Sixth house is one important house related to employment.

Sixth house is one important house related to employment.

From 6th house [among other things] we can imagine/assess about "Karma-Indriyas" or "Five organs of action" as stated below.


Karma Indriyas (five organs of action)

Vak (organ of speech), Pani (hands), Pada (feet), Upashtam (organ of generation) and Payu (anus, the organ of excretion) are the five organs of action. The Karma Indriyas are the five soldiers. The commander-in-chief is the mind. The mind extracts work from these soldiers when it desires to get sensual objects for its gratification.


From 6th house [among other things] we can imagine/assess about Shadripu (Sanskrit: meaning the six enemies) as stated below.


The Shadripus have been listed as

Kama, krodha, lobha, moha, mada and matsarya - lust, anger, greed, illusion, pride and envy. These bind the soul to the process of birth and death and keep it confined in this material world (confines of maya or illusion). It (the 6th house and 6th lord ) also indicates " Shad Ripu [Six Enemies]" and those diseases that are due to one’s own reactions indicated by the shadripu. These are "Drishta roga" or "those ailments that can be identified in terms of visible, external or known causes".


We also judge standard of living from 6th house.

We judge " Karma-shakti" [ capacity/capability to do work] from 6th house.


Sixth house indicates “the purpose of our work; where is it's joy?”


This house influences our attitude towards the improvement of our own life and standard of living.


Sixth house shows the work and effort we must use up if we are to manifest the things we want.

TENTH House ( KARMA/WORK) is the ACTION between SELF ( 1st House) & ALL OTHERS ( 7th House).

SIXTH house ( being 9th) is the reason of TENTH ( KARMA/WORK) house & SECOND ( being 5th) is the result of the TENTH house.



Sixth house indicates “the purpose of our work; where is it's joy?” We judge " Karma-shakti" [ capacity/capability to do work] from 6th house, while TENTH house signifies our WORK in this life.



If 2nd house is damaged, the native will not get the rewards/fruits of his work and vice versa.



The triangle formed by 10, 6 & 2 is called " MONEY TRIANGLE" [ Artho Trikona]. This analysis is important to understand the employment/job/work potentiality of a person.

Even in Western astrology the 6th house is given some importance relative to employment, although the 10th is generally considered (in Western) the most important career or profession house; 6th (in Western) is usually considered for "typical" employment or "low level type" employment, the 10th for career and profession. For me, when (regarding employment, career, etc) there is a seeming conflict between indications in the 10th house and those in the 6th, I resort to the D10 varga, to obtain the clearest picture.
