Ketu Transit 2026-2028 effects for each ascendant (Lagna)
Ketu mantra: ॐ कें केतवे नमः (Om Kem Ketave Namah)
Ketu Transit for Aries Ascendant (Mesha Lagna)
For about a year and a half, Ketu passes through home, your mother, property and the comforts of home. Hold these matters lightly: holding too tightly to a house, a possession or a fixed idea of comfort is what brings trouble at home now. Your mother may need care given with patience, not worry. Hidden or sudden matters at home may also come up; meet them calmly and keep papers clear. A simple, uncluttered home brings peace.
Remedy: worship Lord Ganesha at home each morning, and give away what the home no longer needs.
Ketu Transit for Taurus Ascendant (Vrishabha Lagna)
Ketu does well here, for about a year and a half. Your courage, effort, short journeys and skilled work bring results, and they come best when you act without craving the reward. Do your part fully and let the outcome come; this letting go is what makes you win against competition. Brothers or sisters may help. Partnerships and agreements also gain from your calm, unhurried way. Spiritual practice and learning come easily now.
Remedy: chant the Ketu mantra, and help your brothers, sisters and neighbours without expecting a return.
Ketu Transit for Gemini Ascendant (Mithuna Lagna)
For about a year and a half, Ketu passes through family, money, speech and food. Keep a detached mind here: clinging to money, to being right in family talks, or to rich food is what brings trouble now. Spend and save with a calm hand, and avoid lending and unclear deals. Let your words be few and gentle. Small disputes at work or with rivals may also come up; answer them calmly. Simple living keeps this time steady.
Remedy: worship Lord Ganesha, speak gently, and feed the hungry.
Ketu Transit for Cancer Ascendant (Karka Lagna)
Ketu is in your own ascendant (Lagna) for about a year and a half, working on your body, your image and your own way of doing things. Hold these lightly: clinging to how you look, to being seen, or to having things your way is what brings restlessness and doubt now. Keep a healthy routine, and do not take big decisions in a hurry. Children and studies need some attention too. This is a strong time for meditation and knowing yourself.
Remedy: worship Lord Ganesha, and keep a daily time for meditation or the Ketu mantra.
Ketu Transit for Leo Ascendant (Simha Lagna)
For about a year and a half, Ketu passes through expenses, sleep, comforts and distant places. Let go here: chasing comforts, luxuries or every pleasure is what makes money slip away and rest uneasy now. Spend on what is needed, on pilgrimage and on good causes, and keep a calm routine for sleep. You may want time away from people; that is fine. Home and property matters need patience too. Inner growth comes easily now.
Remedy: chant the Ketu mantra, and give service at a temple or to those in need.
Ketu Transit for Virgo Ascendant (Kanya Lagna)
Ketu gives some of its best results here, for about a year and a half. Gains, wishes and help from friends come, and they come most freely when you do not grasp at them. Wish well, work well and let go of the outcome; this is what brings the gain, sometimes in unexpected ways. Friends and elder brothers or sisters help you. Your courage and effort are strong, and you may feel content with less.
Remedy: worship Lord Ganesha, and give part of your gains to service.
Ketu Transit for Libra Ascendant (Tula Lagna)
For about a year and a half, Ketu passes through your career, position and recognition. Do your work fully, but hold the title, the praise and the next step lightly: clinging to position or to being recognised is what brings trouble at work now. Changes can come suddenly; do not leave a post in haste. Your boss may be hard to read, so keep your work steady and clear. Family money and speech need care too.
Remedy: worship Lord Ganesha before you start work, and do your duty without craving the reward.
Ketu Transit for Scorpio Ascendant (Vrishchika Lagna)
For about a year and a half, Ketu passes through luck, faith, teachers and your father. Hold your beliefs with an open mind: clinging to fixed views, or expecting luck to come on your terms, is what brings doubt and disappointment now. Respect your father and teachers, and care for them without arguing. Plan long journeys and higher studies carefully. Ketu here also works on you directly, so keep a healthy routine. Simple, sincere faith steadies you.
Remedy: chant the Ketu mantra, and serve your father, teachers and elders.
Ketu Transit for Sagittarius Ascendant (Dhanu Lagna)
This is a testing position for Ketu, for about a year and a half, touching hidden matters, joint money, inheritance and sudden events. Do not hold tightly to what is uncertain: clinging to a share, a secret or a plan for easy money is what brings trouble now. Avoid needless risks and secret dealings, and keep loans and papers clear. Expenses may rise without warning. Look after yourself. This is a deep time for spiritual practice, and steady prayer brings calm.
Remedy: worship Lord Ganesha, and chant the Ketu mantra regularly.
Ketu Transit for Capricorn Ascendant (Makara Lagna)
For about a year and a half, Ketu passes through marriage, partnership and desire. Here restraint is the key: excess desire or attachment in relationships, or trying to hold a partner too tightly, is what brings trouble now. Give your spouse respect, space and patience, talk openly, and take time before new agreements. Gains through friends or contacts may come slowly, so keep your hopes practical. Prayer or a pilgrimage together brings you closer.
Remedy: worship Lord Ganesha together with your spouse, and practise restraint in desire.
Ketu Transit for Aquarius Ascendant (Kumbha Lagna)
Ketu gives some of its best results here, for about a year and a half. You can overcome opponents, clear debts and settle disputes, and the way to win is to let go of anger and the wish to get even. Do the work, stay fair, and let the result come; that detachment is your strength now. Energy and well-being improve, and work and your daily routine go well. Your career and standing can also gain.
Remedy: chant the Ketu mantra, and serve the poor and those in need.
Ketu Transit for Pisces Ascendant (Meena Lagna)
For about a year and a half, Ketu passes through children, studies, romance and the mind's choices. Love and guide without trying to control: pressing your hopes on children, clinging in love, or chasing quick money through speculation is what brings trouble now. Let studies grow through steady effort. Luck and help from elders may feel slow, so be patient. This is a fine time for spiritual study, mantra and learning from a teacher.
Remedy: worship Lord Ganesha, and help children with their studies without pressing your own hopes on them.
