Ketu's Transit in Swati Nakshatra.

As Ketu has already entered in Swati Nakshatra as per True Nodes and about to enter in Swati Nakshatra as per Mean Nodes in a week’s time, it is time that we should try to understand the probable results of this transit. As Ketu is headless, it seems that’s why it remains the most difficult to understand its positions or transits as we also can become headless while interpreting.

Let’s look at important energies here -

Ketu – Ketu represents Isolation, Separation, Spirituality, Mystical World, Other Dimension means things related to Alien World. It also represents Son, Dog, Intuition, Research Ability, Curious Nature, things which we have already achieved in past life and not much concerned to perform in this life. 

Swati - Swati is nakshatra of independence, Justice, Fair-Play and Business People. For more information on Swati Nakshatra, please check this link - https://www.astrosaxena.com/swanaksh .

Libra - As Swati is a part of Libra, Libra sign and its representations also become important. Libra is the 7th sign of Zodiac Belt, hence it represents the energy and things related with 7th house of horoscope, i.e. Market Place, Business, Partnerships, Relations etc. Libra is sign of Balance, i.e. striking the Balance between 2 parties/ideologies or even at personal level between our own dilemmas. It is sign of Peace and Diplomacy. And this is what we are seriously looking for after the conflicts and disagreements of Virgo, i.e. Peace to prevail. At personal level, Libra is seen as sign of Relationships. Libra is consisted of 2 and half Nakshatra named Chitra, Swati and Vishakha. Libra's lord is Venus only.

True Node Vs Mean Node – There are mainly 2 ways of calculating the transits of Rahu and Ketu. They are known as True Nodes and Mean Nodes. As per True Nodes calculations, Ketu has moved into Swati Nakshatra on 23rd Sep, 2022 but as per Mean Nodes Ketu will move into Swati nakshatra on 18^th Oct, 2022. Again, I am not going into debate of which one is more correct as the difference between the two is less than 1 degree. So, follow whichever fits your understanding. If you want more info on it, then please search with “True Node Vs Mean Node” or like terms. For me, Mean Nodes work better.

Now, here are my interpretations of Ketu’s transit in Swati Nakshatra (from Oct, 2022 to June, 2023) –

1. Ketu is in Venus’ sign here and in nakshatra of Rahu. As Libra is sign of business and Swati represents independence, Ketu coming here can show people their past-life expertise of living thoroughly independently.
2. It means that people would get in situations where they can realize their independent nature, in any area of life. They would realize the importance of not relying on others. They would realize their past-life expertise to be free. 
3. Now, this can happen in any area of life, like career, relationship or finance etc.
4. As Libra is sign of Business and Relation, people can opt for business setup career but at the same time, they would like to break-free and be independent in relation. Hence, break-ups and divorces can be on a high.
5. It can be seen at community or society level too where long oppressed communities can finally try to break-free from their oppressors.
6. As Swati is represented by Wind and Ketu remains a malefic energy, we can see some big troubles in things which are of Air Element. It can be basic communications or air travels or signals of telecom services or relationships in general. 
7. This transit can also bring situations of rebellions or wars or violence or coups in different countries. As Libra is sign of Peace and Ketu is separation, unconscious people may not be very willing to buy the idea of Peace, Diplomacy and Agreement. 
8. During majority of this transit, Ketu in Libra will aspect Saturn in Aquarius. As Saturn-Ketu energy exchange reduces the results to minimum, it means that we cant expect much of the results from the house where Aquarius falls in our chart. There can be lots of stress in that house related things.
9. At the same time, Ketu’s energy can always be well utilized for meditation and other spiritual activities. These activities can also bring awareness of how to best utilize our independence or freedom. There is one thing to desire to be free and there is completely another thing to know how to utilize that freedom. So, we should also become aware of utilizing our freedom or independence in productive or creative. As Osho says that when people ask or seek freedom, majority of time they are actually seeking irresponsibility. 
10. Overall, this transit can be best utilized in having a realization of your own real-self, independent individuality and uniqueness. We can see people going on their independent paths in various areas of life. Awareness of best utilization of independence or freedom will again be the key factor as to who is having better results in this transit or who is struggling.

Please meditate regularly for this awareness factor. Have a conscious transit of Ketu in Swati Nakshatra.

Hope this helps. Thanks,
