BENEFIC PLANETS IN THE SIXTH

HOUSE FROM ARUDHA LAGNA

CALCULATING ARUDHA LAGNA

Counting the number of signs from the lord of Lagna as it has gained from Lagna we
arrive at the Arudha Lagna. For example, if the lord of Lagna is in the third house,
counting three signs from the third house, we arrive at the fifth house that becomes the
Arudha Lagna. There are two riders to this firstly, if the Arudha Lagna is in the Lagna
itself (i.e. the Lagna lord is in the first or seventh house). The tenth house should be
treated as the Arudha Lagna. Secondly, if the Arudha Lagna is in the seventh house
(i.e. the lord of Lagna is placed in the fourth and tenth house), then the fourth house
should be treated as the Arudha Lagna. The Arudha Lagna plays a vital role in
determining our states/job in this material world.

SIXTH HOUSE FROM ARUDHA LAGNA

The standard text like Brihat Parasara Hora Shastra, Jaimini sutras etc states
that malefic planets in the third and sixth house give courage and consequential
employment in the army etc. 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. A number of
situations can arise by the placements of planets in the sixth house from Arudha
Lagna. These are as follows: -

Single Planet in the Sixth House from AL

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.

CHART 1: MALE BORN ON NOVEMBER 12, 1934 AT CUTTACK

 In chart 1, the Arudha Lagna is in Pisces with a single malefic in the sixth house.
The native is very brave and is known for his prowess in court cases. He hails
from a very poor family and during the vimsottari dasa of mars, inspite of a
severe bout of small pox, stood second in the board exams there by qualifying for
a state scholarship. He got admission into BITS, Pilani and became an electrical
engineer. Later in Rahu dasa Mars antardasa, he attained a very high position in
the private sector, but left the job with advent of Jupiter antardasa. Again in
Jupiter dasa Mars antardasa he became the rising star in business and industry
to crash subsequently in Jupiter-Rahu period, when allegation of financial
irregularity were made against him. Thus, a natural malefic like Mars in the sixth
house from Arudha Lagna gives very good results in the material word. Similarly,
a natural benefic in the sixth house from Arudha Lagna gives spiritualism,
renunciation and practice of ahimsa.

Two or more Planets in the Sixth House from AL

Only Benefic Planets in the Sixth House from AL

Two powerful benefic in the sixth house from AL. especially Jupiter, Mercury or
Venus can cause powerful pravrajya yoga (renunciation) especially if they are
very strong like being in exaltation in Rasi/Navamsa.

CHART 2. SRILA PRABHUPADA. In CHART 2 (SRILA PRABHUPADA) Arudha

Lagna is in arise and two powerful benefics Mercury and Venus are in the sixth
house from it. Since Mercury is exalted pravrajya yoga is indicated and exactly as
ordained by the stars in Mercury dasa Venus antardasa he attained complete
sanyas (renunciation). Mercury being the lord of sixth dispositing the pravrajya
yoga shows attachment to Sri Krishna and hence, Venus in debility with Mercury
shows Sri Radha. Since these planets are in the tenth house from Lagna, they
have given him undying fame in the form of the Vaishnav movement ISKCON.
In CHART 3 (SWAMI VIVEKANAND) The Arudha Lagna is in Leo with Mercury and
Venus in the sixth house. Venus is placed in exaltation in the Navamsa. Thus,
pravrajya yoga as indicated by the stars occurred and since Saturn is the lord of
the sixth dispositing the pravrajya yoga, indicates the attachment to Sri Kali, the
divine mother.

Both Benefic and Malefic Planets in the Sixth House from AL

While only benefics in the sixth give pravrajya yoga, benefics present
deny the same and give success in battles. When both benefic and
malefic planets are present, mixed influences prevail and the native is
churned between the materialistic world and spiritualism. If the benefic
planet is not only afflicted by a malefic, but is also weak by being in
debility in Rasi/Navamsa, a powerful Vipareeta Rajyoga in generated.

In CHART 5 (Shri NAVEEN PATNAIK, Cab. Minister of India). The planets

Mercury, Jupiter and Mars conjoin in the sixth house from Arudha Lagna.
Exactly like the horoscope of Mr. Tony Blair, both Mercury and Jupiter are not
only afflicted by Mars, but are also placed in debilitated Navamsa, thereby
attaining the ability to give a powerful Rajyoga. Simultaneously Saturn in also
placed in Lagna in Cancer showing the potential for very high political offices.
During Saturn dasa Jupiter antardasa, he suddenly rose to became a cabinet
minister is the Government of India. The dasa of Mercury is to commence
from early 2000 AD and it is expected that he will become the Chief Minister
of Orissa.
