Ketu & Your Childhood - hidden rage and past life wisdom 

I understand that so well- one of my first memories is being extremely young and thinking ‘who are these people and why have I. been put here with them’.

Ketu in ashlesha in 1st here too

I have ketu in leo in the 10th with mercury in leo(magha).I saw and thought like royalty. i learnt to be the one to head the family and take up responsibilities like a king head. taking everyday decisions so that we would have a comfortable social image and have my family work smoothly.

Very very true.

Well said.

I would say life partner that we choose has to do more with Rahu.

That makes perfect sense..for the sake of my inability to type my exact thoughts of what Sam is saying --lol- ill just say---you can tweak his explanation depending on exaltation and debilitation. For example: me, I have Ketu in 12th h, Scorpio (EX). Being the only girl w 2 older brothers, i was sometimes left out but i really enjoyed my alone time. I enjoyed playing by myself..didnt have to share my room or any toys (lol) also luckily didnt have many responsibilities either..but most importantly I loved to be alone bc I was able to rejuvenate, come back to myself, release others energies etc. (Im sensitive😊) Still today i need time by myself. It doesn't make me not want to be alone now bc i was as a child. Also believe its helped me spiritually. Its more of a "find the balance" axis. ~You have Cancer asc w Ketu in 11th. While in debility, its showing maybe in a past life you've had tons of friends and gains from others-- or growing up without that energy has forced you to look to rahu who's asking you to find and gain from your own creative expression. Ketu didnt give you many friends to start or money, as you've stated, bc it wants you to not look to others, not look outside yourself but to find it within you. That situation has created/stirred emotions within you..and or any other emotional burdens are there for you to feel them and express yourself thru that. Especially as a Cancer asc. If you did have many friends and maybe money--you wouldn't necessarily look at yourself or the way you act/express yourself bc you would already be "accepted." Your own creative expression would be influenced by those around you. Thats not the case for you though. You'll go thru ups and downs but its all for you to feel and become who you are because of it. Hope that makes sense..lol..just saw ur comment and felt i wanted to reply😊

@@ashleybotelho8678 I appreciate your long and thoughtful reply 😊 I understand what you're saying. It's a useful new insight. I'm now 28 I've recently started thinking of similar topics. I have to find that inner creativity again, the one I had as a child :) My slightly isolated and poor childhood can be also seen through the fact that I had my 12th house Mars mahadasa until 10 years old. Was just wondering the Ketu part in it 😊 (I do have 6 older siblings so that was one 11th house thing that I did have. :D)

Hmm..have you just started Jupiter dasha? Mars in the 12th shows what else your Rahu is doing, so I def think you should pull some muse from everything you've endured so far. It will be healing for you and prob others too. Ketu in taurus, 11th h means there's a completition (ketu) of some sort dealing with things regarding gains (11th h) and money, relationships, childhood values, security etc. (Taurus) You could get more specific knowing where your Venus is also😊

@@ashleybotelho8678 Jupiter dasa starts in the upcoming summer now. Rahu dasa was full of depression, difficult relationships and single motherhood. Currently I'm slowly feeling things getting better, but not quite there yet. Something feels unsolved still. Venus is in Pisces in 9 th house.

@@mrlosing3486 my Moon is in third house. There are no planets in my second or fourth house. In angles if you mean that if Moon is aspected by any planets then, yes. It's sitting with Jupiter, it's opposite to Venus, it has 4th aspect from Mars, 5th aspect from Ketu. My Mars is in 12th house and I was running Mars mahadasa since two years old. My son has Rahu and Ketu on opposite houses to mine, but his childhood seems similar in those aspects - spending a lot of time in his own room building legos, singing, drawing etc.

Mine is exactly the same placement.

@@vedicastrologyteacher Says this course is not available 🥺

How would you describe your childhood then? Asking because my son (and my husband who had a secure upbringing but a strict father) has Ketu in 2nd house and it makes me a bit sad...

@@MsAlabama79 not happy..haha . my Neptune is also there. I grew up alone and neglected among other things

OK, what about it?

So if someone has an abusive childhood, how does or I should say, what does that say about the past life of a person? If Ketu is the finish line of a person's past life in this lifetime's childhood and that childhood had many abusive people... what would be the lessons from that?

​@@lolabunny6364 - What do you think it means?,... and you are looking at it as if it is that simple. If you want to understand deeper concepts, you need to think more deeply about them. "An abusive childhood" is experienced many, many ways. Everyone was abused / felt abused to some extent. There is nothing gained by over-personalizing things like this. Again, try to think bigger. Astrology shows the karma that brought all of it on. So, there is no need to label it as "abusive childhood",.. "happy childhood",.. whatever. Just look specifically at the indicators and you will see the karma - like the example I used.

@@vedicastrologyteacher Ok well then not all childhoods are abusive but some are definitely more than others whether it's verbal, physical, or emotional. So for those who have what would be called an abusive childhood- what could possibly be the past life indicators for a person who was abused by their caregivers/parents?

I don't know for sure, because I am not looking at a chart and it is a lot more complex than what you are saying (as I already said). But maybe someone abused in this life abused their kids or those more helpless than themselves, in their past life. Maybe the abuse was what they needed to experience in order to teach them to be more mature, be responsible for themselves, outgrow the need to see themselves as "abuse victims", see things/themselves in a bigger way.. This is usually what I see. People blaming their current life on things that happened decades ago. That is the problem, not the events from decades ago. But that is ALWAYS the issue with Ketu, as I said. Most people stuck on something from their childhood - some love that was not given, or some pressure exerted. You are trying to differentiate experiences in this lifetime, as if some are more important than others -- and they are not. All of it is past Karma. You may seize on "Abuse" as the worst thing ever .. but many people who were abused get past it and it makes them stronger. Many people who were not abused, maybe even spoiled, never get their life together. That is also a problem - and everything in between So, rather than turn these things into judgments, it is better to see them as principles. Just a few thoughts.
