Jupiter and Ketu in the 8th 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 8th house (Randhra / Ayus), the house of longevity, transformation, the occult and sudden change (Dusthana (difficult); natural sign Scorpio). This combination also forms the named Guru-Chandala Yoga (explained below).
