Rahu and Ketu in the Sixth House
Conjunction of Rahu & Ketu in the Ari / Roga Bhava · Health & Obstacles · Vedic astrology
The Rahu-Ketu axis through the 6th and 12th houses places Rahu in the 6th house and Ketu in the 12th, set 180 degrees apart. The soul craves to conquer enemies, debts, disease, and daily service, while releasing a past-life pull toward isolation, foreign lands, and surrender.
How Rahu and Ketu combine here
Rahu in the 6th sharpens competitiveness, problem-solving, and a hunger to win over rivals and illness. Ketu in the 12th cools attraction to escape, retreat, and spiritual withdrawal. You fight where you once dissolved, sometimes struggling to truly rest.
When the conjunction is strong
Excellent at overcoming obstacles, litigation, and health challenges. Past-life spiritual depth gives an instinct for letting go that, used well, prevents burnout.
When it is afflicted
Workaholism, conflict-seeking, and stress-driven health issues. The 12th-house Ketu can bring poor sleep, sudden expenses, or difficulty fully disconnecting and resting.
Career & Finances
Medicine, law, military, sports, fitness, debt recovery, and service industries suit the 6th-house drive. Roles requiring constant solitude or detachment feel mismatched.
Relationships & Family
A tendency to compete rather than connect can strain bonds. Learning to surrender control, an old 12th-house strength, softens the edges.
Remedies
Keep it calm. Worship of Hanuman or Durga and disciplined service support the 6th-house Rahu; charity, rest, and Ganesha worship ease the 12th-house Ketu. Protect sleep and avoid constant conflict. Gentle Rahu and Ketu beej mantras help.
Remedies are traditional and general. Analyse the full birth chart with a qualified astrologer before wearing any gemstone.
