Introduction
Ketu Antardasha in Saturn Mahadasha is one of the most difficult phases for any ascendant.
Both Saturn and Ketu are dispassionate, isolating, and karmic planets. No one can match them in their unbiased judgement.

Their combination can bring detachment, loss of desire, and painful experiences across health, relationships, and finances.
This period lasts for 1 year, 9 months, and 9 days but it often feels longer due to the intensity of events.
Physically, this period is known to trigger issues in the back, neck, spine, or knees.
Chronic pain or persistent discomfort is common especially if Ketu is placed in Dusthana houses or afflicted by malefics.
Financially, Ketu drains.
Savings can dry up.
You may lose assets or not be able to enjoy what you own.
Even when you have a house or car, circumstances may force you to live away, relocate, or face frequent issues.
Relationship-wise, this is one of the worst Antardashas.
Ketu is a deeply separative planet.
It rejects attachment.
If you’re holding on to someone or something out of fear or habit, Ketu will force you to let go sometimes harshly.
Separation, divorce, or emotional distance are common patterns in this phase.
Even if Saturn wants commitment and structure, Ketu doesn’t cooperate.
So relationships become karmic, heavy, and isolating.
If you’re spiritually inclined or already walking the path of detachment, this period can bring peace and clarity.
But if you’re still chasing material gains or emotional comfort, the results can be frustrating and emotionally exhausting.
There’s no space for fake things during this time.
Ketu cuts the noise.
It doesn’t reward outward success, it only rewards spiritual growth.
This is not a good phase for starting new relationships, making big purchases, or chasing status.
Rather a time for healing, spiritual growth, and breaking patterns that no longer serve you.
Given below are the effects of Ketu antardasha for all rising ascendant signs.
Effects For Aries Ascendant
For Aries ascendant, Ketu Antardasha in Saturn Mahadasha can be very intense.
Mars, the ascendant lord, is a fiery and malefic planet and Ketu behaves similarly in many ways.
Both are aggressive, both trigger sudden shifts, and both can cause physical pain.
Ketu's influence can feel sharp and cutting, just like Mars, especially when it comes to health.
Saturn, the Mahadasha lord, rules the 10th and 11th houses for Aries.
So this Antardasha directly impacts career, income, reputation, and network circles.
If Ketu is badly placed or forming harsh associations with Saturn, it can damage your professional standing or disturb your long-term goals.
Loss of position, sudden job changes, strained relations with bosses or father figures these are common patterns which natives experience.
Since both planets are not naturally friendly, their mutual involvement through conjunction, aspect, or house rulership can intensify the negativity.
Health-wise, this period often brings pain in the knees, back, or spine.
For Aries ascendant, this becomes even more prominent due to Saturn’s rulership over the 10th house (which governs knees and joints).
Spiritually, this can be a turning point.
Pisces rules the 12th house for Aries, giving them a natural leaning toward spiritual exploration.
Ketu being a Moksha-karaka (significator of liberation) supports this direction.
If Jupiter is well placed, this period can lead to pilgrimage, spiritual retreats, or deeper philosophical realizations.
But if Jupiter is weak, or the Moon and Mars are afflicted, this can turn into mental instability, anxiety, and isolation.
Some natives may relocate to foreign places, live away from family, or experience repeated disruptions while traveling.
If Mercury the 3rd lord is weak or afflicted, frequent travel issues, communication breakdowns, or sibling troubles can also surface.
Relationship-wise, this Antardasha is typically difficult.
The fiery nature of Aries combined with Ketu’s detachment can make you reactive, impatient, or withdrawn.
You may push people away, struggle to express emotions, or feel disconnected even around close ones.
This is not a good period to build emotional attachments.
If Saturn or Ketu is placed in the 7th house or aspects it, separation or estrangement is likely.
You may choose solitude over partnership, or be forced into it due to circumstances.
Overall, Aries ascendant faces a karmic test in this period.
The only way to balance this phase is through spiritual discipline, letting go of control, and staying grounded in action rather than reaction.

Effects For Taurus Ascendant
For Taurus ascendant, this Antardasha can be quite testing even though Saturn Mahadasha generally works well for them.
Saturn is a yogakaraka planet here, ruling the 9th and 10th houses.
It supports success, reputation, and career growth throughout most of its Mahadasha.
But when Ketu Antardasha arrives, everything shifts.
Ketu is debilitated in Taurus.
Its natural qualities which are detachment, simplicity, and spiritual renunciation, conflicts with Taurus traits of luxury, comfort, and material stability.
This misalignment creates emotional discomfort and dissatisfaction.
Even if the native has achieved success earlier in Saturn Mahadasha, they may suddenly feel disconnected from it.
This period forces a reassessment in them.
You cannot afford moral lapses or shortcuts now.
Ketu will bring swift consequences for past actions.
This is the time when Saturn’s karmic ledger becomes active, and you are made accountable.
If Ketu is linked to the 2nd, 4th, or 8th houses, emotional turmoil increases.
You may feel alienated from family.
You may struggle to enjoy your possessions or feel anxious about your roots and sense of security.
Ketu under malefic influence especially with Mars or Jupiter can lead to sudden relocation or isolation.
Living away from family, detachment from social life, and even friction with parental figures is possible.
In extreme cases, health issues related to digestion, nerves, or chronic fatigue may surface.
Spiritually, this phase can be life-changing.
Taurus natives have a 12th house ruled by Aries, giving them the potential for spiritual breakthrough through action and discipline.
If they shift their focus toward simplicity, seva, or sadhana, this period can refine their mindset.
They may find guidance through a spiritual teacher or get drawn toward silent retreats and introspective practices.
But if they continue chasing luxury or cling to comforts, Ketu will bring disappointment and confusion.
Relationship-wise, this phase can be emotionally cold.
Ketu's separative nature combined with Taurus’s sensual needs creates conflict.
Many people experience relationship fatigue, apathy, or outright withdrawal.
Sudden breakups, loss of interest in intimacy, or emotional silence are all possible.

Effects For Gemini Ascendant
For Gemini ascendant, this Antardasha creates tension between Mercury’s logic and Ketu’s detachment.
Ketu is a headless planet. Gemini is ruled by Mercury, which governs intellect, speech, and analysis.
So during Ketu Antardasha, you may lose clarity, feel mentally unstable, or act in unpredictable ways.
Saturn, the Mahadasha lord, rules the 8th and 9th houses. The 8th house brings hidden challenges, losses, and deep psychological shifts.
This makes the overall Antardasha unstable and sensitive.
If either Saturn or Ketu is afflicted especially by Mars as the 6th or 11th lord accidents, injuries, or legal issues may arise.
Ketu in the 6th house usually gives victory over enemies, but it doesn’t come easy for Gemini ascendant.
You may face lawsuits, opposition, or chronic health issues even while overcoming them.
If Ketu is placed in the 12th house in its debilitation sign (Taurus), the results can be severe.
You may face unexpected expenses, isolation, foreign problems, or hospitalization.
Loss of savings and disconnection from family are also common.
If Moon is weak or placed in the 8th or 12th, emotional breakdown and anxiety will increase.
Career also becomes unstable if Ketu is in the 10th house or aspects it.
You may experience sudden job loss, workplace humiliation, or reputational damage.
Projects may stop halfway. Motivation drops without reason.
Relationship-wise, this period is dry and intense.
Ketu does not allow bonding, and Mercury’s analytical nature becomes scattered.
You may become emotionally unavailable or say things that break trust.
If Ketu or Saturn aspects the 7th house or Venus is weak, separation is possible.
The native may live alone or be emotionally disconnected from their partner.
Spiritual growth is possible, but only if Jupiter is strong.
Without Jupiter’s support to the 9th or 12th house, meditation and religious practices won’t give results.
This period tests your mental strength and emotional patience.
You should avoid overthinking, take fewer risks, and avoid unnecessary fights.
Focus on health, protect finances, and don’t expect support from others.
If you keep things practical, limit expectations, and stay cautious, you will survive this period without major damage.
Effects For Cancer Ascendant
For Cancer ascendant, this Antardasha can be particularly harsh.
Saturn is the most malefic planet for this ascendant due to its rulership over the 7th and 8th houses.
Even a slight affliction to Saturn can lead to long-term health issues.
During Ketu Antardasha, those issues are likely to surface or worsen.
This is the time when Saturn gives the harshest results of its rulership.
If Ketu is afflicted by Mercury, or debilitated in Navamsha, it becomes even more sensitive.
Back pain, neck stiffness, arthritis, or chronic joint issues can occur.
Some natives may even lose mobility or face limitations in movement.
If not handled carefully, these problems can extend beyond this Antardasha into later dasha periods as well.
This is why Ketu Antardasha in Saturn Mahadasha requires strict attention to health for Cancer ascendants.
Ketu becomes debilitated in their 11th house (Taurus).
If it is placed there, the native can lose friends, support networks, or income opportunities.
Confidence can drop sharply.
You may start doubting your own ability to achieve success.
Social isolation and a feeling of disconnect from your larger circle is common.
Career may also be affected.
Saturn’s rulership over the 8th house brings natural obstacles and delays.
During this Antardasha, those obstacles can feel more intense.
You may experience setbacks in professional life, lack of recognition, or even forced changes that bring stress.
Relationship-wise, this is a weak period.
Saturn rules the 7th house and Ketu is naturally disinterested in attachments.
Together, they create coldness or distance in marriage.
Some natives may go through separation, live apart from their spouse, or face major misunderstandings with in-laws.
If Venus or Moon is afflicted in the chart, the emotional burden increases.
This is not a time to expect harmony in close relationships.
Spiritually, the period can push the native toward reflection.
But it is often accompanied by loneliness or inner heaviness.
Cancer is a sensitive sign, and this Antardasha does not support its emotional needs.
You can only manage this phase with strict routine, physical discipline, and remedial measures are necessary.

Effects For Leo Ascendant
For Leo ascendant, this Antardasha often triggers some of the most difficult and humbling experiences.
Saturn is the most malefic planet for this ascendant, ruling the 6th and 7th houses.
Its Mahadasha is already full of tests around health, enemies, debts, and relationship pressures.
During Ketu Antardasha, these issues come to the surface.
If Saturn or Ketu is afflicted—especially by Mars or placed in Dusthana houses—the native can go through serious health problems or workplace conflicts.
6th house issues such as disease, open enemies, loans, and litigation may become dominant themes.
Workplace environment can become hostile.
Seniors may doubt your capability.
You may lose control over your public image.
Ketu’s nature is to cut the ego, and Leo is a sign strongly associated with self-pride.
So this period can feel like a personal attack on your identity.
If Ketu is debilitated in the 10th house (Taurus), it can lead to a complete career breakdown.
Job loss, professional rejection, or feeling directionless is common.
Even successful Leo natives may experience a fall or stagnation.
The native may feel like their hard work is not being recognized, or worse, completely ignored.
Health-wise, this period brings fatigue, lower immunity, or chronic pain especially if Moon is weak or placed in the 8th or 12th house.
Debt can pile up if financial decisions are not made carefully.
Avoid taking loans or making risky investments in this Antardasha.
Relationship matters also turn cold.
Ketu does not support intimacy.
Saturn, being the 7th lord, activates the theme of karmic relationships.
Marriage can suffer due to emotional distance, misunderstandings, or lack of support from spouse or in-laws.
For those already facing relationship issues, separation or complete detachment is possible.
This period tests both your endurance and your humility.
To get through it, the native must reduce ego-driven actions and focus on discipline.
This is not a time for recognition.
It’s a time for correction.

Effects For Virgo Ascendant
For Virgo ascendant, Saturn Mahadasha generally gives workable results due to Saturn’s rulership over the 5th and 6th houses.
But in Ketu Antardasha, the 6th house rulership becomes more active.
This increases the chances of health issues, debts, workplace friction, and legal complications.
Even if Saturn is well placed, Ketu disrupts the flow.
Ketu is exalted in the 3rd house, and if supported by a strong Saturn in a Kendra or Trikon, the native may see benefits in administration, politics, or silent leadership roles after an initial struggle phase.
However, Ketu and Mercury don’t align well.
Mercury seeks logic and clarity, while Ketu dissolves it.
So the native may experience confusion, overthinking, and poor decision-making.
If Ketu is placed in the 6th, 8th, or 12th house, the native may suffer from chronic health problems, loss of job stability, and detachment from workplace or family life.
Affliction to Mercury or Moon makes this worse.
Ketu in the 2nd or 4th can create problems at home or affect family support.
Relationship-wise, this is a difficult time.
Ketu does not support bonding.
If Venus or the 7th lord is weak or under malefic influence, the native may face emotional coldness, separation, or complete withdrawal in personal life.
If Saturn is weak or retrograde, the negative results will multiply.
This is a disruptive period, especially if Dasha lords are afflicted or poorly placed.
Even with exalted Ketu, the native may feel mentally scattered and physically strained.

👉 Saturn Mahadasha in All 12 Houses for Virgo Ascendant
Effects For Libra Ascendant
For Libra ascendant, this Antardasha brings emotional discomfort, detachment, and disruptions in stability.
Saturn, the Mahadasha lord, is a yogakaraka planet as it rules the 4th and 5th houses associated with inner peace, education, children, and mental stability.
But Ketu is incompatible with Venus, the ascendant lord.
Libra is a sign that values harmony, luxury, aesthetics, and connection, Ketu represents the opposite: disconnection, detachment, and renunciation.
So the native feels emotionally cold, cut off from desires, and unable to enjoy the usual pleasures of life.
If Ketu is placed in the 8th house, it becomes debilitated.
While this can increase interest in esoteric subjects, medicine, psychology, or research, it can also lead to loss of control over finances, health issues related to sexual organs or chronic disease, and sudden detachment from relationships.
If Moon is weak or placed in the 6th, 8th, or 12th house, mental instability, anxiety, or depressive patterns can rise during this period.
Saturn’s rulership over the 4th house also affects domestic life.
Ketu’s influence here can disturb peace at home.
If Saturn or Ketu is placed in the 4th or aspects it, the native may live away from family, experience problems related to real estate or vehicle, or feel emotionally isolated within the household.
Career is also affected.
If Ketu is placed in the 10th house, or aspects it, there can be loss of position, job change, or dissatisfaction at the workplace.
The native may feel disconnected from goals or lose interest in the path they were pursuing.
Recognition becomes difficult, and motivation weakens.
If Saturn is placed in the 11th or 10th house, the damage may be reduced—but that depends on Saturn’s dignity.
If Ketu is in the 3rd house, and Saturn is strong, the native may still achieve success in behind-the-scenes work, occult fields, or research, but social withdrawal and emotional aloofness will still remain.
Relationships suffer significantly.
Ketu doesn’t support bonding.
Libra natives may experience coldness in marriage, detachment from partner, or even separation if Venus or the 7th lord is weak or afflicted.
There may be loss of emotional connection, sexual disinterest, or communication breakdowns.
This is not a favorable time to begin a new relationship.
Children may become a source of worry, especially if the 5th lord or Saturn is under malefic aspect.
Financially, this period can bring unexpected expenses or loss of savings particularly if Ketu is in the 2nd, 8th, or 12th houses.
This Antardasha is often the lowest phase during Saturn Mahadasha for Libra ascendants, despite Saturn being a benefic.
Because Ketu doesn’t align with their Venusian nature, the period feels unnatural and emotionally hollow.
The best way to navigate this is through detachment, simplicity, and grounding practices.
No luxury, no display.

Ketu, though exalted in Scorpio, is incompatible with the ascendant lord Mars and disrupts physical vitality and mental focus.

If Saturn aspects or conjoins the ascendant, the effect intensifies leading to health concerns, low motivation, or isolation.

Effects For Sagittarius Ascendant
Saturn is a functional malefic as the 2nd and 3rd lord. It rules over speech, family, wealth, effort, siblings, and short-term goals.
Ketu is neutral to Jupiter, the ascendant lord, but still causes separation and lack of clarity in the houses it occupies or aspects.

Focus declines, and decision-making becomes inconsistent. If Saturn aspects the ascendant, this effect is compounded with fatigue and emotional coldness.
Mental health issues may rise if Moon is weak, especially if placed in the 6th, 8th, or 12th houses.
Anxiety, overthinking, and isolation are common, particularly if Ketu is with or aspecting Moon.
Career becomes unstable if Ketu is in the 10th house or aspects it. There may be loss of position, change of role, or disinterest in continuing the current profession.
Saturn placed strongly in the 3rd or 11th may reduce the damage, especially in solitary or skill-based work. But overall progress is slow and frustrating.
If Ketu or Saturn is placed in or aspects the 4th house, domestic peace is disturbed. Problems related to property, vehicle, or the mother may arise.

If Venus or the 7th lord is afflicted, marital detachment or separation is possible.
Ketu’s aspect on the 7th weakens bonding and creates distance.

Finances are also affected. If Ketu is in the 2nd, 8th, or 12th house, expenses increase, and income becomes irregular. Saturn as 2nd lord already delays or restricts wealth, and Ketu brings instability.
The native may not prioritize saving or may face financial losses due to poor decisions.
Children may become a source of concern if the 5th house or lord is under affliction. Saturn’s aspect or conjunction with the 5th lord can delay results related to education, children, or creative output.
This Antardasha often leads to a period of confusion, lack of interest in routine goals, and emotional shutdown.
Even though Jupiter is the ascendant lord, its protective effect is reduced unless Jupiter is strongly placed and unafflicted.
Routine, silence, and minimal expectations are necessary to pass through this period without long-term damage.

The native may relocate, face issues related to property, or feel emotionally disconnected from family. If the 4th lord is afflicted, problems with the mother or household assets can occur.

Saturn is the 11th and 12th lord. One house gives gains, the other takes everything back.
Ketu supports the Pisces logic of moksha, but it doesn’t support personal life, goals, or relationships.
This is not a comfortable period.
You may stop caring about ambitions, detach from people, and withdraw from things that used to matter.
Most of the time, it won’t be a choice. Circumstances will force it.

The native may either not care or not know how to control it.
If Ketu is in the 4th, peace is gone. There may be detachment from home, property, or the mother.
If it’s in the 5th, emotional connection with children may drop. Creative energy dries up.
If Ketu is in the 12th house with a strong Jupiter, spiritual development is possible but not peacefully.
It’ll come after detachment from everything else.
