Ketu in Lal Kitab: nature and remedies

Ketu is the planet of sons, travel, detachment, the mama and intuition.

Ketu is Rahu's other half: where Rahu wants more, Ketu lets go. In Lal Kitab it stands for sons and grandsons, the mother's brother, travel and the inner life. Its own house is the 6th. Lal Kitab links Ketu with the dog, and feeding or caring for dogs is its signature remedy.

Ketu remedies are simple: feeding a dog, giving a blanket to someone in need, keeping good terms with the mama, and wearing or giving black-and-white cloth. The book says Ketu gives its best to people who are loyal, because loyalty is the dog's nature.
