Venus the planet of relationship, harmony , business and wealth

 

Venus is regarded as the planet of luxury and beauty but I prefer to call it a planet of balance , harmony, business and wealth. With wealth may come beauty and luxury as by product . Venus loves independence and connecting with people both on  professional and personal level and seeks to gain through long term relationship . It is not workaholic, meticulous and critical as mercury and therefore becomes debilitated in Virgo . It  belives in delegating responsibility rather than doing everything by self and therefore can work with large teams . The growth in Venus lies in knowing who is the best fit for a particular work on the other hand  mercury loves in execution of the task so both are freindly by nature as one complement the other.                       Venus loves to negotiate deals and so do mercury but while mercury's nature is a bit transactional that of Venus is of seeking life time value . Mercury loves to live by the moment while Venus has a nature of continous engagement . Venus moves ahead by contacts while mercury moves ahead by skills. Mercury loves to win by argument while Venus wins by dissolving all arguments. So it is the planet of harmony.  

Venus loves to work indepently and so chooses business over job where it can apply full creativity and attain self satisfaction it has no charm like mercury in showing skills and competitive edge over co workers  and wealth is by product of business . while mercury naturally competes in job The arena of competition of Venus is wealth . The focus on different needs create different mind set and so Venus end up accumulating more wealth than mercury where the focus is more on learning job related skills .

ketu Venus Antardasha - Loss of Wealth or increase in expenditure , trouble with spouse

 

Ketu Venus antardasha will  either directly bring loss of money or will create an increase in expense such that no money is left for saving . Money will be a central theme for creating rift between family member especially husband and wife and day to day expenses will seem too much to cope up with .

                     If Venus is not supportive in the chart it can lead to divorce further aggravating the emotional turmoil. The spouse will not be supportive and blame the partner for the low standard of life they are leading and there will constant trouble due to bad behaviour of the spouse in some case the spouse might fall ill requiring expensive treatment or may be demanding on raising the standard of living . The pressure to live above the earnings will be strong there by creating a strong need to look for some change in job, better salary, some side hussle to support the life style .

Ketu Ketu antardasha-- Emotional loss and feeling of Sadness and low Energy

 

Ketu Ketu anatardasha is a very quite one and you will hardly feel any change has taken place in the life, only the efforts will begin to fail and despite best of efforts any hike or raise in position expected will be denied . People will start plotting for your downfall and there will be a general feeling of low , your energy levels will begin to fall and you will start loosing interest in current job or home or family or education or children you are in, depending at the place where ketu is in the horoscope and you will feel a strong need to change that expect of life . It is just a general preparation for the upcoming Ketu Venus dasha where the change actually starts to take place. The low energy is just an indication that the energy is turning inwards and detaching you from the external world and emotional sadness created is for you to work on emotions as ketu being the south node of moon creates a lot of emotional troubles and turn the person to look inwards for solution .      

ketu rahu antarshada- Begining of the storm , dark energy, black magic and confusion with daul personality

 

By the end of the ketu mars sub most people get aware that something is not right with the scheme of events and they try to fiqure out what that really is, they already have started a bit of reading astrology in the Ketu Mars period but to their utter surprize they find in Ketu Rahu period people who are far ahead in all these kind of occult practices and not only this all also following so dark tactics to gain over their competitors . If black magic is a word new to them they hear it in Ketu Rahu Sub because Rahu leaves no stone unturned to defeat their enemy whether tantra, black magic, occult remedy or other practice while ketu is still trying to fiqure out its suffering in astrology , Rahu is fully convinced that only people around are the cause of sufferings and they have to be eliminated from the game by hook or crook . It is the inflexion point in whole ketu drama where he meets people to whom winning is most important not the path no matter whom it hurts and how deeply . The seeds of black magic are sown in mind in the Ketu Rahu sub and may find fertile ground in the next upcoming  Ketu Jupiter Sub .

The difference in Rahu and Ketu is that ketu finds the source of problems in internal world, divine laws and planets and dashas while Rahu is fully convinced that only people around are the cause of suffering and no mercy is to be shown in eliminating rivals, competitors and those not in line with their thoughts, using dark energy, dark psychology, or black magic if it exists so to say  doesn't matter to them. 

The ketuish person is schocked at the dual nature, manipulative techniques and hidden bitterness people carry in their mind while pretending to be your well wisher and being sweet up front. He lives in anxiety of the unknown and doubt starts in his mind on his ability of judge the real nature of people.  

   

ketu jupiter antardasha- loss of faith, problems with spiritual Gurus and black magic

 

The Ketu -Jupiter sub can make you attracted to study and explore other religions as the religion in which you are born seems powerless . The God doesn't seem to be hearing your prayers and it seems may be you are following a meaningless religion which doesn't seem to  be yeilding any result . The Purity in minds and surroundings is gone spiritual practice seems useless and so do visiting temples. Animals ,reptiles and rodents may be seen de facing idols of gods making you wonder if God has any strength and if he cannot protect himself how will he protect you . Either you turn to chanting or formless worship or your interest is other's religion awaken in any case external worship seems worthless . 

Secondly you are pestered around by ill omens forcing you to think that some black magic has been cast by someone in your life , you may be running into lots of Gurus in this antardasha or read lots of astrology sights and following many remedies the seeds of Black magic that had been sown in ketu -Rahu antardasha by the people around finds a fertile ground to germinate and grow in ketu-jupiter antardasha And if jupiter is bad in chart you may land up some tantric or aghori baba promising to rectify everything only to find the problems have not gone despite heavy expenditure on rituals . What Ketu is trying to do here is to detach from all external forms of religion . Ketu demands penance and to turn the light inwards for guidance . It wants you to take a rosary bead and chant as much as possible . From here till the end of dasha if you follow chanting to some isth of yours you will find some help in times of need otherwise if you apply your head too much in why and how , you will be distracted and suffering more  only later to realize that solution to your problems lies in turning the light inwards. 

If you follow penance and chanting and meditation inner peace will help to calm the noise outside and give you renewed faith and ability to deal with struggles in life . Ketu Jupiter sub tries to internalise religion and detach you from external ostentation in religion   

        

ketu through the mirror of Saturn - Failure in reputation , position and loss in Market

 

The Ketu Mahadasha and Saturn antardasha is period of high office politics , subordination, loss of status and investment . There will trouble from bureaucracy . If you have to work with a govt department then they will  give you cold shoulders and keep your project on halt for one or the other reason . In the office your junior or a person junior to you in experience can be made your boss and while he will be head of the project you will be made answerable for the delays and slow progress . You may be required to show leadership in work you have not expertise and while your boss will be absent in any decision making you will be scrutinized for any decision you take to speed up the work . The delay in some cases may be intentional to show you a slow worker or that some other staff may be hired to speed up the work .  

In some case you will sitting idle in the office but beware a lot of  politics and back bitching must be happening against you in those time and then suddenly you will be flooded with a lot of work to show you can't handle work pressure . The boss will not be knowing the nitty gritty of the work but will scrutinize your work with utmost sharpness.  

You may want to change the job but opportunity will not come . Your job hours will be increased but without work and you may be asked to justify the work with respect to duty hours . Your boss will ammend your status reports to down play your work reports and everything must pass through his lens and filter to reach higher authority . The hierarcy will be broken , overlapping and skewed to justify who is doing what but yet the pressure of hierarcy will be heavy . 

If your job involves government department expect file missing , too many ammendments and resubmittions and delay in approvals. There will clear hints to extra favours required to oil the government machinery . 

On the other hand if you are an investor there will sudden change in government policies to drown your investment . If you invest in real estate, stocks or that matter anything the govt policy will block your pull out and you will end up making loss . There will not be a sharp loss but a slow and steady one where each day you will be hoping for recovery which will never come . You will get clear signal that the market is skewed and the game was a trap from the begining where the people in power have colluded with the market drivers to lure you into the trap . The Philosophy of crony capitalism will look divine revelation and system will clearly look like a way to keep you running in the rat race . The cruel reality of money control to keep you poor for ever will lighten upon , you are nothing but a tax paying intrument to fill the coffers of government and capitalist master and they shall relish the fruits of your hard earned money while losses will all be yours ketu always enlightens but the hard way you may think its is all over  but the worst is yet to come . The sting of ketu awaits ,with your life time savings washed away in this antardasha ,in the ketu mercury next antardasha where debts starts compounding and poor health keeps your medical bills high coupled with sleepless night and uncertainity about the future . What shani antardasha is trying to teach is to be nice and fair  to public next time you gain power but that lesson will have faded in your memory by the time your gain back power and status again . The purpose of ketu is to show you way out of the game while Saturn shows the cyclic nature of the world and keep you engaged . The rahu on the other hand keeps you obsessed with world . Saturn and Rahu have very different energies the only truth in shani vat rahu is that like shani , Rahu also wants you to be in the game and not to get liberation from cycles of life and death.                   

You may feel some contrast in shani ketu dasha only will Shani is good in natal chart otherwise it looks like just an extension of ketu . '' RAHI MANVA DUKH KI CHINTA KYON SATATI HAI DUKH TO APNA SATHI HAI "  

The Sting of KETU demistified through the lens of Mercury

 

Towards the end of the Ketu Dasha you get a terrible sting just when you think it is all over . While the Jupiter antardasha in Ketu tries to rob you of all spiritualism you suddenly feel in the midst of Negative powers and start feeling that your prayers are unheard and (ketu blocks jupiter from giving fruits of your good deeds) ,the ketu Mercury antardasha robs you of all intellect even the wisest decision which you take will be unheard , unappreciated and give you loss and if someone else just present the same view point he will be highly appreciated.   

Ketu Mercury anatardasha will also give you loans and debt as Mercury in kala purush Kundli also rules Virgo the orginal house of debt so debt may come easy but to trap you or may be denied after months of paper work  and diseases and medical expenses will keep you busy and if any disease you have will go undiagnosed as Ketu block the mercury to manifest is fruits.  You may change doctors after doctors but unable to detect what exactly is the source of medical ailment.  Important documents and information may be lost when needed and your communication channels will be blocked, people will question your communication skills and though your reasoning will be very good your analysis will always receive scrutiny and same reasoning or analysis of others will be highly apprecated making your self doubt . The people around will make you feel as if you are foolest person in the Room. 

However if you have a weak or combust Mercury in the chart or Mercury ketu conjunction then it will not be seem that bad . You will only say its always been so Harsh not much difference in Mercury and Ketu JUST DEJAVU but those with well placed Mercury in the Chart the contrast will be sharp to notice . Mecury is humorous planets but in Ketu Mercury all the humour is gone . The people around may be laughing and cracking the jokes but you may be trying to fiqure out the context of their laughter . If ketu is bad in the Chart it can give nervous system affliction and restless and if Mercury is good in Chart you will be surrounded by the dull and the moron who will by their sheer majority  prove you to be a fool. . If Ketu and Mercury both are weak in Chart it will keep you running after after endless fruitless tasks that will drain our energies and give you mental exhaustion. It disrupt your daily routine and Job  .

 Mercury by very nature if disturbed in the Chart shoots you medical bills and disrupts your routine job. In the Ketu Mercury dasha even the daily task or bathing , washing clothes, going to job or school , cooking, washing utensils, sweeping , mopping  may seem too curbersome and you will be chasing a lot of thankless jobs . The servants will be quickly joining and leaving you . Hipochondria may strike in some cases and anxiety is common.          

The Second major impact is on your learning and schooling if you are young and on communication if you are a bit elder . You will be humbling for right words , cunning people make steal your copies, books, project, file works, destroy or hide it , stationary and desk items laptops, printer  will be haywire and needing maintenance all the time .  Your Ablity to recall and memorize may feel weak and you will feel difficulty in concentrating on work . Even if you cross these hurdles , some emergency or routine call will come that will try to destroy your work schedule. Mercury loves to gossip but you will want to stay quiet in all these conversation creating an Air of boredom , the spice of life is gone and focus is on finishing a deadline that you will not get the time for . Mobile that in mercury mahadasha was a medium of business expansion will turn a bit quiet and when it will ring it will  be useless call .   

Mercury rules over trade and Ketu will wipe away your customers and you will not know where they are vanishing silently . In Short whatever Mercury promotes Ketu tries to Block and in a span of over a year it will bring you to the verge of breakdown . So Thats why it called a Sting as it paralyse your nerves and intellect to the point of nervous breakdown and it makes you headless to realize why ketu is called a headless planet . The key to cross the Ketu and mercury antardasha is to just keep busy and not to apply head on what hurdles are coming on the way . The more head you will apply the sharper pain it give . 

The Task of Ketu Mercury is to cleanse all the deceit , lies and cunningness we have done the past with naive people. While Rahu Mercury is all about manipulations. Ketu Mercury is to feel and land into the shoes of a naive person and despite all intellect feel the trap through which innocent person have to bear with. One year is short duruation to cleanse the deceits and cunnigness of life time so in Ketu Mercury it pour down in torrential amount . So don't apply your head to what is happening just keep busy with whatever comes in .
