In Vedic Astrology Rahu and Ketu are considered “shadow” planets in that they do not have a physical mass but are the mathematical juncture points of the Moon and Sun’s orbit at which point eclipses occur. These energetic points carry a tremendous amount of power and hidden influence on our human psyche. Rahu, is the Northern node of the Moon, and Ketu is the Southern node. Ketu in particular is the most mysterious of the nine planets.
Ketu is called as a “Moksha Karaka”, an indicator of liberation, has the potential to give enlightenment, bliss and no rebirth. When Ketu is favorable in a natal chart he brings a lot of luxury, wisdom, spirituality etc. Ketu can provide one a status of a Guru when it gives positive results otherwise it will only make one imaginative. The person may fall in love many times, but will never be able to marry. Even if the person does get engaged, the marriage does not happen. It can even cause a negative effect to one's status and bad relationship between father and child. Hence, one can even overcome problems of Ketu by worshipping Ganesha.

Ganesha is closely associated with Ketu and is the planetary Overlord of Ketu. Lord Ganesha when prayed to also gives the Moksha (enlightenment) and obtains all the above through Ketu. Even the traditional forms of Ketu and Ganesha are related. The body of Ganesha was created by Goddess Parvati out of clay, then had life infused into it. Later Ganesha had his head decapitated and it was replaced with an elephant head. Similarly Ketu is the lower half of a severed snake and head-less. Whenever Ketu is placed in the sign of Sagittarius he is also known as Gaja Roopa (face of an elephant God). To enhance the benefic effects of Ketu, and reduce the negative effects when unfavorable, one should propitiate Ganesha.
