When Ketu ☋ (south-node) conjuncts a planet in your birth chart, it indicates a past life gift, and also a karmic lesson linked to that planet.
Brief explanation:
Sun+Ketu: Can signify a charismatic personality with a strong sense of purpose. However, there might be a struggle with egotism or a fear of not living up to one's potential. Empower others instead of controlling them.
Moon+Ketu: Gifts intuition and emotional depth, but can also lead to emotional volatility or difficulty expressing emotions. You may have been a caregiver, an empath, or someone who forms emotional connections. You might need to learn healthy detachment and emotional boundaries.
Moon will be conjunct Ketu, opposite Sun, Mercury, Rahu, and aspected by Mars.
Be prepared to declutter your life and release outdated beliefs.
An emotional detox!

Past life revolved around self-expression, independence, taking impulsive action..
You may have been very assertive, and driven by external validation.
Challenge in this life is to move beyond self-centeredness, developing emotional intelligence.
Unexplored potential lies in your ability to initiate things intuitively with creativity, and emotional depth.
Ketu in Water Signs

Past life may have been deeply emotional, focused on merging with others, and exploring the unseen realms. You may have been overly attached, possessive, or prone to escapism.
Challenge is to let go of unhealthy dependencies..
When Moon, the emotional mind, is alone in a house without any other planets occupying the houses before or after it, this isolation can create emotional challenges.
