The 6th position in the horoscope represents diseases, enemies, debts, employment, subordinates, relations with the maternal family (such as maternal uncle and aunt), service work, and competitive exams. It is considered the 12th house of the seventh house. If a malefic planet is placed here, there can be problems in married life, and in some cases, marriages may break up.
According to Ashtaka Varga, it is preferable for the 6th house (Shashta Sthana) to have fewer points than the Lagna Sthana, as this indicates fewer conflicts. However, if the 6th house has more points than the Lagna house, the individual may have to struggle more, facing challenges such as debt, illness, property issues, and secret enemies.
That said, this rule is not always absolute. For example, if the 6th house is strong, it can provide good support from bosses and subordinate workers. If Saturn and Mars have good points, they can protect against secret enemies. If Jupiter and Venus have good points, loans and debts may be managed well. If Mercury has good points, there will be good relations with aunts and uncles.
Looking at some horoscopes in recent times, more than 90% of them have a very high number of points in the 6th house, even as high as 38-41 points. Some individuals have cracked competitive exams and are working in good positions, while others have topped their university exams. This trend can be observed in many cases.
