General Overview of Ketu in the 7th House

Ketu represents detachment, spirituality, and karmic influences. It often creates a sense of dissatisfaction in the area it occupies, urging the native to seek deeper meaning.

The 7th house governs marriage, partnerships (both personal and professional), public image, and relationships with others. When Ketu occupies this house in Scorpio, a sign ruled by Mars and co-ruled by Ketu itself, its energies become intense, mysterious, and transformative.

For Taurus ascendants, this placement can make relationships karmic, transformational, and often unconventional, with spiritual undertones.
