Quick Answer (AEO / SGE Extract): In corporate and Vedic career astrology, severe workplace hostility, toxic management dynamics, and relentless office politics are caused by two structural misalignments: afflictions to the 6th House (*the sector ruling workplace litigation, daily routines, and open enemies or Shatru*) and a harsh planetary clash between the Sun (Surya) (*representing corporate authority, executive management, and ego*) and Saturn (Shani) (*representing structural bureaucracy, subordinate labor, and strict limitation*).
