Ketu transit for each Moon sign
Gochar is read from your Moon sign (rashi). Count from your Moon sign, as house 1, to the sign Ketu is in now. The classical texts call Ketu's transit favourable in houses 3, 6, 11 from the Moon. Your full chart and running dasha matter more, so treat this as a general guide.

What Ketu's transit means
Ketu, the south node of the Moon, stands for detachment, spirituality, intuition, past karma and sudden endings. Its transit loosens attachments in the area of life it touches.
Ketu spends about 18 months in each sign and, like Rahu, moves backwards through the zodiac. It is always in the sign opposite Rahu.
Ketu is a shadow planet (chhaya graha) like Rahu. Many people find its transit a good time for spiritual practice, pilgrimage and letting go of what no longer serves them.
Frequently asked questions
- Why is Ketu always opposite Rahu?
- Rahu and Ketu are the two points where the Moon's orbit crosses the Sun's apparent path. Those two points lie on a straight line through the Earth, so they are always 180 degrees apart.
- Which ayanamsa is used for these positions?
- All positions use the sidereal zodiac with the Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa, calculated with the Swiss Ephemeris, the same standard used for your janam kundli.
