Sun-Ketu Conjunction
Ketu has a natural tendency to eclipse the planets it joins, so in the Sun-Ketu conjunction its influence tends to be the more visible of the two.

Meaning of the Conjunction

  • You may have a solar eclipse birth, having arrived in the world during such an event.
  • An introverted manner is common, which can make it hard for you to voice your thoughts and ideas freely.
  • You tend toward self-introspection, often searching for the reasons behind your own quieter nature.
  • The absence of a father figure can leave you without the wisdom and guidance such figures usually offer.
  • A lack of confidence sometimes holds you back from taking the risks that success requires.
  • You may undervalue your own worth, and not fully believing in yourself can become a real obstacle.
  • Paternal issues are common, leaving you feeling mentally disconnected from your father.
  • Career confusion can hamper your professional life significantly.
  • Authority tends to come to you late, with real influence over others arriving only later in life.
  • A good career in mysticism is possible, drawing you toward a spiritual path.
  • You may carry a sense of disillusionment about your father that leads to unfair negative feelings toward him.
  • A humble nature often shows in how readily you acknowledge the help you receive from others.
  • You may lead a somewhat isolated life, finding it hard to meet new people and build friendships.
  • Meditation tends to appeal to you, guiding you toward spiritual growth.

Who Wins the Conjunction

Ketu tends to win the Sun-Ketu conjunction, since it has the power to overshadow the Sun. However, once Ketu reaches its full maturity around your middle age, the Sun is usually able to show its influence more clearly.

Dignity and Strength

  • Aries and Leo - the Sun proves the stronger of the two here, carrying greater strength than Ketu.
  • Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces - Ketu tends to prove the stronger influence, keeping the Sun from asserting itself until at least your middle age.

In most cases, the Sun-Ketu conjunction reflects Ketu's influence at least until your middle age, since it tends to overshadow the Sun for that stretch of life.
