TIMING OF ILLNESS: The native will be afflicted by illness throughout life if Saturn is with Rāhu while the 6th lord and 6th house are conjunct malefics. One will suffer from (severe) fever at the age of 6 and at the age of 12 if Mars is in the 6th while the 6th lord is in the 8th. If the Moon is in Sagittarius/Pisces while Jupiter is in the 6th from the ascendant, one will suffer from leprosy at the age of 19 and 22. If Rāhu is in the 6th, ascendant lord is in the 8th and Mandi is in an angle, consumption will trouble the native at the age of 26. Spleenary disorders will be experienced at the age of 29 and 30 if the lords of 6th and 12th are in exchange of their signs. Saturn and the Moon together in the 6th will inflict blood-leprosy at the age of 45. If Saturn is with an inimical planet while the ascendant lord is in the ascendant itself, windy disorders (like rheumatism) will trouble the native at the age of 59.

यदि षष्ठ-स्थान में राहु व केन्द्र में गुलिक हो, और लग्नेश अष्ट्म में गया हो — तो छब्बीसवें वर्ष में क्षय-रोग होता है। यदि द्वादशेश षष्ठ में व षष्ठेश द्वादश में हो — तो तीस वर्ष या 29वें वर्ष में गुल्म-रोग (फोड़ा, ट्यूमर आदि) होता है। षष्ठ-स्थान में चन्द्रमा शनि के साथ हो — तो 55वें वर्ष में रक्त-कुष्ठ होने की सम्भावना होती है।
