Planets in houses · Dusthana
Chandra in the 6th house
Moon · Ripu Bhava
Chandra is the karaka (significator) of mind, mother, emotions and peace. The 6th house, called Ripu Bhava, shows enemies, debts, health and service. When Chandra sits here, these matters take on its colour.
In the 6th house a benefic is somewhat weakened; it helps one serve others and settle disputes kindly, but can bring small health or debt matters.
The 6th house is a dusthana (house of difficulty), so results here come through challenges and need conscious handling.
Chandra gives its best results here when it is exalted in Vrishabha, in its own sign (Karka) or in a friendly sign, and when it is not combust.
Results are weaker if Chandra is debilitated in Vrishchika, combust, or afflicted by malefics.
In transit (gochar)
When Chandra transits the 6th house counted from your Moon sign, the period is traditionally favourable.
A single placement is never read alone: sign, aspects, conjunctions, dasha and the whole chart change the outcome.
