A Difficult Landlord
Guru as a tenant in the natural house of Brihaspati's enemy Budha will manifest the
Budha's natural sixth house is a place of lost cooperation and broken agreements, resulting in deprivation of balanced pleasures and constant argumentation in an environment of toxicity and conflict..
When expansive Guru enters the maha-dusthamsha, the native takes on the problems of this world with an attitude of optimism and faith. One feels a religious impulse to help solve the systematic conflicts that arise from historic human karma as it has developed in the Earth.
The native becomes a guru to the conflict-ridden, preaching the way to greater wisdom on subjects of interpersonal and inter-tribal conflict, as well as the toxic mental conditions of chronic inner arguing which produce poverty and disease.
The native's argumentation style is open-minded, philosophical, and inclusive
Over-Expansion in the House of Conflict
Unfortunately, Guru is not a boundaries expert. He operates on faith, and He does not easily accept limitations. Therefore, outside of His natural houses (9 & 12, or Sagittarius & Pisces), He tends to suffer from over-expansion in areas of human life which do not respond well to simple optimistic faith.
In the maha-dusthamsha, Guru tends to over-estimate His ability to "solve" large-scale and historic cycles of exploitation and chronic imbalance, through the application of faith and positive intention.
Thus an individual tries to tackle a global problem.
Guru's proper role is to offer wisdom teachings. When wisdom teachings are addressed to the audience of conflicted & inharmonious denizens of domain-6, Guru's faith will indeed increase good-will understanding toward criminals, predators, balance-disturbers, exploiters, and their victims.
But Guru tends not to recognize the limits of his tolerance-teaching role. In the house of a hostile landlord, Guru tends to get overly involved with the petty material details (Budha) of the specific conflicts - and this is where the native's health problems begin.
Benefits to career, intuition, speech & wealth
Guru casts drishti upon domain-10 (professional service/career) and domain-12 (intuitive sense of direction due to psychic intuition, dreams) and domain-2 (hoarded wealth & ancient ethno-cultural knowledge, speech & language). These areas all expand in the lives of those with Guru in domain-6.
If any graha occupy domains 10, 12, and 2, those graha will also benefit from the auspiciously tolerant and wise drishti of Lord Guru.
Marriage Debility
For Mithuna lagna and Kanya lagna, Guru in domain-6 drags the spousal character into the house of argumentative conflict. Thus, Guru-in-Ripu bhava is unfortunate for marriage, at least the first marriage.
Sustained Optimism in the Face of Conflict
Develops a service of broad-minded and optimistic argumentation.
Faithful and cheerful even amidst deep toxicity and conflict.
This optimistic native may go where angels fear to tread. However, one must be positively vigilant about covering the "blind spot" - which is the "hole in the aura" by which the problems of the world enter one's individual physical and psychic environment.
One must guard the personal mentality and the fleshly body from invasion by global and historic human-condition problems. Offer the teachings, guide, mentor, and uplift - but, when the teaching job is done, one must close the gates to anxiety and worry.
Health Issues, and Why
Without quite comprehending what is happening, Guru becomes over-involved in the contentious mentality of the these chronic human-condition arguments, and the conflict-dynamics of domain-6 begin to manifest in one's own body. Specifically, in the digestive system.
Seeking leverage against the onslaught of negative mentalization, the native ingests too much food and medicine. Thus, ill-health caused by pharmaceutical toxicity and a stressed-out, overloaded digestive system.
Complications due to psychological conflict regarding children, and fleshly overweight.
The strongest effects of fleshly overweight occur when Guru occupies a rashi of oral-pleasures Shukra. The native eats as a way of bringing Shukra's soothing pleasures into the high-conflict zone of domain-6. Thus, diseases of excessive food-pleasuring (Oprah Winfrey)
This position of Guru/6 is associated with an unusual number & complexity of health problems, all based in digestive disorders.
Abundance of Physicians, Pets, Livestock, and Servants
The native enjoys an abundance of pets. Served by optimistic, faithful employees in the workplace and good servants in the home. Blessings through charitable service and ministry to the downtrodden.
One enjoys an abundance of physicians, but this is not always a benefit in the house of iatrogenic disease!
Gains from providing medical care to the underserved, yet one should personally avoid most medicines. Some benefit from nature cures, vitamin therapy, ayurvedic attention to a balanced diet. However most tangible benefit will come from boundary management and calming the scale of inner mental argumentation.
A Ministry of Service
Conflicted with priests, false guru's, and ritualized religion. Religious person, but view is more philosophical than ceremonial. If Guru is strong, broad & tolerant perspective on the chronic problems of the lower classes. Natural willingness to engage in service to those suffering from life imbalances. Can show the way out of darkness to those whose lives are locked in the struggle to achieve decency through balanced life practices and equitable social agreements.
One feels a priestly calling to protect Earth's natural environment from pollution & exploitation. Advocates for toxic cleanup and wiser lifestyle practices. Lives in both the city & the country. In 11th-from-8th, Guru gives profits from confidential information; catastrophic changes; detective work; & revealing of hidden truths.
Worshipped by the service class, protector of pets and livestock, profits and joy from animal breeding. Using loan money, makes profitable investments. Greatest prosperity flows from a ministry of service.
Quotation on effects of Brihaspati in occupation of the sixth rashi bhava, from the writings of Das Goravani
"... renown & good finances, but your personal life has some turmoil & married life may be difficult. You may spend more than you make. You attend social functions that expands prestige and circle of friends. While you gain popularity & status, a sense of inferiority may bother you.
You like music & dancing. At times you feel defeated & some considerable disease has to be tolerated. You get support from brothers & sons. When ill, you are well taken care of & has a knack of showing others comfort in their time of need. In other words, you thrive when things are bad.
You can be a good healer or helper of others & you do better by serving others than through independence. Goodness comes to you through religion & philanthropy. Likes pets. You should watch out for irregular food habits as that might be the cause of health degradation.
You promote community spirit & reduce crime. You are a good fighter who is proud of your competitive abilities. It's very hard to win in most competitions against you. You should not expect others to live up to your abilities to serve and work hard."
