The name Setu Ketu means:
In Vedic astrology, Setu and Ketu can be related in several ways:
Ketu as a Lunar Node - Ketu is one of the lunar nodes (along with Rahu) and represents detachment, spirituality, past karma and mystical enlightenment. It has no physical body, but is seen as the "dragon's tail", symbolizing what we have already mastered in past lives.
"Setu" means "bridge" in Sanskrit and is sometimes used to refer to a transition path between the material and spiritual planes. In some astrological texts, the node of the Rahu-Ketu axis is called "Setu" because it acts as a bridge between past and future karma.
"Setu Ketu" in spiritual sense means the bridge to liberation (Moksha), as Ketu rules renunciation, detachment and spiritual wisdom. Depending on the house and aspects in the birth chart, Ketu can indicate a strong calling to inner exploration.
