Ketu (Sanskrit: केतु, IAST: Ketú) (U+260B.svg) is the descending (i.e. 'south') lunar node in Vedic, or
Hindu astrology.According to accounts in Hinduism, Ketu belongs to Jaimini Gotra, whereas
Rahu is from Paiteenasa gotra; hence the two are entirely different entities with distinct
characteristics but nonetheless are two parts of a common body.
Ketu is generally referred to as a "shadow" planet. It is believed to have a tremendous impact on
human lives and also the whole creation. In some special circumstances it helps someone achieve the zenith of fame.
Ketu is often depicted with a gem or star on his head signifying a mystery light.[citation needed]
As per Vedic astrology Rahu and Ketu have an orbital cycle of 18 years and are always 180
degrees from each other orbitally (as well as in the birth charts).
This coincides with the precessional orbit of moon or the ~18-year rotational cycle of the
lunar ascending and descending nodes on the earth's ecliptic plane.
Ketu rules the Scorpio zodiac sign together with Mangala
Astronomically, Rahu and Ketu denote the points of intersection of the paths
of the Sun and the Moon as they move on the celestial sphere.
Therefore, Rahu and Ketu are respectively called the north and the south lunar nodes.
The fact that eclipses occur when the Sun and the Moon are at one of these points gives rise to
the understanding of swallowing of the Sun and the Moon by the snake.
Ketu is responsible for causing the Eclipse of the Moon.
