If a person passing through the KETHU DASA(major period) in their own birth chart, They should worship Lord Ganesh on Sankashta Chaturthi or Sankatahara Chaturti. This would nullify the malefic effect of Planet Kethu.
Ganesha Gayatri
Ohm Eikdantaye Vidmahe,
Vakratundaye Dhi-Mahi
Tan No Buddhih Prachodayat
Meaning:
We devote our thoughts to the One Tusked Lord
We meditate upon Him who has a Curved trunk
May the tusked one guide us on the right path.
