What is the Sixth house of the birth chart?

The 6th house is also known as the horoscope's house of Diseases, Loans, Enemies(hidden), daily routines and Jobs (Service). It is also the accumulation of past life karmas as it is the 2nd house from the 5th house of Purva Punya. The natural owner of this house is Mercury and the element of this house is Earth.
The issues of legal litigations, one’s involvement in them and loans are also seen from this house as affected by the placement of its lord in different houses and other planets placed in this sixth house.

What is the Saturn and Rahu conjunction in Astrology?

A major part of this has been mentioned in the first blog of this series of What is Saturn and Rahu conjunction.

Saturn and Rahu Conjunction in the 6th house of the birth chart General characteristics:

Both these planets give different types of results when placed individually in this house. Now with the conjunction there comes some difference in their overall results as compared to the single placement in this house. The negative results might be less or missing in those horoscopes where Saturn owns the 6th house.

Since the 6th house is originally owned by Mercury and is the house that shows many things and the first one amongst them is diseases. This tug of war of Saturn and Rahu can cause issues in one having some disease until there are other benefic yog in the horoscope. The individual could still be healthy if the ascendant is in good dignity and gets aspects from benefic planets. Also, if the Sixth lord is working as a friend with the ascendant lord then also the individual will be able to fight off diseases.
6th house is also the house of hidden enemies so Rahu here fights them and gives this individual a very competitive spirit. These individuals do not give up easily and are ready to fight to any length. Since this house also shows the daily routine. It is seen that generally; such individuals would be very particular about their time schedules with Rahu being present in the 6th house. This could get some hindrance with Saturn being present there.

The person with such conjunction in the 6th house will argue and if other planets are placed well one could be a successful arbitrator or a lawyer.
At times some repetitive habits are also seen from Saturn being in the 6th house which is known as an obsessive-compulsive disorder this could be further confirmed if the 6th house lord is afflicted in some manner like it being retrograde.

It is said that Lord Ram’s horoscope has Rahu in the 6th house in the zodiac sign of Sagittarius and his opponents were of qualities of Rahu i.e. They were intelligent and had powers of deceiving be it Maarich the one who converted into a golden dear or be it Raavan who is known to be very powerful and a very learned person of many sciences including that of astrology.

This position is very difficult profession-wise as Saturn here gives a person the ability to serve and Rahu here doesn’t let anyone follow others. This tug of war can be balanced in a person’s life if the person gets a job with some authority. If the individual doesn’t have a position of some authority the person will be very unhappy while doing the job allocated.
With this combination/conjunction present in the 6th house the person will, without doubt, be somehow related to the legal matters and win them as well unless there are other factors which are negating this strong conjunction like a very weak position and dignity of the 6th lord itself.

This conjunction could have very good or bad results when both these two planets are in the middle part of the zodiac sign and have their full power to give their results. This is because any planet is said to be in its total youthful stage when it is in the very middle part of any zodiac sign.
This conjunction should be watched very carefully, especially if one undergoes the dasha, Antardasha or pratyantar dasha of Shani in Rahu or Rahu in Shani.
Apart from the dasha while in transit if this combination forms anywhere in any zodiac sign this individual could feel that energy related to the house where it is forming in the transit of planets.

Here a major thing that can be said is if Saturn controls and Rahu follows then there is a tenacious attitude in the person and this person works for success in a right lawful manner if it is the opposite then Rahu will take the person on a different trajectory and won’t shy away from using non-legal ways for the ways towards the end and Saturn will eventually give the judgement for the karmas of the Rahu as done by Rahu.

Saturn and Rahu Conjunction in the 6th house of birth chart and career:

Because this conjunction gives some shrewdness to a person, here it is being formed in the 6th house which is the house of services, diseases, loans and enemies. The chances of a person relating with the legal field become very high and one would have the ability to turn a lie into truth as well if the mercury is also in the same mode life mercury being retrograde. Such a person could also be a lawyer.
These individuals can also make money through the loans business as well.
The individuals could get into any profession depending on their zodiac sign and also on the 10th house and its lord’s position in the horoscope as well.

Rahu and Saturn conjunction in the sixth house of birth chart and Marriage /Married life:

The individual would face issues due to the habit of arguing incessantly with their partners.
This person could have a surviving marriage if the 7th house or the 7th lord is in good dignity and aspected by the great benefactor Jupiter.
With this combination in 6th Ketu will be in the 12th house of bed pleasures so eventually the person might not get along with just one person and could end up having multiple partners so that also could affect the marriage partnership of the person.

Rahu and Saturn conjunction in the 6th house of birth chart and Health:

This combination could give the person some stomach-related diseases. These could include diseases like constipation. One could also suffer from lungs related diseases like asthma.
Since this house shows repetitive habits as well so if the 2nd house or 2nd lord is also disturbed and the 3rd and 11th house (houses showing immediate neighbours and friends) are not in good lordship then a person could get smoking habits as well further leading to related diseases.
This conjunction could make one suffer from the zodiac sign part signification-related diseases as well during unfavourable dasha or sub-Dasha.
