Ketu in the 2nd house in Lal Kitab
Ketu in the family's temple: simple tastes and earnings through travel, kept by faith and plain speech.
MixedWhat Lal Kitab says
The 2nd house belongs to Jupiter, which Ketu treats as neutral, and Lal Kitab reads Ketu here as a person with simple tastes whose earnings often involve travel. Family ties can feel distant at times. The book asks the person to keep a tilak of saffron or turmeric and to stay connected to the family's place of worship.
Why Ketu behaves this way here
The 2nd house belongs to Jupiter (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 2nd detaches from accumulation and conventional family values: money matters less than most people assume it should, speech can be terse or oblique, and security is sought inwardly. Finances benefit from deliberate structure since the hunger to hoard is absent.
Classical consensus (BPHS, Jataka Parijata). This is one of the classical rules HeyKundli's engine checks against every chart.
