Small Fights and the Sixth House
Picking fights over small things is the sixth house in a Martian mood, and the sixth house is conflict and debt. The trigger is an obstacle, not membership in six rashis.

Conflict as a house
The sixth house is conflict and debt. Mars is the karaka of striking. When Mars rules, occupies, or aspects the sixth, small obstacles recruit a full argument: a tone of voice, a late reply, a misplaced bill. The third house is courage. With courage and without a hot sixth, the same obstacle becomes a task. With a hot sixth and a weak Moon, it becomes a wound. The Moon is the mind that decides the size of the insult. Six signs cannot encode that trio.
Debt makes people sharp
Because the sixth is also debt, some fights are money wearing the mask of principle. The second house is wealth and speech. If the second lord sits in the sixth, speech and debt share a room, and the argument is often about who owes what. The seventh house is marriage. A sixth-house pattern dumped into the seventh makes a spouse the preferred opponent. That is a house link, unpleasant and specific. It is not a destiny for six rashis, and it is not a medical condition.
Mars for seven years
Mars mahadasha lasts 7 years. Petty combat is a known weather of that period when the sixth is involved. A Mars antardasha can be a difficult season inside a calmer mahadasha. Saturn's aspect can slow the trigger without removing the sixth house. Remedies of conduct are simpler than rites: do not send the sentence tonight, and do not confuse a bill with a betrayal. Lahiri sidereal Mars decides the sign. Invented degrees of a transit are not required and are not offered.
