Ketu in the 12th house of the solar return

Ketu in the 12th house of the solar return is favourable for spiritual practice and solitude: the year helps to let go of the past, spend less on the superfluous and find peace in simple things.

The twelfth house of the solar return is solitude, sleep, expenses, foreign lands and liberation. Ketu is traditionally considered at home in this house: both are connected with renunciation and completion. Rahu on the axis stands in the 6th house and helps to cope with work and rivals.

What the year brings

Typical are retreats, pilgrimages, an interest in meditation and a quiet life. Spending becomes simpler: the person buys less to impress. Trips to remote places are possible, or a feeling that past attachments are letting go by themselves. Sleep may be vivid, with dreams one wants to remember.

It is important not to turn solitude into isolation: loved ones need at least a little attention.

What strengthens and weakens it

A strong lord of Ketu's sign and a link with Jupiter make the year deep and calm. A weak dispositor and malefic conjunctions add unforeseen expenses or restless sleep.
