"I have decided to be happy because it's good for my health." ~ Voltaire

"6th house is both for friends and enemies, health and sickness, attachment and hatred, maternal relatives, cousins, servants and inferiors.

Its results are full of opposites - sharpness of the opposites is felt according to the influence of the planet, its association, conjunction, or as aspected.

The 6th house protects against enemy, sickness, sorrow and debt. "

~~ Madhya Parashari, Ch. 9 , Shloka 6

Sixth house stands for enemies, relatives, strength, illness, and stomach problems etc.

~~ BPHS Ch. 7, Shloka 39-43

6th from Budha be also considered in regard to indications derivable from Ari Bhava.

Jaya Yoga

from300 Important Combinations, #58.

"Definition:

• When the lord of the 6th is debilitated and the lord of the 10th is deeply exalted

• Jaya Yoga will arise.

Results:

• the native will be happy, victorious over his enemies, successful in all his ventures and long-lived.

Remarks:

• As the name implies, Jaya Yoga gives success in all undertakings.

• If the Yoga is really powerful, the person will hardly meet with failures or disappointments.

The 6th is a Dusthamsha and when the lord is debilitated,

then all the indications of the sixth house, viz., debts, disease and enemies will be at a discount

so that all the obstructive forces in the way of the person's prosperity will have been removed.

The lord of the 10th or house of effort, occupation and deeds will have to be in deep exaltation.

Otherwise, the yoga cannot have its full value."

From Victimhood to Validation:

• step-by-step via graha in 6

Graha in 6 indicate life's chronic, karmic imbalances: conflict, accusations, litigation, exploitation, poverty due to cheating, every type of crime, every type of disease, arguments, and addictions.

Like all karma, the scripts of the graha in bhava-6 are the vestigial remnants of unfinished business from past lives.

Each graha in 6 offers the opportunity to transform the victim experience which is toxic, punitive and exhausting -- into the conscious service experience, which is purifying, nourishing, and uplifting .

The conditions of the satkona, although they start as liabilities, can with consciousness develop into the most valuable asset-behaviors of the incarnation.

Bhava-6 can becomes literally a karma-eating machine: each moment of "karmic-echo" blaming or cheating from the past life can be identified and transformed *on the spot* into a opportunity to serve the ignorant agent who seems to be causing the problem.

However, the development of the "fortress" of compassion must be undertaken with great seriousness in order to prevent slippage into the victim mind.

Above all, the native who chose to be born with a considerable karmic script based in bhava-6 (one or more graha in 6 or in 6th from Chandra) *must* desist from blaming others.

One who has chosen an incarnation that is influenced by graha in 6 should stand always ready to identify the "matching energy" which again attracts past-life litigants. These adversaries play an important role. Their presence signals a precious opportunity to tidy up the final rebalancing of mistakes from past lives.

Dramatis Personae in the bhava-6 script:

1. Surya in bhava-6 = father is a victim, father is ill or addicted, broken trust, is exploited, a servant. Father may be adversarial, intimidating, or cheating. Class-conflict. If conscious, father may have a skilled ministry of service as social worker, skilled physician, or military officer. Older men in the life-script tend to be either ego-damaged exploiters, addicts, or medical-military professionals.

2. Chandra in bhava-6 = mother is a victim of broken trust, mother is ill, or addicted, or exploited; underpaid, in servitude. Parents in conflict, "broke" (broken balance), overworked, sick. Childhood awkward and upset. Older women in the life-script tend to be underpaid and feeling "used". Blamers; false accusation by caretakers. If compassionate, may be agents of professional medical-military service.

3. Mangala in bhava-6 = brother or peer male is a victim, brother is ill or addicted, broken trust, is exploited, a servant. Peer males in the life-script tend to be ill, adversarial, litigious, and blaming. If compassionate, peer males may undertake medical-military service.

4. Budha in bhava-6 = peer cohort such as siblings, neighbors, co-workers may practice "victimology". One's own narrative may express a litany of complaints. If compassionate, may be agents of professional medical-military service.

5. Guru in bhava-6 = professors, priests, religious teachers may practice "victimology". For a female, the first husband is a victim. If compassionate, the Guiding Advisors may be agents of professional medical-military service.

6. Shukra in bhava-6 = conditions of behavioral addiction. Sister, aunt, peer female is a victim, sister is ill or addicted, broken trust, is exploited, a servant. For a male, the first wife is a victim. Peer females in the life-script tend to be exploitive, blaming. If compassionate, may be agents of professional medical-military service.

7. Shani in bhava-6 = the lower-class beings in one's environment, such as servants and animals, may practice "victimology". For a female, the second husband is a victim. If compassionate, may accept Professional Duties for managing the social conditions of toxicity, disease, poverty, war, crime, conflict. Favors a career in public medicine or public-interest law.

6th lord is combust

• Relief from extreme conflict

• due to the self-focus of Surya, combust L-6 can produce the experience of "solipsism" that is characteristic of moudhya graha

• one may feel engaged with the topics of 6 (poverty, disease, animosity) in a specifically self-reflexive and self-referential fashion.

• On the positive side, the most brutal physical effects of 6 (enslavement, crippling disease, devastating poverty) often do not harm the native when L-6 is combust = asta, moudhya

• Neither Surya nor Chandra can be combust; therefore neither Meena nor Kumbha natives can be relieved of suffering via the benefits of moudhya L-6.

medicine

Poison is in everything, and no thing is without poison.

The dosage makes it either a poison or a remedy.

~~ Paracelsus

"Ubi virus, ibi virus"= "the strongest poisons make the best medicines"

B.V. Raman, Three Hundred Important Combinations (10th ed., Delhi, 1991. Originally published in 1947.) p.281

Pittaroga Yoga, #279:

"Definition:

• The sixth house must be occupied by the Sun,

• in conjunction with a malefic,

• and further aspected by another malefic.

Results:

• The subject suffers from bilious complaints.

Remarks: "According to Ayurveda,

the entire psychological activities of the body are controlled and brought about by three important forces or basic factors called thridoshas.

They are Vatha (wind), Pitta (bile) and Sleshma (phlegm). [BPL note: phlegm factor also called "Kapha"]

• Pitta is said to be responsible for metabolic activities.

  • The thridoshas when excited or disturbed are said to cause diseases. Each dosha has got its own attributes.

  For instance, the attributes of pitta are heat, keenness, lightness, and slight oiliness.

  • When there is excitement of pitta, the effects are

    • burning, warmth, suppuration, gangrenous ulcerations, secretions, and redness of complexion.

    Where there is Pittavriddhi (increase of bile) there will be disposition to jaundice, sleeplessness, and increase of hunger.

    • Pittakshakshayam (decrease of bile) give rise to colic troubles.

    I would refer the reader to standard works on Ayurveda for greater details.

    The Sun's position in the 6th by itself is good.

    When the Sun is in the house of diseases, joined and aspected by malefics, the native 's health will not be good and he will always suffer from one complaint or the other due to excitement or pitta or bile."

Medicine

• Surya in 6

• Chandra in 6

• Budha in 6

• Shukra in 6

The more graha residing in bhava-6, and the more influential the drishti incoming to bhava-6, the more the native is involved with medicines, toxicity, and conditions of imbalance.

Self-medication is especially common with Surya, Chandra, or Budha in 6. Drishti of Mangala into 6 + graha in 6 may produce invasive or destructive self-medication, including addictions.

• Chandra in 6 = 'folk medicine' including remedies from the sea, mother's and grandmother's intuitive medicinal knowledge, kitchen medicines, herbal concoctions and treatments, Ayurveda, homeopathy, and naturopathy.

• Surya in 6 likes to be in the bright center of medical operations, often as a working physician.

• Budha in 6 likes to discuss, explain, instruct, and message about drugs and medical practice

• Shukra in 6 = Shukra and Addictions

Profession

• 9th from 10th + 10th from 9th

• Ari bhava = a professional placement, representing the highest order professions in the service ministries including medicine, law, divinity, and teaching

• 10th-from-9th = those who hold earthly power (10) based in religion (9)

• unfair and exploitive labor practices
• master-slave relationships
• broken contracts
• disparity, inequity
• class conflict

Medieval European serfs and their Divinely Authorized lord

the easiest situation = bhava-6 AND 6th-from-Chandra= unoccupied.

The more graha in bhava-6, the more agents who complain and criticize. If there are several graha in bhava-6, each graha will cause its own variety of illness, poverty, jealousy, and suspicion.

Bhava pati (house lords) which occupy bhava-6 will result in some variety of exploitationdue to disagreement Or imbalanced contract, that affects matters of the owned house.

E. g

• L-4 in bhava-6 shows disagreement over owned properties (trouble with deeds of title), and conflict with the institutions of cultural indoctrination and validation(difficulties re: schools, diplomas, professional licensing, etc.)

Papa graha (malefics) = may yield a positive result in dushthamsha. Even neechcha graha in dushthamsha can give truly excellent results, under the right circumstances.

• Papa graha = conflict and difficulty re: health, digestion, conflict, debt, etc, however they also assist problem-solving by providing a pragmatic, earthy approach toward negative realities of human life. the native does not deny the reality of suffering and exploitation. The hard-line realism, which is typical of a papa-graha in Ari Bhava, does not fear combat with the indicated debt, animosity or illness. Ironically, a papa-graha in Ripu Bhava often signals long-term success in a deeply imbalanced situation. (For example, physicians with success in treating chronic medical conditions.)

• Benefic graha in dushthamsha = the same conflict and difficulty re: health, digestion, conflict, debt, etc, but the problems are managed with tools of Overcompensation and cheerful denial.

Typically the native suffers a " Pollyanna" worldview characterized by inability to accept or interpret the harsher realities of human suffering. Mental illness through fabrication of excuses and physical illness through compensatory addictions will generally increase body toxicity. In certain evil configurations, may be an abuser of some sort who cheerfully ignores the harm one does to others.

Poverty - Usury

REJOICEMENT THERAPY

Pema Chodron

• No Time to Lose, page 146

When they bother us, we learn patience; when they're suffering, we learn loving-kindness and compassion.

No matter what reaction they evoke, we can relate to them in a way that leads to buddhahood.

Instead of buying into aversion, we become tolerant.

Instead of staying stuck in selfishness, we extend a hand to someone in distress.

Instead of letting jealousy sabotage us, we train in rejoicement therapy."

Gains

"All beings suffer in the same way as we do, and some are even more deeply immersed in sorrow.

Yet all of these beings wish to experience only happiness and to avoid all suffering, frustration, and pain. They wish lasting happiness but do not know how to cultivate its causes, and they wish to avoid misery but automatically collect only causes of further misery.

• As Shantideva said, "Although seeking happiness, they destroy their own causes of happiness as they would an enemy. And although seeking to avoid misery, they treat its causes as they would a close friend."

Were the countless sentient beings unrelated to us, or were they not to mind their sufferings, perhaps there would be no need for us to bother with their welfare.

• In reality, however, all are related to us and not one of them wishes to suffer.

Over the billions of lifetimes that we have experienced since beginningless time, we have known all the living beings again and again.

• Sometimes they have been parents to us, sometimes friends or mates, sometimes enemies.

• Without exception, each of them has been even a mother to us again and again, performing all the kindnesses of a mother.

• How can we be indifferent to them?

Wishing them to have only happiness and its causes and to be free of suffering and its causes, we ourselves should generate a sense of responsibility for their well-being.

Finally, as only an omniscient Enlightened One is effectively able to benefit beings in deep, lasting, and ultimate ways, we must quickly attain enlightenment. This is the wishing bodhimind, the inner basis of Mahayana practice.()

Ministry of Service

"Bodhicitta is the medicine which revives and gives life to every sentient being who even hears of it.

When you engage in fulfilling the needs of others, one's own needs are fulfilled as a by-product."

~~ H.H. Dalai Lama + Renuka Singh. (2002). The Path to Tranquility.

• Empowerment or victimization

• Dignity of one's belief system

• Leadership of universities, houses of worship, religious training centers.

• Contracts and Agreements with sanctuaries, ashrams, hospitals, monasteries, prisons

• Remedial Seva

The bad news about L-6

• Periods of the lord of Ari Bhava (L-6) are typically very stressful.

• Events triggered by Vimshottari periods of the L-6 include the breakdown of marital agreement (sometimes leading to litigation and divorce), physical imbalance (leading to disease conditions), and social conflict (on a large scale may include war, on a local scale includes exploitation and crime.)

• Every nativity has an L-6. Whichever graha = the L-6, the periods of that graha will be problematic during one's lifetime. Much depends on the disposition of the L-6 in terms of rashi, bhava, drishti, and angular relationship to the current mahadasha pati. However even the best graha becomes handicapped through loss of agreements (12th-from-7th) when that graha becomes the L-6.

• L-6 from lagna tends to bring physical-material disharmony. L-6 from Chandra brings psycho-emotional disharmony.

The good news about L-6

then one's servitude will be well-rewarded in some social, material, or spiritual form of payment,

yet the feeling of having been exploited is emotionally definitive

One suffers from the breakdown of contractual agreements, the loss of relationship integrity, and the feeling of having been unfairly accused, cheated or betrayed by the agent (L-6) of victimization and crime.

Each lagna has particular pre-programmed karma of inherent conflict + disappointment (6).
