What Indian name would you give me? I call my dog Ketu sometimes too

“In Vedic astrology, Ketu is a "shadow planet" (shadowy node) representing the descending lunar node, symbolizing karmic collections, detachment, spirituality, and liberation(Moksha). As the tail of the serpent-demon Svarbhanu, it signifies the separation from material desires, fostering intense intuition, introspection, and sometimes sudden, transformative, or chaotic life changes.
Key Aspects of Ketu:
  • Symbolism: Often depicted as the headless tail of a snake, representing action without premeditated thought or ego.
  • Significance: Known for creating feelings of non-attachment, isolation, and spiritual seeking. It is considered a Tamasic (darkness/inertia) planet that forces detachment, potentially leading to material loss in order to prompt spiritual growth.
  • Astrological Impact: Governs wisdom, psychic abilities, and is considered the significator of final liberation (Moksha). It acts similar to Mars (fire element) in its quick,, and intense energy.
  • Associations: It is associated with the Nakshatras (lunar mansions) Ashvini, Magha, and Mula.
  • Rahu-Ketu Axis: While Rahu represents worldly desire and future karma, Ketu represents the wisdom gained from past lives and karmic completion.
Ketu is generally considered a malefic planet in terms of worldly comfort but highly beneficial for spiritual evolution.”

“Ketu is a Sanskrit name meaning "banner,""flag," or "sign," representing the south lunar node in Vedic astrology, often called the "Dragon's Tail," symbolizing spirituality, detachment, and past-life karma, while also being an epithet for Lord Shiva.
It signifies introspection, liberation, and transcendence, guiding towards spiritual knowledge and otherworldly experiences.
Astrological Meanings (Vedic)
Lunar Node:
The point where the Moon's orbit intersects the Sun's path, opposite Rahu (North Node).
Symbolism:
The tail of the serpent or dragon, a headless body representing deep wisdom, hidden knowledge, and the subconscious.
Themes:
Renunciation, mysticism, psychic abilities, inner knowing, past life karma, and spiritual liberation (moksha).
Linguistic & Cultural Meanings
  • Sanskrit Root: Means "sign," "banner," "flag," or something that "has an extension".
  • Early Literature: Referred to comets, meteors, or unknown fiery celestial entities.
  • Hinduism: An epithet for Lord Shiva, representing purity and victory.
As a Name (Personal)
  • Qualities: Implies spirituality, detachment, wisdom, and introspection.
  • Related Names: Suggests valor (Mahaketu) or purity (Swetaketu).”
