Ketu Transit in Taurus -- When Everything You Own Stops Owning You

Ketu enters Venus's earth sign at its debilitation -- and the south node's energy of spiritual detachment confronts your most material attachments. For 18 months, your relationship with money, possessions, comfort, and physical security undergoes involuntary revision. Financial certainty weakens. Luxury loses its appeal. The things you accumulated to feel safe start feeling like burdens. Your voice -- both literal and metaphorical -- may go through a period of uncertainty. This is the transit where you discover the difference between security and attachment. What you actually need is much less than what you thought you needed.
