Sun and Ketu in the 2nd house at a glance
When Surya + Ketu (Sun + Ketu) share a sign, a yuti, the chart fuses Sun’s the soul, authority and vital life-force 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).
Each graha in the 2nd house
Surya (Sun) in the 2nd houseMalefic
Wealth through self-effort and often government or authority, but blunt speech and ego around money can strain family harmony.
Ketu (Ketu) in the 2nd houseMalefic
Detachment from wealth and family with gaps or swings in finances and few or unusual words; values shift toward the non-material.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Surya (Sun) | Malefic | Leo | Aries | Libra |
