Moon and Ketu in the 2nd house at a glance
When Chandra + Ketu (Moon + Ketu) share a sign, a yuti, the chart fuses Moon’s the mind, emotions and nurturing instinct and Ketu’s detachment, spirituality and liberation, and here all of it works through the 2nd house (Dhana), the house of wealth, family, speech and the resources you gather (Maraka; natural sign Taurus).
