Meghan - 6th House
Here’s the sixth installment of “The Meghan Project”. It’s right on word target, but please still let me know what you think is most interesting … (Don’t forget to use the glossary if there are terms that are unfamiliar).
6 6th House
The 6th house represents health, enemies, obstacles, debts and daily routines. The prosperity of the 6th House is being supported by the houselord being young, in an angle, with a benefic and a rasi aspect from Venus. However the houselord is also defeated in planetary war, asleep, not aspecting its own house, with Saturn and an inauspicious houselord. These mixed indications forecast mixed success for this house.
6.1 Person’s Life Experience
Meghan is not known to have any health conditions and has made many quotes about the importance of wellness and lifestyle. She is also not known to be in debt, although the recent change in her royal status could bring financial issues see Section 4.5.2. If there are any enemies in Meghan’s life, her older sister seems to be the most vocal (Windle 2019).
6.2 Sign
The sixth house is taking place in Sagittarius. Sagittarius is a masculine, fire sign. It is a mutable sign and is sattvic. Meghan’s diet and lifestyle prioritises a sattvic approach including veganism and green juices instead of coffee. (Harper's Bazaar 2018) She practices yoga (by candlelight when possible (bloomandpark.com 2018)) both of which are a nod to Sagittarius (spiritual, sattvic, fire sign).
6.3 Planet
Jupiter rules the 6th house. Jupiter is gentle, expansive and optimistic. It is moist, kaphic, sattvic, sweet and has the ether and fire elements. It is a karaka for grace, forgiveness, the law, counselling, theology, creativity, children and the husband.
Jupiter is in neutral dignity in the chart. In the D9 and D10 charts, Jupiter is moolatrikona in Sagittarius and this may explain why her health routine and wellness lifestyle are elements of her life that a meaningful to her and for which she is well known. Her pursuit of a healthy diet and yoga match Jupiter’s sattvic quality.
Jupiter is the weakest planet in shad bala in this chart just clearing the required minimum strength to be effective. The low shad bala score is due in part to Jupiter being defeated by Saturn in planetary war. Jupiter is also being starved by Mercury, Venus and Saturn (over 1016 points in total). Jupiter is being delighted by Sun, Moon and Mars but only to a total of 934 points. These aspects create challenging circumstances for Jupiter’s success.
It is important to keep in mind that Jupiter is such a benefic planet that, even when under a lot of stress, it will still provide results where it can. And there can be some benefits to a person’s enemies and debts having low shad bala. Meghan is currently in Jupiter maha dasa and the acting role that made her famous (TV show Suits – about lawyers, a Jupiter karaka) began almost exactly at the start of the period. This dasa has also produced other Jupiter karakas such as two husbands, a child and an increase in wealth. Many of the sub-dasa lords that have so far been experienced possess good positive yoga scores helping to provide fulfilment. Meghan is currently in Jupiter/Venus sub dasa with Venus debilitated in the chart, in the 12th position from Jupiter (losses) and with a relatively low positive yoga score. This may explain why Meghan’s position in the Royal family and her standing in the press and with the public is now debilitated when compared to the heights of success earlier in the dasa.
6.4 Bhava Yogas
6.4.1 Ascendant Yogas
Jupiter forms a natural yoga of the 6th and 9th lords for a Cancer ascendant. This makes health and routine meaningful for the person and marries neatly with the natural qualities of Sagittarius sign. It also shows why Meghan has refrained from engaging in her step-sister’s provocations preferring to take a forgiving approach to enemies due to the 9th trinal lordship influence on the 6th. (Grigoriadis 2018, "Meghan did what she could ... refusing to speak publicly about the fracas ...")
6.4.2 6th in the 4th
The 6th lord in the 4th house links emotions, home and enemies. It is noticeable that Meghan’s main enemy comes from someone she shared her first childhood home with. The combination can indicate the mother being in debt and Doria did file for bankruptcy (as described in my previous blog post Section 2.4.1). It can also point to making an effort to control emotions leading to ill health. This scenario was described by Meghan in her interview with ITV “I really tried to adopt this British sensibility of a ‘stiff upper lip’ … but I think that what that does internally is probably really damaging.” (Vanderhoof 2019) It does also give a person the potential to overcome emotional negativity and as Jupiter is a karaka for forgiveness, this is an important consideration to keep in mind.
