For example, if benefic exalted Ketu is placed in the fourth house of a horoscope in the sign of Scorpio, Rahu is in the tenth house in the sign of Taurus, benefic Moon is placed in the first house of this horoscope in the sign of Leo and a benefic combination of Sun and Mercury is placed in the twelfth house of this horoscope in the sign of Cancer, the native may engage in the field of spiritualism.

At the same time, if benefic Mars is placed in the eighth house of this horoscope in the sign of Pisces and benefic Jupiter is placed in the ninth house of this horoscope in the sign of Aries, the equation may become much more productive.

The native blessed by such benefic exalted Ketu in the fourth house and all other benefic planets mentioned in this example may become the head of a big branch or even the head of an entire state unit of a well established spiritual organization and he may achieve very good amount of success and recognition through the field of spiritualism. The combined effect of all these benefic planets can also render very good amount of spiritual growth to the native, apart from blessing him with good results as a spiritual guru. At the same time, if benefic Venus is placed in the fourth house of this horoscope in the sign of Scorpio along with benefic exalted Ketu when all other benefic planets are placed in the already mentioned houses of this horoscope, the results may improve. The native blessed by all these benefic planets may become the head of a spiritual mission and he may achieve very good amount of success and fame through the field of spiritualism. As more benefic influences add to this horoscope, the native blessed by all such benefic influences may achieve even better results. For instance, the presence of benefic Saturn in the eighth house of this horoscope in the sign of Pisces along with benefic Mars can bless the native with even more success and personal growth in the field of spiritualism.

Taking a look at a different combination, if benefic exalted Ketu is placed in the fourth house of a horoscope in the sign of Scorpio, Rahu is in the tenth house in the sign of Taurus, benefic Mercury is placed in the seventh house of this horoscope in the sign of Aquarius and benefic Sun is placed in the eighth house of this horoscope in the sign of Pisces, the native may become interested in astrology. The native under the combined effect of these benefic planets may spend many years of his life in the study and research of various topics related to astrology. At the same time, if benefic Saturn is placed in the eleventh house of this horoscope in the sign of Gemini and benefic Moon is placed in the sixth house of this horoscope in the sign of Capricorn when benefic exalted Ketu and all other benefic planets are placed in the already mentioned houses of this horoscope, the equation may become much better.

The native under the combined effect of these benefic planets may engage in the field of astrology on professional basis after spending many years in this field and he may earn good amount of money and recognition as an astrologer. The presence of benefic Jupiter in the fourth house of this horoscope in the sign of Scorpio along with benefic exalted Ketu can supply even more positive energy to this equation and the native may achieve even better results. The native in this case may earn very good amount of money, fame and recognition through the field of astrology and he may also have a good success rate as an astrologer. It means that many people who come to this native for the solutions to their problems may benefit through the knowledge of this native. As more benefic influences add to this horoscope, the native may achieve even better results. For example, the presence of benefic Mars in the fourth house of this horoscope in the sign of Scorpio along with benefic exalted Ketu and Jupiter can bless the native with even more success and with even better knowledge of astrology.

Apart from this, benefic exalted Ketu in the fourth house of a horoscope can bless the native under its influence with success in many other fields of profession and this benefic influence can also bless the native with good results related to marriage and health. On the other hand, malefic exalted Ketu placed in the fourth house of a horoscope can trouble the native with problems related to marriage, profession, finances, health, reputation and many other types of problems. Accordingly the natives under the effect of this malefic influence may have to suffer from some of these problems depending on the overall tone of their horoscopes. Such problems may intensify if malefic exalted Ketu placed in the fourth house of a horoscope forms Kaal Sarp Yog in that horoscope along with malefic exalted Rahu in the tenth house of that horoscope. The defect so formed is called Ghatak Kaal Sarp Yog and it can trouble the native with serious problems related to marriage, profession and health.

Some natives under the malefic influence of this defect may not get married till late in their lives and their marriages may get delayed on account of one reason or the other. Some other natives suffering from such Kaal Sarp Yog may have to face many problems and disturbances after their marriages and some of them may even have to face a broken marriage, after suffering a lot through such marriage. In extreme cases when this defect is supported by a marriage breaking defect like Manglik Dosh in a horoscope, it can make the native suffer from more than one broken marriage after making him go through horrible experiences in such marriages. This type of Kaal Sarp Yog is good at introducing verbal abuse and even physical violence to the marriage of the native under its impact. Hence some natives suffering from this defect may have to face much verbal abuse and even physical violence in their marriages and in many such cases, such verbal abuse and physical violence may initiate the process of divorce.

Malefic exalted Ketu in the fourth house of a horoscope can also trouble the native with health problems due to which some natives under its effect may have to suffer from many health problems and diseases depending on the overall tone of their horoscopes. For example, if malefic exalted Ketu is placed in the fourth house of a horoscope in the sign of Scorpio along with malefic Saturn; and malefic Rahu is placed in the tenth house of this horoscope in the sign of Taurus, the native may have to suffer from health problems. Such native may not be able to maintain a proper mental health and he may undergo periods of restlessness, anxiety and depression at different times in his life, though these problems may not be very serious and they may still be manageable. However if malefic Jupiter is placed in the third house of this horoscope in the sign of Libra and malefic debilitated Moon is placed in the fourth house of this horoscope in the sign of Scorpio along with malefic exalted Ketu and Saturn, much more negativity may be added to this equation.

Accordingly the native under the combined effect of all these malefic planets may suffer from some serious disease which may be psychological in nature and he may have to suffer from the attacks of diseases like severe anxiety, hysteria, serious depression; or from some other such type of psychological disorder. Such native may have to undergo long medical treatment for such disease and he may still not be able to fully recover from it. At the same time, if malefic debilitated Sun is placed in the third house of this horoscope in the sign of Libra along with malefic Jupiter and malefic Mercury is placed in the fourth house of this horoscope in the sign of Scorpio along with malefic exalted Ketu, Saturn and debilitated Moon, the problem may become much worse. The native in this case may suffer from some very serious psychological disorder and he may have to spend many years of his life in some hospital or in some mental asylum towards the treatment of such disease. The presence of malefic debilitated Mars in the twelfth house of this horoscope can close all the doors for this native and he may either have to spend most of his life in a mental asylum or he may kill himself under the attack of such psychological disease.
