Mars in the 6th House unites with the energies of Virgo and its ruler Mercury. Virgo is the 6th zodiac sign which naturally represents the 6th astrological house by sharing common energies with it.
It is important to note that a favorably positioned Saturn and the 6th house lord carry an important role in amplifying the favorable effects or saving from negative results of ill-positioned Mars in the 6th house.
Saturn is related to the given house because it signifies subordinates, hard work, and discipline. The 6th house ruler becomes a guide to 6th house Mars which determines additional outcomes of the effects from this combination.
Additionally, the majority of results are determined by the zodiac sign in which Mars resides in the 6th house.
Mars, as a natural malefic, provides positive effects in the house of growth or Upachaya Bhava. It is primarily because natural malefic planets deliver the strength, courage, and endurance to withstand the energies of ever-growing houses and advance in the process.
