All astrology houses have something interesting to teach you. It is important to have a healthy body with a healthy mind. The 6th House in Astrology deals with matters related to health. That is why it is also called “The House of Health”. It highlights mental and physical well-being and precautionary measures that the natives adopt to make their lifestyle healthy and safe. It discusses natives’ lifestyle choices that make or break them.
This House focuses on the challenges related to your overall health and how your decision-making enforces either safety or risks. If your choices are good, the House is in your favour; if it isn’t, you face its consequences. It, however, also depends on the planetary movements in and around the House’s box.
Above is a general overview of the sixth house astrology. Let us read ahead to know its significance, the impact of planets in the 6th house astrology as well as its influence on the rashis or 12 zodiac signs. Also, to learn about other houses in astrology and some things about your personal life, explore the InstaAstro app and web.
The 6th House represents health, illness and disputes. It’s your daily work routine. The office life and the everyday struggle are observed in the sixth House. Here, the natives are fulfilling their life’s Karma of struggle. Due to the “enemy” factor included in the House, the sixth House is also known as “Shatru Bhava”, where “Shatru” means enemy.
Moreover, the 6th House is also a part of Artha Trikon. That means one needs to know about the sixth House when we talk about finance. In fact, some even believe that it was initially a house of work. Planets in the sixth House decide the kind of work or career we pursue. Hence, when one decides to follow a particular professional path, he/she needs to watch out for the planets sitting in their sixth House as well. Along with this, retrogrades and transits also need to be checked, but all in all, the Sixth House is very important with respect to work.
The 6th House in lagna chart also represents the people in the service industry. People who serve food and look after your health come under this House. Not only that, but whatever debts you incur are seen through this House.
Another fascinating fact is that people in this House are practising 'Prarabdha karma' - the constant Karma or something that you do daily and something which is not in your control. It has connections to your past life that modulates situations of your current life. Your karmic associations to the past and your current set of Karma may help you avoid health issues or encounter health risks depending on the kind of Karma or deeds you do. The sixth house astrology also highlights certain gains and losses, luck and misfortunes.
Your daily Karma or deeds in a specific house depends upon the position of the planet or particular planets in the House you currently fall in your kundali. Likewise, different planets behave differently in the 6th House, and accordingly, the people face its implications when planets in 6th House influence them.
The Sun signifies ego or self-esteem. So your ego falls under the sixth house energy in the presence of the Sun. It is displayed in how you take care of your health and how you work at your workplace. Here, you make sure that you accomplish tasks with perfection without any room for mistakes. You religiously follow a fitness routine and take care of your diet.
Under the strong shadow of the Sun, the natives become the flag bearers of perfect health. Moreover, with the Sun in the 6th House, your day-to-day activities, your work ethic and your sense of service to people and their responses in return are greatly influenced.
When Moon is in the sixth House, your emotional stability comes from the work ethic and the way you carry yourself on an everyday basis. Here, the natives are mostly interested in jobs that cater for services to the needy and to people in general. It includes the act of taking care of people and nurturing them. Even at the workplace, you wish to have family dynamics with your co-workers.
You are the type who actually wants to go out and spend quality time with them. With the Moon in the sixth House, there is a correlation between your emotions and the body. So, depending upon the state of your mind, good or bad, the causes will be reflected in your body.
Mercury is a home in the sixth House. It is the place where Mercury feels strongly and has strong governance. Mercury is the fastest moving planet in its zodiac signs and thus brings rapid changes in the lives of the natives. It also relates to non-stop talking externally and bombarding your mind with thoughts-overflow (overthinking) internally.
Having Mercury in the sixth House, you like to keep moving or stimulated in the work environment. You get restless if you don’t have any work today on a particular day at the office. You like to keep track of your work and health.
Having Venus in the 6th House, the natives have a practical approach towards love. Hence, they are practical lovers. Here, the natives do not want to be showy or boastful. Rather, they wish to help their partners or may be divided work at home. On a day at home, they may wash dishes for you or do laundry without your notice. They basically want to make you feel special by sharing the workload.
People here want to have partners who are ambitious and have an aim in life instead of living in fantasy. It has the earth element that signifies doing things in reality and being rational. However, avoid traps of debts when Venus is placed in the sixth House as it may not be able to overcome it.
Mars is called the planet of action and war. In the presence of Mars, people under this House are workaholics to the max. Your action energy is in your 6th House, i.e., in your work and wellness. They work hard and always challenge their capacities. They may even work straight till the whole weekend without taking many breaks. And they successfully do the tasks in the most productive manner.
Often, you tend to pick up fights and arguments when the co-workers around you are acting lazy and not working up to their potential. They need to be careful not to overwork themselves as it may affect their health.
Every single place that Saturn goes, it brings lessons. Hence, with Saturn in the 6th House, people tend to be more disciplined and structured. They have long-term goals and also have a schedule to go about a day.
Saturn enforces teachings in our lives in the sense that it slows our process of getting to the top in spite of putting maximum inputs. It disturbs your brain and tests you if you are ready to give up on your tasks. It challenges you with numerous situations where you can decide to take a step back. But that is when you come back and put up a fight to reach the top.
Everywhere Jupiter goes, it expands knowledge. In this House, your work life could be really abundant and expansive. People here can find it really easy to find a job and to form a good network with co-workers. They love working and offer their services to people. They take a lot of pride in what they do and gain a lot of luck and blessings.
When you can harness your abundant energy for yourself or in health instead of giving it all away at work, you receive immense positivity in life. In the good placement of Jupiter, you will be able to take out some me time if you really think it through.
The Sixth House is one of the best places for Rahu. The sixth House is known for growing positively with time, and so when Rahu stays in the sixth House, it does very well. Rahu loves to go around people, deceive them, and achieve what it wishes to mean.
The natives are easily able to defeat their enemies and achieve success. That is why Rahu brings some of the best litigation lawyers in the 6th House, whether it is for defending the culprit or the victim. Rahu always wishes to be one of the privileged and hence motivates its natives to dream of working in top-level positions.
In the presence of Ketu, people become social workers in the sixth House. They love serving humanity and helping people without wanting to have any gains. They do not care what people think; they just do it. Because Rahu is in the sixth House of the everyday life of enemies, this can also signify a criminal.
The people in this house act without thinking. So, this can go both ways. It can make doctors, social workers and politicians on the one hand and can also give shelter to criminal minds on the other. However, Ketu feels stuck here dealing with obstacles when all he wants is isolation for the natives.
