Graha - Bhava

Ketu

in Vyaya Bhava-12

Distanced, disengaged, and dissatisfied from the privileges of bhava-12 = privacy, sanctuary, invisibility, spiritual guidance, clairsentient direction, sleep.

• Insomnia.

• Michael Jackson, Virginia Woolf

One's connection to the source of sanctuary is somehow severed. similar to Ketu in 8, this is a fairly good or anyway relatively less problematic placement.

One longs for - but cannot sustain (Ketu) peaceful reflection and bed pleasures.

One longs for - but cannot sustain (Ketu) privacy, invisibility, sanctuary

Ketu periods give splendid results for extended spiritual retreat.

Gives meditative instincts and private pleasures if Ketu's lord is strong, but Ketu-12 may feel distanced, disengaged, and dissatisfied with these gifts.

Residing in 8 or 12, Ketu is unable to hold onto things which are not, by definition, materially sustainable, and so the results are often favorable or at least not too difficult to manage. Randhrastana is probably the best place for Ketu and Vyayabhava is good too.

Scattered Ketu's weak psychic boundaries create difficulty to achieve, obtain, maintain, or retain connection to:

• Sanctuary, enclosure, peace of mind, prayerful states of mind, pleasant dreams

• Ancestors and spirit guides, dreams, clairsentience

• Distant Lands, long sojourn or residence in distant lands,

• spa, retreat, hospital, hostel, hotel, monastery, cloister, prison,

• taking refuge, holiday resort

• seclusion, isolation, privacy, bedroom,

• imagination, meditation, artist's studio, science laboratory

• father-guru-professor's caretakers or parents (4th from 9), partner's enemies, illness of the spouse (6th from 7), wealth of friends (2nd from 11), social recognition for communications messaging (10th fr 3)

Scattering instruction conveyed by ancestral voices

• Their message = "abandon all hope".

Fragmented or disconnected intuition due to weak psychic boundaries whilst an ambitious and charismatic criminal (Rahu) enjoys an adversarial or exploitive environment (6). The mothers relatives may have predatory characteristics and while the native is aware of this situation, one is unable to prevent their illicit activities.

Scattering effects within enclosures such as hospitals and hotels. Beneficially, the enemies of the partner are dispersed. However the father's caretakers (4th-from-9th) are not a wholesome influence.

Directive signals from the ancestors (12) may become scattered; although dream-life is easy to access. Beneficially, a preponderance of instruction from spirit guides which emphasizes and instructs on the topics of sacrifice, severance, surrender, release, and forgiveness.

Ketu is generally not interested in conventional methods of reflection and prayer. Public worship may be coherent but private worship may be eccentric and eclectic.

Beneficially, the opportunity for direct clairsentient revelation on a private basis is wide open, presuming that L-12 is well disposed. Ketu-12 may grant exceptionally gifted clairvoyance.

Yet if clairsentient gifts are noticed there can be initial negative effects of incomplete grounding and inability to control an inconsisten flow of guidance. It may be difficult to "turn off" the source of intuitive instruction.

Ketu-12 in Meena

Ketu in the 12th bhava affects relationships in the private bedroom, the meditation hall, the prayer sanctuary, the monastery, and the dream world.

Tends to surrender the integrity of boundaries between the material world and the spirit world, such that one may become the tool of strong spirits.

In practical terms, there is often difficulty to establish any reliable boundaries in one's life, and there may be a rather hopeless struggle to establish sanctuary (Bill Gates).

The bedroom is not well guarded and one may if the lord is unfavorable be intruded upon (Virginia Woolf)

Ketu in 6, 8, or 12 gives the "teflon" advantage - dushthamsha effects "slip off" of the native 's consciousness.

Apathetic or detached toward conditions of privacy, fantasies, imaginative worlds, enclosed pleasure-sanctuary relationships, animosity in contractual relationships, animosity with the spouse, long journeys, foreign travels, loss of identity, sanctuary, monastery, hospital, prison, concentration camps, asylum, meditation, enclosures, labyrinths, research, libraries, imagination, foreign identity, pilgrimage, surrender

• Neglects or is disinterested in: private enclosures, he imagination, the intuition, privacy, sanctuary spaces, monasteries, meditation, foreign lands, long journeys, one's own past lives, hospitals and hospital officials. Tends to act 'against medical advice'.

Will wander aimlessly, disregarding offers of sanctuary. Will also "hop fences" and cross barriers as one has little regard for separations or boundaries, personal, ethical, ethnic, religious, legal, or material.

• after his widely publicized death from injected drugs he received as a treatment for insomia (Ketu-12, inability to maintain sleep) the corpse of Michael Jackson was cut into pieces (chidakaraka, dismemberment) during an extended and detailed medical autopsy

Ketu in the 12th house indicates apathy or detachment toward sanctuary enclosures. Tends toward unboundaried expenditure, meditation and identity loss.

Similar effects will be felt when Ketu occupies 12th-from-Chandra

Papa-graha in dushthamsha while materially frustrating will often give quite good spiritual results.

Feet

Potential for damage to the feet (12) via accident or injury when Ketu the Undefended receives malefic drishti which signals a ghostly attack.

Foot reflexology and massage of feet, anointing of feet in religious ceremonies, may be deeply healing and facilitate clairsentient listening.

Vimshottari periods of Ketu

During Ketu bhukti of any mahadasha and acutely during the Ketu-Ketu swabhukti, one born with Ketu in Vyaya Bhava may have a hopeless feeling that one's spiritual guides, prayers, divinations, dreams, imagination, long sojourn in foreign lands(e.g., military assignment)and private matters in enclosure such as dormitories and hospitals (12)are slipping away.

These matters seem to be rather persistently out of your control .

This Ketu-Bhukti feeling of being a drifting spectator toward the conditions of one's own life may be even more profound when either Chandra or the radical lagna occupy a nakshatra of Ketu (Azwini, Magha, or Mula).

A natural malefic in a dushthamsha generally gives "some" good results. May connect very successfully with the quieter spirit guides who frequent serene, private, enclosures.

Regardless of how one is personally handling the world of private imagery and meditative practice, the native can passively reflect the fantasy lifestyle image of the psychic projections of the collective unconscious.

"No barriers" Ketu places the native upon vyaya's astral-material bridge (12) through direct intuition. No analysis, no cultural filters. In bhava-12, the experience is entering sanctuary of the inner mind.

Karaka Ketu-12 for "abandonment in the grotto".

• Illness and argumentation of the spouse are ignored.

• One is not interested in the spouse's conflicts with others, including spouse going to jail or other consequences of spousal conflict with others.

Marginalized by the ashram, hospital, sanctuary, or research establishment. Private fantasies are weak, and closed-door negotiations fail.

• One loses interest in dreams and bed-pleasures.

• The marriage partner may seek alternatives, but one is not concerned with such a loss.

Ketu the Witness accepts losses.

Ketu the Witness accepts everything.

Results Depend upon the bhava ruled by Ketu's lord.

Double detachment. Native is highly sensitive to communications from spirits and presences without bodies. May not be inclined toward any specific spiritual practice, but tends to wander from temple to temple, or landscape to landscape, just looking.

During Ketu periods, there is a Disengagement and Witness Wisdom via pilgrimage, wandering, and clandestine operations in foreign lands.

• Favors wandering in foreign lands, long retreats, deep meditations, and extraordinary psychic channeling. If this native is engaged in psychic work one should request an outside grounding control to ensure protection from hitch-hiking or predatory spirits.

• Tends to be a loner and while one can channel spiritual information from the ancestors for the benefit of others, one rarely can do this service for one's own self.

• Does not connect consciously to the world of dreams, simply lives with this background awareness until asked to give a read-out.

The material manifestation of the houses ruled by Ketu's lord are not harmed.

Psychological expectation of abandonment and rejection by the ancestors, by meditation guides, and by shepherds or pathfinders in general (Ketu = abandonment, chidakaraka)

Tends to surrender or give away one's fantasies, privacy, sanctuary, dreams.

• Feels that meditation, sleep, prayer, and philosophical reflection are merely a mirage.

Malefic graha in dushthamsha can give good results.

One is disconnected from his inner sanctuary but he becomes available for helping those most deeply in need

Ketu is the planet of disconnection and vyayasthana is the house of disconnection... so despite initial restlessness, the native settles into enthusiastic "giving away" of all attachments - which weren't going to last anyway.

Good prognosis for spiritual release and deep neutrality toward all attachments, even those emotional attachments which exist only in fantasy and dreams. the native tends to enjoy a calm meditation space, but this one will not be much interested in elaborate meditative instructions. Natural adept of "surrender" and "release".

Strange experiences when traveling in foreign lands.

Potential for damage to the feet (12) or the astral imaging system [clairsentience, dreams] (13) via accident or injury when Ketu the Undefended receives malefic drishti which signals a ghostly attack.

Long spiritual walks which vigorously exercise the calves may generate spiritual "hearing".[Ketu]

A bit jumpy until age 60. Then, increasing alignment with the Divine cycle of manifestation and dissolution, breathing in and breathing out.

Neutral awareness of the vivid imagery of the aural and visual imagination. Aware that life is but a dream. Apathetic toward psychic capabilities yet possessed of them. If other graha are with Ketu, may activate the dream-interpretive or psychic-healing skills.

As always with Rahu-Ketu the planetary lord defines Ketu's effect. If the lord is a strong benefic there can be great waste seeking after bed pleasures. More sensible approach to loss if the lord is a neutral or malefic. However even this resolves with time.

Dissatisfaction, ambivalence and uncertainty regarding the privilege to express intuitive awarenessand dreamlike perception.

Depending on Ketu's lord, the native may have prayer and meditationskills or ability to handle matters of hospitals, ashrams, cloisterandsanctuary -- but one feels detached from their value.

• Peculiarities of the complex reflexological patterns of the feet.

• Must take care to protect the feet from psychic incursion of grief, due to an effable sense of loss.

• Psychic vitality runs out through the "leaky" feet chakra.

Resistance to validationthrough dreamwork and communication with the Ancestors; the maternal grandfather, the elder sibling's in-laws,andthe enemies of the spouse seems distant and unconnected to one's essential self.

Dissatisfaction, ambivalence and uncertainty

regarding the privilege to express social, conceptual, and electronic networkingas well as material Achievements Andgains.

Depending on Ketu's lord, the native may have perfectly competent networkingskills or ability to set and achieve important material goals -- but one feels detached from the exercise of these skills.

Peculiarities of the skinand nerves. Must take care to protect the skin And thenervous system (sympathetic and parasympathetic) from psychic incursion of grief, due to an ineffable sense of loss.

Resistance tovalidation through earnings, profits, and successful goal achievement; theelder sibling And spouse of the eldest child seem distant and unconnected to one's essential self.

Ketu in Makara/12

Das says of Ketu in bhava-12

• "In your mind you think of spiritual life as real and true and so you know that material life is not the aim of life.

• This comes gradually as you get older, as material expectations are one by one ruled outas unfulfilling.

• Therefore , gradually through life, you spend more of your time and energy towards serving good causes.

• Also, in an attempt to sort things out in this transition, you become restless, and sometimes try to spend for pleasure, only to feel increased frustration.

• Overall, you should do well because of your sincere approach to life.

• Areas to try to prevent disease troubles would include the feet, eyes and private parts."

H. H. Dalai Lama.(2003).Compassion .

"Buddhist texts speak of four principal obstacles that one must overcome for meditation to be successful.

• The first is mental scattering or distraction,

  • which arises at the coarse level of mind and refers to the tendency for our thoughts to be scattered.

• The second obstacle is dullness and drowsiness,

  • or the tendency to fall asleep.

• The third is mental laxity,

  • which means that our mind is unable to retain sharpness and clarity.

• Finally, at a more subtle level, there is mental excitement, or agitation

  • which stems from the fluctuating, changeable nature of our mind."
