Moon and Ketu in the 9th 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 9th house (Dharma / Bhagya), the house of fortune, dharma, the father and higher wisdom (Trikona (trine); natural sign Sagittarius).
