South Node (Ketu): A Ghost of the Past

The South Node (Ketu) is a shadow, a whisper from another time. It is the point where the Moon slips downward, crossing the ecliptic into the past. It carries echoes of what was—skills once mastered, patterns once lived, lives once known.

The Weight of Memory

The South Node is familiar, almost too much so. It is the place where things come easily, where the soul feels safe. But safety is not always freedom. What once sustained may now confine.

• A past you still carry.
• A comfort that holds you still.
• A cycle longing to break.

The North Node calls forward. The South Node pulls back. Somewhere between them, fate unfolds.

Ketu in Vedic Astrology: The Art of Letting Go

In Vedic astrology, Ketu is a severed spirit, detached from the world. It does not crave, it does not chase. It knows that all things fade. It is wisdom through loss, enlightenment through surrender.

To walk Ketu’s path is to understand that not all things are meant to be held.
