Ketu in Uttara Phalguni ~ A spiritual partnership

Ketu, the shadow planet of mysticism and escape, is in Pada (part) Three of Uttara Phalguni from January 12th to March 16th, 2024.

Uttara pada three relates to Aquarius navamsha, which adds an idealistic and humanitarian quality to your quest for spirituality, and you gravitate towards others of like mind. This Saturn-ruled side complements the Virgo portion of Uttara and sees you taking a disciplined and professional attitude to your search for truth. Uttara’s leisurely approach may be challenged here, as you step up with a definite strategy as opposed to hit-and-hope spontaneity. You can bring the best from Ketu with firm handling, however, and acting to a fixed plan.

Aquarius navamsha works on a level of ‘friendship first’, and a deeper romantic atmosphere grows as you move onwards. You gravitate to a group situation where everyone shares a common outlook, and you collaborate to make the best use of everyone’s talents. Uttara’s Shakti of ‘Prosperity Through Partnership’ gives you the promise of material success as well as uniting around a luminous vision. Ketu picks up the influence of philosophical Jupiter through this whole transit which makes a spiritual enterprise easier and also covers any potential downside.

This is an excellent transit for yoga practice and meditation, where you can integrate your desire for liberation with living and working in the real world. From January 28th, Venus planet of relationship, also exchanges glances with Ketu and gives you powers of empathy and diplomacy, along with a friendly group dynamic. You can forge a new relationship at this point, or forgive easily and breathe new life into your present love affair.
