The 6th House
Ruled by Mercury and Virgo, the sixth house regularly pertains to one’s health. This can affect both one’s physical health as well as one’s mental health. Physical issues are straight-forward enough; mental ones can often develop from deeper sources such as fears or stresses and can lead to further physical problems. In addition to overall wellness, it also affects how well we take care of ourselves, how good our hygiene is, and what kind of diet we adhere to.
Along the lines of diet and hygiene, the sixth house also affects many of the day to day activities we routinely participate in. They are often the little things that are overlooked. Another day by day activity heavily related to this house is that of work, specifically work that you do in the service of someone else. It affects co-workers as well as the way that you would go about scheduling your day.
This is often a difficult house to deal with as planets with positive aspects are usually weakened and negative aspects are strengthened. These negative aspects can often lead to difficult mental states to overcome such as depression, lack of hope or mood swings.
