Antardasha of Ketu - Ketu Antardasha - Effect of Ketu Antardasha

Ketu is considered to be the half portion of Rahu. It is believed that after the battle between the Devas and the demons, lord Vishnu cut off Rahu’s head with his Sudarshan chakra. The head came to be known as Rahu and the rest of the body came to be known as Ketu. Ketu’s Adhidevta is Chitraketu and Pratyadhi Devta is Brahma. It is said that the Mahadasha of Ketu is of 7 years and considered to be one of the most inauspicious period of a native’s life.

During the period of Ketu, Mahadasha a person mostly experiences unhappiness. He may face physical, emotional and social hardships. Such a person may even indulge in sinful activities creating further problems in life. Hardships might mostly be caused by people who are in the place of authority. One must be careful of thefts, poisons, weapons, fire and water elements. Friends may prove to be backstabber which can affect your reputation in the social circle as well. Beware of a good friend backstabbing you. There shall be no relief on the marriage front as well. You can face problems that are related to your spouse and children.

Children and the spouse may be fearful, there may be conflicts with family members and mother, and subsequent unhappiness. Food, land and house may be attained.
