Eleventh house is a favourite house of Rahu. Hence the placement of exalted Rahu in the eleventh house is an important placement. If the overall horoscope is strong, whether such horoscope is benefic or malefic, the native is often able to make good or very good amount of money through profession and other means. However, the challenge with this placement of Rahu is the method of earning money. If the overall horoscope is benefic, the native may earn money through legitimate methods and he may earn a lot. On the other hand, placement of malefic exalted Rahu in the eleventh house can often make the native engage in immoral and/or illegal methods in order to make money. Hence this placement can produce rich businessmen of various types and it can also produce criminals, smugglers and various other types of people who make money through immoral and/or illegal methods.

Ketu is placed in the sixth house in Scorpio, Venus is placed in the first house in Gemini, benefic Sun is placed in the second house in Cancer, Saturn is placed in the tenth house in Pisces and benefic Moon is placed in the ninth house in Aquarius.

Depending on the finer factors and running times, the native may also obtain the citizenship of a foreign country, on the basis of his marriage. It means his wife may be the citizen of a foreign country.

If benefic Mercury is placed in the first house in Gemini with Venus, exalted Mars is placed in the eighth house in Capricorn and benefic Jupiter is placed in the ninth house in Aquarius with benefic Moon, the equation may improve. In this case, the native may move to a foreign country, he may get married to a woman who may be the citizen of such country and he may settle in such foreign country. The native may engage in the field of software development, networking, IT, video game designing or some other likewise field, depending on the finer factors and running times. He may come across very good amount of success, money and recognition through his profession, especially after the age of 40 and 50 respectively.

Exalted Ketu in the first house carries significant importance. Ketu is a fiery planet which is generally not interested in producing materialistic results. Hence the overall horoscope should be strong enough to handle the strong energy of Ketu in the most important house which is the first house. If that happens, the native may benefit a lot in many spheres of his life, including material as well as spiritual growth. However, if such exalted Ketu is malefic or it is benefic but the overall horoscope is weak or negative, the native may not benefit much related to materialistic spheres. It means that the native may not witness good results related to health, marriage, profession, wealth, pleasures and other materialistic results.

It should be noted that Ketu in general is not supportive for materialistic results, placed in any house as well as in any sign. However, it doesn’t mean that it works against materialistic results or it blocks them. It is simply not interested in most cases. Hence if other planets influencing Ketu indicate such results, it has no problems producing such results, even in big or very big quantities. On the other hand, if no planet influences Ketu, it generally doesn’t help much with materialistic results. According to its inherent tendency, Ketu is more interested in producing results related to psychological, psychic, paranormal, occult and spiritual domains. Hence Ketu alone in any house of a horoscope can help the native understand the significances of that house from bigger psychological/spiritual angles and not from materialistic angles, in most cases.

When exalted Ketu is placed in the first house in Scorpio, the focus is shifted more towards psycho-emotional plane of the native. It means that the native may be less interested in physical affairs and he may be more interested in things much deeper than physical planes. When such Ketu is supported by an overall positive and strong horoscope, the native may witness very good material as well as psycho-emotional results.
