For Consultations, please apply for your choice of consultation here - https://www.astrosaxena.in/services/.

Let’s look at important things 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. 

Ardra - Ardra is nakshatra of transformation, turmoils and chaotic events. This can be most closely related with accidents and emergencies. For more information on Ardra, please check this link - https://www.astrosaxena.com/ardranaksh.

Gemini - As Ardra is part of Gemini, Gemini sign and its representations become important here. Gemini is the 3rd sign of zodiac belt, so it represents many things related with 3rd house of horoscope like, Communication Skills (either written, oral or even by sign language), Marketing, Business etc. It is a sign basically related with communications and business ideas. Gemini is divided into 2 and half nakshatra of Mrigashira, Ardra and Punarvasu. Gemini's lord is Mercury, which is significator of Communications.

Mercury - As Mercury rules Gemini, Mercury’s position and dignity is important to know about the overall functioning of any planet in Mrigshira/Gemini.

Rahu - As Ardra is ruled by Rahu, Rahu's position and dignity will also have an important role in functioning and results of any planet in Ardra.

Houses Involved – Also, we can’t afford to forget the houses involved as a planet can be ruling different houses and sitting in different house for every person as per ascendant and planet’s position. To know overall affect, we have to consider the houses involved as those areas of life are being impacted.

Interpretation of Ketu in Ardra Nakshatra – Ketu is in sign ruled by Mercury here. It is in nakshatra of Rahu. As Ardra is ruled by Rahu and represents scientific and technological inventions, Ketu in Ardra shows that a person can have natural ability to deal with and serve people through such inventions or in such fields. As Ardra is nakshatra of major chaos and instability, this shows that these people can have expertise at dealing with chaos, changes and instabilities in life. When they get into similar situations again in this life, then they realize their abilities from past-life. They can be good at alternate ways of healing/health-care too. Ketu or Rahu dashas for this person can bring major changes in life. Changes can be related with house where Ketu is placed or related with house which Ketu rules through Scorpio sign.

As Ketu itself represents separation, split, break-up etc, if Ketu is getting involved in relationship matters in a chart, it is never a good placement. Person will be feeling separated in relationship either physically or mentally or both ways. This will bring a tug-of-war kind of result where they may feel separated when they are in relationship but when they are single, they may desire relationship. As Ketu remains illusion, possibility of cheating is high in relationship.  As Ardra is related to Chaos, it can bring chaos in relationship.

Role of Mercury – Mercury's placement is important to guide Ketu in right direction as it is Gemini's lord.

Role of Rahu - Rahu's placement is important to guide Ketu in right direction as it is Ardra's lord.

Other Factors – And of course, we need to consider conjunction, aspects, house lordship, house position and dashas etc to know the exact results of Ketu in Ardra. So, we always need to take a holistic view of chart rather than just 1 planetary position.

Conclusion – So, this is how I see Ketu in Ardra can work in a chart.

Hope this helps. Thanks,
