Sixth House

The Sixth House governs daily work, health, routines, service, and the maintenance of the body and life. It describes your approach to employment (as opposed to career, which is the Tenth House), your health habits, and your relationship with duty and service. The sign on the Sixth House cusp and any planets within it reveal your work ethic, health tendencies, and how you handle the mundane demands of life. The Sixth House is associated with Virgo and Mercury in the natural zodiac. A prominent Sixth House suggests a life organized around service, skill development, and attention to health. Transits to the Sixth House often coincide with job changes, health shifts, new exercise or dietary regimens, and a call to be of service.
