Ketu Mahadasha – Mars Antardasha (Bhukti)

Ketu-Mars Antardasha generates a potent surge of energy that demands physical expression. The native feels restless, driven, and impatient with slow processes. There is a sharpness to perception — the ability to cut through complexity and identify core issues becomes extraordinary. This makes the period excellent for surgery (both performing and undergoing), debugging complex systems, solving technical problems, and competitive endeavors.

The risk side involves accidents, cuts, burns, and injuries — particularly to the head, blood, and muscles. The native should exercise caution with sharp objects, fire, vehicles, and electrical equipment. Reckless driving and extreme sports carry elevated risk during this period. Fevers and inflammatory conditions may flare up.

Property and land matters may come to the fore, sometimes involving disputes or litigation. Brothers and siblings may play a significant role — either as allies in conflict or as sources of tension. The native's relationship with younger siblings may undergo significant shifts.

Career during Ketu-Mars favors technical, surgical, military, engineering, law enforcement, and competitive fields. The native's ability to take decisive action and cut through obstacles serves them well in high-pressure environments. Entrepreneurial ventures launched with clear strategy can gain rapid momentum during this period.

Real estate and land dealings are active but require careful legal review. Property disputes that have lingered may reach resolution — sometimes favorably through the native's assertive approach, sometimes through forced compromise. Construction, renovation, and demolition projects are well-supported.

Financially, income may come through technical expertise, competitive wins, or property transactions. However, impulsive spending — particularly on vehicles, weapons, technology, or sporting equipment — can drain resources quickly. The native should channel Mars's acquisition drive into investments with clear returns rather than impulse purchases.

Relationships during Ketu-Mars require careful anger management. The native's fuse shortens considerably, and arguments can escalate rapidly. Partners may feel intimidated by the native's intensity, even when no hostility is intended. The combination can bring passionate physical connections but also volatile conflicts. Domestic violence risk increases in already troubled relationships.

Sibling relationships are highlighted — particularly with younger brothers. There may be collaborative ventures, shared adventures, or competitive friction. The native's courage inspires others but can also provoke those who feel threatened by assertive energy.

Health concerns center on the blood, muscles, and head. Fevers, inflammations, blood pressure fluctuations, surgical procedures, and injury risk are elevated. The native benefits from regular intense exercise (martial arts, weight training, running) to channel excess Mars energy constructively. Avoid excessive spicy food and alcohol, which amplify Mars's heating effects.

Channel Ketu-Mars energy through disciplined physical practice — martial arts, competitive sports, or intense yoga (especially Ashtanga or power yoga). Physical activity is the most natural remedy for this combination. Recite the Mars Beej Mantra (Om Kraam Kreem Kraum Sah Bhaumaya Namah) and Hanuman Chalisa on Tuesdays.

Donate red lentils, jaggery, and sharp instruments on Tuesdays. Wearing a Red Coral is generally not recommended during Ketu Mahadasha, but keeping one on the altar or in a red pouch can help harmonize Mars energy without overactivating it.

Practical guidance: pause before reacting in heated situations (the 10-second rule), avoid driving aggressively, maintain vehicles and equipment carefully, schedule necessary surgeries during this period (Mars supports successful cutting), and direct competitive energy toward productive goals rather than interpersonal conflicts.
