Ketu in Cancer

Ketu in Cancer shows that in a past life the person was very emotional, warm-hearted and domestic. He was closer to his mother and his family. It was more important to him to have family comfort than fame and recognition at work. In this life the person will be more occupied with his work. He will work actively in his chosen field and will gradually rise up the career ladder. This is an excellent placement for people who want to occupy high posts in state service. These people are born to obtain power, fame and comfort. Because Rahu in Capricorn strengthens reputation and recognition in society. In whatever field the person labours, he will easily rise to the summit and will be the centre of society's attention. Vladimir Putin was born when Rahu was in Capricorn under the aspect of Jupiter. He always looks very brisk and enjoys great respect in many countries. One may also recall the power and might of Stalin in order to understand how a strong Rahu in Capricorn raises a person. Rahu raises a person in any field. Yuri Gagarin became a military man. And Rahu in Capricorn sent him into space and gave him world fame. Sometimes Ketu may make itself felt and the person begins to be distracted by everyday things. Here the person needs to be strong and not to think about evening walks, but to go on working in the direction he has set. (Mahesh Dharmadasa)
