Surya-6 = at the center of conflict:

Central, radiant, attention-getting roles in war, accusations, argumentation, medicine, health treatments, poverty, pollution, divorce, exploitation, mother's relatives, ministries of service

• splendid placement for military, health-imbalance, litigation-accusation, and social conflict professionals

• Russia Pres. Vladimir Putin = security police, military + Shani govt

• USA-VP 2000-2008, USA Secy Defense, Iraq War Dick Cheney

Surya in a swabhava of Ravi's neutral Budha radiates detailed, descriptive, mentalized (Budha) personal charisma (Surya)in the ministerial service agencies of

• medicine and drugs, interior personal conflict and exterior social conflict, exploitation, servitude, divorce, accusations, litigation, pollution (social and chemical) loans and debt

creative, center-stage behaviors in roles such as:

• servant, arguer, physician and ill, druggist and drug-user, criminal and victim, jailer and jailed, accuser and accused, social-worker and social-problematic, litigator and litigated-against, exploiter and exploited, usurer and debtor

• the victim narrative of bhava-6 is bright and ego-central; one takes center-stage in the role of the wronged and disadvantaged, the exploited or unappreciated

• the most natural public location is the workplace. A servant-leader may be born here.

The universe seems to revolve around oneself when the native occupies the dramatic center of : core "problematics" in human life:

• conflict, war, medicine, illness, servitude, divorce

• ministries of service, all of the repeating problems of human life, inequity and disenfranchisement, dispossessed persons,

• victims of all varieties, divorce and litigation, exploitation, accusations and blaming, quarrels and arguments, enemies, debt, poverty,

• usury, imbalance and disease, conflict, crime,

• medicine, physicians, broken promises, status out-of-contract, children's wealth,

• mother's relatives, spouse-partner's fantasies and prayers, servants, animals

Whether more specialized toward medicine, loan-making, litigation or other types of exploitation depends upon rashi, drishti, and co-tenants of bhava-6.

• excellent placement for a clinical medical professional esp veterinarians and public welfare service providers ; also "human resources", employee management, and customer service

• Example: Samuel Hahnemann, founder of homeopathic medicine

Surya in Ari Bhava is a tricky position. Because graha in 6 have the karmic character of needing to engage in logical argumentation, litigation, accusations, and unresolvable "problematics", Surya-6 requires maturity and self-knowledge.

• One may shine the light of divine confidence and optimism upon the sorrows of the dispossessed.

• Or, one may be an arrogant exploiter who confidently preys upon the victims of ignorance, mental imbalance, and war.

With sufficient awareness of the impact which one's decisions and actions do have upon others, the native is well placed to serve. Most commentators opine that Surya in 6 is a good placement. However it is essential to curb the classic solipsism of any Surya placement; else one may incur resentment for ego inflation.

For example,

• the wealthy and privileged Mrs. Barbara Bush, the reputed absorber and harmonizer of that famous family's internal squabbles, famously incurred the wrath of the common people in her elder years. When asked about her concern for the Little People re: the impending war in Iraq, she responded, "Why should we hear about body bags and deaths?" she said. "Oh, I mean, it's not relevant. So why should I waste my beautiful mind on something like that?"

• http://www.snopes.com/politics/quotes/barbara.asp

• The default result of Surya-6 can be insensitivity to the plight of others who are suffering. Selfishness = the (often unrecognized)culprit contributing to animosity and illness in one's life. Matters of Surya's temporal house may suffer from imbalance and exploitation, to the point of jealousy and greed.

• However, at a higher consciousness, Surya may be a brilliant manager (not corrector) of problems related to expressions of creative intelligence, politics, theatre and entertainment, games, and performance art. Mrs. Bush was a notably effective manager of the political careers of her husband George H. W. Bush and her sons, president G W Bush and governor Jeb Bush.

• the native is beset by dramatic conflicts yet the outcome may favorable overall, particularly if Surya is an auspicious house lord (Mrs. Barbara Bush Ravi = L-9).

One finds a central position in the drama of service-based behaviors, matters of medicines, illness, military policing and war (General George Patton), exploitation, poverty and loans, argumentation, divorce, litigation, pollution, toxicity, disagreement, corruption, bribery, financial scandal.

Opportunistic, unsentimental; may confidently exploit others for personal gain. Malefic graha in dushthamsha have material benefits because they energize an interior narrative that argues for "problematicity" in the lives of victims.

One is aware (Surya, light) of the self-exploiting expectations of the victim-mind; one wastes no time in sentimental fantasies. Must be cautious of a tendency to dehumanize the labor of others, and some proclivity to view people as inhuman objects or calculable resources.

Of course each native will have plenty more graha in operation, so having Ravi in Bhava-6 is not the kiss of death or even a sign of involvement in crime.

Rather, the native 's intimacy with the divine is at a low ebb. They do not believe in prayer, except as a show of social conformity. Surya here rarely leads to real infamy, but the native acquires enemies through their gross selfishness and materialism. Aids wealth and wins lawsuits.

If in a friendly Rashi and in good planetary company, Surya in bhava-06 = an ethical and respected medical doctor, esp. the charismatic central personality of a medical practice.

Capable of handling emotionally painful or horrifying material because one is quite detached from it. Can be a gifted researchers of animal behaviors or human emotions; but if neutrality is excessive, can be dehumanizing and cruel.

Dignified malefics in Roga bhava are always good indicators of success in the clinical medical profession, with patients drawn from amongst all social classes but particularly the 'victim class' and the poor.

• One seeks praise and recognition for human services ministry, iconic servitude and exploitation (Katie Holmes) and for one's argumentative, problematizing skills ( B. V. Raman, Carl Sagan).

Depends largely on Ravi's house lordship. the native is predisposed to be exploited by males. May be pressed into service by husband, father, uncle, or grandfather.

Unfortunate for the health of father, brothers, uncles, male teachers. Cramps and the native 's own good fortune. Ego-identification with conflict, with problems, with arguments, with illness, with imbalances of all kinds. Self-righteously aggrieved.

Beneficial for career in health sciences or bank loans. Good for military, medicine, criminal law, work in clerical and human services professions.

One may feel victimized or wronged by the father or father-figure, by the male line in one's family, by moral authorities, by male servants, by the heart and spine in the physical body, by the right eye, or by ethical principles misapplied.

Tendency to misappropriate or steal items related to games, creative endeavors, glamorous or special-event costumes and other theatrical implements. May mis-spend speculative profits.

Pittaroga Yoga, #279 - B. V. Raman 300 Important Combinations

• "Definition: he sixth housemust be occupied by the Sun, in conjunction with a malefic, and further aspected by another malefic.

• Results:The subject suffers from bilious complaints."

Some tendency toward petty thievery due to bhava-6 = loss of social agreement. Surya may steal (often inadvertently or unintentionally) items for theatrical performance (settings, costumes); political items, demonstrations of individual genius and creativity, gamesand game-pieces, royal items.

Surya in dushthamsha (6, 8, 12) = unfortunate for the father, making him argumentative or confrontational by character and prone to blaming others for his own faults.

The father may be ill or be a physician, be indebted or be a loan-maker, be a victim of war or be a military officer.

• the father of Jyotishi B. V. Raman was handicapped by blindness and barely was able to care for himself; his wife died prematurely and for many years he suffered ailments and servitude

Father may be employed in the professional military (6), and if Surya is well placed his career in matters of war and conflict may be successful.

For a female, the men in her life primarily father but also husband and brothers, also male coworkers and boss, pick up some of the adversarial, warlike, inability to accept terms of contract or remain in a state of trust in relationships due to ego imbalance.

Exceptions which give good results for the father:

• father in a human services ministry such as social worker, religious pastor, medical doctor in clinical practice,

• Father engaged in any service rendered to those victims of poverty, disease, and animosity who are for karmic reasons unable to resolve internal arguments which lead to the chronic imbalance of 6.

• Criminal attorney, divorce attorney, specialties of broken contracts, professionalized conditions of suspicion and mistrust

Surya in Bhava 6

Malefic Surya thrives in dushthamsha 6, 8, and 12 so long as the identity participates in crime, war, medicine, conflict, accusations, pollution, exploitation (6) disasters and hidden resources (8) or sanctuary, prison, loss of identity (12).

Surya is also fairly well disposed in upachaya Bhava 3, 6, and 11 - again so long as the overall nativity supports one taking a central role in business administration or writing (3) imbalances (6) or networking (11).

Surya contributes to ego-ization and romanticization of one's own central role in regard to the conflicts and confrontations inherent in bhava-6.

While the mother's siblings may be problematic, Ravi-6 benefits the dramatization of social and physical chaos.

Splendid location for medical doctors, pharmacists, health care practitioners, social workers, and scientists dealing with pollution or crime.

The chronic social complaints - crime, disease, hatred, jealousy, poverty - may not disappear in the life of the native. Still, Surya-6 has an intelligent, charmingly dramatic approach to these perpetual evils.

Such earnest charisma often leads to a good career in medicine, criminal law, social work, military officer, or loan banking.

• B.V. Raman, Three Hundred Important Combinations 279. Pittaroga Yoga

"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."

"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.

The y 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."
