The 6th House: Debts, Disputes and Enemies
The 6th house rules loans, litigation, enemies and competition. Natural malefics there - the Sun, Mars, Saturn or Rahu - give the strength to defeat opponents and clear debts. When the 6th lord sits in the 6th, 8th or 12th house (Harsha and Viparita yogas), opponents tend to weaken themselves. The 6th lord in the 2nd, 8th or 12th house can let debt eat into savings.
Justice, Delay and Deception
- Jupiter and the 9th house - justice, judges and dharma.
- Saturn - the law and long delays.
- Mercury - documents, agreements and lawyers.
- Rahu - deception, false claims and secret enemies.
- The 7th house - open opponents; the 8th and 12th - hidden ones.
When to Settle, File or Repay
Disputes and debts turn in your favour in the periods of planets in the 6th house, the lords of the 3rd, 6th and 11th houses, and a strong Jupiter. The sub-periods of the 8th and 12th lords, Sade Sati and Ashtama Shani are better for settlement than for new fights or new loans.
