Aṅka Jyotiṣa · the number seven
Ketuकेतु
The number of the inward eye
Seven is the number of the seven ṛṣis and the seven worlds, and Ketu rules it: the headless graha that has let go of the world and sees beyond it. Seven seeks what lies behind the form.

Ketu rules no sign of its own and acts like Maṅgala, so Maṅgala’s months (Meṣa and Vṛścika, mid-April to mid-May and mid-November to mid-December) carry its energy. A 7 personal year turns inward: study, retreat, and the questions that matter.
