Ketu in the 3rd house of the solar return

Ketu in the 3rd house of the solar return is considered favourable: the year gives inner courage and the ability to act decisively without being distracted by other people's opinions.

The third house of the annual chart is effort, skills, short trips, brothers and sisters, communications. Natural malefics work well here, and Ketu gives strength without unnecessary noise.

What the year brings

• The ability to focus on one task and see it through.
• A return to skills the person once learned — they come in handy again.
• Less idle talk and correspondence; communication to the point.

Rahu on the axis stands in the 9th house: interest in distant countries, new teachings and mentors grows this year. The weak side of Ketu in the 3rd is distance from brothers and sisters or neighbours.

What changes the picture

A strong dispositor of Ketu makes resolve productive. A weak or afflicted one gives harshness in words and actions that makes agreement difficult. The natal basis is Ketu in the 3rd house; the area of life — the 3rd house of the horoscope.
