Sun, Venus and Saturn in the 6th house: the reading
The Sun and Saturn are well placed in the 6th house and Venus is strained there, so the Sun and Saturn lead the trio here. Inside the trio, Sun and Saturn do best here: The enemies improve together in the upachaya 6th: the native works hard in service, endures competition and defeats enemies by outlasting them. 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.
When it works

- Success in labour, law or administration
What needs care
- Conflict in love and marriage
- Venereal or urinary complaints
