Ketu in Dhanu (Sagittarius)
Ketu is placed by its sign lord in Sagittarius.
Ketu signifies detachment, spirituality and past-life skill (South Node); Sagittarius is a dual fire sign ruled by Jupiter. The two blend as follows.
Strength of the placement
Ketu is neutral here — neither helped nor hindered by the sign. Its results depend heavily on the house it falls in, the aspects it receives and its Dasha. Read it as a background influence rather than a headline.
How Sagittarius’s nature colours Ketu
Sagittarius brings a fire, dual quality: warm, direct and initiating and flexible and two-sided. Filtered through Sagittarius, Ketu's drive for detachment & liberation tends to express boldly and visibly.
What it tends to give
At its best this placement supports detachment & liberation, spirituality & research, intuition & healing, sudden losses & insight — expressed in the Sagittarius style. Its gifts come more easily than average because the planet sits placed by its sign lord.
Care points & remedy mindset
Ketu in Sagittarius can over-reach into detachment that becomes avoidance, or feeling cut off and directionless. The classical attitude is not fear but maturity: strengthen the planet through its positive significations (honest detachment & liberation), and read the result alongside the house Ketu occupies and its current Dasha. Nothing here fixes an outcome — it is a tendency the tradition describes.
