Ketu (South Node) transit in Makara
By The Astrologic Desk · Editorial and calculation review
When transiting Ketu (South Node) moves through Makara (Capricorn), it typically stays for about a year and a half. The transit colours detachment and disinterest in worldly reward with Makara's disciplined style. Its effect on any one person depends on the house Makara occupies in their natal chart, counted from the Lagna and from the Moon.
Typical dwell: about a year and a half.
While it lasts
For the duration of the transit, South Node's topics — detachment, mastery, renunciation — are processed through a earth sign ruled by Saturn. Executes over years, not weeks. The corresponding cost is: achievement substitutes for rest and for warmth.
How to read it in your chart
Locate Makara in your own kundli. The natal house it occupies is the life area this transit actually touches. A transit through the 10th from Lagna reads as work and status; the same transit through the 4th reads as home and emotional base. Astrologic reports the astronomy. It does not predict a result.
