To start, Venus is in 6th house in my chart instead of the 5th house. This is perhaps the difference I'm most annoyed with, because I can't find a single description of Venus in 6th house that I relate to. At least with my Sun in 6th house, I can generally find a few things that sound as though they apply, especially with my Taurus Sun in the Virgo decan.

Unfortunately, my Venus being placed in 6th house is a bit more confusing to me. How is my Venus in 6th house? I'm still trying to figure out how it manifests for me. This said, the 6th house is my least favorite house. Why? Because it is generally the house I least relate to yet I happen to have 2 planets there. I don't get it. Nothing I know about 6th house so far seems to fit with me. I'm stuck trying to find an interpretation that applies and I don't think I'm going to find one.

Does anyone have Sun or Venus in 6th house? How do these placements manifest for you? Do descriptions generally fit?

Well for the most part I'd say it fits in a topical manner for me.

6th house is service, help, health and such. And, well, since Venus is love style, it could translate to if I like someone, it brings out my venus, and I can become critical if unhappy, and nearly ruthless. If happy, I'm very helpful and selfless. I like to be useful and cannot abide uselessness.
I also like to make sure the people I care for stay healthy and fit, so, I've been known to give them things like vitamin boosts. Like once, An ex of mine used to get chronic nose bleeds, and his docs never could figure out why. I suggested he went to the pharmacy and pick up some vitamin c tabs and try that out awhile. And lo and behold, his nose bleeds stopped after 2 weeks. And I sometimes give exercise tips, tell them about healthier alternatives to junk food.

Don't get me wrong, I can indulge and am not a freak about it.

Venus in 6th imo is like the sexy nurse in love.

But I do get romantically turned off if I see someone blatantly destroying themselves with excessive junk, alcohol and drugs, because I know it'll have a cumulative effect and one day they're going to pay for it, and it's not considerate to the people who love you to just let yourself go like that. Moderation is key. Total disregard for hygiene, even health wise, grosses me out...

Naturally, since 6th is Virgo, communication is important. There can't be too much violence or aggression or I just can't do it. Harmony is important. Also, I think in love, it can make me playful, almost like a kid. If it's just casual, sure, I'll be a flirty little ho and say the most titillating things that only a hooker would dare utter.

But, if feelings are serious, that's actually when I hate obvious flirting, and mostly just like to innocently tease without any sexual innuendos. When the innuendos DO come, it's later when it's more solid between me and the one I'm interested.

6th house venus, imo, is also straight to the point. no bullsh*t. Anaylyze it, say it, it's a fact, you can't refute it. Do what needs to be done.

If I'm unhappy in a relationship I'll tend to create a list in my head of the things that have been done that aren't satisfactory, and present them like a metaphorical PowerPoint lol

This is partly due to Pluto conjunct Asc, so what colors the Asc (Scorpio) also colors how you approach the variety that is within other houses. In your case Venus in 6th is closely trine Jupiter/Virgo/10th conjunct MC, which also colors the situation.

I did not relate to the 8th house at all when I was in my 20s. That is where my Sun & Saturn is. Houses outside the first quadrant or first 4 houses can take longer to feel out.

Sun in 6th is oriented towards discipline, attentiveness to work done at a basic level of the practical mind (Mercury-Virgo). Venus in 6th implies artistry, craft, or fashion, etc. In some charts it might support a person's design craft in say architecture, depending on where the other planets are and what they're doing. However, you may eventually find that some of the other things associated with the 6th house develop more meaning for you and become part of what you do.

There are plenty of people with planets in the 6th that are not involved in health work or obvious service work. You can think of it as placing artistry/craft (Venus) and ambition (Sun) into a zone of attention to discipline in craft (6th).

What may be just as important is the interception of 3rd & 9th houses, with Saturn in 3rd, which emphasizes the craft end of writing instead of publishing/editing/9th, the more restless big picture end of things.

ALL in the 6th in Scorpio (except my Libra moon but even that semisextile’s my pluto and conjunct my Jupiter).

yet.. I get bored and depressed very easily when it comes to the daily routine and working. I am almost 24 and I haven’t left home yet because of this flaw. I can’t stay motivated like most people when it comes to making money. Making money only interests me so much until I get bored.

Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE being productive and working in general but the daily grind and when I notice things getting routine, that’s where the problems come in.

BUT according to astrology,
I’m supposed to be the total opposite.

It is the house of unconscious private processing at body level and can be useful to creative persons looking to turn internal, instinctual feelings or frustrations into creative output.

I think it helps bring artistic values and aesthetics to what you're willing to work at.

Does it, for example, improve the quality of my work?

By itself, I don't think so, but also having Sun there creates a quality-oriented team.

And does an emphasis on the craft end of writing mean that I'm less likely to get published?

No. Jupiter at MC helps with that.

The daily grind sounds negative but loving the little things and those routines that bring meaning and joy to your life is key to happiness bc if not you become a thrill seeker process addict or substance abuse addict that constantly needs their brain highly stimulated to feel happy.

I enjoy doing stuff around my house, watching my favorite shows, going grocery shopping, counting on those affordable restaurants I love, having my cup of coffee in the morning, driving to work, the structure and routine of my job, the intellectual stimulation from my job, serving others via my profession ect....

Routines and structure give meaning to your life and fill your space with things to look forward to, routines and rituals are vital for mental health...we all need routines and structure.

Like meeting up with a friend you click with once a week that is a ritual and routine that adds meaning and connection to your life as well as hiking once a week and having a job that provides structure and makes you feel empowered bc it allows for independence and financial autonomy plus having a job makes you feel valuable like you are contributing to society with your work whatever that may be.

I suppose the daily grind can be bad if you have not build a life worth living for yourself but if you are working towards a life worth living your daily routine can be fulfilling and meaningful...

Now a routine can get old and then its time to change things up or go on a trip/adventure, go back to school, start a romance, meet new friends, join a group, start a new hobby ect. This is when you access the 9th house and 5th house or 12th house ect and transform your routine so its meaningful to you again!!!

but maybe it just means i'm a loving, crazy, hedonistic tyrant at home?

It feels like Jupiter is leading that stellium instead of Pluto. I wonder if jupiter rules your chart?! Do you have Sag rising?

I am so intrigued lol

Here is a description for 4th house stellium you might find interesting:

4th HOUSE: There is a need to take the energies out of the “personal” home and put them into a professional activity that deals with 4th House issues. The home life is often tumultuous, especially finding upset with every little transit. They do well in such 4th House areas as real estate, building and construction, archeology and anthropology, history, historical preservation or activities connected with the past. It favors working with weather conditions and environmental issues. One woman helps adoptees find their biological parents. Another was a mortician! Their obsession is dwelling too much on their own past when they keep their energies in the personal sector.
The past is always a frame of reference for almost any 4th House placement, stellium or not. The individual gets emotionally stuck in the past. Getting out and working the land is very helpful. I have observed that people who work with environmental issues obsess and lose perspective about what is really workable.

_________

Selenita there is also that possibility that too much going on in a house can make the person feel overwhelmed by that house theme and go the opposite direction seeking to balance out that energy...

What do you think?

posted October 21, 2017 06:59 AM            

I'm not in the medical or a normal field you would relate to this... I do have Pluto, Venus, and maybe Uranus in my 5th, which points to creativity... BUT, you can never take a creative skill and master it without the 6th house energy.

I was a professional musician... by the time I was in HS I taught myself how to play every wind instrument. I still teach marching band, write drill/design shows, and arrange music. (I went to college for all this... it's a skill I learned and mastered)

I also went to school for architecture and photography... and have been doing those as careers too...

That 6th house energy and maybe some Saturn is was is going to push you to be good with a skill trade no matter what it is... b/c you have to practice, practice, practice. I'm not even a professional musician anymore (that ended in 2004) and I still practice with many music instruments for 3-6 hours a day.

Hi, Selenite. Your 4th house confusion caught my attention. Apparently, you found the usual, simplistic interpetations. Forget about them. This house is much more than being family-oriented and playing a housewife. And then, even a well done interpetation is merely a single puzzle in a tricky jigsaw puzzle.

This is how I see it:
MC ruler in the 4th house. Working from home, in clients' homes, underground. Property, mining, ancestry and the past, home security, family business. The job should allow maintaining the desired degree of privacy and staying in the comfort zone.

Taurus Midheaven, Venus in Scorpio. Home decor, jewelry (how about diamonds made of human ashes? it's a thing), clothes, accessories, makeup, skin care, cosmetic surgery, hairdressing, tattoos. Art, particularly something that requires using sharp tools or bodily remains. In short, beautifying people or the environment. Stuff on the dramatic/dark/provocative/seductive side. Painting with blood? Making leather lingerie? Making coffin-like beds? Ok, I'm gonna stop now.

Venus in the 4th. The need to live in a place that meets one's aesthetic standards, needing domestic harmony, talent for decorating, home art collection on display, Venusian core traits. Do you like the victorian style by any chance? Cherishing lovers as if they're family, shyness/caution around the preferred sex, waiting for relationships to happen, romantic love blossoming at home.

Venus conjunct IC. While growing up, lots of: contact with art, playing with makeup and clothes, doing artsy stuff. Close relatives: artistic, charming, popular, hungry for attention and compliments (especially when it comes to the sex they're attracted to), shallow, preoccupied with looks, jealous, pleasant or even ass-kissing on the surface but back-stabbing (because Scorpio).

I hope this was helpful. Of course, not all possible manifestations will apply and you still have some life to live, so things can happen. If you want to chat about your 4th house, make a separate thread and I'll show up sooner or later.

Is your Venus in Gemini? What are the aspects? I think it's important take a close look at this planet since (I assume) it's your 6th house ruler.

In my chart, Venus is making a trine to Jupiter and my Midheaven. For both aspects, the orb is 1.

Venus also makes a trine to my North Node in Capricorn. Its trine to my North Node has an orb of 2.

Okay, that all makes sense now. Haha. Thank you! I do intend to be my own boss, a working artist making art from home.. the ideal would be to have a whole shop setup and everything, that's what I'm gonna try to do with my bf. And I do like dark things, in fact I just made a sculpture of the triple moon goddess symbol, which is also a synth. & I like black metal, doom, thrash, punk, etc etc. And I did actually make a life sized coffin a couple weeks ago out of cardboard, painted black. it's really funny. I can show you guys if you want. (Also I like your morbid ideas..)
I've thought about these things you're bringing up, but thought it was myself stretching the meaning too far. It's good to hear someone else coming up with that.
Oh and, you also just described my mom And, possibly, inevitably, me. But I try not to kiss ass.. Better to be hated than compromise for something you don't believe in..

I hate the daily grind too.. So does my boyfriend who also has Venus in the 6th. But it makes sense for him, I wasn't surprised at all. He's a super earthy person though, and shows love by doing things, being there. Everyone loves him at work, but he also has a Libra MC conjunct SN almost exactly so that's inevitable. He's also an artist, metal dude, works all kinds of interesting jobs, and we met at work. I think Venus in the 6th is actually super cool, a benefactor for you in your daily life / work environment.

All the descriptions of Venus in 6th leave me going, "What? That's not me at all." At the very least, no other placement for Venus fits me either, but that just makes it tougher to figure out how Venus in 6th house applies to me. I don't understand how this placement works for me, and so far, I haven't seen a description of it that makes it sound very appealing either. The posts in this thread do give me some food for thought though. I'm still trying to think about everything that has been said so far.

The placement, however, still sounds dull and uninteresting to me, like a necessary part of life but without anything "fun" or "enjoyable" about it. It's probably how I'm looking at it. I may need some assistance to see the 6th house a bit differently. I'm mostly driven nuts by the textbook descriptions and not being able to find anything beyond that. Maybe I just want the 6th house to be more deep, more complex, more complicated, more interesting. I'm not fully sure how I'm supposed to change my opinion of 6th house. I know that my opinion of it may be trivializing its value. Honestly, I see why 6th house is important. I just don't think it's an interesting house and that's why it's my least favorite. If I could see it differently, it would likely help me be less bothered by having Venus there. I'm usually able to see things from different perspectives. In this particular case, it seems to be a bit of a blind spot.

The things the 6th house involves are not "fun" or "enjoyable" nor is it described as though it can be. Is it even possible for 6th house to be pleasant? It doesn't sound like a pleasant house. It sounds like a house of nothing but the requirements of daily living, which I have struggled with for my entire life so far and thus see no possible way to ever enjoy the things this house represents.

Venus trine MC indicates a job related to art/beauty. Literature can be art. I suppose there are more obvious things in your chart that would describe your interest in writing. Other than that, it sounds like you're bothered a little too much. Remember, you are who you were before you knew about 6th house placements. Don't forget either that they hold multiple potentials (hell, it could be something that wouldn't occur even to me) and the whole story hasn't unfolded yet, after all you're still alive and young. You say you're having an problem but problems can go away. Maybe a hidden health issue or poor diet are draining you. I suggest you limit your sugar/sweetener intate and check your thyroid.

Is transiting Neptune square your ASC or conjunct IC or in a hard aspect to your Moon/Mercury/Mars (within 0.5 deg)? Maybe you have natal hard aspects from Uranus or Neptune (long-term difficulties). Or maybe your Ascendant is still off. Do the people you're attracted to tend to have something personal in Virgo or the 6th house? The Sun is something we grow into so I wouldn't break my brain over this one. You could end up seeing the light after your 1st Saturn return. Now that I think about it, your South Node could have something to do with your struggle with the daily living.

Anyway, you are entitled to consider this house boring and depressing. Life's not all fun and carefree (unless someone's extremely lucky) so there must be room for this in astrology too. And no, I don't have a horse in this race, empty 6th house here.
