Or if a person is inclined to treat or feel a position of work they seek/take/have is bigger to them (maybe a vocational calling or a creative area that is less rigid) than just earning bread, though they have no Education by the acedemic standards, could it be "self" who decides of it crossing into the MC territory, like a guitarist with passion - the world can see this passion- as though they become the guitarist rather than told they are one?

That energy of the person in the garage band that exhibits such energy, people walk by "oh that guitarist is playing again" - Rather than a derisive or random remark about a hobbyist. So they appear to be that perceived as that which they (the artist) carry their passion for.

I mean, what (other than degrees/certifications) can cross someone over from a 6th house to 10th when it comes to work - that they feel is more a path/career - yet "the man" didn't have to say so.

One of the co-owners is Valkyrae, 29, cappy with an Aquarius moon, and Sagittarius ascendant (she said this herself). She attended community college, played video games since she was a kid. She had three jobs, and a large following on Instagram, when someone told her that she should start streaming on twitch, in her early twenties. In 2018, she set herself a goal with the game Fortnite. During that time, other streamers noticed her, hosted her on their channels, and since there was talk of joining teams, they had her playing/collaborating with people in those teams. Her career really took off in 2018, she joined his team, and now she’s a co-owner, because he credited her with helping the business to grow so much.

In essence I think that the 6th house is more our private inclinations re: our daily life in general, both on and off work. Our habits and what drives them. The MC on the other hand is what the public sees of us or how we want to be seen by the public... and also what aspirations we have, what we want to achieve. There is no daily grind there. If we have a passion that drives us towards a goal, then I think that said goal is more MC territory, while the passions might show in the 6th house... if that makes sense.

I have Mars and Mercury tightly conjunct Midheaven in Cancer. Empty Pisces 6t house. I work as a librarian, which feels like a calling.

Ironically I think my Pisces 6th house shows a disinterest for the daily grind... I'd rather escape that in any way possible. I don't want my work to feel like work. I want it to be fulfilling and creative. I enjoy work where there is flexibility and fluidity rather than rigidity. I don't think that my Pisces 6th house indicates my specific career as a librarian in any way, but it shows the inner tendencies that makes being a librarian so fitting for me. These tendencies were probably a good fit for a number of other vocations too though.

Mercury conjunct Midheaven in Cancer, in mutual reception with Moon in Virgo 12th, are probably good indications of my vocational path. Finding enjoyment in the organization of information, as well as a good intuitive understanding of other people are what makes me a great librarian.

One of the things I associate with the 6th house is service, to serve other people.

I also think of the 6th house as being about a persons daily grind so to speak... which may or may not include their job. I don't think Midheaven is generally about degrees or certifications though. MC is the public view of a person, which can include anything a person is known for.

Nadja, that was so very helpful. Thank you. How might it be if the chart owner was a "service to others" type, yet to begin it is a home (4th) home front.The 6th and 4th rulers might be most influential with this?

Yeah... I think there would be some 4th house connection in that case. Like the ruler of the 4th house being in the 6th house maybe??

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that my Jupiter is square my MC, and I have Jupiter in 1H.

I enjoy the intellectual work but loathe everything else (the environment, the people). So I'm trying to change careers.

I also have Uranus, Neptune and Lilith in 6H. Dunno if that's relevant. I've never felt a 'true calling'; I've always had tons of interests and they all differed, so I just picked a career that allowed me to explore them through my intellect, doing research, writing about them etc.

Thank you. Very helpful as well. So basically even those who have drive to pursue a career path in the official matter, may not feel as tethered always to MC/10th. Is your calling you think you could still have? I mean maybe it is yet to be activated? I think those who go to school continually may not quiet the mind long enough to hear their calling. Like plans all laid out. Building their career structure. Just a thought?

I'm thinking sword and cups, as in tarot. Maybe the 6th is more heart centric and 10th more Sword centric though they both are governed by Earthly powers. Virgo/Capricorn. Mercury and Saturn are
starkly opposite. A calling might require the heart being unblocked. When we are in
structure it might block heart calling. All that goes into a successful academia career and leading into an actual career could quiet a calling. I'm rambling.
