What Ketu in the 2nd House Means
Ketu (Ketu) is a shadow-planet planet carrying the energies of detachment, spirituality, past-life skill, and liberation.

Career is not the primary domain of this placement, but Ketu here still flavours how the native shows up professionally: sharp insight and renunciation when in flow, confusion under stress.
Love & Relationships
Ketu in the 2nd house does not directly sit in a relationship house, but its general themes of sharp insight and renunciation shape how the native shows up with people.
The 2nd House Domain
The Wealth & Speech (Dhana Bhava) governs accumulated wealth, family of origin, speech, food, face, early education. When well-placed, it delivers savings, a supportive family, and speech that people trust. When afflicted, it can produce wealth that slips away, family friction, or speech that creates enemies.
