Role of Dusthan Houses in Astrology
According to Brihat Parasara Hora Shastra 6, 8, and 12 houses are Dusthanas or Trika houses. These houses are evil with a negative role and have adverse implications for the chart.
The 6th house even though is an ‘Upachaya’ house is the house of debt, diseases and enemies.
Eighth house is the house of death, accidents, chronic diseases,thefts, suffering, humihation and obstacles.
The twelfth house relates to expenditure, destruction, loss and downfall.
Not only these houses are evil but lords of these also have the propensity to do evil. Malefics in these houses cause untold misery and are weaknesses of the chart.
The signification of a Bhava suffers if its lord is in 6, 8 or 12. Similarly lords of 6, 8 and 12th destroy the signification of house with which they combine or associate. For example if Lagna lord is in 6, 8 and 12 and is afflicted with the conjunction or aspect of malefics, health would suffer.
Similarly placement of lord of two i.e., lord of wealth in 8th, 6th or 12th is not auspicious and good for wealth. Same will be the result if lords of 6, 8, or 12 are in Lagna or 2nd house or for that matter in any house. This applies to all the houses
( NOTE: No Bhava should be treated as bad because all Bhavas are part of a divine scheme and have a certainfunction to perform. Sixth Bhava is good to achieve victory, eighth Bhava is important part of Moksha triangle and is goodfor awakening kundalini, and is also necessary for deep researches. Twelfth Bhava is essentialfor achieving Moksha or salvation. )
