Chandra + Brihaspati / Moon + Jupiter in the 6th House

Gajakesari Yoga · Ari / Shatru Bhava

In shortGajakesari in the 6th house is weakened but useful: the native serves with wisdom, heals or counsels, defeats enemies with generosity, and prospers through work rather than luck. Health needs care of the liver and weight; the mother may face illness.

Moon and Jupiter in the 6th house at a glance

When Chandra + Brihaspati (Moon + Jupiter) share a sign, a yuti, the chart fuses Moon’s the mind, emotions and nurturing instinct and Jupiter’s wisdom, growth and good fortune, and here all of it works through the 6th house (Ari / Shatru), the house of health, service, competition and the obstacles you overcome (Dusthana (difficult), Upachaya (growing); natural sign Virgo). This combination also forms the named Gajakesari Yoga (explained below).

Each graha in the 6th house

Brihaspati (Jupiter) in the 6th houseBenefic

A benefic in a dusthana: it wins litigation and defeats enemies through wisdom and suits law, medicine and service, but debts or health lessons arrive to teach.
