Lord Kartikeya scooted fast on his peacock while Ganesha thought about it and did three pradikshna of shiva-parvati. This pleased Lord Shiva and he granted lord Ganesha, the status of pratham-pujya .
Lesson: Positive ketu with wisdom can grant one complete devotion

Transit of ketu over the planets /bhava is said to cause problems in the matters of that grah/ bhava. However what is rarely known is that Jupiter can control the negative of such a ketu in transit.
Ketu is also "dhwaja" and therefore is capable of granting status.
