Surya–Ketu conjunction in Leo on 17th August 2025: These Zodiac Signs must be extra careful

Time of India

2 days ago

From 17th August 2025, the Sun (
Surya
) will come into close conjunction with the shadow planet Ketu, in the royal sign of Leo (Simha Rashi). This planetary meeting will last for about a month, casting its influence over all zodiac signs, but with a particularly strong impact on some.
In Vedic astrology, the Sun represents the soul, authority, self-respect, and vitality, while Ketu is known as the planet of detachment, spiritual liberation, and karmic lessons.
When Surya and Ketu come together, the result can be both deeply transformative and challenging. It often brings situations that test the ego, force introspection, and lead us towards humility and spiritual growth. However, it can also cause confusion, misunderstandings, and sudden changes in areas ruled by the Sun — career, reputation, health, and leadership.
For certain zodiac signs, this month-long period will require extra care, mindfulness, and patience. Let us understand the impact and remedies for those most affected.
Taurus (Vrishabha Rashi)
For Taurus, this transit affects the area of home, mother, and emotional security. There may be differences of opinion within the family or sudden changes in domestic plans. Property-related matters could get stuck temporarily. Your emotional balance will be tested, and you may feel the urge to withdraw.

Undo
This is a period to maintain peace at home and avoid unnecessary confrontations.
Remedy: Offer white flowers to Mata Parvati on Fridays and donate milk to the needy on Sundays.
Leo (Simha Rashi)
Leo natives are at the centre of this conjunction as it occurs in your own sign. You may question your identity, leadership style, or life direction. Ketu will bring situations that humble the ego, making you reflect on what truly matters. There might be moments of self-doubt, but these are meant to guide you inward. This is a period for humility and spiritual focus rather than self-promotion.
Remedy: Perform Surya Arghya daily at sunrise, wear gold with a red thread, and meditate on your breath and heart chakra.
Virgo (Kanya Rashi)
Virgo natives will experience this in the area of expenditure, foreign connections, and spiritual retreat. Expenses may rise unexpectedly, and sleep patterns might get disturbed. You may feel drawn to solitude or spiritual practices, but avoid isolating yourself completely. This is a good time for charity and introspection, but not for risky financial decisions.
Remedy: Offer durva grass to Lord Ganesha on Wednesdays and recite Vishnu Sahasranama.
Scorpio (Vrishchik Rashi)
For Scorpios, this transit impacts career and public reputation.
Authority figures may not seem supportive, or you may face sudden changes in your professional role. Office politics could become stressful, so focus on work ethics and patience. Avoid public disputes or ego battles at the workplace.
Remedy: Offer red flowers to Surya and recite
Aditya Hridaya Stotra
every Sunday.
Capricorn (Makar Rashi)
For Capricorn, the Surya–Ketu union happens in the area of transformation, sudden changes, and hidden matters. You may uncover secrets or experience sudden shifts in financial matters like inheritance or insurance.
This is a period to stay alert but calm, as overreacting could make matters worse.
Remedy: Offer water mixed with red sandalwood to Surya at sunrise and chant the
Mahamrityunjaya Mantra
daily.
Pisces (Meena Rashi)
Pisces natives will see this conjunction in the areas of health, daily work, and competition. There may be an increased workload, and neglecting health could cause fatigue. Hidden rivals may try to trouble you, but staying focused will help you overcome challenges.
Remedy: Meditate on Lord Vishnu's image and donate yellow fruits to the needy on Thursdays.
