How will this conjunction affect health, married life, home/happiness and unexpected incidents in life with their positive or negative flavours and the best remedies?
What is the Ninth (9th) house of the birth chart?
The 9th house is also known as the horoscope's house of Father, fortune, one’s higher knowledge, religion and individual’s teachers in life. It can be said that every house’s opposite is what a person desires in that house so since it is the opposite of the third house (inclination to learn, short travels) shows that this is the house of higher learning and long-distance travels.
This is also the house that gives information about the father, and religious/spiritual teachers for the individual. It’s the most auspicious house and the natural owner of this house is Jupiter which is considered the greatest benefic for most horoscopes. This house carries the highest vibration of the Dharma trikon.

Saturn-Ketu conjunction/combination is in the 9th house of the birth chart General characteristics:
The natural owner of this house is Jupiter which represents the knowledge, happiness and growth of a person and this is also the house of the father, gurus and one’s fortune in life to name a few. The element of this house is Fire (Agni tattva). It is regarded as one of the best houses because if the 9th house is good then the luck of a person takes him across any problems of life that one might face.
It is the natural tendency of this house to give primarily good results unless there are major cancelling factors in the horoscope.
This is also the house of higher thoughts and learnings of a person. So now Saturn would constrict the house and Ketu will dry the normal results of the fortune of natives making one more interested in spirituality. Also, the intuitive combination here in the 9th house can do wonders for a person if the person does things right.
One will feel that results are not coming as per the efforts one puts into any task undertaken by them. If Saturn is debilitated in the 9th house and the ascendant lord is also not in good strength then there are chances that the person might not be very successful post-marriage. The native will have to work very hard to achieve material success as the house of luck is directing this native towards spirituality. Natives cannot afford to leave anything on their fate and they would have to follow the saying “Self-Made Success”.
Family relations suffer due to the person becoming negligent towards material success. The person will be very hard-working and at the same time will try to find quick ways to accomplish things.
Here also while becoming a spiritual person could learn the ways of the occult sciences like palmistry, astrology and tarot card readings etc.
The native will have issues and obstacles while trying for higher education. The health of the father would also get affected in some manner. There will be a delay in the rising of one’s fortune as Saturn blesses but with a delay.
