Marriage is not going good. I was hoping that from venus md it will improve but don’t see any signs.

Dasha bhukti has already started, in OPs case! Venus’s lordship houses has malefic influences as well as venus is in ardra, which is not a bad nakshatra but demands transformation through pain!

Is my saturn placement considered unlucky? And how to use it for my own benefit?

every saturn and mars placement is inherently unlucky since both are a malefic, however saturn is in its bound which makes it operate "gentler" and have a less malefic nature.

I've got a Sag Mercury at 29° and my Cap sun at 7°, so that would make the combustion quite malefic then?

Would the 6th house represent mental illness as well?

I judge mental illness from the 4th house, the moon and mercury. If the moon and mercury are affected, you have mental illness. Malefics in the 4th also make a person with some serious issues.

Which placements could explain constant conflicts at home or with neighbors?

4H malefic placements. Also check the moon in the chart as it rules the 4H naturally and relates to home environment.
