Who Wins the Conjunction
In the Sun-Mercury-Ketu conjunction, Ketu tends to emerge as the winner, given its power to eclipse the planets it joins. As a result, Ketu can reshape the Sun and Mercury's expression according to its own nature.
Dignity and Strength
- Aries and Leo - better results are possible here, since the Sun's stronger position keeps Ketu from fully eclipsing it.
- Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces - results vary depending on the placement of the Sun and Mercury and how Ketu shapes their expression.
Overall, the Sun-Mercury-Ketu conjunction tends to reflect Ketu's presence over and above the Sun and Mercury's own effects.
