According to astrological knowledge, the Sun is considered a symbol of the soul, father, honor, and leadership, while Ketu represents a shadow planet associated with illusions and mental strain. According to Drik Panchang, on August 17, 2026, the Sun entered its own sign Leo, where the mysterious planet Ketu is already located.
This conjunction of the Sun and Ketu in the Sun's sign forms the phenomenon of Surya-Ketu Grahana Yoga. From an astrological perspective, when the shadow of Ketu falls upon the Sun, a person's confidence begins to weaken, obstacles arise at work, and relationships with the father and superiors may deteriorate. This unfavorable configuration can intensify problems for four specific zodiac signs.
Signs That Should Exercise Caution
For Scorpio natives, whose ruler is Mars, the transit of the Sun in the tenth house can cause activity. It is recommended to avoid arguments with managers or superiors at work, as this may lead to negative consequences. It is also advisable to refrain from making major decisions in haste or anger, and thorough verification should be conducted before large investments in new projects, as there is a possibility of losing funds.
Capricorn residents will face the influence of this Sun transit in the eighth house, which is associated with crises and sudden changes. Special vigilance must be exercised during travel or driving. Care should be taken when completing legal or government documents, as unforeseen expenses may disrupt the budget. Furthermore, lending money is not recommended during this period.
For people born under the sign of Aquarius, the Sun's transit will affect the seventh house, which governs partnership and marriage. Disagreements with a spouse or partner due to selfishness or ideological differences are possible. It is important to avoid misunderstandings in business partnerships. There may also be a sudden impact on the health of either the person or their spouse, paying special attention to stomach and bone problems.
Astrological Methods of Protection Against Negative Effects
To avoid adverse effects, it is recommended to perform a daily morning offering of water to the Sun in a brass vessel, mixed with a pinch of turmeric. To mitigate the harmful influence of Ketu, it is advised to feed dogs bread or biscuits. Additionally, on Sunday, one should recite the Aditya Hridayam Shloka and offer wheat or jaggery.
