Ketu Transit 2026
A Ketu transit (Ketu gochar) is the movement of the south lunar node from one sign into the next. Ketu is not a physical body but a mathematical point — the descending intersection of the Moon's orbit with the ecliptic — and it always moves retrograde, taking roughly eighteen months per sign and about 18 years for the full circuit.
