6th house from Lagna in the horoscope represents debts/ liabilities, ailments, enmity, and also career but that has to be assessed minutely taking into consideration the 10th lord, his nakshatra chaaram and planets aspecting and associated with the 6th house and the 6th house lord. It also signifies imprisonment, losing money, poisonous peedas, punishment by the establishment and certain other negative things.

6th house from any Lagna  signifies Shatru Sthanam, Roga sthanam, Runa sthanam. Meaning house of enemies, house of ailments and house of liabilities or debts. Besides punishment from establishment, imprisonment, getting burgled, it can also lead to getting bitten by poisonous snakes or any visha species.

6th lord in Lagna

Most of the time suffering from ailments, lack of confidence, inexplicable fear in everything. Almost always turbulent harassment from creditors which needed to be watched all the time. Suffering from fear of failure and inferiority complex. But if the 6th house or 6th lord of the horoscope gets shubha graha association, there may be minor relief now and then.

Debts would be disproportionate to income. Would have unnecessary impulsive buying habits, may be disinterested in education. Lot of difficulties are expected for the native.

Also the 11th house signifies realization of legitimate ambitions, receipt of money, name and fame. The elder siblings would have health problems. Debts will be a matter of concern.

Cannot be relied upon. The rivals’ animosity towards them may induce a down fall but because of resilience, they would be hailed as heroes.

Summary

Throughout the discussion regarding 6th house in different houses, it could be noticed that the interpretations may appear discouraging except in certain places. The objective is that the narratives should be practical in line with life incidents which the planets portray beautifully.

As someone said, ‘Astrology is the interpretation of a human being’s response to planetary constellations, effects, and counter effects. It is by and large connected to one’s own PAST KARMA.
