Venus and Ketu in the 7th house at a glance
When Shukra + Ketu (Venus + Ketu) share a sign, a yuti, the chart fuses Venus’s love, beauty and the pleasures of life and Ketu’s detachment, spirituality and liberation, and here all of it works through the 7th house (Yuvati / Kalatra), the house of marriage, the spouse, partnerships and one-to-one relationships (Kendra (angular), Maraka; natural sign Libra).

Ketu (Ketu) in the 7th houseMalefic

|---|---|---|---|---|
