How this calculator works

With whole-sign houses, as used in most Parashari practice and here, your 6th house is one whole sign counted from the Lagna. It is read through its sign, the planets in it, its lord and the aspects it receives.

An empty house is not a weak or missing area of life: it is read through its lord.

Calculated in your browser from the same chart as our free Kundli: sidereal zodiac, Lahiri ayanamsa, whole-sign houses, mean node. The numbers match our free Kundli exactly.

Background

The 6th house is the house of daily effort and the obstacles it meets: work and service, routines, health habits, debts, disputes, competition and enemies. Vedic astrology calls it ripu or shatru bhava, the house of enemies, and roga bhava, the house of illness. The Sixth House in Astrology: Work, Health, Service and Rivals →

Questions

How do I know the sign of my 6th house?

Count signs from your Lagna: the Lagna’s sign is the 1st house, the next sign the 2nd, and so on. The calculator does it for you from your birth time and place.

What if there are no planets in it?

Most charts have several empty houses. An empty house is read through its lord and the aspects it receives.

Why is the house different on another site?

We use whole-sign houses and the Lahiri ayanamsa. Other house systems (Placidus, KP) or a different birth time can change it.
