Vimshottari · ~4 months

Sun Mahadasha · Ketu Bhukti

Status feels hollow; purpose gets redefined.

What this period asks of you

Status feels hollow; purpose gets redefined. During a Sun mahadasha (6-year period governing identity, authority, father, government, spine, visibility), the Ketu bhukti — running for ~4 months — thins the fabric; asks what's essential and what can go. The dominant strength this window tends to hand you is clarity of purpose, leadership, recognition through effort, refined and often re-directed by Ketu's emphasis on detachment, moksha, mastery. The classical caution is withdrawal that becomes isolation; sudden losses if grasping. Read this as weather, not fate: the same Sun-Ketu window lands very differently depending on the natal house each lord occupies in your chart and the KP sub-lord of the ascendant on the exact date you check.

According to Lodestar Astrology. This is the general Vimshottari template — your natal chart and current KP transits refine what you actually experience.
