Definition.–:The 6th house must be occupied by the Sun in conjunction with a malefic and aspected by another malefic.
Results.-The subject suffers from bilious complaints.
Remarks.-According to Ayurveda, the entire psychological activities of the body are controlled and brought about by three important forces or
basic factors called thridoshas. They are Vatha (wind), Pitta (bile) and Sleshma (phlegm). pitta is said to be responsible for metabolic activitjes. The thridoshas when excited or disturbed are said to cause diseases. Each dosha has got its own attributes. For instance, the attributes of pitta are heat, keenness lightness and slight oiliness. When there is excitement of pitta, the effects are burning, warmth, suppuration gangrenous ulcerations secretions and redness of complexion. When there is pitttavriddhi
(increase of bile), there will be disposition to jaundice, sleeplessness and increase of hunger. Pittakshayarn (decrease of bile) gives rise to colic
troubles. I would refer the reader to standard works of Ayurveda for greater details. The Sun’s position in the 6th by itself is good. When the Sun is in the house of diseases, joined and aspected by malefics, the native’s health will not be good and he will always suffer from one complaint or the other due to excitement of pitta or bile.
