No, Ketu Mahadasha doesn't destroy everything. Ketu is a Dharmic graha that takes you towards spiritualism. In Vedic astrology, Ketu is considered “Moksh ka Karak” and thus plays a vital role in enhancing a person’s life.   

However, people fear it and have many misconceptions about it. Do you know it really helps you achieve success? Let's understand more about it and learn how a cat's eye stone can help balance Ketu’s energy.    

What is Ketu Mahadasha?

Ketu Mahadasha is a seven-year phase in one’s life during which Ketu resides in a particular rashi. This phase, or dasha, brings sudden losses, separations, or confusion. Ketu Mahadasha is bad if the planet is weak in the birth chart. However, you will be surprised to know that this dasha is not always bad. It also delivers the best results when Ketu is well placed.

Why Ketu Mahadasha is Feared

Yes, one can achieve success during Ketu Dasha if it is in the 9th, 10th, or 11th house.
