nebulizing KETU occupies TULA-RASHI

Ketu-Tula provides the ease of No Resistance to pairing, parity, partnership, agreements, equity, equality, balance.

Ketu chidra-karaka = surrender.

Ketu surrenders to whatever data is provided.

In Tula - Vanika, Ketu surrenders to the experience of negotiation, facilitation, alliance-building, contract-making, matching and pairing.

If Learning Plan shows an otherwise fortified development of the harmonizing energies (Shukra, sweetness) then Ketu-1 Learner may exhibit high levels of bargaining, designing and diplomatic skill.

Shri Ganesha ensures that one is no longer attached to Learner's lifepartnership experience, and this detachment liberates both the enemies and the supporters. The Learner's ability to yoke and pair is both unlimited and unimportant.

Concluding Ketu-Tula = relatively easy to achieve and hold the role of partner, negotiator, or mediator. Yet ironically because of the absence of egoic-mind attachment-desire one is unlikely to believe that one's success in matters of match-making or dispute resolution is terribly important. Capable but disengaged.

EXAMPLE

There = sense of been there, done that = quite apathetic and detached even when the relative absence of obstacles has eased the process of establishing alliances and achieving a balanced, mediated state .

EXAMPLE

  • Runaway Bride 1967- drama-commerce Julia Roberts [mysterious-revealing Chitra-4] = [navamsha Ketu-Vṛścika-uchcha] + [Chitra-Ketu-yuti-Surya-Svati] + [Chitra-Ketu-yuti-Budha-Viśākha] [3, cinema, advertising, commerce]

In Tula-rashi, Concluding Ketu's detached witness behaviors acquire Shukra-like design and balance characteristics. Similar to Ketu in bhava-7, but less specific detail. Depends absolutely on how Professor Bright Beautiful Bhrigu functions in the overall nativity.

Ketu = been there, done that

parallel life pull

Ketu-Tula = drawn by [akashic memory] into into the worlds of diplomacy and deal-making,

  • where the Learner may mingle with match-makers, designers, attorneys, brokers and agreement-crafters as one used to do in a previous life;

  • Yet, in the current life, thrill of bargaining is long gone.

  • it = matter of broadly dispersing the alliances, like particles of dust in a huge dust-cloud

When occupying Tula rashi, Ketu may blunt the designing, arranging, and architectural sensitivities of Venus, encouraging a degree of ambivalence about balance and design, and thwarting the relationship management skills.

Ketu-Tula = natural balance, fairness, and justice = lost in a fog; the Learner may err in judgment on matters of social equity and personal balance.

This is not precisely selfishness but rather a blunted awareness regarding the effect that one's actions have upon the welfare of others.

EXAMPLE

POTUS-22-24 Interstate Commerce 1837-1908 Grover Cleveland [governing-regulatory Arcturus-2] + [Viśākha-uchcha-Shani-yuti-Ketu-Arcturus] [12, invisibility, ghosts]

  • Although a huge scandal was brewing after a journalist exposed GC's unwed fatherhood, child's mother was disappeared" [Ketu, 12] into a mental asylum.

  • Due to this action by GC's political handlers, his reputation was somewhat repaired.

In bhava-7, a double whammy of cluelessness about the effect of one's behavior upon others.

Polite manners which are customary to one's culture may evade one's understanding.

  • It is possible as a result to be disliked, considered unaesthetic, badly dressed, or somehow an icon of poor taste in one's society.

  • In situations where polite negotiation of meaning or negotiation of identity is required, Learner may lacks the grace [Tula] to introduce oneself properly which serves to help the other party feel balanced in one's company.

  • Despite a calm appearance, Learner may be internally ill-at-ease.

Concluding Ketu yuti Shukra-svakshetra may produce a genius of unorthodox costume design, or an avant-garde style in arts or theatre.

The result of disturbance in the natural balance of things may be awkward but it might also be interesting - at least temporarily.
