Or does it intentionally create problems and hardships in your life? Introducing one of the most powerful and fiery conjunctions in astrology: Sun Ketu conjunction.

Just to give you a hint, the combination of the two most fiery planets in astrology, the Sun and Ketu, makes you grounded and away from materialistic things. With this energy, you feel more confident and responsible towards your goals and ambitions. Tune in to know how the South Node conjunct Sun influences your personality and nature. 

What Does Sun Ketu Conjunction Mean? 

Meet one of the most karmic and powerful conjunctions in astrology: the Sun Ketu conjunction. On one hand, there is the king of all planets, the Sun, who controls our ego, personality and overall identity. On the other hand, Ketu deals with the illusion and past life karmas and separates us from the material world. 

So, when these two fiery planets collide with each other in the same zodiac sign in the navamsa chart, it is only chaos and drama one can think about. Since both Ketu and Sun are fiery in nature, it is obvious that one of the planets will try to absorb the energy from the other. In the case of the Ketu conjunct Sun, it is the Ketu that tries to diminish the fire of the Sun. 

As a result, the person loses his confidence and clarity in life and becomes directionless. If not thinking about his true mission in life, the person tries to find his authentic self. Due to this, his personal relationship also suffers, especially with his father. Such individuals try hard to live up to the expectations of the fatherly figures and deal with stress.

If the placement of Ketu is weak, then career breaks and addictive behaviour can also be spotted in the individuals. All of this stops when the person enters his 40s since the Ketu matures in the later period of life.

Impact of Sun-Ketu Conjunction on Zodiac Elements 

1. Fire Signs (Aries, Leo and Sagittarius) 

Here is when the Sun and Ketu become stronger and more efficient, giving good results and outcomes. Usually, the Fire signs are the most energetic and jolly personalities, but with Ketu conjunct Sun, they spend most of their time studying and exploring unknown subjects. The urge to explore new subjects and gain knowledge enhances their research abilities. However, this phase of exploration often makes them shy and introverted in nature. 

2. Earth Signs (Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn) 

The Earth signs are known for their grounded and simple nature. But the entry of Sun Ketu conjunction in navamsa chart imbalances everything, making them inclined towards materialistic things. On one hand, the Sun brings every opportunity or achievement they deserve, but on the other, Ketu gets busy creating challenges or obstacles in his journey. Not only this, but the individual witnesses a whole new level of obsession for perfectionism. 

3. Air Signs (Gemini, Libra and Aquarius) 

For the Air signs, the Sun Ketu conjunction is not-so-easy-placement. Problems in personal relationships and communication become common in this placement. Moreover, the individual often struggles to showcase his true identity or personality to others. The stronger placement of the Sun makes a person rebellious. Following societal norms and traditions is something that seems against the personality of the Air signs. 

4. Water Signs (Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces) 

In the dreamy and intuitive Water signs, Ketu takes a stronger position, giving favourable outcomes. In this placement, the individual gets inclined towards spiritual activities such as meditation or occult activities. Doing this brings him clarity and confidence in life. The problem arises when this newly gained confidence impacts his personal relationships, especially the romantic ones. His over-emotional nature creates problems in his personal life as per astrological beliefs.
