You can work in the theater or film with Leo here, be in the public eye yourself, or do work that helps people in some way. 6th House in Virgo You’re focused on the details in your work, and can get so lost in them that you never actually finish the job.

With Libra here, you can work in the arts or beauty industry, or with the law. 6th House in Scorpio You’re serious about your work, and can become obsessed with it at times. You may be too intense for coworkers to deal with, and can work best on your own. When you’re emotionally and mentally drained, it leads to health problems for you. You can have issues with your reproductive health. With Scorpio here, you can do work in science, research, or in finance. 6th House in Sagittarius You’re a fun coworker, someone who tries to make people laugh and enjoy their work, but you may not take your work very seriously at all if you don’t care for it.

Your nerves can cause all sorts of health problems for you, and you need to learn to corral your wild energy. With Aquarius here, you can work in science, technology, or invention. 6th House in Pisces Your emotions are directly tied to your work, and if you’re doing work that’s fulfilling, you feel great. If you’re not, it has an impact on your physical health. You can do well as an employee rather than a boss, but need to make sure you don’t get taken advantage of. You worry too much about your work.

Natal Planets in the 6th HouseNatal Sun in the 6th House
With your natal Sun in the 6th house, your identity is tied up in your work and service. If you don’t feel productive or like you’re working to the best of your ability, you get down on yourself. You keep busy, and without being busy, you can drive yourself a little crazy. When you do good work, you feel confident and proud, but you have high standards for your work and can have a hard time living up to your own expectations. When other people criticize your work, you really take it to heart, and are overly sensitive in that regard. It might be best for you to mostly work on your own, and in a profession that allows you to express yourself freely. You don’t mind working hard and putting in the hours, and can be good in a crisis. With the Sun here, you may have some flaw that you have to work on, usually one with your body/health. Natal Moon in the 6th House You have a need to be of service to people, and can’t stand being idle, feeling useless. You may be fidgety, and always require something to do. You can plow through the small tasks with ease, and seem to be on the nose with everything. This makes you reliable, and people probably trust you with a lot. You may have trouble sticking with one job, and may go from job to job throughout your life. You need a work environment that keeps you stimulated while also being nurturing. Being healthy is important to you, equating physical health with a good life, though stress may take its toll on your physically. Learn to deal with stress in a positive way, otherwise it will eat away at you more than most. You can be very sensitive and are wounded easily, so take care of yourself. You can be very practical and not give in to many whims. In relationships, you do lots of little things for the person you’re with, though you may have a tendency to get involved with people who you think need to be bettered. Natal Mercury in the 6th House With your natal Mercury in the 6th house, you’re exceptionally detail-oriented. You don’t miss a thing, no matter how small it may be, but you can have a hard time with the bigger picture because of that. You’re good with organization, needing structure and order with your thoughts, ideas, and projects. It might be hard for you to get your mind to quiet down and it always seems to be going nonstop, which can lead to nervousness and anxiety. You could be a health nut, even a hypochondriac, and it’s mostly in your head. It would be good for you to find outlets for your mental energy, but also try to find ways to calm yourself down. You could work as a writer, in communications, advertising, with technology, or work with your hands. Natal Venus in the 6th House With your natal Venus in your 6th house, you like to do things for your loved ones. You want to always be there for them, and that’s how you show your love for them. You’re not much for regular romance, and prefer to pay attention to the little things. You may think you deserve the kind of love that would be best for you, sacrificing love to be more practical. The 6th house rules work, and you can do work in the arts, the beauty industry, in design, or in human resources.

You like to get things done quickly and efficiently, and don’t put anything off. You’re good with structure and order, likely quite organized, and have a perfectionist inside of you. You may have a hard time working with other people, always butting heads with coworkers. Since the 6th house rules your work, you could work on your own, in sports or physical fitness, in the military, or in the entertainment industry. Natal Jupiter in the 6th House With your natal Jupiter in your 6th house, you can have an easier time than most finding work when you need to. You just need to make sure you remain interested in whatever you do so you don’t bounce around from job to job. You tend to get along well with your coworkers, or work with people from other places, and you expect nothing but the best out of them. You can understand the details and how they fit together.

Natal Saturn in the 6th House With your natal Saturn in your 6th house, you’re a hard-worker and won’t put play ahead of work. Work has to be done before anything else can happen.

As you get older, you can figure out what you like working at and veer into work that is pleasurable. You can also be very health-conscious and concerned with healthy living. Some of you may have a health issue that’s worse as a child but gets better as you get older.

How your relationships at work satisfy you emotionally may become a focus now. Are things really working out for you, or is this job draining more of you than it’s giving? Your health can be a concern, and this is a good time to schedule a checkup. Eating better, exercising, and getting adequate sleep will seem important, and any problems with your health can be felt more, so pay attention to what your body’s telling you, as this may be the best time to figure out what needs tweaking. If you stress too much, this can take a toll on you physically, so try not to get too wound up about anything.
