Moon, Venus and Ketu in the 10th house at a glance
When Chandra + Shukra + Ketu (Moon + Venus + Ketu) share a sign, a yuti, the chart fuses Moon’s the mind, emotions and nurturing instinct, Venus’s love, beauty and the pleasures of life 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).
