Planet in Sign
Ketu in Virgo (Kanya)
When Ketu (Ketu), the karaka of detachment, moksha, intuition, past life, loss, occupies Virgo (Kanya), a earth sign ruled by mercury, its energy takes on the analytical, practical, meticulous, service-minded qualities of the sign.
The core meaning of Ketu in Virgo
Ketu is the south lunar node, a shadow planet of detachment, spirituality and liberation. It gives sudden losses but also deep intuition and moksha.
Ketu expresses here through the lens of Mercury, the lord of Virgo, blending the two energies.
Because Virgo is a dual earth sign, it shapes Ketu toward being analytical, practical, meticulous, service-minded. The matters Ketu governs, detachment, moksha, intuition, past life, loss, are coloured by these traits throughout life.
