Just like Rahu, Ketu is also an imaginary planet, a node. The two nodes, Rahu and Ketu are positioned where the earth's trajectory around the Sun and the Moon's trajectory around the Earth meet.

The two imaginary nodes, Rahu and Ketu are the mysterious forces and show in the birth chart both karmic and spiritual influences. Like Rahu, Ketu is also not a real luminary and therefore doesn't rule any zodiac sign |
