Sun, Jupiter and Ketu in the 8th house at a glance
When Surya + Brihaspati + Ketu (Sun + Jupiter + Ketu) share a sign, a yuti, the chart fuses Sun’s the soul, authority and vital life-force, 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).
