tail of the demon snake. Remaining is the body of asura Rahu after Lord Vishnu
slayed him. Ketu is Tamas in nature. The time span of Ketu Maha Dasha is 7

believed Ketu puts on tremendous effect on human life. It brings both positive
and negative effects. When Ketu is in favour it brings prosperity to man’s
life. It increases wisdom and good health. When Ketu is not in favour it brings
sudden loss, mental trauma, unnecessary depression and anxiety. A person who is
running the positive effects of Ketu are blesses with both wealth and spiritual
knowledge. During Ketu Dasha there will be lack of happiness and our trouble
will be doubled. Ketu makes a person totally weak inside and make them to work
hard to the core but does not provide worthy results. A person becomes
insincere and restless during this period. There will be downfall in both
personal and professional life. Health-wise Ketu is connected to deafness and
defect of speech.
