Dusthana houses (6th, 8th, 12th) are the difficult houses associated with obstacles, transformation, and loss, though they serve important karmic purposes.
Dusthana means 'evil place' but these houses handle necessary life challenges. The 6th house governs enemies, disease, and daily struggles. The 8th house rules transformation, death, inheritance, and occult knowledge. The 12th house represents losses, foreign lands, liberation (Moksha), and spiritual transcendence. Dusthana lords placed in other Dusthanas can form Viparita Raja Yoga, turning adversity into unexpected success.
TriAstra evaluates Dusthana placements in Red Flag detection and checks for Viparita Raja Yoga when Dusthana lords exchange positions.
Dusthana placements challenge you but also build resilience. The 8th house especially can indicate deep transformation and hidden power.
