Similar effects = Ketu in 2nd-from-Chandra

[porous speech filters] [disconnected from heritage truth conventions]

[tendency to verbalize any words that may waft into memory]

as with any upagraha, most outcomes depend upon Ketu's ruler

Savings hoard can be high or low, depending upon Ketu's ruler and incoming drishti.

Knowledge of languages and history may be empowered or empty, depending upon Ketu's ruler and incoming drishti.

intermittent ambivalence toward matters of 2, such as family affluence or accumulated assets, or food-and-drink

• May have pronounced eccentric characteristics, signalling an underlying apathy under the foggy guise of collecting precious items or storage of valuable knowledge
• May seem haughty if Surya or Shukra empowered.
• much of the outcome depends upon graha-yuti-Ketu ++ Ketu's ruler

Lingers at the edges of financial accumulation and preserved treasuries with scattered focus, unable to sustainably connect.

May wander through museums, libraries, collections, banking, breeding, warehousing, storage with a fuzzy sense of purpose, unclear on the accounting standards.

Unless the ruler is well-supported, memories of traditional stories and songs tend toward dissolution. Family line is prone to collapse.

Second marriage may be unlikely, unless there are additional graha-in-2.

Although Ketu typically produces His karaka dissociative results, Graha-yuti-Ketu [2] may permit Ketu Periods of the Vimshottari Dasha calendar to produce the results of His co-tenant.

Check incoming drishti into Ketu-2.

Check 2nd-from-Chandra for emotionally comfortable ways of enriching the legacy assets and accruing value which may compensate the evacuating patterns of heritage-abandoning Ketu-2.

Apathetic Akasha-2 tends to unravel the conservation of natural resources. Preserved lineage wealth may flame up, then die-in-the-sky, like a comet [Ketu].

Yet, the passionate, opposite force of Rahu in bhava-8 tends to infuse the unique, individual cycle-of-rebirth with deep craving for over-reaching self-transformation.

Disaster, hidden initiations, threats to life, and surgical rejuvenation may be intenser.

Loss or abandonment of Assets [2]

FAMILY has only a scattered ability to value the native

[Ketu in Bhava-2] = expresses prize = price = appreciation = preciousness

the family coherence may be dispersed and disregarding in their ability to appreciate the native. Tendency for the family to be overall disinterested or dismissive in matters of validation of this child.

Results depend upon Ketu's ruler, along with graha-yuti-Ketu.

EXAMPLE

Ethica ordine geometrico 1632-1677 Baruch Spinoza [mysterious-discovering Chitra-4]

• A brilliant ontological philosopher , BS was nonetheless excommunicated = herem, cherem, haram = from his Jewish lineage, and his knowledge [2] was banned by the Christian authorities as well.

Crackpot assessments [broken Ketu-2]

KETU IN Bhava-2 = Ketu in 2nd-from-Chandra

Ketu diffuses, scatters, naebulizes matters of His residential bhava.

Professor Ketu teaches on the topics of liberation from fixed form, freedom from conventional limitations, dispersal of burdens, and spiritual wandering.

Effects of Ketu include wandering in cloud-form (nebula) and unsettled, liberated behavior in the bhava.

[Ketu in Bhava-2]

anaesthesia (incomplete sensation) amnesia (memory scattering).

• Unsettled, disoriented, free-wandering values.
• Often dissociated from the family assets.
• spacey family, weird values
• Tends to walk away from fixed collections.
• Abandons conventional acquisitions.
• Ambivalent toward sensual pleasures.
• Eccentric face, mouth, speech, song, music, language, sound-expressions.
• Disregard for the authority structures that maintain banking regulations, historic financial privilege, food supplies.
• Liberation via understanding that hoards are impermanent by design, including one's own treasuries of heritage, memories, wealth, and knowledge.
• indicates a disinterest in making any second marriage,

Ketu grants the passive benefits of freedom-from, not the active benefits of freedom-to

[Ketu in Bhava-2]

Family of Origin

[Ketu in classroom-2] provides an amputated link to the heritage and the family of origin. Birth family may be negligent or abandoning in their behavior, with a tendency to disregard their inherited traditions.

Absenteeism

the chidra-karaka (cutter-agent) indicates that one's family of origin may be disconnected from reality, perhaps spiritually detached but often mentally disoriented or simply absent.

Persons of mentally deranged character, or those of spiritually surrendered nature such as wanderers and mendicants, may play an important role in the family history. The vocabulary of pilgrimage, dispersion, witness-perspective, or abandonment may be a salient feature of the family identity.

Blurs the Speech

Ketu-2 may speak in a dreamlike or cloudy fashion, in a rather vague representation of one's core values, without much commitment to material enforcement of those beliefs [Ketu].

Potentially Vaporizes Second Marriage - with exceptions

Despite potential frustration with the first marriage, Ketu-2 provides insufficient motivation to produce a second marriage. Often the power of Undisclosed Others (Rahu-8) creates a fascination with hidden assets which can prevent commitment to to a second alliance.

[Ketu in Bhava-2] even when there are other indicators suggesting multiple marriages, Ketu-2 tends to dissolves the likelihood of a second social-recognized contractual union. Whatever disagreements may arise in the first marriage, Ketu-2 tends to dissipate the potentials for a second ceremonial marriage.

Nevertheless the effect of multiple graha yuti-Ketu can be magnificent, bringing indeed a materialized second consecrated union. Ketu continues to represent themes of dissolution, whether personal, professional, or even breaking up an empire.

EXAMPLE

POTUS-pair-01 tobacco 1731-1802 Martha Custis Washington [visionary-conceptual Arudra-4] + [Arudra-Ketu-yuti-Surya-Mriga] + [Arudra-Ketu-yuti-Kuja-Mriga] + [Arudra-Ketu-yuti-Budha-Arudra]

• MCW's comprehensive business skills, including selling her highly profitable plantation tobacco, added substantial power to her husband's campaign to separate the new-nation United States from its albatross duties to the British Empire.

Severance from Family lineage heritage traditions

Ketu-2 inability to connect to one's own lineage * Rahu-8 appears fascinating to outsiders

[Ketu in Bhava-2] =

busts-up, nebulizes. scatters the financial wealth storage; disperses the family lineage; eliminates conventional social restrictions on treasuries of stored knowledge, dimsisses values-fulfillment, disorients the second marriage, and numbs the mouth to the pleasures of food and drink.

Decapitator Professor Ketu occupies the bhava of Capital = Ketu cuts the head off capital reserves

Often disinterested in conventional treasuries such as banking, food, facial beautification, family lineage, prestige of language (content with default dialect), conventional knowledge, earthly lineages in general (preferring an astral, formless lineage knowledge) accumulations on the material plane

Depending on Ketu's ruler, there may be so much fragmentation and vagueness in the speech that one's intention is difficult to determine.

Rahu-8 yuti Ketu -2

Attraction-Repulsion * akarshana ** vikarshana

mysteries - knowledge

Desire-Apathy = other peoples money (8) - one's own hoard (2)

perpetual underlying psychic grief for some ineffable lost connection to family history and lineage values-fulfillment .

Often the genetic lineage is distinctively eccentric, peculiar, or disconnected. If Ketu joins other graha, the kuṭumba-bhava-2 can signify a dissolution of integrity in the family line, or in certain members of the line (not necessarily all of them).

EXAMPLE

POTUS-pair-02 Letters 1744-1818 Abigail Smith Adams [ministering-logistical Chitra-2] = [vargottamsha] + [Chitra-Ketu-yuti-Shani-Uttaraphalgunī] [2, heritage values, family lineage, storytelling]

Ketu-yuti-Shani-Kanya. A family afflicted, a mother's sorrow.

• The Adams Family is famed for its mix of extraordinary legalist leaders [Shani] with miserable suffering of substance-addiction and depression [Ketu]. Two of AA's adult sons, two of her grandsons, and her uncle all died of severe alcoholism.

• This deteriorating, disconnecting family alcoholism was not just an unsavory habit; it was driven by legacy [2] patterns of depression [Shani] self-annihilation [Ketu]. AA's 6th child was stillborn

• (Kuja in 3rd-from-Chandra = 6th child).

• Her son POTUS-06 John Quincy Adams was said to have suffered extremely debilitating, recurring bouts of depression. Two of JQA's own sons also died in despair - one from alcoholism, and one from depression-driven suicide [Ketu abandonment, abdication].

Ketu-2 = ambivalent about second-marriage, treasuries, historical-linguistic knowledge, speech-song, storage-preservation, and dematerialization.

Weaknesses in the second marriage. Weakness when manageable presents opportunities for growth.

If additional graha occupy bhava-2, expect more visible activity Yet, there will remain a perceivable eccentric mismatch of accumulated values with present life behavior.

When Professor Ketu must deliver His instruction in the classroom-2 which = svabhava of Shukra dedicated to balancing, accumulating, materializing, form-harmonizing, then the environment may reflect eccentricity, off-orbit, inequality, off-balance in matters of food, family, finance (2).

Long-term material accumulation hoarding behavior may be inhibited by doubt re: ability to connect to: affluence, family property, food, wines, museums, hoarded goods, history of one's people, blood and values lineages, all varieties of values, historic traditions, costume, song, stories, tales, banking, conservation, ethics, aesthetics, loss of siblings, loss of administrative routine, loss of habitual small group communications

Apathetic or detached from accumulations and features: hair, teeth, mouth, in the body; moveable wealth, history, values in the family, including their herds of animals;

little interest in drama, spoken poetry, or song

Regardless of how one is really handling the world of home and country, the native can passively reflect the historic narrative values image of the psychic projections of the collective unconscious.

" No barriers " Ketu connects the native to the experiences of His house through direct intuition. No analysis, no cultural filters. In bhava-2, the experience is acquisition of financial wealth and ancient knowledge, including historic tales and languages.

Karaka for "falling into the hoard" .

Depending on the strength of Ketu's lord, one may accidentally 'fall into' great collections of financial wealth , but such accumulated luxury has little attraction for the native .

One may have a neutral disregard for sensual pleasures, indulging or not, with no limits and no special concern for public opinion, on an erratic basis.

Detached from the family values-history-language lineage.

Disregard [Ketu] for the consequences of speech-acts. May be outspoken

EXAMPLE

Second Sex 1908-1986 social theory Simone de Beauvoir + [promissory-avowing Pūrvāṣāḍhā-3] + [Pūrvāṣāḍhā-Ketu-yuti-Surya-Pūrvāṣāḍhā] + [Pūrvāṣāḍhā-Ketu-yuti-Budha-Pūrvāṣāḍhā]

• SdB was an outspoken critic of social-economic prejudice against women, spoke openly of alternative sexual behaviors, remained in a lifelong unmarried partnership despite her upbringing in a stiffly judgmental bourgeois environment.

May face difficulties in saving money since at a fundamental psychological level one simply does not believe that collecting things is important.

Speech may sound apathetic, or it may function as a signal of surrender

SCATTERS the capital assets, dissolves the collections, releases the family's lineage holdings

power-vacuuam

in the areas of Shukra the Hoarder's natural terrain

• One's connection to the power-source of historical, collected wealth is somehow severed.

*****************

sees the weaknesses in the compulsive human collecting behaviors: treasury, banking, wealth-storage, database, recording, containment patterns

lacks accountability toward the genetic line, toward the historical knowledge, toward the treasuries of stored values, toward the bankers, toward the singers, toward the tellers of tales

goes roaming from the lineage values-fulfillment

incoherent or scattered speech

senseless songs, dispersed material assets

typically one has a passionate interest [Rahu] is secret, confidential assets but feels apathetic toward the more visible, materialized assets [Ketu]

wanders away from the contained treasuries

separated from the family of origin

apathy toward containment, knowledge, food, second marriage, bio-death

indecisively unable to make up the mind in matters of language, history, collections, storage, treasuries of valuable commodities and knowledge

Vasana-Karaka Ketu creates a vacuum in matters of heritage values, treasuries, family lineage, historical-linguistic knowledge, speech-song, and storage-preservation.

Decapitated Ketu in bhava-2 = apathetic toward accumulation of Capital.

• Ketu in bhava-2 does not harm wealth contributed by other graha. If Ketu's lord is strong, or the vriddhi-pati-11 , dharmesha-9 , and vidya-pati-5 are well placed, one may indeed acquire treasury via profession, via marriage, via secret connections of Rahu-8, or other methods. Ketu-2 assures only that one may feel disinterested toward treasuries.

• Ketu in bhava-2 does weaken the link to family. Frequently there is disruption within the family lineage, such as mental illness, so that the native leaves the family in some fashion. For example, one may choose an expatriate career or other method of separation [Ketu] from family culture (kuṭumba) .

• so long as language-karaka Guru is strong, Ketu in bhava-2 does not harm acquisition of languages. However, the native places very little importance upon facility in language, and speech may be empty of viable content or even incoherent.

Scattered Ketu's weak magnetic force = disinterest toward actions = collect, obtain, maintain, or retain connection. In particular Ketu exhibits ambivalence toward hoarding of

• Stored Natural resources,
• fields and forests
• herds and hoards
• store-holds, historical records, storage, restorations
• memory
• treasuries of valuable goods and conserved knowledge; treasure-chests; banks and financial records
• traditional sources of value

• skandha (heaps of stuff)

• Family History; Right Eye; Face and hair; mouth, songs and Speech

Displaced pleasure sensations due to death or rejection of the historic values lineage.

Dispersion, scattering of sensual indulgence.

Visual pleasures pulverized; inattention to the field of vision, especially right eye.

Disengaged from historic lineage values-fulfillment of one's people; derives little pleasure from collections and treasuries.

Aware of the dictum that it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the gates of heaven. Not an accumulator as a ruler.

Marginalized by the financial establishment.

Considered highly eccentric, odd, or even (+ Shani) ostracized by the class of historically monied families.

Ketu in 2 = Long-term material success is inhibited by disregard toward or inability to significantly connect with

• family history, traditional weighting of values, language and knowledge-base of one's people

Dissatisfaction, ambivalence and uncertainty regarding the privilege to express accrued historical values. Depending on Ketu's lord, the native may have language or artistic skills, but one feels detached from their value.

Scattering of validation. W ealth and knowledge on the one hand no-barriers to acquire it but on the other hand, material accumulations of any sort have limited significance to one' own value hoard.

family history seem distant and unconnected to one's essential self. One wanders from heritage values of the family lineage into a peculiar line of work or unprecedented lifestyler.

KETU IN bhava-2 governs family/relatives, treasury acrrual, speech, food, and values

Similar effects may be felt when Ketu the Releaser occupies 2nd-from-Chandra

Ketu in bhava-2 longs for strong values and deep family bonds, but cannot sustain it

• Any graha/upagraha in-2 may supply storytelling speech, assets, affluence, family heritage if Ketu's ruler supports. Yet Ketu-2 can be unconnected to these assets

Psychological expectation of abandonment and rejection by family history, bankers, store-keepers, collectors, the treasury, the learned, the beautiful (Ketu = abandonment, chidrakaraka)

With upagraha, it is essential to check the ruler. Ketu does signify abandonment and evacuation. However, the apparently released accumulations of entreasurement may well be getting diverted into the ruler and the ruler's bhava.

EXAMPLE

Puttarpathy 1926-2011 Sathya Sai Baba [theatrical-demonstrating Pūrvāṣāḍhā-1] Ketu-2 ruler nīcha-Guru-3 in 2nd-from-2.

• SSB and his handlers [nīcha-Guru-3] were caching a vast treasury garned by business cohort. Behind the marketing image of selfless non-accumulation, sSB personal treasury had been diverted into a family office [3, family business]

Surya-Ketu bhukti * Ketu-2 dispersal of hoards

• At the time of SSB's death [2011] the saint's private quarters were respectfully entered by local authorities. Expecting to find spartan conditions with few possessions typical of a holy-man, the inspectors were surprised to find, in unlabeled boxes, approximately 4.5M-USD in gold and silver, along with large caches of currency notes.

Tends to surrender or give away one's accumulated wealth of material goods and lineage knowledge.

• The family history and second life-partner (if any) = Ketu-ish, peculiar, detached, dissociated, eccentric, directionless, odd. Usually there is no remarriage [check additional marriage factors]

• May say that material and intellectual treasury = mirage .

• Disconnected or peculiar speech, odd values, detachment from monetary evaluations and family traditions.

May give a necessary separation from the second spouse or inability to remarry after widowhood or divorce.

Respectful of the family lineage but not bound to it. A highly liberated position, often very creative in the expression of voice and face, use of language, knowledge of history.

voice and face, language

Vimshottari period of Ketu

During Ketu bhukti of any mahadasha and acutely during the Ketu-Ketu svabhukti, one born with Ketu in yuvati bhava may have a hopeless feeling that one's ability to maintain family history, bank accounts, food and drink, sensual pleasures, knowledge of languages and history, and second marriage (2) are slipping away for reasons that seem out of one's personal control .

This feeling of being a distant observer or powerless bystander toward dhana-bhava conditions in one's own life may be even more profound when either Chandra or the indriya-lagna occupy a Nakshatra of Ketuva = Aśvini, Regulus, or

Eccentric facial appearance.

Peculiarities or scattered appearance of the face, hair, eyes, teeth, mouth, lips and voice.

Detached from values expressed through facial features, hair, teeth, and eyes. Neglects the upkeep of overall appearance.

• Men grow peculiar beards and eccentric hairstyles if not managed by their wives or handlers.

Das commentary WRT Ketu in bhava-2

• government fines = 2nd = 6th-from-10th

" ... May make you conceited, or feel depraved.

There is something in your feelings which makes you careful to watch out for yourself.

There are conditions which cause you to worry about finances in general.

• The threat of government fines looms at times.

You'll have a hard time speaking before many people, or they won't accept or understand what you're trying to say.

• Those who support you may feel that they've gotten themselves on the wrong side of the fence.

You may therefore adopt a sweet tone of voice by and by, having learned that it provokes less trouble from others,

• and this carefulness and control over your speech could lead to success."
