Planet in Sign
Ketu in Leo (Simha)
When Ketu (Ketu), the karaka of detachment, moksha, intuition, past life, loss, occupies Leo (Simha), a fire sign ruled by sun, its energy takes on the confident, generous, dignified, creative qualities of the sign.
The core meaning of Ketu in Leo
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 Sun, the lord of Leo, blending the two energies.
Because Leo is a fixed fire sign, it shapes Ketu toward being confident, generous, dignified, creative. The matters Ketu governs, detachment, moksha, intuition, past life, loss, are coloured by these traits throughout life.
