Mars in the 6th house of the solar return

Mars in the 6th house of the solar return gives the strength to beat competitors, cope with the workload and solve difficult tasks. It is a year when energy goes into work and overcoming obstacles.

The sixth house of the annual chart describes work, service, debts, rivals and health. Mars here is traditionally considered favourable: it helps win disputes, resolve long-standing problems and strengthen discipline. It is favourable for strength training and for professions that demand precision and endurance.

The workload may be intense and the pace exhausting. Minor injuries and inflammations are a reason to slow down rather than ignore the body's signals.

Strength of the placement in the annual chart

The sixth house is a house of growth, and the malefic Mars works for the person here. If it is strong in the solar return, rivals retreat; if it is afflicted, it is worth dosing the workload and avoiding unnecessary conflicts. It also matters whether Mars rules the lagna of the solar return or the house with the muntha: then its voice in the year is louder. The other factors of strength are collected in the overview of the varshaphala.
