The Sixth is the house
of disease and enmity.
It indicates
opposition,
difficulties, and
obstacles in life, and
can give many
problems.
As a house of disease,
planets here tend to
cause physical
disorders according to
their nature,
particularly relative
to the digestive
system, which the
house rules. Hence,
influences here, like
those to the
Ascendant, are
important for showing
our physical
constitution in life.
It is a house of
injury and shows
wounds and accidents.
It is a house of power
and impulse and shows
the negative effects
of abuse of power,
which may be directed
against us or come
through us. It may
show our own martial
prowess or that of our
enemies as well as the
dangers and
inevitability of
self-harm, which come
from any use of
violent force.
Malefics here (like
Sun, Saturn or Mars)
are strong and can
show our ability to
defeat our enemies;
but they still tend to
give health problems
and much struggle in
life. As indicating
our enemies in life,
the Sixth may indicate
theft or litigation
and thus cause
poverty. Consequently,
it is indicative of
where we should place
our caution in life.
The Sixth House
relates to work and
service, to our
capacity for Karma
Yoga and for
discipline and
austerity; thereby
well-placed planets
here can aid in our
spiritual evolution.
Yet it may also
indicate overwork or
cause us to become
subservient. Benefics
here tend to make us
more service oriented,
gentle, self-negating,
and without enmity.
The Sixth often gives
skill and intelligence
but seldom gives
recognition for them.
It is a house of
effort and shows our
capacity to do great
labors. It also shows
our relationship with
foreigners or distant
relatives. |
