Ketu in the 6th House (Scorpio Ascendant)

Ketu in Aries (Friendly) · 6th house of enemies, disease, debts, competition and service · Scorpio Lagna

Ketu, the shadow planet of detachment, insight and moksha, placed in the 6th house of enemies, disease, debts, competition and service for a Scorpio ascendant, occupies the sign of Aries. Its dignity here is Friendly. Ketu owns no sign in the classical scheme; it acts as a co-lord (Scorpio) and delivers the results of its sign lord, nakshatra dispositor and conjunct planets. Because the 6th house governs enemies, disease, debts, competition and service, this single placement colours health, relationships and timing of events — but final results always depend on exact degrees, combustion/retrogression, aspects, and the D9 Navamsha strength of Ketu.
