There are other indicative factors are to be referred to, while considering the sixth house from Lagna They are as follows.

Sixth house is considered as one of the four malefic positions for Lagna Rasi and Chandra Lagna.

Malefic planets in sixth house from lagna give ability and strength to meet enemies strongly, while this could end up in struggle for life. When the owner of the sixth, eighth, and eleventh houses with Ketu, and the Planets with them as well as owners of these houses, may cause accidents and injuries in their sub periods in a main Desa period. If Saturn is the owner of sixth house and /or Rahu being deposited in the sixth house and in aspect from Saturn could cause anxiety due to acute illness during the respective sub periods.

The sixth house with Saturn and/or Rahu and/or the Sun could cause prolonged illness as the Sun is the karaka for Doctor and health. At this, one has to consider the occupation, ownership, and aspect of third eleventh houses of one of these planets to cause ailments in arms of the person as third house represents the right arm, and the eleventh, the left arm under ‘ Kalapurusha’ rules. Another reference is available that, if the occupant planet in 3 house is more powerful than the occupant of the eleventh house, the person would be right - handed and vice-versa for being left handed!

The condition of the 6^th house will affect work habits, litigation, obstacles, health and propensity of serving and helping others. This house relates to cousins, nieces, nephews, aunts, and uncles, as well as employees and colleagues. This house also refers to ‘open enemies’ to encompass disagreements in work /professional level, opposing parties in a lawsuit, and even spouse or friend with whom one does not see eye to eye. This house also signifies the type of illness or vulnerable part of the anatomy in relation to the 1^st house of the chart. The ‘Karakas’ of the sixth house are Saturn - since it is associated with work and discipline, and Mars as ruler of arguments and adversaries.

If the sixth and tenth houses are connected , or their owners are ‘friendly’ and the owner of the sixth house is powerful (if in his own house/ in his ‘uchcha’ sthana/ in aspect by its friendly and or benefic planets/ in a favorable house), the native follows his father’s profession. (This very important observation could be made with reference to Sixth house from Lagna Rasi/ Chandra Lagna on many other considerations to this result). The inevitable choice of vocation (service or profession) against desire of a person will have do for earning, (including works in grave yards, cleaning and maintaining areas of litters, serving in public rest rooms, and similar positions, etc.)

Referring to this house for ‘weapons) with reference to third and eleventh house of the chart, it shall be indicative of the fact that the native wield weapons (including sharp edged instruments) as professional criminals, uniformed forces (Army, Navy and Air force, police and allied units) as also a surgeon or doctor (dentist, ophthalmologist, gynecologist or neurologist etc).

(I will briefly refer, how to find a native will be a doctor, criminal or a member of uniformed force)

a. If the eighth or the twelfth house is in any way related under rules, 6^th, 3^rd and 11^th house (and has NO beneficial influence from the position occupation and ‘drushty’ from other Planets in the chart) that person may use weapons causing death or loss to others - a criminal.

b. If the relationship of the two houses (6^th and 3^rd houses) does not involve the 8^th or 12^th house, or if one of these two houses involved, the relationship has powerful beneficial influence, the native could wield weapons for a good cause and could be in a uniformed service.

c. When the combination mentioned above in (b) also involves the Sun, Saturn and Rahu, (or at least two of the three Planets now mentioned) the native will wield weapons for causes connected with health and disease - perhaps be a doctor or surgeon.

d. As also, if the owner of the sixth house or Mars is more powerful in the chart than the above stated Three Planets, and Mars is involved in the combination , the native will surely be a surgeon or a physician. While it is so, the significator for education, Jupiter, in that chart must be strong, well positioned to give adequate education for being a doctor. These will culminate to fructification during the favorable Desa periods, with helpful sub periods, while Mercury could also support the strength of referred planets. If they are weak in these combinations as above and Jupiter fails to add favorably, then he may become a wild person with unpleasant mental status.
