till I was 9, I was the pet in the class, most studious and helped all the children irrespective of their religion and caste. They all loved me. So in ketu dasa I went into a shell of my own and imagine how it would have been.
Then sukra dasa was mostly good. So combustion does not affect a planet a lot so dont get carried away by someone in this site talking against combustion and giving wrong advises.
Sukra dasa jupiter bukti was the best period till now, gave me name, job, PhD, fame(made me a teacher both professional and personal-music) and all were happy.

Combust venus could affect marriage may be but it would definitely bring good luck that too being 5th lord.
Venus dasa overall did not give any such deep frustration that I faced in ketu dasa. Of course some antardasas were not so good in venus but most of them were good like sun, moon, mars, jup

I am happy to note you are already religious and want to read the slokas and do pariharas and also feed the cows and so on.
Yes, moon dasa has been with ups and downs. At present it is ok.

Oh that is cool. Very Very similar. Mercury MD was reasonably good. I wouldn't say it was really challenging. Being young in school and college, I was kind of happy outside home. One thing to point out is, I did not have the freedom to choose my career or whatever I liked. All choices were my of my parent's. I did not dare to challenge them. Until my 12th grade it was all easy and smooth. The family had ups and downs, success, luxury etc.. Was kind of well off at that time. I scored 93% in 12th grade. Undergraduation branch/degree was my father's choice. I cried/fought to do the branch of my choice and was not allowed (2003 - Mer/Rah). That is when I lost interest in studies. But still did borderline well just to keep my parents away from chasing me. I got a job in 2007 March (Mer - Sat). Lived life to the fullest for the next three years (2007-10). Had everything in money,friends, metro life, a failed relationship, progressing career and all. I took the decision to go abroad and study in 2009 but again my dad played spoilsport. Then after a long fight with them, I got admission in late 2010 (Ket-Sun) and Ket-moon in 2011 took me abroad and from then my mind has changed. I used to be very brave and vibrant before. Lately I have become a coward. Did do reasonably well in studies. Buy health deteriorated. Had serious indigestion issues and subsequent anxiety, palpitations, breathing troubles,chronic fatigue, Body pain, weak bones in the lower legs, headache etc. Had to fight with my body and mind more than anything else. Was never able to find a job from mid 2012. Cleared interviews, but never got in for reasons that were not under my control.

But during the last 3-4 months, as by magic most of my health issues have gone. Now I am like back, full of energy, no issues whatsoever. I have got so crazy about working out. Read somewhere venus at 1st house make people fitness freaks.

I don't remember Sun's bhukthi during Mercury MD. It should have been uneventful. I was at school that time. Ket-Sun period, I was doing really well @ work and was much respected and favored. But that was when I decided to quit that job. Still kicking myself for quitting that job. Could have been well-settled by now had I not taken that decision.

But I am sure, the moment I get job, I ll forget my past miseries and start living life as if nothing has happened so far I don remember things for long.

'Venus though combust is strong in its own sign in D-9 chart" - What does this mean. Is D9 the navamsa? Is that also an important chart? I was reading about it, but did not understand much. I hope my venus does good to me.

How was your time so far. You are ending Ketu soon. Getting into venus, into the world of happiness, luxury, money, family, fame etc.. I can see you smiling Did Ketu period get you married?

Good luck,
Myhead

yes D-9 chart is the navamsa and equally or as important as the natal chart..Your Venus despite being combust may not be totally ineffective as it is in own sign of Taurus in D-9 ..The reason I asked abt Sun as it is 8th lord for our Asc and could bring health issue in its periods and that's why I asked abt mer-sun and ketsun..my Mercury MD was good and I went abroad during Mer-jup

No I am not married as ketu hit me when I was 26 and even if I was it may have been a failure..!! ketu is not connected to the 7th house in my chart...just curious how was ketu- Venus ?

Thanks Myhead.
I am happy that you find slokas enjoyable.

Yes Ketu period was like a disaster. As you say, life is so tough and I too wished during ketu period, it would have been better if it just din't exist.

Yes also my voice is also praised and so is my music indicating jupiter and venus influence. Astrologically venus and jupiter are weak but in reality they are not in my case due to 7 planet combination.

I hope combust venus doesn't affect your marriage but let me know when are you likely to marry.
Do you have a relative or a friend you would marry? Are you planning for arranged one? What is your priority in life, education, career or marriage or all of them.
Best wishes
Dev

Hi,

Try these simple pariharas for ketu..
1...Firstly since ketu is a gnyaani he would prefer you to lead a simple life. Try to avoid any sort of pomp and splendor. The sting of ketu will be less.

2....Feed the sanyasis in and around your area and seek their blessings.

3. ...Since ketu is a liberated soul he wont tolerate religious bigotry. Try and casually visit places of worship of other religions other than that of yours. May be you can read their religious scriptures too.

4. Learn some yoga with special emphasis on pranayama. Never eat a full nine course meal. Just eat what you need and we need very less food.

5.Avoid all sorts of parties, picnics and travel tours during ketu dasa, except pilgrimages..

6. wear orange dhoti on Thursdays in the nights.

7.Pray to lord ganesha regularly and also try and take dhurva grass juice once in a while

8.Rahu ketu work in unison and so please propitiate Maa durga simultaneously.

Do a few of these and you can see through ketu dasha and come out a bit wiser. Ketu tries to goad you in to detachment and the more you resist the more painful it will be. So learn to let go .

Ramanan ji,

Thank you so much for writing this post.

I know, it is quiet strange but I would like to share something.

Though I am a born and bought up in religious brahmin family, some of the parihars that you have mentioned in the post above are part of my life as this is what is taught to us since childhood, i believe that is how brahmin families have their family culture and upbringing. I pray to God daily since childhood but the urge to devote myself to God , the way I feel now, I never felt like this before. May be the failures from all directions and hopelessness has lead me to this, but I really really feel strong urge to surrender myself completely to HIM, this is something which never happened before. I do not feel any attachment to any of my family members, I feel solace when i focus my mind towards God.
This is first time when I did Ganpati Puja at home, we do not have this ritual in the family. But somewhere I felt like doing this, bringing Ganpati home and worshiping HIM and I am doing it. As if God himself is guiding me to do that. Same with Durga puja...last year only when I was running a very difficult period, the members of this forum guided me to do Navratri puja and in a proper way and I did it. Trust me, it gave me a lot of peace and stability.
I wonder if this is what GOD wants me to learn ...what is the message behind all this?

[R V RAMANAN]

Dear akansha,

All roads lead to Rome or so they say...All we need is willingness to walk and God will do the rest. What are actions but mere follow through of gods will in response to our attitudes.

Thanks Myhead.

No I do not have them in YouTube.

Yes, both professional and personal satisfaction together give overall satisfaction and peace of mind. Yes, doing PhD is nice. Wow, pilot, that is nice. I like it but I dont know much about that field.
OK do update details about yourself the ones that you can share for the better understanding of astrology and your horoscope.
Good luck,
Dev

[manya]

Yes Ramanan ji,

You are right, thanks for listening to me.
I am running Ketu-Jup, ketu in 10th house and jup in 9th, leo lagna. Unlike last year when life was completely upside down and too much of unrest in mind, it was ketu-rahu then, i think the process had already started...at first God gave me materialistic success at the start of Ketu dasha and then i left everything myself in ketu-rahu, i cried for it as i was not able to get it back and now when I tried it all, God is trying to show me that the things I was feeling attached to was nothing but illusion and not right for me...that i should go to HIM because then HE will take to me to the right path....

God bless you......

I feel same dasa people, especially when they are suffering, should explore the possibility of meeting within themselves and talk to each other so that they realise it is part of planetary positions and will make them realise it is not uncommon but due to planets. This would help them further to remain positive.
Dev

[astro123]

Yes It actually did astro123. I was diagnosed with health issues during ket-sun and that made me very depressed. But I became very health conscious after that and my friends still cannot believe its me I do not remember Mer-Sun. I have had few migraine attacks in my school days. May be at that time. Not sure though. Are you still living abroad. Which AD gave job during Ketu MD ?

And my Ketu-Ven was fruitful. I was trying to change jobs and got lot of offers, it was like wherever I went for interview I would get an offer. Had a wonderful time. Career was very well progressing. Got promotions. But after that - DAMN.

Did u also face health issues - Anything relating to gut? Anxiety??? I wish you marriage soon after you enter into venus. Good luck.

Regards,
Myhead

Thankfully no major physical Ailments yet In Ketu ...It's been all mental - Disillusionment, Disenchantment & Frustration has been the name of the game - I actually Got a job in Merc-Saturn - lost it at the fag end of Merc MD and got a good job in the second half of Ket- Venus and laid off again in ketu- Rahu (Rahu is in the 8th and is the worst planet in my chart with no benefic aspects)- Was unemployed right through Rahu and Jupiter Bhuktis and then got an unsatisfactory job in ketu- Saturn but something is better than nothing !!

This is so similar.Even I had severe pain in legs last year which disappeared suddenly,now again I have pain in shoulder but when I went to doctor he said, it is more due to "post trauma depression",but yes there is deficiency of vit-d in reports.

I quit my job in ketu-rahu, though the thoughts of quitting had started coming to my mind in ketu-moon, I remember i told my boss that i will leave that was ketu-moon,but he asked me to stay back and then finally i resigned in ketu-rahu....it is ketu-jup now, no job yet....but things have improved at personal front.

Myhead, which AD period are you running and where is it in your chart?

[MyHead]

z

[manya]

Ah, what is happening here. Similar again. Even I was Vit D deficient. Mine was 16 ng/ml. You can see my previous posts, i have mentioned it. But I read a report that almost 80% of Indians are vit D deficient. Weird isn't it. Country with sunshine anytime. But since these days we are in air conditioned rooms, using sunscreen, avoiding sun all the time it happens. I had severe leg pain too, particularly near the calf/tibia. But now everything is back to normal. And Vit D deficiency can cause anxiety, mood swings, poor calcium absorption and bone pain - Reports. Here there is a propaganda/campaign to take Vit d during the winter.

Me in Ket-Jup too. Finishing in november and entering Ket-Sat and ketu is in 10th house and I am a cap asc.

This is unbelievable. Irrespective of the signs of where rahu and ketu are placed, the major and sub periods periods of planets are giving same results when placed in so and so houses....

Exactly what you and astro ji have mentioned has happened to me....I just hope things to improve soon...my sat is malefic and i wonder if things are actually going to be worst or what....
