Ketu in Mundane Astrology Represents
Ketu in Mundane Astrology Represents (Separation, Secret Destruction, Sudden Breaks & Karmic Dissolution)
In Astrology, Ketu is the planet of Moksha, detachment, severance, renunciation, karmic exhaustion, hidden suffering, invisibility, penetration, sudden breaks, and spiritual awakening through loss. In mundane charts, Ketu shows where a nation faces fragmentation, secrecy, invisible enemies, strange crises, epidemics, covert violence, and karmic correction. Like Mars, Ketu has a sharp, fiery, and destructive nature, but its action is more subtle, hidden, smoky, headless, and difficult to predict.
