Always in debt? Ketu brings financial detachment [Vedic Astrology]

Ketu, the shadow of detachment, weaves a quiet indifference to wealth and material gain. Debt becomes a constant, not due to reckless spending, but because of a weariness toward accumulation. Finances seem like a distant shore—always out of reach, unreachable.

Ketu’s placements amplify this detachment, a karmic echo that pulls the soul toward release, even from financial stability. It’s not carelessness but a subtle apathy, as if money is just another illusion, easily discarded. Old financial patterns resurface, like ghosts from the past, despite one’s intentions to break free.

Traditional remedies are offered—chants to purify the mind, stones to ground the spirit, and acts of renunciation to ease the karmic weight. But can these truly shift the soul’s apathy? Can one truly break free from the chains of indifference? The answer lies not in external fixes, but in the courage to confront one’s own detachment.

The road to balance feels solitary, a journey of self-discovery. The challenge is to see the detachment for what it is: a quiet form of self-sabotage. Ketu’s lesson is not about giving up everything but about finding a balance between attachment and detachment.

True security, they say, lies not in abandoning wealth but in learning how to hold it without letting it define the soul. The path is a delicate dance between the material and the spiritual. But for the soul drawn to nothingness, can it ever truly find a way to hold onto something real?
