Workable
The Sun and Ketu
1 reads 7 as neutral and 7 reads 1 as a friend. The 7 goes deep and looks to the 1 to face the market; the 1 accepts the depth without always seeing its value, because Ketu's work is inward and the Sun's is outward. The pair is workable in product companies, research and anything that crosses borders.
