Debilitated Mars in Sixth House
When debilitated Mars is placed in the sixth house in a horoscope, Aquarius rises in the ascendant. Debilitated Mars is benefic in the sixth house in many cases though it may turn malefic in some cases. This may happen when Mars is afflicted by malefic planets, such as through conjunction and/or aspects. As the number of malefic planets and the strengths of such planets increase, Mars may become more malefic.
Since Mars is weak due to debilitation, it may become easy for malefic planets to add negativity to Mars. If debilitated Mars is afflicted by one or more than one malefic planet in the sixth house, it may turn significantly or highly malefic. Apart from that, the overall theme of horoscope having such debilitated Mars can also turn it malefic in some cases, when such theme is malefic. The concept of benefic planets turning malefic due to influences of malefic planets has been explained in Manglik Dosh section of the book ‘Match Making and Manglik Dosh (Revised Edition)’.
Let’s look at some results which may be given by debilitated Mars in the sixth house when it is benefic. Such benefic debilitated Mars can bless the native with good results related to profession, finances, reputation, authority, health and several other good results, depending on his overall horoscope and running times.

Taking an example, suppose benefic debilitated Mars is placed in the sixth house of a horoscope in Cancer with benefic exalted Jupiter. Benefic Jupiter may cancel the debilitation status of Mars and Neechbhang Rajyoga may be formed in the horoscope. Suppose benefic Sun is placed in the second house in Pisces, Mercury is placed in the third house in Aries, benefic Rahu is placed in the tenth house in Scorpio and benefic Ketu is placed in the fourth house in Taurus. In this case, the native may become an astrologer or doctor, depending on his overall horoscope and running times. He may come across good amount of success, recognition and money through medical field or astrology.
Looking at a variation, suppose benefic exalted Venus is placed in the second house in Pisces with Sun, Saturn is placed in the fourth house in Taurus with Ketu, and Moon is placed in the eleventh house in Sagittarius. In this case, the native may become an astrologer. He may engage in astrology after the age of 30, he may possess good knowledge and he may come across very good amount of success, recognition and money as an astrologer. The native may witness good results after the age of 35, better results after 40 and very good results after 50.
Looking at another variation, suppose the recent placements of Venus, Saturn and Moon are annulled. Suppose benefic Venus is placed in the third house in Aries with Mercury, Saturn is placed in the eighth house in Virgo and Moon is placed in the seventh house in Leo. In this case, the native may become a doctor. He may possess very good knowledge of his field and he may come across a lot of success, money and recognition as a doctor. The native may get married to a woman who may also be a doctor. The couple may start their own hospital after native’s age of 35 or 40, and they may witness very good results through it.

Malefic Rahu is placed in the twelfth house in Capricorn, Saturn is placed in the tenth house in Scorpio, debilitated Sun is placed in the ninth house in Libra, and debilitated Venus is placed in the eighth house in Virgo.
