Moon and Mars in the 6th house at a glance
When Chandra + Mangala (Moon + Mars) share a sign, a yuti, the chart fuses Moon’s the mind, emotions and nurturing instinct and Mars’s energy, courage and the drive to act, 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 Chandra-Mangal Yoga (explained below).
Each graha in the 6th house
Chandra (Moon) in the 6th houseBenefic (waxing) / Malefic (waning)
The mind pays a price: worry, emotional stress and digestive or health sensitivity; capable in service and healing, but peace is hard-won.
Mangala (Mars) in the 6th houseMalefic
A warrior against enemies, debts and disease: excellent for competition, the military, police, surgery and winning litigation; Mars loves this Upachaya house.
Where each is strong or weak by sign:
| Graha | Nature | Own sign | Exalted (uchcha) | Debilitated (neecha) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chandra (Moon) | Benefic (waxing) / Malefic (waning) | Cancer | Taurus | Scorpio |
| Mangala (Mars) | Malefic | Aries, Scorpio | Capricorn | Cancer |
