Ketu in 12 Houses (Lal Kitab Interpretation)

In Lal Kitab, Ketu carries specific themes: son, paternal lineage, detachment, spiritual liberation. Its placement across the 12 fixed houses creates 12 distinct life patterns. This guide walks through each, with the canonical Lal Kitab remedy when the placement causes affliction.

Houses 1 to 4

• Ketu in House 1 (Aries): Direct expression of Ketu's nature on the body and self.
• House 2 (Taurus): Affects wealth, family, speech.
• House 3 (Gemini): Influences siblings, courage, ventures.
• House 4 (Cancer): Touches mother, home environment, peace of mind.

Houses 5 to 8

• House 5 (Leo): Children, intelligence, creative fortune.
• House 6 (Virgo): Disease, debts, enemies — usually adverse for Ketu.
• House 7 (Libra): Spouse, partnerships, public dealings.
• House 8 (Scorpio): Longevity, hidden matters — typically challenging.

Houses 9 to 12 + remedies

• House 9 (Sagittarius): Father, fortune, dharma — generally favourable.
• House 10 (Capricorn): Career and public reputation.
• House 11 (Aquarius): Income, gains, friend circle.
• House 12 (Pisces): Losses, foreign matters, spiritual concerns.
