Running from Problems and the Third House
Running from a problem is what a weak third house of courage does when the sixth house of conflict and debt presents a bill. The twelfth house of private work is a different choice, and six rashis are not the runners.

Courage is the missing piece
The third house is courage. Mars is its karaka. When the third lord is damaged and Mars does not aspect it, an ordinary sixth-house conflict feels unfightable. The native leaves. That leaving is not the twelfth house used as a workshop. The twelfth is loss and foreign residence, and it can be a deliberate back room. Flight is the third house failing in front of the sixth. The first house is the self that has to live with the exit. A firm lagna lord can be afraid and still stay. A weak one confuses exit with safety.
The Moon's escape hatch
The Moon shows whether fear floods the body before the third house is consulted. Saturn on the Moon can freeze. Rahu on the Moon can bolt toward any door. Neither is six signs. The fourth house is home. Some flights are toward the fourth, back to a parent, which is not the same as vanishing into the twelfth abroad. Name the house that receives the person. A column that only names the rashi never asks where they went.
Mars can return the nerve
Mars mahadasha lasts 7 years and, if Mars helps the third, those years often stop the habit of leaving. A third-lord antardasha is the shorter test. Saturn's long period can either build stamina or confirm avoidance, depending on Saturn's house. None of these clocks belong to a rashi club. Lahiri sidereal lords fix the third cusp from the birth time. Change the time and the courage house may change sign, which is why a list of fleeing signs cannot be stable.

The Moon shows the flood of fear. Saturn can freeze it and Rahu can bolt. The third house still decides whether courage was available.
