• The Dushtana houses
Houses 6, 8 and 12 are the dushtana houses, or houses of suffering and difficulties.
The 3 rd house is also be considered as a dushtana, but with a milder effect (the 3 rd is the 8 th from the 8 th).
Those houses are adverse for the material prosperity and well being and planets placed in those houses and the houses they rule tend to suffer, be obstructed and be sources of pain in life.
The people or parts of the body that the planets placed on those houses represent, will tend to be a source of pain.
If the planets paced here are exalted or in own house it is actually beneficial and give the capacity to endure, or overcome pain and difficulties.
The 6 th house relates with obstacles, diseases, accidents, enemies, and debt.
The 8 th house relates with obstruction, death, darkness or depression.
The 12 th house relates to loss, separation, endings.
In spite of that, they are also important houses for spiritual growth and if they are strong and well disposed the represent the capacity to practice Yoga and liberate from pain.
