The field of specialization of different natives and the amount of success achieved by different natives under this benefic influence can vary from native to native depending on the type and strength of this influence as well as depending on the overall horoscope of a particular native in question. For example, the presence of benefic retrograde Mercury in the sixth house of a horoscope in the sign of Aries can make the native interested in becoming a surgeon or physiotherapist and accordingly such native may become a specialist doctor in one of these two fields. The success achieved by this native can increase a lot if benefic Sun also joins this placement in the sixth house of the same horoscope in the sign of Aries. The native under the combined influence of these benefic planets may achieve success and recognition on a much bigger level, and if benefic Venus or benefic Jupiter is present in the tenth house of the same horoscope in the sign of Leo, such native can become the owner of one or more than one hospital.
Similarly, the presence of benefic retrograde Mercury in the sixth house of a horoscope in the sign of Gemini or Aquarius can make the native become a doctor who specializes in neurology and accordingly such a native may become a neurologist who deals with problems related to the nerves and nervous system. If such benefic retrograde Mercury is placed in the sixth house of a horoscope in the sign of Aquarius and benefic Mars, benefic Rahu or benefic Venus is also present in the same house of the horoscope, the amount of money earned by the native by virtue of this practice as well as the amount of fame and recognition received by this native may increase many times. Such a native may become a well known and successful neurologist and he may have a very good success rate when it comes to treat and cure the patients suffering from neurological disorders.

Considering one more possibility, the presence of benefic retrograde Mercury in the sixth house of a horoscope in the sign of Cancer can make the native follow his medical studies with the field of specialization being psychology or paediatrics, which means the doctors who deal with psychological problems and the problems related to babies or young children.

This type of benefic influence in a horoscope can also make the native interested in some type of security services due to which some natives benefitting from this influence may become interested in joining police force, army or any other type of defense or security related job. The type of job profile followed by a native under this positive influence depends on the type and strength of this influence as well as on the overall tone of the horoscope of the native in question. For example, the presence of benefic retrograde Mercury in the sixth house of a horoscope in the sign of Aries can make the native interested in joining the police force and accordingly, such native may try to get selected in some type of police services. If benefic Sun is also present in the sixth house of this horoscope in the sign of Aries, such native may get selected in police and he may also get a good rank which means he may become a police officer with good amount of power and authority.
This is because the presence of benefic and exalted Sun in the sixth house of the horoscope along with benefic retrograde Mercury in the sign of Aries can greatly increase the chances of the native becoming a police officer. If at the same time, benefic Jupiter, benefic Mars or benefic Rahu is placed in tenth house of the same horoscope in the sign of Leo, the native may become a successful police officer and he may directly get selected for a high rank in police service. The combination of more than one benefic planet in the tenth house of the same horoscope along with the presence of benefic combination in the sixth house can further increase the amount of success achieved by the native.
For example, the presence of a combination of benefic Jupiter and benefic Mars or the presence of a combination of benefic Mars and benefic Rahu in the tenth house of this horoscope in the sign of Leo along with the benefic combination present in the sixth house can bless the native not only with selection in police service on the highest direct possible rank, but these benefic influences may also bless the native with a very good career in police force. Accordingly, the native may receive much appreciation and fame for his extra ordinary services to the department and he may also receive formal awards from time to time, provided there are no other malefic influences in the horoscope which restrict the amount of success this native may receive. For example, the presence of malefic Rahu, malefic Ketu or malefic Saturn in the tenth house of the same horoscope can not only reduce the amount of success and fame achieved by the native but it may also reduce the type of rank that the native may get in such service.
On the other hand, malefic retrograde Mercury in the sixth house of a horoscope can trouble the native under its influence on many fronts of his life and accordingly, different natives suffering from this malefic placement may have to face different types of problems depending on the important factors in their horoscopes. Some natives under this negative influence may have to struggle a lot in order to establish themselves professionally and they may only be able to find stable professions late or very late in their lives. Some other natives may have to suffer losses and problems through their professions and they may also have to face court cases and bad reputation if the overall horoscope is also negative. For example, if malefic retrograde Mercury is present in the sixth house of a horoscope in the sign of Aries, the native may have to face many problems related to his profession and he may also have to face various types of disagreements and disputes in his professional sphere.
If at the same time, malefic Jupiter is also placed in the sixth house of the same horoscope in the sign of Aries, such native may have to face court cases and disgrace also, along with the losses and disputes. Moving further, if malefic Venus or Malefic Rahu also joins this combination in the sixth house of this horoscope, the native may develop criminal tendencies and he may become a criminal if there are no other saving combinations present in his horoscope. This native may follow a life of crime for a long period of time and he may have to face court cases and possible imprisonment under the malefic influence of this combination. If malefic Saturn or malefic Mars is present in the eighth house or twelfth house of the same horoscope, the chances of this native serving a long period of time in some prison increase a lot and accordingly, the native may have to spend many years in prison by virtue of a court decision going against him.
Malefic retrograde Mercury in the sixth house of a horoscope can also trouble the native on account of health related problems due to which some natives under this malefic influence may have to face various types of health issues and diseases. For example, the presence of malefic retrograde Mercury in the sixth house of a horoscope in the sign of Libra can make the native suffer from health related issues and such issues may turn into some serious diseases if at the same time, malefic Venus, malefic Jupiter, malefic Mars, malefic Moon, malefic Saturn or malefic Rahu also joins such malefic retrograde Mercury in the sixth house of this horoscope in the sign of Libra.
In extreme cases where such malefic retrograde Mercury is strong, it is joined by one or more than one malefic planet in the sixth house and the overall tone of the horoscope is also negative, the native under such malefic influences may get inflicted with some fatal disease which can claim his life after causing him troubles and pains for a long period of time. Such native may have to spend much money towards the treatment of such disease and he may have to suffer much pain through multiple surgeries or through some other means, by virtue of such fatal disease.
