Ketu in the 10th house in Lal Kitab
Ketu in the house of work: changes and detachment at work, steadied by honest effort and patience.
MixedWhat Lal Kitab says
The 10th house belongs to Saturn, which Ketu treats as neutral, and Lal Kitab reads Ketu here as mixed: careers may change direction more than once, and the person can feel detached from status. Work that involves research, healing or travel suits them. The book asks for honest effort and patience before changing course.
Why Ketu behaves this way here
The 10th house belongs to Saturn (a neutral house), so Ketu is a guest here. Its own house is the 6th.
Its relationship with the owner is neutral: the result depends mostly on what else in the chart it connects to.

What the classical texts add
Ketu in the 10th detaches from status: work is done skilfully but recognition feels hollow, and career direction can shift as external ambition fails to satisfy. The classical resolution is vocation as service or craft — meaning-driven work stabilises what title-driven work cannot.
Classical consensus (BPHS, Jataka Parijata). This is one of the classical rules HeyKundli's engine checks against every chart.
