Frequently Asked Questions
1. Who is the lord of the sixth house, how to find out?
To know the lord of the sixth house, look at the number written in the sixth house of the horoscope. If there is 1 or 8, the lord is Mars; for 2 or 7 it is Venus; for 3 or 6 it is Mercury; for 4 it is Moon; for 5 it is Sun; for 9 or 12 it is Jupiter; and for 10 or 11 it is Saturn. The position of this lord planet, the aspect of other planets on it, and its strength determine the nature of your enemies and diseases and how firmly you will be able to fight them.
2. Does Jupiter in the sixth house always give bad results?
According to astrological principles, Jupiter in the sixth house can be considered slightly weak for health, especially for the digestive system or liver, under the rule of 'Karako Bhava Nashaya'. However, from a professional point of view, this position can be extremely auspicious. It can bring very high positions and great respect in society to the native in the fields of medicine, law, or social service. If Jupiter is sitting strong here, it provides the native with the power to come out of the biggest troubles and the wisdom to keep enemies calm.
3. Does the sixth house tell about freedom from debt?
Yes, the sixth house is primarily the significator of 'Rina' i.e., debt. If the Shashthesh (lord of the sixth house) forms auspicious relations with the lords of the eleventh (gain) or second (wealth) houses and the position of Mars is strong, the person remains successful in repaying the debt easily. On the contrary, if the Shashthesh goes to the twelfth house or is afflicted by cruel planets, one has to face a lot of struggle in repaying the debt. The Mahadasha of the right time also plays an important role in freedom from debt.
4. What is the difference between Rahu and Ketu in the sixth house?
Rahu in the sixth house makes the native a diplomat and he wins over external enemies with his intellect and strategy. Rahu often brings victory in legal matters here. On the other hand, Ketu here can become the significator of internal enemies like mental delusion, fear, and unknown diseases. Rahu makes the native a warrior in physical struggles, while Ketu often indicates secret enemies or such health problems that are difficult to catch. In both situations, relations with the maternal side are affected.
5. What remedies should be done if Moon is in the sixth house?
Moon situated in the sixth house can make the mind unstable and weak, due to which the native has to face mental stress, cold and cough, and negative thoughts. For its remedy, performing the Abhishek of Lord Shiva every Monday is extremely effective. The native should always drink water in a silver glass and should have Moon vision (Chandra Darshan) on the full moon day. Donating white items and taking the mother's blessings also provide mental peace and reduce the negative effects of the sixth house, giving strength to fight diseases.
