6th house from Arudha Lagna

What happens when both benefics and malefics occupy the AL6? The person is pulled between both spirituality and other pursuits. The malefics while deny the pravraja yoga, but will help one win over enemies as the tamasic nature of the house will support the tamasic planets.

in the 3 rd and 6 th can give good results if the karma phala is renounced, Vivikananda renounced karma phala and then he achieved great success. Sometimes you will see people with in these placements but they still do no renounce, this is often because is in a rajasic naksatra which does not allow the mind to renounce.

A natural malefic in the AL6 gives very good results in the material word, but not for spirituality. The 3rd and 6th from the AL indicate our ambitions and what we do and or use to get what we want. That is why malefics are good for material prosperity. “If a natural malefic is placed alone in the sixth house from AL , there shall be yoga during its period resulting in growth of lands, good crops and agriculture, physical prowess and success in battles. However, Parasara adds that the nature will receive illegal gratification like black money etc [3].” This is a very important note to make. If someone has been charged with accepting black money, look at the AL6 and see if there are any malefics placed there, this will indicate whether they make money from underhanded situations or not. In the example below, there are two charts of business partners; the business failed and there were accusations of fraud. Look at sixth from AL , can you determine which partner is the one to have likely done some type of fraudulent activity.

“Natural benefics placed in the third and sixth houses do not make a person cowardly, but produce belief in ahimsa (i.e. the path of non-violence) and give rise to spiritualism and saints [4].” and do best in quadrants from AL as it gives them the full room to create, and their worst placement for creation is in the 3rd and 6th . The rajasic planets in these houses will make the person a renunciate, as well as other benefics if they are strong, this is a type of pravraja yoga(combination for renunciation). Swami Vivikananda (chart on left) had and in the 6th house, he was a perfect Sanyas.

To note, he also had in AL5 which made him known for his perception intelligence, Vedanta and gave him the leadership image to start the Ramakrishna mission. Srila Prabhupada had and in the AL6 and was exalted, this gave him a very high level of sanyas. This combination falls in the 10th house from the lagna which shows he attains fame through his renunciation. This combination falls into Capricorn for Vivikananda so it shows his devotion to Kali (). Prabhupada had his Pravraja Yoga in Virgo so his devotion was to Krsna (). Ramana Maharishi has Ve and Me 12th from AL , which is also a tamasic house, but it is a house of giving up, as opposed to the six which gives a disliking.

The 6th house has a natural connection with celibacy as it is the 12th from the 7th. Ramana Maharishi was not inclined to make his students take sanyas, he let them follow their own path and let renunciation happen if it was the body’s destiny. As he himself didn’t take formal renunciation. He “awoke” at the age of 16, wandered away to the mountain of whose name was reverberating in his mind, throw his belonging away (was given a haircut by a barber who noticed his mood of renunciation), then it is said to have lightly showered down (as if the rain gave him a ritual cleansing/blessing). Then he entered into many years of deep Samadhi. He said he was a sanyas because that was his body’s destiny.

The AL6 is another tamasic house with tamasic karakas. It is a dangerously destructive house, rajasic planets lose their want to create. The sattvic planets are weak here and the tamasic planets have a similar effect as in the third house, though here they are much more active. Malefics here will give a person a very warring nature. Jaimini says, “if malefics are in the 3rd and 6th houses [from AL], the native joins the armed forces” (1.3.36). Malefics in these placements will give a person a harsh tone in their voice and they will often be perceived as aggressive.

From the lagna, subha planets like , , , and indicate one who shall be freed from the troubles of the sixth house by the deity indicated by the planet. Disease and enemies (Agantuka drista) will be alleviated by propitiation to those planets. In the 6 th house from Arudha , benefics or a strong benefic lord can torment the native with enemies [1]. Hitler (chart on left) had as both lord of 6th from lagna and 6 th from AL, but 6th from AL had three subha planets.

Hitler was ready to take on big adversaries but they ended up being too big for him. “ kala nadi says that for Libra lagna native, the great blessing is the strength of exalted as the enemies will flee like elephants running from a battlefield. Now, if Libra is the Arudha , then the exactly opposite situation would arise if the sixth lord were exalted. This may seem easy to understand, but in application, this is the key to Raj-jyotish [2].” Hitler has 6th from AL , a sattvic planet in a tamasic placement. Sattvic planets are not good in Tamasic positions. They make a persons spirituality come not by the person’s own desire.
