A note on this entry Bhava karaka of the 6th: Mars and Saturn. Whole-sign rule: the bhava is the whole sign, so every planet in the same sign as the lagna is in this bhava whatever its degree, and the bhava cusps are the sign boundaries. A Western quadrant house (Placidus, Koch, Campanus, equal) divides the day into arcs instead and can push a planet into a neighbouring house or leave a sign intercepted; the two answers differ and the difference is not a defect. The corrective used by some Jyotish schools is the bhava chalit chart, which re-draws the cusps by the Sripati method.

Karaka Enemies Disease Debt Service Servants Litigation Competition Maternal uncle Digestion Accidents Daily labour Obstacles Meaning The sixth bhava is enemies, disease, debt, service and litigation - everything that resists and must be fought or served. It is a dusthana, and also an upachaya house, so the classical rule is that malefics in it do well: the 6th is the house where a malefic is useful, since fighting is what it does.
