Saturn in 6th House

The sixth house of the horoscope represents conflicts, litigations, daily routine, maternal uncle, subordinates, illnesses, stomach, intestines, obstacles, debts, difficulties and enemies. And most importantly it represents our Prarabhad karma. Prarabhad is that part of the Sanchit (Accumulated karma of all lifes) karma, that we have agreed to mitigate in this birth. Sixth house is also 10th from our ninth house of luck and 9th from our tenth house of karma. This shows that the 6th house is a very important house of the horoscope. When Shani dev is sitting in the 6th house, the native behaves like Pandu. Pandu was the father of the Pandavas (five brothers who fought the war of Kurukshetra) as mentioned in the Mahabharata epic. Native may face health issues. They have low resistance to diseases, tired and weak constitution. Shani dev will weaken the recuperating power of the individual. They should avoid too much tension and worries, as they are prone to depression. Shani dev represents masses and labour. Native with this placement are good at dealing with the lower strata of the society. Native can face jealousy from colleagues.

Story of Pandu - Pandu was the prince of the Kuru kingdom. He was the younger brother of Dhritarashtra. When there was a succession crisis in Hastinapur. Rishi Vyasa was requested to impregnate Ambika and Ambalika, the two queens. When Ved Vyasa approached Ambalika, she was frightened by his scary appearance; she had become pale in disgust; hence, her son was born pale. It was predicted by the sage, that as she had turned pale, her child would face poor health. He had a weak constitution and faced many health challenges. He was an excellent archer and warrior. He expanded the kingdom of Hastinapur beyond its borders. Despite being the younger brother, Pandu was given the throne because of the blindness of his elder brother Dhritarashtra. There was always a sense of resentment and jealousy in Dhritarashtra’s mind against Pandu. He had two wives, Kunti and Madri. Due to a curse from a sage Kindama, Pandu led a life of a celibate. He died, when overcome by lust, he tried to consummate his marriage to his wife, Madri.
