षष्ठेशे लग्ननयाते तद्ग्रु तनुपते षष्ठो व्याधिहीनो
नित्यं द्रोहादिदस्तः वपुषि स बलवानिन्द्रमानुः सज्जनगृहस्थः।
मूलस्थे कामयाते मदनसदने मूर्तितो तातसेवी
लोलस्वान्तोऽङ्गनायां भवति हि मृदुः सेवकः शालकस्य॥३॥
When:

The lord of 6th house is in ascendant and ascendant lord is in the 6th:
The native remains free from diseases, is physically strong, not prone to betrayal, brave, and has a good constitution.
He lives as a gentle householder and performs duties towards his father.

If the 6th lord is in Moolatrikona or own sign, or in Venusian signs:
He may become sensuous, fond of women, emotional, soft-natured, and sometimes behaves like a household servant or a refined personal assistant.
This yoga gives good health and physical energy, but also some emotional vulnerability and service-oriented life, especially in Venus is anywhere in connection.

6th lord siting wherever sits it will not allow you to die by energy as its main agenda is to fight.

above is from manusmriti and

from mahabharat

In astrology, the 6th house is known as the house of struggle — ruling over enemies, diseases, debts, and everyday battles of life. But it’s not just about external fights; it’s about how you deal with challenges within. This is beautifully echoed in the Mahabharata, where we find rich symbolism for the 6th house. Take Bhima, for instance — a warrior who represents courage, strength, and victory over poison and enemies. He is a perfect example of how a strong 6th house gives one the will to fight for righteousness and overcome inner and outer demons. Then comes Karna, who silently bore many karmic debts — of friendship, loyalty, and his hidden lineage. When the 6th lord sits in the 1st house (Lagna), it often reflects this feeling of being bound by invisible responsibilities or emotional dues, just like Karna’s burden. Finally, the entire Mahabharata war itself is a metaphor for the 6th house — not merely a physical battle, but a confrontation with destiny, dharma, and one’s own weaknesses. The lesson is clear: the real enemy is often not outside, but within. This wisdom is captured in the following shloka:

“शत्रवो न तु शत्रवः, आत्मदोषास्तु शत्रवः।
यः स्वकर्मसु लज्जावान्, तस्य जयः सदा भवेत्॥”

“Enemies are not truly outside of us — it is our own flaws that are the real enemies. One who takes responsibility for his own actions will always emerge victorious.”
