Ketu in Leo (Neutral) · 1st house of self, vitality, temperament and life direction · Leo Lagna
Ketu, the shadow planet of detachment, insight and moksha, placed in the 1st house of self, vitality, temperament and life direction for a Leo ascendant, occupies the sign of Leo. Its dignity here is Neutral. Ketu owns no sign in the classical scheme; it acts as a co-lord (Scorpio) and delivers the results of its sign lord, nakshatra dispositor and conjunct planets. Because the 1st house governs self, vitality, temperament and life direction, this single placement colours health, relationships and timing of events — but final results always depend on exact degrees, combustion/retrogression, aspects, and the D9 Navamsha strength of Ketu.

Karmically, Ketu in the house of self, vitality, temperament and life direction points to unfinished lessons around self, vitality, temperament and life direction. As natural significator of Moksha, detachment, past-life mastery, its presence here asks for conscious repayment: letting go of control. Affliction to this Ketu (conjunction with Rahu/Ketu/Saturn, debilitation without neechabhanga) intensifies the karmic test during its Vimshottari periods.
