Planets in the 6th house

The 6th house represents: How you work, daily activities, mundane activities, pets, food, nutrition and health.

Sun in the 6H: Your core or ego is tied to 6H matters of work, daily activities, mundane, pets, food, nutrition and health. You highly value working hard and consider yourself a hard worker. You work with enthusiasm and vigor, ready to take on the next day. You value healthy foods and your overall health. Your priorities lie in being practical, grounded, efficient, and healthy.

Moon in the 6H: You must find your work emotionally satisfying, or else you won’t like it. If your Moon makes an aspect to Uranus, this will add a feeling of being TRAPPED in a job, and that will make matters worse. ( I have Moon/6H trine Uranus/10H and I have that effect ). Moon in the 6H NEEDS to like their job. It’s of utmost importance. Moon in the 6H might jump from job to job, in search for the perfect job. Working in food, health or nutrition might be satisfying to them, especially if the ruler of your 6H is in the 6H. There might be a tendency to look up health symptomes on Google when one feels ‘weird’ and then get anxiety when STROKE SYMPTOMS come up. Just sayin’.

Mercury in the 6H: Communication is key in where you like to work. Communication is key in any job, but it’s especially important for you. You might write for a job, or you might deal with customer service or sales. You’re good at communicating with your co-workers and have mostly friendly relations with them. Also, this can show you’re very analytical and there is a strategy even when you are doing housework. You feel comfortable with planning and strategizing, and do not feel trapped when in a structured environment.

Venus in the 6H: I think this position shows that you are compassionate and helpful. You like to be helpful and needed. Does this mean you LOVE working? No, probably not. You feel the drudgery of going to work or doing housework everyday like anyone else. My dear sister has Scorpio Venus in the 6H and yes, she feels it when going to Chipotle ( where she works ). When you’re working, you like to help others. It makes you feel good. When dating or married, you are likely to want to be of help to your partner. You want to feel like they need you. It could also mean you are organized and efficient as a partner yourself. However, you might enjoy indulging in good foods too much. My sister goes out to eat too much.

Mars in the 6H: Things in astrology can manifest in so many ways. One way this can manifest is that you’re the type of person who gets the job DONE. Everyone can count on you. You might also be physically strong and capable of physical labor, like construction work. At either rate, you can be authoritarian at a job, directing others to what they should be doing. At your best, you are a good leader who has everyone’s best interests at heart. When Mars is afflicted, you might turn into the ‘Job Tyrant’ where you are constantly barking orders and getting on everyone’s nerves. Until someone complains to the supervisor about your bossy ways… unless you ARE the supervisor, that is. Then that’s different. Or the time when your little sibling told on you to Mom/Dad that you were being too bossy, dividing chores unevenly.

Jupiter in the 6H: This can bring Jupiter’s optimism to work. A lot of people like that. You might be likeable at your job, or perhaps you find it easy to have FUN at your job, even if it’s at McDonalds, and you know you and your co-workers can have a good laugh when cooking food for customers. Who knows? Jupiter is the expansion. You might want to eat too much food or drink too much alcohol, which can lead to ill effects on your health.

Saturn in the 6H: This does not mean you’re going to be sick all the time. It CAN mean that, but it can also mean you’re as healthy as a horse. Saturn is discipline and this can be used to discipline yourself in matters of diet and exercise. You might be highly health conscious. When Saturn is afflicted to Pluto or the Moon, there might be a tendency to anorexia, especially with Saturn in the 6H. Something to be aware of. With regards to work, this can manifest in a way that you are a good worker, steady and reliable. If Saturn is afflicted to Mars, there are self-confidence issues.

Uranus in the 6H: Your approach to work is different, or you think of new ways to do it. Or perhaps you break all the rules at work, because you’re cool like that. Maybe you put too much Chipotle Southwest Sauce on someone’s Veggie Delite sandwich just because you know they like it so much ( when you’re not allowed to ). However, your work may be erractic. You might get bored easily at work, or might get bored with housework or daily routines. It’s wise to mix things up or have fun. Play music or make a game out of it.

Neptune in the 6H: Like Moon in the 6H, your work has to be emotionally satisfying. You want to help people, since you consider yourself very compassionate. You might want to work in a soup kitchen or run a donation charity. If Neptune is afflicted, you might come off as unrealiable to potential employers, so beware of that. You might be afraid to quit a job, because you’re afraid of confrontations. Neptune is the planet of illusions and escapism: There can be ill effects on health, but only if you’re NOT CAREFUL. This can indicate drug abuse or alcohol abuse, or it can indicate obesity. All those things can be prevented.

Pluto in the 6H: A good way this can manifest is that you’re committed to your work. You get the job done. You seem reliable. You like to have influence in what you do. You might want to influence others, or your co-workers. You bring intensity to work. With Pluto in the 6H of health, there needs to be some caution here. Pluto can be self-richeous, so this can indicate someone who might be like that with food. Perhaps this can be the person who is into organic food and insults anyone else who does not agree with him or her. Eating disorders, when Pluto is in aspect to the Moon or Saturn, can arise, especially if there is a connection to the 8th house of obsession. Eating disorders of all sorts: Orthorexia Nervosa ( the desire to eat only pure foods, to eat healthy ), Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, or Binge Eating Disorder. Pluto can be on any side of the extremes. Okay, not everyone with this placement has an eating disorder, but it’s always something to be cautious about.
