Ketu in Cancer Through 12 Houses – Meaning, Remedies & Emotional Healing Guide
Ketu in cancer in Vedic astrology symbolizes the journey from emotional dependency to spiritual wisdom. Cancer, ruled by the Moon, governs feelings, family, and nurturing instincts, while Ketu represents detachment, intuition, and past-life karma. Together they create a placement that encourages the soul to find security within rather than through others. Natives with Ketu in Cancer are deeply intuitive, often psychic, yet may experience early emotional instability or distance from family. Through forgiveness, meditation, and ancestral rituals, they transform sensitivity into strength. Practicing compassion, journaling emotions, and chanting “Om Sraam Sreem Sraum Sah Ketave Namah” bring balance and peace. Over time, this placement helps one evolve from emotional turbulence to spiritual clarity and self-healing.
