Sun, Mercury and Jupiter in the 6th house at a glance
When Surya + Budha + Brihaspati (Sun + Mercury + Jupiter) share a sign, a yuti, the chart fuses Sun’s the soul, authority and vital life-force, Mercury’s intellect, speech and commerce 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).
Each graha in the 6th house
Surya (Sun) in the 6th houseMalefic
One of its finest seats: it defeats enemies, wins litigation and competition, and thrives in government service; the Sun is a champion in this Upachaya house.
Budha (Mercury) in the 6th houseNeutral
Sharp analytical and problem-solving power suited to service, accounts or medicine, but an anxious, over-thinking mind and nervous tension.
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.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Surya (Sun) | Malefic | Leo | Aries | Libra |
