Ketu in the 6th house in Lal Kitab
Ketu in its own 6th house: opponents fade and problems resolve, for a loyal person who helps the mama.
Mostly helpfulWhat Lal Kitab says
The 6th is Ketu's own house in Lal Kitab, shared with Mercury, which it treats as neutral, and Ketu shows its true nature here: problems dissolve, opponents lose interest and the person handles hardship calmly. The book asks for loyalty and good relations with the mama, which it ties to this Ketu's protection.
Why Ketu behaves this way here
The 6th house is Ketu's own house (pakka ghar). Lal Kitab says a planet at home shows its true nature, and its results are more dependable.

What the classical texts add
Ketu in the 6th dissolves the charge around enemies, debts, and daily grind: conflicts are shrugged off rather than fought to the finish, and rivals tend to lose interest. Classically a quietly favourable placement — the trap to watch is neglecting routine health and paperwork out of indifference.
Classical consensus (BPHS, Jataka Parijata). This is one of the classical rules HeyKundli's engine checks against every chart.
