Mercury in the 6th house in Lal Kitab
Mercury exalted in the 6th: a sharp problem-solver who wins through skill, service and quick thinking.
Mostly helpfulWhat Lal Kitab says
The 6th house is one of Mercury's own houses and its house of exaltation in the Kalpurush order, so Lal Kitab counts this among Mercury's strongest positions. The person solves problems, handles paperwork and wins disputes through intelligence. The book asks only that they keep good relations with the daughters and sisters of the family and with the mother's side.
Why Mercury behaves this way here
The 6th house is Mercury's own house (pakka ghar). Lal Kitab says a planet at home shows its true nature, and its results are more dependable.
In the Kalpurush order the 6th house is Mercury's sign of exaltation, so it is counted at full strength here.
