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.
