Continuing with Ketu in the 12th house, Dr. Sharma dives deeper into the psychological isolation caused by this placement.
Ketu in the 12th house pulls the native away from society. They develop an intense craving for absolute solitude ("ekant hi ekant"). However, this isolation is not peaceful; they are constantly fighting an internal mental war ("khud se wo jung karta hai") between their worldly duties and their spiritual urges.
If this Ketu is afflicted ("tang karta hai"), it completely destroys their interest in normal life. It turns them into a monk ("sanyasi") or a wandering, detached mystic ("malang"), completely disconnected from the material world.
