Ketu

Ketu is the south lunar node — the shadow planet of spiritual liberation. In Vedic mythology, Ketu is the headless body of the demon, representing detachment from material identity. Ketu brings wisdom from past lives, spiritual intuition, and a desire for moksha (liberation). A strong Ketu grants deep spiritual insight; an afflicted one can bring confusion, instability, or disconnection from reality.
