What is the meaning of Ketu Antardasha and what are its remedies?

In Vedic astrology, three aspects are responsible for an event to take place. One of the aspects is the concept of "Dasha". Different planets and celestial bodies in the solar system are responsible for different events and different predictions to take place. 120 years are perceived as an individual's complete lifetime and different celestial bodies are assigned with different periods in this timeline. There is a total of 9 Mahadashas and those 9 Mahadashas are further divided into 9 Antardashas each. The position of Moon at the time of our birth indicates our Mahadasha. Ketu, Venus, Sun, Moon, Mars, Rahu, Jupiter, Saturn, Mercury is the sequence of occurrence of Dasha in a lifetime. These Dashas can be both beneficial and devastating in our life, depending on many other factors. In simple terms, Dasha is the calendar of our lifetime, which is defined by the Vedic astrology. Our Janam kundali is responsible for a Dasha to be favorable or unfavorable for us in our future events.

What is Ketu Antardasha?

Ketu Dasha specifically lasts for 7 years in our life. This Dasha is highly considered a very bad luck period. Generally, this Dasha is very hyped up in negativity, but actually, it may or may not be negative depending upon the position of Ketu in our horoscope. Antardasha is known to bring interest in spirituality, mystics, occult, and the subject of metaphysics. Ketu's Antardasha can make you detached and introverted, in your family there may be a chance of someone cheating with you, and it may also bring many health issues. One of the most infamous Antardashas, the Ketu Antardasha is surely very malefic, but Vedic astrology still has many rituals, practices, and customs for an individual to perform to minimize the worse effects of this Antardasha. Many people give their example in their time through, Ketu Antardasha and they generally state this period as "hell". Their worse condition of Ketu Antardasha being afflicted by bad luck can prove to be the worst combination in the horoscope.

Ketu Mahadasha is a sign of bad times but it depends always on the individual to make the best out of this.
