Jupiter and Ketu in the 6th house at a glance
When Brihaspati + Ketu (Jupiter + Ketu) share a sign, a yuti, the chart fuses Jupiter’s wisdom, growth and good fortune and Ketu’s detachment, spirituality and liberation, and here all of it works through the 6th house (Ari / Shatru), the house of health, service, competition and the obstacles you overcome (Dusthana (difficult), Upachaya (growing); natural sign Virgo). This combination also forms the named Guru-Chandala Yoga (explained below).
Each graha in the 6th house
Brihaspati (Jupiter) in the 6th houseBenefic
A benefic in a dusthana: it wins litigation and defeats enemies through wisdom and suits law, medicine and service, but debts or health lessons arrive to teach.
Ketu (Ketu) in the 6th houseMalefic
Healing, defeating enemies through detachment, and skill in service, medicine and the occult; Ketu fights well without ego in this Upachaya house.
Where each is strong or weak by sign:
| Graha | Nature | Own sign | Exalted (uchcha) | Debilitated (neecha) |
|---|---|---|---|---|

| Ketu (Ketu) | Malefic | None (chhaya graha) | Scorpio | Taurus |
Jupiter and Ketu in the 6th house: the reading
