भाव · 6th house
अरि भाव Ari/Ripu Bhāva(Sixth house — service, health work and obstacles overcome)
| Purushartha | artha |

| Classification | dusthana, upachaya |
| Karakas | मङ्गल Maṅgala, शनि Śani |
Enemies and competition, disease and its management, debts, service and employment, daily work and routine, maternal relatives, pets and small animals. Uniquely both dusthana and upachaya: its difficulties are the kind that training defeats — the 6th is where discipline turns adversity into fitness, and strong malefics here classically grant victory over rivals.
