"Coming as it does between the 5th and 7th houses, the Leonine roar and the Libran charm, the 6th house often seems a bit lost in some astrological texts. Employment, daily routine, health, diet, and pets are among the most common rulerships assigned to the 6th house. Dane Rudhyar, though, writes that the 6th house “shows, more than any other factor in the whole of the astrological field, how an individual can grow and become transformed.”1 This is quite a powerful statement, considering that many have traditionally associated the 6th house with more earthbound, less transformational Virgoan pursuits. However, transformation means, literally, a change of form."

i thought this was interesting and was on the same page of what i was wondering!
the rest of the article is on this link http://www.astrofuturetrends.com/id20.html

i also found another article from astro.com talking of the same topic. even going into some interpretations of calling the 6th house, the house of alchemy. http://www.astro.com/astrology/in_dgsixthhouse_e.htm

anyone with a louded 6th house relate?

I do see a huge theme for refinement and service to others though. I have a genuine desire to see other people thrive and triumph. When I have the means to help others accomplish that, I rarely ignore the desire to offer help.
I like 6th house, and though it is considered a "weak" house, I like to think of it as subtle, gentle, and mutable. =)

i agree on many levels. i really enjoy my 6th house placements, i have 7 planets in mutable houses. i wouldnt consider them weakly placed, i love working with people and helping them. ive read that the mutable houses are considered the mental houses which makes sense since 2 are mercury ruled and the other 2 are jupiter/neptune.

with pluto in your 6th house, do you find yourself having bowel issues? or repressed stresses working into your health?

its funny we all have virgo moons and a theme of the 6th house as well.

how would you say your jupiter plays out in your 6th health wise? do you love to indulge in yummy foods and would you say your health is typically very good and robust?

I can always tell how I am emotionally by my health. It automatically manifests in my body (perhaps a result of Pluto being opposed ASC) When I am in a good emotional state, I look healthy, fresh, young, and well put together. When I am in low spirits I look sick, old, and unkempt. My stomach is one of the first indicators that my emotions are off and I usually experience high acidity. I'm pretty in tuned with my diet however and am lucky that I often crave foods which make me feel good as opposed to rich foods.

For example, a few days ago my stomach started bothering me. Over the past three days I began craving tangerines, but I discovered it wasn't the tangerine I was craving as much as the peels (I know, eww right?). I have been snacking on tangerine peels for the past couple of days and my stomach issues are gone. Now had you offered me a tangerine peel to eat last week, I would have looked at you like you were insane.

I have just learned to go with these things and chuckle at my body when stuff like this happens.

I'll suck on that for a while or nibble the connective tissue between the cells and munch them like tiny caviar. I also nibble the zest into exciting shapes until it's gone. I have a history of oral fixation haha.

hahaha thats really funny. when i imagine your descriptions without correlated the rest of the text it makes me giggle.

i found some interesting articles talking about the transformational influence the 6th house has which makes complete sense when i think about the sign of virgo-perfection.

transformation is not what comes to mind when i think of the 6th house, and i too have a 6th house stellium

but of course my 6th house is in scorpio sextiling my 8th house planets so i will have transformation no matter what in my life...i just dont associate it with the 6th house

------------------
I once saw a sign that said "sin is death" but if "all deaths are suicide (linda goodman)" and suicide is sin, then shouldnt "death is sin" be more appropriate?

The 6th House also encompasses "the ability to be inventive," according to Debbi Kempton-Smith. Perhaps that's one of the spots from which personal (since the 6th is ruled by Virgo, which is not a transpersonal sign) transformation stems from. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting different results so if present-minded/clear-thinking Virgo (whose House lies in opposition to the 12th which rules asylums) is continually striving for perfection, inventiveness would be in order to achieve different results from the unsatisfactory status quo.

e.g. Reinventing your eating patterns can transform your personal health.

Age of Pisces is still on its last leg, I guess. Hopefully the lesson will carry over to the next age, but expressed through social change (Aquarius).[/B][/QUOTE]
