Find your Vedic Ketu sign (South Node) with exact degree, Nakshatra pada, house placement, and karmic-axis partner (Rahu) from your sidereal birth chart. Ketu governs detachment, past-life mastery, moksha, sudden insight, and the energy of release. This free Ketu sign calculator uses Swiss Ephemeris with Lahiri ayanamsha and surfaces the Rahu-Ketu axis together for a complete karmic reading — not just half of the story.
Ketu is the South Node of the Moon — a mathematical point opposite Rahu. In Vedic tradition Ketu represents past-life mastery, detachment, sudden flashes of insight, moksha, and the energy of letting go.
Ketu's sidereal longitude is computed at your birth moment and is always exactly 180° opposite Rahu. The result is mapped using the Lahiri ayanamsha.
Ketu shows what you arrive with — natural skill, past-life proficiency, instinctive understanding. The trap is that you can over-rely on this comfort zone instead of growing toward Rahu's direction.
Yes. Ketu is the karaka of moksha (liberation) and is often strong in charts of monks, mystics, scientists, and people who burn through illusion. A strong Ketu can also bring sudden, unexplained mastery.
Classical tradition considers Ketu strong in Scorpio, Pisces, and Sagittarius. Ketu in Cancer or Leo can be more uncomfortable, as those signs are about belonging — and Ketu is about distance.
Ketu's 7-year Mahadasha tends toward dissolution, introspection, sudden endings, and unexpected spiritual openings. Material gains are common but often feel hollow unless Ketu sits in a good house.
They are a single axis. Rahu = chase. Ketu = release. Reading them in isolation gives only half the karmic story.
Classical remedies include feeding dogs, reciting Ganesha mantras, donating brown or ash-coloured cloth, supporting outsiders and orphans, and (after careful chart vetting) wearing cat's eye (Lehsunia).

The astrology is not written from memory: every chart position, dasha period and panchang timing AskSoma shows is computed with the Swiss Ephemeris on the Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa. How we calculate.
