How to Make Ketu Positive

Ketu is responsible for developing one's intuition and is not as negative as Rahu.

Positive effects: 

- makes one virtuous and spiritually intelligent

- student whose Ketu is good can usually known what is in the book without actually reading the book, but just by skimming through it. They can talk and write about a given subject without reading much.

- a good Ketu maintains the knowledge learned in previous births - for instance, some people take good business decisions despite not having gone to any business school - or in many cases in India not having gone to any school

Bad effects:

 - such children aren't able to study with concentration despite sitting in front of the book and reading every word out loud

- makes one lost in imagination and unable to focus on a given work.

Effects of Ketu in different houses of the birth chart:

When Ketu affects the 2nd house, it will make the person imaginative in terms of earning a lot of money and fame, but the person will actually not do anything to achieve these. This is a sign that these people may get very frustrated and depressed between the ages of 30 and 42.

When ketu affects the 4th house, it will make one very negative. The person will have a very nervous disposition and may fail in tasks or exams due to this nervousness.

When Ketu affects the 5th house, a student will do anything and everything, but be a student despite having a sharp brain. He will spend time with friends, extra-curricular activities, trying to impress the opposite sex, etc.

When Ketu affects the 7th house and there is another planet there along with it, then it will create problems in relation to that other planet. For example, if it's with Sun or Moon, it will make the person over-confident; if it's with Mars, it will cause immense anger issues in the individual; if it's there with Mercury, it will make them too clever; if with Jupiter, it will cause immense arrogance - bad relations with seniors, teachers, and bosses; if with Venus, it will make the  person astray; if with Shani, it will make the person extremely lazy. Basically, the negative effects create unnecessary illusions in one's mind, which makes them act in the manner mentioned.

Remedies to make Ketu positive: 

• As people with a negative Ketu look for shortcuts in life, one needs to remember to forget about taking any shortcuts - there are no shortcuts to success in life. It's a process. Ketu can make it seem like you can quickly achieve a lot of things, only to realize that the chosen path does not exist in reality, which causes one to be feel very low and unable to rise up again. 
• Kesar/saffron is a good remedy for Ketu - eat it, apply it as a tilak mixed with raw milk, drink it, use it anyway you can.
• Ketu resides in dogs, so as a remedy people should take care of dogs. It is preferable if one takes care of street dogs, as you are doing double the work by taking care of another life while doing a remedy for Ketu.
• If Ketu is very bad, then start wearing anything made of gold - if wearing a pendant, the thread can be yellow or gray.
• It's important to be spiritual to get good results from Ketu.
• To stop Ketu's disturbance, stop wearing any gray colors and use mostly yellows and whites.
• If Ketu is negative, then don't trust anyone - that's ANYONE, regarldess of their relationship with you as there's a very high chance of you getting deceived by people who are close to you. It's usually people in the friend circle, but why take the chance. :-)
• Also, a negative Ketu can create problems in study due to friends. So, learn to say no to friend when deciding whether to study or go out with friends.
• If Ketu is causing one a lot of anxiety, then it's important to wear a silver bracelet, donate sugar (khaand), give treats made of jaggery and/or items that grow under-ground (groundnuts with jaggery is a good option) to your friends from time to time - this is because a negative Ketu does not let one have good friends easily.
