Ketu in Uttara Phalguni Nakshatra
When Ketu (Ketu) occupies Uttara Phalguni nakshatra, presided over by Aryaman and ruled by Sun, it takes on the loyal, helpful, steady flavour of this lunar mansion.
The meaning of Ketu in Uttara Phalguni
Uttara Phalguni, ruled by the Sun and Aryaman, gives loyalty, friendship, generosity and steady support to others.
Ketu is the south lunar node, a shadow planet of detachment, spirituality and liberation. It gives sudden losses but also deep intuition and moksha.
Uttara Phalguni is ruled by Sun. So Ketu placed here works through a blend of its own detachment and the authority influence of Sun. The deity Aryaman sets the inner aim of this placement, while Ketu supplies the engine of detachment, moksha, intuition, past life, loss.
