When working positively, retrograde Mars in the sixth house of a horoscope can bless the native with good to great amount of professional success among many other good things where the type of success as well as the quantum of success depends on the type and strength of this benefic placement as well as on the overall tone of the horoscope of the native in question. When it comes to profession, this placement is very good at blessing the native with success in the fields like law and finance due to which many natives benefiting from this placement can become successful lawyers, bankers or other professionals dealing in different profiles related to the spheres of law and finances.

If benefic Rahu is also placed in the tenth house of this horoscope in the sign of Capricorn, the success achieved by this native may increase and he may practice in some higher court of law. However, if a benefic retrograde Mars is placed in the sixth house of a horoscope in the sign of Virgo, a combination of benefic Mercury and Rahu is placed in the tenth house, a combination of benefic Sun and Moon is placed in the ninth house and benefic Jupiter is placed in the first house of this horoscope, the native under the combined effect of all these benefic planets may become a judge in some higher court of law, after practicing for some years as a lawyer.
Some other natives blessed by this benefic influence may succeed in professional spheres like police, administration or politics as such benefic retrograde Mars in the sixth house of a horoscope is fully capable of blessing the native with a post of power and authority with government through these spheres. Accordingly some of these natives may choose to make a career choice in police force or in administrative services whereas some other natives may choose to engage in politics and they may achieve good amount of success through politics. The natives who become politicians by virtue of this influence are generally very good at judging the sentiment of the masses and they are also very good at cashing those sentiments.

Such retrograde Mars can render special abilities to the native under its influence, due to which he may find himself gifted in serving humanity either through medical profession or through social service. Though much is decided by the overall tone of the horoscope when it comes to making a choice of profession, the placement of such retrograde Mars in different ways can still give some indications about the type of professional sphere a native may choose.
For example, the placement of such retrograde Mars in the sixth house in the sign of Aries is more likely to make the native choose a professional sphere like police force or the medical profession whereas the presence of such benefic retrograde Mars in the sign of Virgo can make him choose a professional sphere like law or finance. Similarly, such benefic placement in the sign of Leo or Scorpio can make the native try his luck in politics and succeed through it whereas the same benefic placement of retrograde Mars in the sixth house in the sign of Pisces can make the native work for social causes. Such a native tends to work with social organizations towards the benefit of weaker sections of society and he usually does not seek many materialistic benefits for himself from all this practice. Hence even though benefic retrograde Mars in the sixth house of a horoscope can bless the native with good amount of success in profession, the amount of success as well as the line of profession is decided by various other factors in the horoscope of the native, some of which have been discussed in this example.
Retrograde Mars working positively in the sixth house can also bless the native with good health due to which many natives benefiting from this placement are generally very health conscious, they develop good eating habits and they also develop good discipline and regular exercise routines.

If there are some specific type of benefic planets present in the horoscope of one such native, he may not only himself be very healthy and fit, but he may also pursue a field of profession which deals with helping other people stay healthy and fit. Such native may become a gym trainer, a yoga instructor or any other such type of trainer or coach who helps other people have better health and better body.
On the other hand, malefic retrograde Mars placed in the sixth house of a horoscope can prove very difficult for the native having such placement as such malefic placement is very difficult to handle in most cases. Such malefic influence can trouble the native in his professional sphere due to which different natives suffering from this bad influence may witness different types of problems and troubles in their professional spheres depending on the type and strength of this malefic influence as well as depending on the overall tone of their horoscopes. Some natives under such bad influence may have to settle for low or very low paying jobs, which can make it difficult for them to make their ends meet. Such malefic placement can force the native to engage in hard physical labor in some cases and accordingly, the native suffering from this bad influence may have to earn his bread through jobs which are lowest paying and at the same time, they are physically some of the hardest ones to do.
Malefic retrograde Mars in the sixth house of a horoscope can also develop criminal tendencies in the native due to which the native under such bad influence may choose to engage in a life of crime in order to fulfill his desires. Such malefic influence in the horoscope of males can make them engage in crimes which belong to the category of financial frauds, smuggling, stealing, manipulating and other such crimes whereas the same bad influence in the horoscope of female natives can make them engage in professions like prostitution and financial frauds. Such natives usually pursue the life of crime for a long period of time in their lives due to which they may have to suffer losses and punishments, many times in their lives but even then, they may not be able to disengage from such life of crime and they may keep pursuing it. In extreme cases when such malefic retrograde Mars is strong and the overall horoscope is also negative, the native suffering from this placement may have to serve a long sentence in prison by virtue of a punishment imposed on him, for some serious crime committed by him.
For example, the presence of malefic retrograde Mars in the sixth house of a horoscope in the sign of Aquarius can render criminal tendencies to the native under its influence and if malefic Rahu is placed in the first house of this horoscope in the sign of Virgo, the native under the combined effect of these two malefic planets may engage in a life of crime. At the same time, if malefic Saturn is placed in the tenth house of this horoscope in the sign of Gemini, the native under the combined effect of these planets may become an even bigger criminal and the presence of malefic Sun in the sixth house of the same horoscope in the sign of Aquarius along with malefic retrograde Mars can add even more negativity to this equation.
As a result, the native under the combined effect of all these malefic planets may become a hardcore criminal and he may have to serve many years in prison by virtue of some serious crime committed by him. If malefic Mercury is placed in the third house of this horoscope in the sign of Scorpio when all other malefic planets are present in the already mentioned houses of this horoscope, the native under the combined effect of all these malefic planets may die young or very young, by virtue of a capital punishment imposed by a court of law, by virtue of a police encounter or by virtue of a planned attack on his life, unless there are some life saving combinations present in his horoscope.
Such malefic influence can also prove very bad for financial aspect of the native due to which some natives suffering from this bad placement of retrograde Mars may have to spend most of their lives in financial crisis and some of them may have to face financial debts which may keep following them throughout their lives. Some of these natives may not be able to pay their debts at all due to which they may have to face legal action from the debt providing agencies and accordingly, they may have to face various types of problems due to such legal actions. For example, some natives under such malefic influence may have to face loss of property which was kept as mortgage in security when they availed a financial loan and which may be forfeited by the loan providing agency due to non-payment of the loan.
