Ketu is an imaginary plant, or we can say it’s a node that is positioned opposite Rahu, he governs a constellations which are Ashwin, Magha and Mool. North node is called Rahu and the South node is known as Ketu. It is believed to represent the tail of demon,South node or what we call Ketu is regarded as a point of difficult Karma from his past life where a person reaps the results of his selfish and egoist deeds of the past.
