The lord of the 2nd house in the 6th house of the horoscope

“Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra” (chapter 26): “If the ruler of the 2nd bhava occupies the 6th bhava and is in conjunction with a benefic graha, then the native will receive wealth from his enemies; if it is with a malefic graha, then the native will have losses because of enemies and will have weak thighs”.

Comments: With all Lagnas general results will be observed, such as:

1. Theft (the 6th house) of money (the 2nd house);
2. The loss of valuable objects and things such as precious stones;
3. A lawsuit (the 6th house) over family property (the 2nd house);
4. The non-return of money lent out;
5. Obstacles (the 6th house) in obtaining wealth (the 2nd house);
6. Diseases (the 6th house) of the nose, the teeth or the face (the 2nd house);
7. Dangers from water for the wife, a decline in the wife’s strength during a journey or the like.

The placement of the ruler of the 2nd in the 6th house may give the following results:

• service is a value for the person
• income from work in the service sphere
• the state of health (the 6th house) is a value for the person
• wealth from adversaries
• a love of animals, especially domestic ones (the 6th house)

The lord of a house of artha in another house of artha — excellent for finances, but wealth comes slowly, after prolonged and repeated efforts, since this house is considered a dusthana. Earnings by means of the medical profession or work in the service sphere. Speech difficulties, which with effort may be overcome; foul language, poor nourishment, complications with the right eye, a limited imagination. (James Braha)

Such a person obtains money from competition with others or from unlawful activity, but may fall into debt, and suffer as a consequence of court proceedings. There may be strange habits in nourishment and cunning, insincere speech. They may have strong lust and suffer from thieves. (Tom Hopke)

Diseases of the rectum and the thighs, the acquisition of property by dishonest means, dubious and suspicious swindles, prosperity after the wedding. In conjunction with an unfavourable planet there is a likelihood of financial losses because of thefts and the intrigues of ill-wishers and subordinates; conjunction with a favourable planet grants material well-being. The person earns by rendering services or by a medical profession, and receives monetary benefit from confrontations, lawsuits, contests and games of chance. (Shri G.S. Agarwal)
