Ketu transits into Pisces on July 12 - July 13, 2014. Ketu, the body of Rahu will give some benefic and malefic effects to one and all in Ketu transit. Know what it has in store for you by an aid of Ketu transit in Pisces 2014 horoscope predictions from astrologer ‘Acharya Raman’.
Ketu will transit in Pisces on July 12 – 13, 2014. It is said that Rahu is the head and Ketu is rest of the body. What can a body do without a head that thinks and what can a head do without a body except thinking only. They are very malefic for some, while they are so good for some that it cannot be described, but can be felt in personal lives.
People curse Rahu for being the worst and malefic, but in reality it is Ketu that destroys many things completely in a native’s life. When Rahu will be in Virgo in the stars of Sun, Moon, and Mars, it will transit. Whereas, Ketu will transit in stars of Jupiter, Saturn, and Mercury in Pisces, in reverse direction of course. Because they are ever retrograde they are taken as direct, just like a dog’s tail. We all know that it can never be straight but we simply ignore its curve. Similarly, is the case with Rahu and Ketu.
It is said that Ketu has a peculiar nature, hence, it borrows significations from other planets very quickly. This borrowing nature of Ketu makes interpretation of Ketu very difficult. It stays in a sign for around 18 months, that is next to Saturn. Thus, the transit of Ketu is very important in natal and mundane astrology. The transit is going to last till February 01, 2016 as per KP Ayanamsa.
Ketu is said to be good in only four houses that are 3, 6, 10, and 11. In rest of the houses, it is considered malefic.
Those who are running through the DBA of Ketu or their period (Dasa) Lord is connected with Ketu, they may get most affected by the transit, others will not get affected to that extent.
Even the classical texts have mentioned a lot about Rahu, but have not mentioned about Ketu up to that extent. I will not say that our saints didn’t knew about it, it seems it got destroyed in the span of time or they just kept it with themselves. It is the body which can act not the head, thus Ketu acts. Rahu gives mental agonies of many types, whereas Ketu actually gives devastating sorrows and physical damage to the native. Generally, people take many precautions for Rahu and ignores Ketu. When the time comes that the things start falling apart, the person comes to know that it was Ketu and not Rahu that was responsible for the problems. But, Ketu is not always bad, it gives many good things, as well. It is also one of the prime Karaka for Moksha, religion, spirituality that are the real wealth of a native and not the paper currency for which people are forgetting humanity.

Let me now share some examples of Ketu transit and the effects it had:
When Ketu changed from Taurus to Aries in 2012 the native had a change of residence in December. The native experienced “spirits” wearing white clothes, in his place of residence and when he inquired it was found that spirits was seen by many people who lived in that particular house. His residence was on “T” joint.
The native`s elder brother died due to cancer when Ketu was transiting in 11th house. There was a separation from the spouse also, during the transit. The native went off to some unknown land for job, when Ketu was in 12th house and suffered a lot of humiliation there. There was a permanent breakup with the native’s best friend.
On December 28, 2013 there was a theft in native’s residence and his portable hard disk, memory cards, camera lens, wine bottles and cash was stolen. He was out on a short visit of just 25 minutes. When all that happened, Ketu was transiting in the third house of the native.
Native was blessed with the girl child on January 21, 2012. Ketu was transiting in 12th house which is 8th from 5th house. However, the child died after 12 days. Ketu was also transiting over his natal Rahu which is a very bad transit in both ways whether Rahu over natal Ketu or Ketu over natal Rahu.
So dear readers, there can be many examples cited for Ketu’s harmful acts. Ketu is the dead body because it has no head so it has no life. It is a Karaka for Moksha as it comes only after death. The meaning of being without head also means end of desires, wishes, lust, greed, any kind of thinking. A dead body also means that it will be used for feasting by vultures and other such birds - It actually is a trait of Ketu that he makes one so naive that everyone uses him for their purpose and then leave when nothing else is left.
Unfortunately, I have not found many examples of the goodness shown by this planet or maybe I am not able to remember them presently. In most of the cases natives were not running through DBA of Ketu when the incidents happened it emphasis the power this planet possess. So, I shared my opinion with you and wish to have feedback from you.
