KETU IN THE 6TH HOUSE

This is a house where Ketu's results are not parallel to that of Mercury, though in other houses Ketu gives results parallel to those of Mercury. Ketu in the 6th house gives an alert mind, good memory, tendency to follow up past events and actions (but not in a revengeful manner). It also gives a healthy body, tendency to work hard constantly and continuously, and convenience of means of transport. To those living in rural areas Ketu gives fondness for pets and milch animals, keenness to forgive minor offence or insult by others, but not to forgive or forget serious types of insult and injury.

Along with Rahu and Saturn, Ketu in the 6th house is capable of giving differences or even disputes with maternal uncles, maternal aunts, in rare cases, based on the question of inheritance from maternal grandparents or maternal family. If Jupiter is in conjunction with Ketu within 12 degrees, the differences and disputes might go to the extent of legal action, because Ketu in the 6th house gives narrow-mindedness especially where the maternal family is concerned.

Ketu gives quick recovery from illness, provided it is not a bone injury nor fracture or sex-related complaints of health. Individuals with the conjunction of Venus with Ketu in the 6th house should try to keep away from extra-marital relationships or free-lance physical relations with any sex.
