Do you notice virgo/6th house influenced people being major pet lovers? Does anyone know why pets are associated with that sign?

I have read before that the reason pets fall under the 6th house is because some astrologers think that 6th house rules assistance in household chores and tasks. Pets like a cat can help improve house annoyances (clearing bugs and chasing mice). Dogs can guard, can be known to watch over/be loyal to an owner and can be trained to assist with household chores or help to an owner. Maybe thats where it comes from.

Thank you, I can see how that relates!

I've got Venus in my 6th house. I DO tend to love my cats better than people. Venus is in Pisces. My cats have "taught me" about "unconditional love".

Just curious, why wouldn't pets be a virgo thing since it technically rules the 6th house?

Houses and signs are NOT interchangeable. I've got 3 planets including my Sun in the 4th house and I'm NOTHING like a Cancer. Houses are about areas of ones life. Each sign has a "natural position" where it has rulership because the qualities of that sign are at home there. Virgo may have many qualities which someone might greatly desire in an employee or servant, but that doesn't mean that Virgos would like to BE employees or clean up after others (including pets). I suppose the difference between the signs and the houses could be thought of in a similar manner. I might have what you want, but do I want to give it to you? The difference between the two is sort of like that.

I find it interesting that some animals seem to take on the health issues of their humans too. It's as if they absorb our negative energy.

Good point.

Do you think everyone with an emphasized 12th house would consider themselves to be Piscean? I can relate to the planet Neptune since he's strong in my chart, but not to the sign of Pisces. Planets, signs and houses are three different things. Sure there are overlaps, but that doesn't make them interchangeable.

Perhaps whether or not one relates to the sign of an emphasized house has to do with the placement of the house's ruler? Then again my 4th house ruler IS in the 4th house and I STILL don't relate to Cancer as a sign. I'm not in the least maternal.

Not sure what the deal is with house 12. I have Pisces on the cusp of house 6 and that's the house ruled by my sun sign Virgo. Could this have something to do with it? Maybe it's a combination of 12th house emphasis and Pisces on the cusp of the house ruled by the sun sign? I also have Pisces north node, another consideration, aaarg! Too much to wrap my head around...

I am wondering how materialistic you are, Jkitty? I find Cancer placements to be very materialistic, even more so than earth signs.
I have a cousin with sun/moon conjunct in Cancer and she has never been too maternal but she has always been interested in having enough money to buy a huge house and put lots of fine furnishings inside. Cancers seem to love houses, fine belongings and land.

Possible depending on the Sun sign. I've got Aquarius Sun in 4th. Having a "nest" IS important to me, but not anything big, fancy or "status-y". I have a very small house by American standards, but I DID pay it off at the earliest opportunity.

I don't consider myself to be materialistic. In fact, when I'm walking through a store (generally on my way to someplace else) I don't know whether to laugh or weep. We Americans have such a materialistic culture and I can't relate to it at all. I mean do people really need a "watermelon knife" and kitchen gadgets in "the latest fashion colors"?
