Sun, Mars and Venus in the 6th house: the reading
The Sun and Mars are well placed in the 6th house and Venus is strained there, so the Sun and Mars lead the trio here. Inside the trio, Sun and Mars do best here: Both malefics are at their best in the upachaya 6th: the native defeats enemies, wins disputes and litigation, and thrives in defence, surgery, police, sport or competition. Sun and Venus are the pair to watch: The Sun and Venus in the 6th house give success in service industries, hospitality, medicine or beauty and the defeat of enemies through charm, but Venus suffers in a dusthana: romance and marriage carry conflict, and combust Venus adds vanity in the workplace.
