6th House of Horoscope

Welcome, my dear cosmic warriors. I’m AVOY AMRITO DAS; your resident astrologer, and this is astroavoy.com, a website dedicated to astrology, esotericism, and all things magic. Today I am going to explain about the sixth (6th) house of horoscope. Hope you will enjoy my research work & stay with me.

6TH HOUSE :

The 6th house indicates maternal uncle, doubts about death, enemies, ulcers, step mother, punishment etc. The 6th bhava, along with the 3rd, 10th and 11th is ‘Upachaya’. It is the house of service (work). 6th is also the house of punishment, depending on whether the work performed is good or bad. The 6th is the 3rd from 4th, which is the house of mother. Hence maternal uncles are seen from the 6th house. 6th is the house of enemies. The strength and weakness of the enemy is to be seen from here. It is considered always good to have a weak or debilitated 6th lord as it indicates that the enemy is weak and could be won over. However, to defeat the enemy the person would require a strong 7th house. The 6th is also the house of service. This determines whether the person would be a ‘karmayogi’ or not. It also determines whether the person would render service or would run a business and in what manner and circumstances. To determine the karma of the 6th house it is important to study the 10th from it i.e., the 3rd house (Bhavatbhavam principle) which determines the karma of the service rendered by the person. “Shramdan” (rendering service in terms of physical labour in temples or places of worship and worship to “Shani” – the lord for labour) will rectify afflictions to the 6th house. The 6th house indicates servants too. It also indicates whether the person himself will do his work or will get done from the servants. Even the faithfulness/morality of the servants could be determined from the 6th house.
