Ketu Transit in Scorpio -- When Past-Life Wisdom Surfaces and the Mystic Within Awakens
Ketu reaches its exaltation in Mars's water sign -- the most spiritually powerful Ketu placement of the 18-year cycle. For 18 months, the veil between your conscious mind and your deeper spiritual awareness becomes extraordinarily thin. Intuitive insights arrive with unusual frequency and clarity. Past-life knowledge surfaces without effort. Psychological patterns that resisted years of therapy resolve spontaneously. Fear of death and transformation diminishes. You access wisdom that your rational mind did not produce and cannot fully explain. This is the transit where the mystic within you stops being a metaphor and becomes an operational reality.
