The 6th house in Lal Kitab: the house of the mother's side and struggle

It covers obstacles, debts, service, health habits and the mother's family. Owner: Ketu and Mercury.

The 6th house is where struggle is met and won: opponents, debts, daily service and the mother's family. Ketu owns it, with Mercury, and Lal Kitab reads it as the underground of the chart, where things work quietly.

The book has a rule for the 6th: planets here act through the mother's side and through service. Helping the mama's family and serving others are common 6th-house remedies.
