A major part of this has been mentioned in the last blog. Please refer to the prologue of What is Saturn Ketu conjunction in Astrology ?
Ketu Saturn in sixth house of the birth chart General characteristics:
Now the very basic nature of this conjunction of some bohemian kind of nature that this house brings will surely show the traits in the person in every house. The question is how will that be different from the first house in that case as it’s the ascendant only that primarily defines what a person becomes over time.
Now, the Sixth house gets the conjunction of these two malefic planets. The natural owner of this house is Mercury which represents the subconscious of a person and this is also the house of loans, hidden enemies and diseases. The element of this house is Earth (Prithvi tattva). It gives such natives more enemies than friends. This might not be the case if the 11th house of friends has good benefic planets placed in it along with the ascendant lord.
The native could have some repetitive habits like some kind of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder like washing hands very often after touching anything in public owing to Saturn being there as Saturn is also the kaarak and the 6th house is the daily routine of a person.
Saturn will have its 3rd aspect on the 8th house and bring difficulties in marital life. Due to this marital life will be primarily full of struggles. Also, because the Rahu now occupies the bedroom house i.e. the 12th house so Native might have many partners only for self-satisfaction and no emotional attachment with the partners.
Native’s digestive system gets affected by the conjunction and that could be affected. Native can also have issues with Arms and feet as well.
Ketu in the 6th could give the native some diseases and they might not be easy to diagnose and would take long and many opinions of various doctors till the right issue is found.
This conjunction again makes an unorthodox person even in the 6th house. Because Saturn gives its aspect to the 8th house, there is a chance of getting involved in some underground activities or something that is not very clean in the nature business.
This placement shows very heavy past life karmas. This conjunction can get serious issues in females in adverse dasha and transit like amputation for medical reasons like the uterus or fallopian tube removal etc.
This conjunction makes a native struggle between the realities that Saturn wants to show and the imagination of salvation that Ketu wants to achieve giving rise to mental confusion. These kinds of issues could end up in higher psychiatric issues like seizures. Natives might send their children to hostels as well for studies and be distant from them.
Depression is a major trait given by this conjunction and comes out when the moon is not in a good position or strength. This conjunction can be called a good conjunction maybe only for a sage or a person who goes out alone in search of oneself. Then this would give a person very good concentration power as well.
In adverse Dasha, there could be surgeries involving either the 8th house-related areas like the private organs etc. or the areas related to the 12th house i.e. foot joint or the 3rd house i.e. arms and ear. This could manifest in any manner. It could be as simple as a pile’s operation to something like a vasectomy.

One could be a businessman as well but for that, the 7th house and the 11th house have to be better and stronger than the 6th house. Rahu of the 12th house will surely make one go abroad or away from home. Educated and skilled personnel will go abroad and might settle there as well.
The career could be in team management, Librarian, a field of Law related profiles like paralegal, Daily wage work, multinationals or hospitals/asylums as serving staff. Native can make a good writer/scriptwriter or a director in the media line as well. One could become a financer as well.

During the Dasha or Antardasha of Saturn or Ketu, there will be issues and professional work may get affected as well because the 6th house is getting the aspect from Saturn along with the 10th house that gets the aspect of the conjunction.

Ketu Saturn in sixth house of birth chart and Marriage /Married life:
