Ketu is the south lunar node, always opposite Rahu. Where Rahu pulls forward into new desire, Ketu pulls backward into mastery from prior incarnations — the gifts you came in already holding, often unconsciously. Ketu represents detachment, spirituality, isolation, and sudden severance. Its house placement shows what feels effortlessly known to the native, sometimes too known to engage with fully.
