Ketu in Uttara Phalguni ~ A mystical education

Ketu, the shadow planet of mysticism and spirituality, is in Pada (part) One of Uttara Phalguni from May 18th to July 20th, 2025.

This transit sees Ketu move into zodiacal Leo where it adds a fiery quality to your desire for escape. Uttara pada one relates to Sagittarius navamsha, which integrates well with Ketu’s search for greater truth and may inspire you to travel or study formally. You can apply Ketu’s otherworldliness to education and research, and a generous or charitable move helps you while you also help others. Uttara Phalguni is a fun-loving nakshatra whose leisurely approach comes into its own, though it’s vital to keep up your efforts and not take results for granted.

Relationships especially see you with a love for intelligent company, and you and your partner playing a guru role for each other. You can find extra freedom in love and somebody wise and knowledgeable is a complement to your escapist attitude. Uttara’s Shakti of ‘Prosperity Through Partnership’, also gives you the promise of material success when you integrate Ketu’s vision and insight into people. From June 6th, Ketu is joined by fiery Mars in Leo, which gives you an impulsive and potentially reckless quality.

Be careful of jumping into activity too quickly, or of over-extending yourself in work or exercise – Ketu works best when you follow a strict plan. A surge of anger may arise unexpectedly, and from July 16th to 20th especially it pays to channel your energy positively. This is a natural time for working hard on yoga and meditation, where you have inner drive and fire, and no effort is wasted.
