When Sun or the lord of the ninth house is placed in the sixth house of a horoscope and it is afflicted by a malefic planet which is also placed in the sixth house, Pitra Dosh is formed in the sixth house of such horoscope. Pitra Dosh in the sixth house can cause many types of problems for the native under its impact, depending on its strength and on the overall horoscope of the native.
Pitra Dosh formed in the sixth house can trouble the natives with health problems due to which these natives may suffer from a variety of health issues, depending on their overall horoscopes. If such Pitra Dosh is strong and it is supported by other malefic planets in a horoscope, the native under its impact may suffer from a permanent type of disease which may trouble him till the end of his life and which may also reduce his lifespan. In an extreme case of this type when such Pitra Dosh is strong and it is supported by other malefic planets of a specific type in a horoscope, the native may get afflicted with a fatal disease which may kill him at a young age, unless there is a strong life saving planet in his horoscope.
Considering an example, if Pitra Dosh is formed due to the presence of malefic Ketu in the sixth house of a horoscope in the sign of Gemini along with Sun, malefic Rahu is placed in the twelfth house of this horoscope in the sign of Sagittarius and malefic retrograde Mars is placed in the third house of this horoscope in the sign of Pisces, the native may face health problems. The native under the combined effect of such Pitra Dosh and other malefic planets may get afflicted by a permanent and serious type of disease which may cause him much pain and which may claim his life any time after his age of 48.
At the same time, if Mercury is also placed in the sixth house of this horoscope in the sign of Gemini along with malefic Ketu and Sun; and malefic Jupiter is placed in the third house of this horoscope in the sign of Pisces along with malefic retrograde Mars; the equation may become much more negative. The native troubled by such Pitra Dosh and other malefic planets may get afflicted by a fatal disease like some type of cancer and he may die at a young age, by virtue of such disease, unless there is a strong life saving planet in his horoscope. For instance, the presence of benefic Saturn in the first house of this horoscope in the sign of Capricorn can increase the lifespan of this native, whereas the presence of malefic Saturn in the twelfth house of this horoscope in the sign of Sagittarius along with malefic Rahu may further reduce the lifespan of this native suffering from such Pitra Dosh and other malefic planets mentioned in this example.
Some other natives under the malefic impact of such Pitra Dosh may witness health problems and diseases which may be psychological in nature and they may have to suffer due to such problems. The quantum of the sufferings of a native of this type depends on the strength of such Pitra Dosh as well as on the overall tone of the horoscope of this native. In an extreme case of its type when such Pitra Dosh is strong and it is supported by other malefic planets of a specific type in a horoscope, the native may go completely insane and he may have to spend many years of his life in a mental asylum.
For example, if Pitra Dosh is formed due to the presence of malefic retrograde exalted Venus and Sun in the sixth house of a horoscope in the sign of Pisces and malefic debilitated Jupiter is placed in the fourth house of this horoscope in the sign of Capricorn, the native may face problems. The native troubled by such Pitra Dosh and other malefic planets may suffer from a mental disorder of significant quantum and he may have to undergo prolonged medical treatment in order to recover from it. At the same time, if debilitated Mercury is placed in the sixth house of this horoscope in the sign of Pisces along with malefic retrograde exalted Venus and Sun; and malefic Moon also joins this combination in the sixth house of this horoscope, the problem may intensify. The native under the joint impact of such Pitra Dosh and other malefic planets may suffer from a serious mental disorder and he may have to spend many years in a mental asylum in order to get such disease treated.
Pitra Dosh in the sixth house can also trouble the natives under its impact on account of problems related to court cases, litigations and other such problems, where the quantum of such problems depends on the overall tone of the horoscopes of these natives. Some natives troubled by such Pitra Dosh may have to face losses through court cases related to their professional sphere, whereas some other natives of this type may take such losses through the court cases related to their marriages, like divorce settlements.

The malefic influence of such Pitra Dosh can also create criminal tendencies in some natives under its impact and such natives may actively engage in various types of crimes, if other negative planets of a specific type get added to their horoscopes. The types of crimes committed by a native of this type and the quantum of punishment suffered by such native depend on the strength of such Pitra Dosh, as well as on the overall tone of the horoscope of the native. In an extreme case of this type when such Pitra Dosh is strong and it is supported by other malefic planets of a specific type in a horoscope, the native may suffer from life imprisonment or even from a death penalty, by virtue of being convicted for a very serious type of crime committed by him.
The presence of this type of Pitra Dosh can also create problems in the marriages of some natives due to which such natives may suffer from a number of issues in their marriages, depending on their overall horoscopes. It should be noted that such Pitra Dosh generally doesn’t delay the marriages of the natives under its impact on its own and it draws its pleasure by destroying their marriages. Pitra Dosh of medium strength present in the sixth house of a horoscope can easily break one marriage of the native and it can also cause problems in the second marriage of the native, if it receives support from other malefic planets in such horoscope. In an extreme case of this type when such Pitra Dosh is strong and it is supported by other malefic planets of a specific type in a horoscope, the native under its impact may have to face two or even three broken marriages, unless there is a strong marriage saving planet in his horoscope.
