The Moon in the Sixth House
Sutras 33-40-If the Moon is in the sixth, the native will be poor and of diseased body. In his 36th year native will develop illicit relations with a widow. If the Moon is associated with a malefic the native will indulge in sinful deeds. If the Moon is in conjunction with Rahu or Ketu the native will be bereft of wealth, he will have dangerous enemies, will be
Comments-The Moon if posited in the sixth will lose all her good significations and the evil effects will be aggravated if the Moon comes under malefic influences. The native will indulge in sinful and immoral deeds because the ‘sattvic’ qualities of the planet will be destroyed by malefic influences. The Moon is a watery planet, therefore under malefic influences watery places will become a source of danger for the native. If the Moon in the sixth is under benefic influences the native will enjoy good health.

Brihat Jataka-The person concerned will have many enemies, will have a delicate constitution and a dyspeptic appetite. His sexual passion will also be weak. He will be harsh in temperament and indolent in his work.
Phaldeepika-The native will be short lived and stupid. He will suffer from stomach ailments and will be defeated and humiliated by enemies.
Saravali-The native will suffer from stomach ailments. If the Moon is weak (waning), the native will be short lived.
Chamatkar Chintamani-The native will be opposed to king (Government) and will acquire fame by his own glorious deeds. He will conquer his enemies. He will not be devoted to his mother.
Note-Except for Chamatkar Chintamani all the above authorities seem to be in agreement with Bhrigu Sutras about the evil effects of the Moon when posited in the sixth house. The effects mentioned by Chamatkar Chintamani may be realised if the Moon is under substantial benefic influence and is exalted or in her own sign Cancer.
The Moon in the Seventh House
Sutras 41-46-If the Moon is in the seventh house the native will be soft spoken and will get a wife in his 32nd year. He will have some defect in his eyes and vttll be fond of women. He will have to undergo surgery caused by contacts with women. He will get favours from the king (Government). If the lord of the seventh is powerful he will have two wives. If the Moon is weak (waning), there will be loss of wife. If the Moon is full, or powerful or in his own sign, there will be only one wife and all comforts and luxuries will be available to him.
Comments-Our views are that a benefic Moon will give good effects in the seventh house. The marriage will be delayed only if there is some malefic influence on her. Also the other ill effects ascribed to the Moon will be felt if there is evil influence on the Moon. Moon being a royal planet, she enables the native to get fame from the Government. If the lord of the seventh is powerful the native will have the privilege and means to enjoy the company of two wives. A malefic Moon will cause loss of wife. If the Moon is full, exalted or in his own sign he will be a devoted husband and will therefore like to keep only one wife. Such Moon will also provide him with all comforts and luxuries.
Other Views
Brihat Jataka-The person concerned will be envious and will be exceedingly over head and ears in love.
Phaldeepika-The native and his wife will both be very good looking and will love each other.
Sarauali-The native will be good-looking, well behaved, happy and passionate. If the Moon be weak (waning), the native will be poor and will suffer from ill health.
Chamatkar Chintamani-The native will get all happiness from his wife. He will enjoy gains in inland trade and business. He will like sweet dishes. He will be very greedy. He will be so weak that he will get defeat from his enemies.
Note-The essence of the views expressed above seems to be that a benefic Moon will give good results and a malefic Moon will give bad results in regard to the significations of the seventh house. The view of Chamatkar Chintamani that Moon in the seventh will make the native greedy is not clear to us. The views given by Bhrigu Sutras are more detailed and to the point.
