Sun in Partner’s 6th House

The sixth house has not a positive reputation in astrological tradition. Here the sun person and their partner find themselves joined in a rather odd situation: that of routines, chores and duties. The sun person motivates the sixth house person, energizing this often burdensome part of life. At the same time, the sixth house person sees their partner as useful and helpful. Through this relationship, the sun person learns to have more concern for routine, health, habits, and work for other people which might not always be pleasant. Good for professional relationships and wherever it is important to work together to fulfill responsibilities.

Months later, I think I am noticing this play out. This person lives pretty far from me but is always in my business. Wants to know what I am doing at any given moment even if it's something small but with no reason. I don't mind too much but it is a bit weird sometimes. And one day after reading a text message, this placement just popped in my head as a culprit. To me, it's almost as if they aren't helping me with routine things, they want to know my routine and habits. xD

So I have to ask. Has anyone had experience with this placement (with it being your sun in their 6th or vice versa)? How did it go?

I'm curious.

Don't have an accurate birthtime for her. I know her Mars and Venus fall in my 6th and I suspect my Sun falls in her 6th.

This sounds very close to what's going on except almost a daily "phone date". I'm thinking that at this point, my friend knows my schedule and routine better than I do.

A closer look at the synastry chart today, there's a lot more than I thought going on in my 6th house. Sun, Mercury, Uranus, Saturn, Neptune....

My 6th house didn't need any more help xD.

And to everyone, thanks for the input. I am very curious on how the 6th house works in synastry charts.

I agree with Doux Reve that there's a bad tendency for there to be inequality in what roles one partner assumes and a general lack of reciprocity, unless this is addressed by the person who's been adversely affected and the other person is understanding and willing to make an effort to make the relationship less unequal. But the problem is, often times the one more benefiting this contact likes how much they are getting out the relationship without having to give much in return, and so they don't want it to change, even if it's hurting the other person. It's often the man, in hetero relationships, or in same-sex ones, which ever of the two has a stronger sense of entitlement. That sense of privilege that the benefiting partner has can be a huge obstacle to making the relationship fairer.

I could definitely see the potential for this but in my relationship we have sun in the 7th composite and I have sun and Venus in the 7th so it wouldn't feel right for me personally to exploit his good nature - I like things to be fair.

So your bf's sun is in your 6th house and you have a sun in 7th composite as well?
I have this combo with my friend as well. Do you normally get along very well?
