Exalted Ketu in Second House
Ketu is exalted in Scorpio as well as in Pisces. For the sake of this discussion, we’ll consider both these placements of Ketu. Exalted Ketu in the second house of a horoscope is benefic in some cases whereas it is malefic in some cases. The influences of other benefic and/or malefic planets on Ketu, and the overall theme of horoscope are important criteria when it comes to decide the functional nature of Ketu in a horoscope.
As the number and strengths of benefic and/or malefic planets influencing Ketu in a horoscope increase, Ketu may become more benefic or malefic. The concept of benefic planets turning malefic due to influences of malefic planets, and the concept of malefic planets turning benefic due to influences of benefic planets have been explained in the book ‘Match Making and Manglik Dosh’.
When benefic in nature, exalted Ketu in the second house of a horoscope can bless the native with good results related to family, wealth, speech, profession, finances, reputation, authority, recognition, fame and several other good results, depending on his/her overall horoscope and running times.
Such exalted Ketu can render various types of benefits to the native, related to or through his family. For example, the native may be born in a rich, influential, resourceful, well-respected, politically powerful, royal and/or spiritually advanced family, and he may witness several benefits by virtue of being a member of such family. He may have good relationships with his family members.
Looking at profession, such exalted Ketu can help the native achieve success as an astrologer, tantric, hypnotist, magician, psychic, healer, spiritual guru, religious guru, preacher, philosopher, researcher, analyst, discoverer, mathematician, astronaut, astronomer, physician, dietician, consultant, therapist, advisor, lawyer, journalist, blogger, anchor, fire fighter, sportsman, actor, singer, musician, writer, dancer, artist, architect, designer, developer, professional dealing in computer industry, software, IT, education, coaching, health, pharma, fitness, finance, television, music, sports, media, travel, hotel, airline, internet industry or some other type of professional, depending on his/her overall horoscope and running times.
Taking an example, suppose benefic exalted Ketu is placed in the second house of a horoscope in Scorpio with Mercury. Benefic exalted Rahu is placed in the eighth house in Taurus, benefic Sun is placed in the third house in Sagittarius with benefic Mars, Venus is placed in the first house in Libra with Jupiter, and benefic retrograde Saturn is placed in the tenth house in Cancer. In this case, the native may become a magician as well as psychic, and he may witness good results.
If benefic Moon is placed in the first house in Libra with Jupiter and Venus, the equation may become better. In this case, the native may possess remarkable skills as a magician, and he may come across very good amount of success, money, recognition and fame. He may perform hundreds of magic shows during his career. If the finer factors and running times are supportive, he may become one of the most recognized magicians as well as psychics of his time, and his net worth may be in multimillions.

Hence the native may witness several problems in his life, due to bad reputation of his family, and/or bad conducts of some family members.
