Ketu in 10th = job detachment. You work, but don’t love it [Career Astrology]

Another day passes, tasks completed without thought. Conversations drift by like wind through glass. There’s a strange emptiness—one that’s hard to name. Ketu in the 10th house casts a subtle, invisible hand across the career. You show up, but part of you is missing. Work continues, yet it feels like watching your life from a distance.

This isn’t boredom. It’s a deeper kind of separation. Recognition feels irrelevant. The applause of success lands without sound. Colleagues seem close, yet far. It’s as though something within has let go. Not failure, not dissatisfaction—just… absence. A quiet refusal to cling to worldly goals.

Ketu doesn’t ask for ambition. It dissolves it. Where others chase titles and build empires, you question why any of it matters. The desk becomes a meditation ground. The meetings, echoes. At its best, Ketu brings awareness that the material is fleeting. But its shadow side is numbness—a loss of drive that others mistake for laziness or disinterest.

Astrological signs and aspects deepen this theme. If Saturn joins Ketu, detachment can harden into resignation. If the Moon is involved, emotions may be stifled or disconnected entirely. Dasha cycles only accentuate this sense of karmic unraveling. Opportunities come, and yet they barely register. The soul craves something more—but can’t always name it.

Remedies in Vedic tradition aim to anchor the spirit—chanting, offerings, service without expectation. Still, Ketu doesn’t promise return. It offers release. The challenge is not to reignite lost ambition, but to transform the nature of work itself—into offering, into awareness, into stillness.

Perhaps this is the path: learning to exist fully in half-light. Doing without needing. Acting without seeking. Letting the self dissolve into the work, until the line between career and consciousness quietly disappears.
