Jupiter, Venus and Ketu in the 6th house: the reading
Ketu is well placed in the 6th house, Jupiter gives mixed results there and Venus is strained there, so Ketu leads the trio here. Inside the trio, Jupiter and Ketu do best here: Jupiter and Ketu in the 6th house give healing and spiritual service, detachment from enemies and debts, and wisdom through illness or service. Jupiter and Venus are the pair to watch: The two benefics in the 6th house are weakened by the dusthana: service through counsel, healing, beauty or hospitality prospers, enemies are disarmed by grace, but marriage and fortune carry conflict and health suffers from indulgence.
When it works
- Service through counsel or healing
- Enemies disarmed
- Healing service
- Peace with enemies
What needs care
- Marriage conflict
- Indulgence-related illness
- Loss of fortune
- Vague illness
