Debilitated Venus in Sixth House
When debilitated Venus is placed in the sixth house in a horoscope, Aries rises in the ascendant. Debilitated Venus is benefic in the sixth house in many cases though it may turn malefic in some cases. This may happen when Venus 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, Venus may become more malefic.
Since Venus is weak due to debilitation, it may become easy for malefic planets to add negativity to Venus. If debilitated Venus 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 Venus 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 Venus in the sixth house when it is benefic. Such benefic debilitated Venus can bless the native with good results related to profession, finances, reputation, authority, marriage, husband, wife, family, wealth and several other benefits, depending on his overall horoscope.
Such benefic debilitated Venus can help the native achieve success as a doctor, engineer, scientist, researcher, banker, financial analyst, software developer, IT professional, computer programmer, lawyer, judge, police officer, army officer, revenue officer, administrative officer, astrologer, tantric, healer, spiritual guru or some other type of professional, depending on his overall horoscope and running times.
Taking an example, suppose benefic debilitated Venus is placed in the sixth house of a horoscope in Virgo with benefic Saturn. Exalted Mars is placed in the tenth house in Capricorn, benefic debilitated Rahu is placed in the eighth house in Scorpio, debilitated Ketu is placed in the second house in Taurus, Mercury is placed in the fourth house in Cancer and Jupiter is placed in the eleventh house in Aquarius. In this case, the native may engage in medical field. He may become a doctor, he may possess good knowledge of his field and he may come across success, money and recognition. The native may engage in private practice and he may also work with a private hospital.
If benefic Sun is placed in the fourth house in Cancer with Mercury, and benefic Moon is placed in the fifth house in Leo, the equation may become better. In this case, the native may possess very good knowledge of his field and he may come across a lot of success, money and recognition. The native may be a specialist cardiologist or gastroenterologist, depending on the finer factors and running times. He may witness good results after the age of 35, better results after 45 and even better results after 50. If the finer factors and running times are supportive, the native may start his own hospital after the age of 45 or 50, and he may witness very good results through it.
Taking another example, suppose benefic debilitated Venus is placed in the sixth house of a horoscope in Virgo with benefic Sun. Mercury is placed in the seventh house in Libra with Ketu, exalted Mars is placed in the tenth house in Capricorn, benefic Rahu is placed in the first house in Aries and Saturn is placed in the eighth house in Scorpio.

Apart from these, benefic debilitated Venus in the sixth house of horoscope can bless the native with several other good results, depending on his overall horoscope.
On the other hand, malefic debilitated Venus in the sixth house of horoscope can trouble the native with problems related to marriage, husband, wife, family, profession, finances, reputation and several other problems, depending on his overall horoscope and running times.
Such debilitated Venus can trouble the native with delay in marriage, disturbances in marriage/marriages and/or it can break one or more marriages of the native, depending on his overall horoscope and running times. This placement is more troublesome for male natives than female natives. Venus rules the seventh house in this case, and hence it represents marriage and wife/husband for both males and females, in horoscopes with Aries ascendant. Venus is the general signifier of marriage and wife for males whereas Jupiter is the general signifier of marriage and husband for females. It means that Venus is the general as well as specific signifier of marriage and wife for male natives, in this case. Since it is debilitated and it is placed in a difficult house, it can cause serious problems related to marriage.

Neechbhang Rajyoga may not be formed in this case, since Mercury is malefic. Suppose benefic Sun is placed in the fifth house in Leo, Saturn is placed in the fourth house in Cancer, Mars is placed in the eighth house in Scorpio and benefic Moon is placed in the first house in Aries. In this case, the native may witness delay in marriage and he may not get married till the age of 35 or 40. He may witness one or more failed love affairs which may not convert into marriage.
If malefic Rahu is placed in the first house in Aries, and malefic Ketu is placed in the seventh house in Libra with Jupiter, the equation may become more troublesome. In this case, the native may not get married till the age of 40 or 45, or he may not get married throughout his life. The native may witness one or more long lasting love affairs and/or live-in relationships. However, none of them may convert into marriage and the native may remain single for his entire life.
Apart from these, malefic debilitated Venus in the sixth house of horoscope can trouble the native with several other problems, depending on his overall horoscope and running times.
