1. It may be recalled that Saturn entered Leo on 16th July,2007 and ketu was already there in Leo. In the course of transit, many planets joined Saturn in Leo but this article is devoted to omly results of Saturn-Ketu conjunction. Saturn on its entry in Leo was at 00.00 degree whereas ketu was 13.46 degrees – it just crssed transit of megha-its own Nakshtra.

2. It may be metioned that Saturn and Ketu (Ketu was already in Leo when Saturn entered Leo) will continue in Leo when Ketu gets to cancer but Saturn will continue in Leo(including Retrograde motion) upto 9th September, 2009 Including another retrograte motion in 2009.

3. Saturn and Ketu remained together for a long time but it is only on 23rd October, 2007 that it can be said that Saturn nad Ketu were in conjunction.the degree of both these planets speak of the conjunction though some astrologers take the full month of October,2007 as of Saturn-Ketu conjunction. The above Horoscope is prepared as per planetary position on 23rd October , 2007.

4. All Mundane affairs specially of the Government and Government officials are likely to suffer in various ways for the period noted above and specially for three days i.e. 22nd ,23rd and 24th oct., 2007.
