The 6th house also rules the technical mind, duty and service. You're right, you've got a lot going on in there. But it might not be what you think. Did you notice that Grand Trine starting from there? Mars/Ceres/Moon. That sounds quite special. I'm just getting to grips with Ceres and what it means in my chart. Don't discount it. You probably have caring and nuturing gifts you don't realise. As you get older you might find a vocation you use it in.
Chrion the Wounded Healer is in your house of communication. It is Trine Mercury here in a triple conjunction with the Sun and Pluto. You may have some penetrating insight on matters concerning healing. But this might be a long process and being a trine, needs a bit of encouragement to get going.
I wonder if you will be involved in healing and health in some way. This house might not be showing you a lifetime of health problems at all, at least not your own.
The Sun/Pluto/Mercury is of personal interest to me ~ it is on the chart of my mother. It isn't the most helpful for a sense of perspective. Like you she had a sibling die before she was born. Personally I think that has had a profound effect on her life. But we discussed this on another thread, I think. There's nothing wrong with her health. She's nearly 70, and I can report her life hasn't been a long picnic (whose is?) it hasn't been that bad either. This is a survivor's aspect.
Health. You can cut down on the risks of getting some things by lifestyle choices. They're obvious, STDs, smoking related diseases, etc. Others are not really preventable. If a lethal strain of human bird flu hits town, snacking on sesame seeds for ten years is unlikely to push you out of danger zone. I'd be lying if I said I'd never worried about it. But hard as it is you have to try and push those fears to one side and promise yourself you will worry about it if it happens, and concentrate on problems you have now. Mental ill-health is in my family too, what can I say? Don't be afraid to ask for help if you need it. You don't have to be on your own suffering.
