Ketu, the shadow planet of spirituality and detachment, is in Cancer from December 5, 2026, until June 23, 2028.

Home and family are central themes of this transit, where you move away from old emotional patterns and look for a more meaningful inner connection. A feeling of emotional detachment comes and goes, with the sense that no one truly understands your inner world. Be mindful of an aimless or world-weary mentality, where keeping personal and professional support is vital.

You may address an old wound from your upbringing or a past relationship and find genuine healing and reconciliation. Ketu can give rise to hard-to-diagnose issues with vague symptoms or allergies, along with sleep disturbances and an obscure form of restlessness. Hidden expenses may also arise, or you feel indifferent or neutral toward savings and material wealth in favor of stronger psychic foundations.

Ketu comes together with Jupiter in exaltation in Cancer from January 25 to June 25, 2027, creating Guru Chandal Yoga that has great promise for meditation and your spiritual life. Ketu-Jupiter gives a softer form of detachment, with the promise of emotional release, freedom from ancestral conditioning, and the discovery of a new concept of home and belonging. Your relationship, property, and investment choices may be quirky and counterintuitive, and you gravitate to psychology or research-oriented subjects.

You also feel a pull towards foreign lands or pilgrimage for inner peace, where your relationship with a guru figure is intense and potentially magical. Try to operate according to a plan and not simply react blindly, however. Ketu is instrumental in transformative eclipse ‘seasons’ over the coming eighteen months, with a pair of eclipses occurring in February 2027, and then a major solar and lunar eclipse arriving in August 2027.
