In addition to other unfavourable events and difficulties in the native’s life, the 6th House is referred to as the House of disease, sickness, etc. Check the 6th House, the ascendant lord, planets aspecting the 6th House, the power and position of the 6th House ruler, and more.

The state of the illness, how long it will continue to afflict the person, and its recovery are all represented by the sixth house. It also establishes a person’s resistance to illness and internal fortitude. It also controls the ability to muster the will to overcome obstacles and problems in life.

In addition to diseases, the 6th House also represents stepmothers, employees, pets, dress, and hygiene (abortion and childbirth in female horoscopes).

The planets and diseases in astrology as well as the planets and bodily parts in astrology are discussed below:

Sun Planet (Surya): The karaka of bones is the sun. Sun is the lord of the joints, skin, head, heart, right eye, and stomach. A weak Sun can cause a native to have severe mental illness and excessive temperature. Previous illnesses may recur during Sun’s dasha and antardasha.

Moon Planet (Chandra): The moon is the karaka of the heart and mind. It is in charge of the heart, brain, lungs, left eye, breast, blood, and all other bodily fluids. It can lead to a variety of blood-related issues, including asthma, loss of sleep, poor IQ, mental instability, and mental imbalance. Diabetes, menstruation, and respiratory illnesses are also caused by it.

Mars Planet (Mangal): It controls the body’s metabolism as well as the blood, bone marrow, veins in the neck, genitalia, and female organs. Also impacted are tumours and piles.

Mercury Planet (Budh): The karaka of the tongue, face, hair, nervous system, lungs, and the chest is Mercury. Mercury disorders or weak Mercury can lead to issues with the muscles, hair, nerves, and face. Weak Mercury is the root cause of serious illnesses like paralysis, ulcers, cholera, skin conditions, typhoid, and hair loss.

Jupiter Planet (Brihaspati): Jupiter is the karaka of the thighs, lungs, spleen, brain, liver, kidneys, and fat. Diabetes, pancreatic infections, and kidney infections are all caused by a weak Jupiter. Additionally, the spleen and thighs are injured. It is largely to blame for diabetes.

Venus Planet (Shukra): The karaka of the face, eyes, genitalia, glands and reproductive organs is Venus. Eye loss, fever, and several sexual illnesses are all possible during Venus’ dasha and antardasha.

Saturn Planet (Shani): The karaka of teeth, joints, bones, and hair is Saturn. Diseases associated to these organs can result from a weak Saturn in the horoscope. Injuries to the bones, joints, muscles, and eyes are caused by Saturn. It also controls paralysis and hair loss.

Rahu Planet: The karaka of the neck, legs, lungs, and respiratory system is Rahu. Asthma, cataracts and abrupt neck and limb injuries are all symptoms of a weak Rahu. Additionally, it is one of the planets that causes cancer.

Ketu Planet: The karaka of the lungs, joints, and abdomen is Ketu. Weak Ketu is the source of sudden fever or injuries to the stomach or abdomen. The ill Ketu is responsible for eye ailments (sight issues), stomach aches, and bodily weakness. It should be emphasised that a weak Ketu might induce enigmatic illnesses whose causes may not be obvious or may only become apparent quite late in the course of the illness.
