Jupiter and Ketu in the 10th house at a glance
When Brihaspati + Ketu (Jupiter + Ketu) share a sign, a yuti, the chart fuses Jupiter’s wisdom, growth and good fortune and Ketu’s detachment, spirituality and liberation, and here all of it works through the 10th house (Karma), the house of career, status, reputation and your work in the world (Kendra (angular), Upachaya (growing); natural sign Capricorn). This combination also forms the named Guru-Chandala Yoga (explained below).
