Post 13: Ketu Venus conjunction: Cataclysmic

Venus had entered Leo on 4th July forming an extremely deep conjunction with Ketu in Magha (3) from 10th to 13th July. Maximum conjunction is today, on 11th July, Saturday,  and today morning itself, I got the news of another of my childhood friends untimely death...



My childhood friend Diptiman Kataki, ie, Santu. We had a lifelong odyssey through the various ages and stages of life. And suddenly he was found dead in his bed, asleep , cops had to be called to break the door and enter his home. The body has gone for mandatory autopsy and tomorrow is the cremation..


Too many of my  close people departing untimely,  without any warning, (especially post Covid years)..    has left me in a permanent state of paralyzed numbness.

ESPECIALLY post Covid years, somehow the tempo of life events has taken on the crazy flux of a  reckless, haphazard, wild , unpredictable .. stormy sea.

 
Like, my favourite post modern thinkers, Zizek, Baudrillard, Virilio predicted, the virulent crazy, acceleration of events have approached a maddening vertigo inducing speed, vertiginious ( vertigo inducing) reckless, haphazard, stormy sea.

Today I feel  justified with the intense title  and description (on top) of this Ketu Currents Blog. It has truly and honestly described the INTENSITY of these cataclysmic Ketu Currents. 

And the last three posts have directly been in the environment and circumstance of death, mortis, funerary rituals, tributes. That is the dark nature of the dreaded Moola nakshatra, whose ruler is Ketu.


I had previously written something for this/ today's post. BUT the unforseen, cataclysmic, chaotic event of my childhood friends sudden death has commanded and prevailed over the content, colour, mood of this post.

Ketu Venus: Cataclysmic Creativity

Creativity/ Art is not just creating a beautiful vase, or a painting of beautiful flowers. 

It is the cataclysmic gathering of words, pictures, elements.. that depict the accurate feelings, and true emotions of.. the Human Condition..

..and, which is only possible, through the cataclysmic flowing emotions..  of Ketu Currents!!!

Post 12: Ambubachi 2026

 
it was 22nd June, beginning of Ambubachi 2026. Uncountable throng of devotees have gathered at Kamakhya. On occasion of Ambubachi of Mother Goddess Kamakhya.
However I personally found myself, far and awayfrom the maddening throng, at far away Narengi, at Bhagavat Gita Path organised at my friend's home on the monthly tithi of heavenly departure of his father.. Goya khura to me. ..

Uncanny is that ➡️➡️ the previous post of this Ketu Blog, namely..
  Post 11: Matsya Avatar on Ekadashi.. was at exact same premise, in the exact same occasion/ function/ ritual. Months and uncountable months back.. on  November 2025..
Lord Ketu waited almost eight months for me to make the next post..
Under the right circumstances/ ambience of time/ mood/ nuance/ flavour of Ketu Currents.

For a restless soul like me, who lives day to day, such a vast expanse of time between two points is inconceivable and immeasurable.

Like traversing the vast galaxy of breathless space /time/ events
 on a daily level
 for months upon endless months..
..to arrive at SAME space/ time configuration..
 un- f***ing- believable..

But such is the way of Saturn Ketu Conjunction in the 9th house...

Crossing Vast expanses of time/space.
 To land upon the same recurring time/ space/ event ...
To complete unfinished karna..
Often this event is also echoed ..
from previous unremembered past lives. ..
And Past incarnations..

The recurring, intersecting, erratic, uncanny, karmic currents . .
... Ketu Currents..
