You can read about this in more detail in our previous blog : What is Saturn Ketu conjunction in astrology ?
Saturn-Ketu conjunction/combination is in the 3rd house of the birth chart General characteristics:
The 3rd house is the addition or the wealth of the 2nd house as in astrology every next house is the wealth of the present house and one house behind is the expense of the house.
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 that comes is how will that be different from the first house in that case as it’s the ascendant only which primarily defines what a person becomes over some time.
The second house is verbal communication so add to that is non-verbal communication which is shown by the 3rd house. This house is also the house of courage which is a very important house in any horoscope as not only it is the courage it is 8th from the 8th house so the death of the death house. If none of the houses in the horoscope are good but the 3rd house is strong and the 3rd lord is also good then come what in the life of the native, the native will have the strength of will to change one’s fate. Now non-verbal communication gets affected by the presence of this conjunction and it becomes harsh.
Since the element of mystery is going in the house of siblings also the relationship with the younger siblings is affected in some negative manner. Either native becomes harsh over time or is unable to express their thoughts and feelings.
Now, from the 3rd house that shows arms and Saturn gives its 3rd aspect over the 5th house of creativity and writing skills as well so in childhood a kid would have difficulty holding a pen or pencil or the child could hold the pen or pencil differently than the normal people. This trait could be seen more strongly if Moon also gets afflicted in this conjunction. Though these kinds of issues improve over some time as Saturn makes the person work hard many times on the same thing till one learns that task.
As we know that where Ketu is placed it gives a reclusive attitude in that house or one can say the person has already done all that in previous births and the person is supposed to work on the opposite trait of that house. So, Ketu will prevent a native from getting into difficult situations of physical fights and will either not be involved in anything involving physical fights or run away if that person gets into any physical altercation native might act in a headless manner without thought that is signified by Ketu.
Such individuals should not disrespect their fathers and gurus/teachers for having the support of good luck.
This conjunction makes a native work more than other colleagues and more responsibilities with less remuneration. Promotions come after Saturn is satisfied with the hard work done by natives. This is also possible that natives procrastinate due to dilemmas in decision-making.
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.
Saturn-Ketu conjunction in 3rd House of birth chart and career:
The profession of a native in general cannot be said by just one planet or conjunction of one or many planets. But the impact of a particular planet or conjunction is what we are discussing here and currently, we are talking about the effect of Saturn-Ketu on the career. For the career or profession of a person, multiple houses are involved and the house lords and their aspects also matter along with the Dasha and transit as one person might do many jobs at one time and then won’t work at all for quite some time. The same native can change their career/profession even after many long years of experience in a particular field.
If the 4th house of the native is strong then the person stays in the motherland and works with foreign clients. This could be in the field of outsourcing industry of research or support i.e. Tech/Customer Support or Market/Business Research etc.
Native would have the opportunities to work abroad, especially in the transit and Dasha or sub-Dasha of Rahu which is placed in the 9th house.
This conjunction can also give one interest in occult sciences and if Jupiter and Mercury are also involved in this conjunction by aspect or Nakshatra lord exchange then natives can also learn astrology and become good astrologers with good intuition.
Natives can be successful if they start a small business and maintain regularity to achieve the desired growth.
Saturn-Ketu conjunction/combination is in the 3rd house of birth chart and Marriage /Married life:
This conjunction will affect more if Saturn happens to be the 1st lord or the 7th lord in the horoscope then it would mean that the 1st lord or the 7th lord is directly conjunct with a malefic Ketu which will reduce the marital bliss from the native’s life to a great extent.
Now in case, Saturn is neither the 7th lord nor the ascendant then the effects of the general results could be a little less however if the 7th lord is aspected by this conjunction then there could be some resistance in getting into a marital relationship.
Generally, all marriages long or short are dependent on one’s past life Rinanuband (Connections from a past life with other individuals and one’s loan to be given or to be taken). In today’s date since there is openness in society and people of all genders mix very easily and communicate well so in this case the 8th house placed Rahu could bring many short-lived only bodily pleasure-oriented partnerships for this native.
In most cases, the marriage could be delayed and in some, it could be denied as well. Such individuals should get married after they attain maturity. This will help them and their partner to realise what they are getting into and can plan the future better.

Alcohol or smoking addiction is common today, especially when malefic are conjunct and they somehow influence the areas affecting the mouth and lungs. The native will suffer in health majorly unless the ascendant lord is well placed and has good strength in the Shadbal.
In the 3rd house since Ketu dries up the courage of a person, one could get phases of low confidence or an inferiority complex. The condition would be better or it might not happen if other planets like Sun, Moon, Mars and Mercury are in good strength. In adverse Transit/Dasha, surgeries are possible around the gut area or knees and feet etc. i.e. the areas where Saturn aspects.
