With 10th, we question whether our lives have meaning or purpose i.e. are we living "up" to our potential (MC). Or are we stagnant?

Transits of Plu/Nep or Uranus to house 10 are often indicative of a crossroads or a point where there is an opportunity that will avail itself for us to change the trajectory of our lives.

With the 6th however, the bigger themes are not honed into focus as much as the smaller ones are i.e. the actual nature of the job, the routine, the admin, the office politics,the daily challenges,the relationship with co-workers and seniors, the projects we are involved in and the general work atmosphere etc.

The 6th house is a daily "struggle" in that we have to go into work,do the job. Then go again tomorrow to do it all over again.On and on it goes. And for that, we need energy(Mars). So Mars does well in house 6 because it is re-energized daily and is able to face the challenges in this house.

But Mars in 6th can also have the potential of going into overdrive and being involved in conflict (Mars) at work(6th) by causing small fires there or finding them too irresistible to not involve themselves in. This in terms of daily tasks/routines/work politics (6th) etc.

Extended outside of work, Mars can be fault finding and critical.Starting fights and nitpicking on the details of their dissatisfaction (6th). As clients, friends or parthers, they can(at worst) be a nightmare to deal with because NOTHING is ever good enough. And they are quick to talk about their stark dissatisfaction with a very sharp tongue(Mars).

It is however worthwhile for these people to note that whatever external situation they hone attention into and critique, that situation has more to do with their own emotional / mental state contextually, than what the external situation they are criticizing & fussing over is intrinsically.

So no, its not the partner that is all that annoying, the waiter who got your order wrong, the tone of voice of your boss nor the way the other driver is driving, that has your boxers in a wedge. Its YOU. You are just in an irritable position and are currently highly flammable. Examine your contextual mental state. Are you on an upward spiral/swimming upstream(to borrow from Abraham Hicks teachings) or are you on one that is going downstream? Mental contextual awareness is EVERYTHING with this position.

So don't you go actively participating in that which makes you unhappy. Because by paying more detailed attention to it, complaining to everyone about it etc. You are amplifying it and making it BIG.

But rather turn your attention from the details of whats "wrong" with (and Mars gives you the ability to catch this early on before it snowballs) to appreciating (in great detail) what is going right. Thus exalting whatever it is that is being observed.

This approach can extend to sexuality
I.e. Sexually, these people can be the most challenging or easiest to please. There is much that can throw them off or turn them on. The devil is really in the details here because Mars in 6th is the knife edge. There is much in the mind that is sharpened towards the details of the moment and picking up on the nuances of here and now.

So it could be the smells that put them off(or on), what you say or don't say, the tone of voice or delivery,the general environment where lovemaking will take place(or not) OR the noise outside that decreases or increases focus to the task at hand.

It could go either way and depends on the Mars in 6th house concerned- as no two are built alike i.e. what the other thinks is a faux pas. The other Mars in 6th perceives as a "forward pass"🤷🏿‍♂️

So no, cleanliness may cozy one Mars in 6th on to you.But not all. Because for another, its the musky smell of human odour and sweat etc. That actually livens the erotic nature.

I had a lady with Mars in 6th tell me that she is hectically aroused by the smell of her man after a hard day's work. He is a construction worker. So she likes making love to him in his work clothes or have him role play whilst dressed in them.

So once again, Mars in 6th(on the other hand) can be positively attuned to hard manual work or those jobs that make em break a sweat. Or (on the other hand) be frustrated by dirt and the stressful surroundings that such work can bring etc.

Mercury (affiliated with 6th) is duplicitous. One twin is left and the other is right. The key is to know which twin you are dealing with(if you have this placement or are involved with someone who does). Then you will be able to turn all that critique and criticism (over time) into crystals.

It is worthwhile to add that for the Mars in 6th natally , that the criticism that you exact on others. You also level on yourself. For life is a circle and all energy expressed (in your case mental) returns to you.

So you are not spared from your harsh words. Because as unkind as you are to others(through putting them down and emphasizing the "error" in their ways), you are also inadvertently being as equally unkind to yourself. The disease you accumulate will notify you of that. Sometimes it may be so advanced in its crystallized form, that it needs surgical (Mars)intervention (6th) i.e. Be mindful of that and practice more positivity daily through meaningful and heartfelt affirmations(Merc)☝🏿

Mars in 6th(for Asc in Tau/Lib) can create issues in relationships and alienate you from others(Mars in 6th is 12th from the 7th). No, its not "slim pickings" out there. There is no "shortage" of men or women to love. You are just viewing from the vantage point of cracked lenses. So no partner (7th-house is ruled by Mars) will ever be "good enough ". They will all appear (metaphorically) "broken".

Mars in 6th(for Asc in Aries/Sco) can create issues with the self (1st house). You view yourself with a very harsh light and can sabotage your own confidence by crippling yourself with "analysis paralysis" .

Watch out for migraines or headaches caused by so many thoughts going back/forth in your head causing heat. You stress and worry a lot. Let your impulses guide you to where you need to go. This even as they feel "wrong". They know the best outcome for you long term than what your strongly analytical and diffident mind can comprehend

And for peace-sakes, forgive yourself with all your so-called "imperfections". Love starts from complete self-acceptance. Because once you do this, it will be hard to look at anyone outside of yourself as "undeserving " or "unworthy" of love❤

I am an extremely hard worker and physical labor is a need or I'll get sick but in my younger years I let the balance slip completely off and my body paid for it. With so many oppositions, especially where Mars is concerned, there must always be balance and I had to teach myself how to turn Mars off. Or at least how to become aware of the internal energy and channel it.
I think people overlook the 6th House and don't give it enough credit. The 6th House, like you said, is the "struggle" of everyday life. It's the house that when you wake up in the morning, you're already in. On your ride to work, you're in the 6th house. Going to the grocery store... 6th house. We take it for granted but it's critical to deeply understand the engery/energies you have going on there. I think that's why having such an intense planet like Mars can get out of hand so quickly. You don't even realize how much energy you've spent doing... Everything. Literally until you pass out from exhaustion.

Reading a lot of this post reminded me of myself years ago. I was absolutely 100% critical of everything lol. I'd like to go back in time just to smack myself sometimes. It takes a lot of growing and patience with yourself to even begin to understand how this house works every day. It wasn't until my Saturn return that I really had some major insights.

Another thing I'd like to mention is the potential for mental issues like OCD and adhd to show up with Mars in the 6th. I struggled with that a lot and would work my fingers until they bled. This being the house of Virgo and Mercury, with so much energy being hyper focused, it can easily sweep you away.

I enjoy reading 6th house people responses. This because i know that
it was probably thoroughly checked 2 ir 3 times for spelling or grammatical errors😁.

You made a great point about the 6th house being overlooked. It is. But i also think that it deals so much with the minutiae. That it slips into "auto pilot" field of life experience.

My daughter has a 6th house Mars in Aqua, conjunct Uranus. She doesn't necessarily have a sharp tongue, but when she becomes dissatisfied with something or someone, she just walks away. She becomes bored and no longer gives it or them the time of day. If they appeal to here and make themselves interesting again, she gives them a chance.

I always think of Ura aspects as the "detour". Sat delays but eventually gets there. But Ura can detour, then lose enthusiasm in getting to the intended destination.And end up elsewhere completely different.

Ura may inspire Mars to shift gears or change the target (this in a very spontaneous fashion) that disrupts the current course.

Not mars, but Sun/Mercury/Ceres/Chiron in the 6th, in Aries. My mother once cheered when I stood up for myself, and I still wasn't mean. I have Mars trine Uranus/ascendant.

Getting cut while chopping vegetables, banging their head on the kitchen cupboard whilst cooking/reaching for spices, burning themselves on a hot stove, biting their tongue whilst eating,stubbing their toes whilst walking etc.

A bandate/bandages/anti- inflammatory creams and mixtures etc. are essential injury related health items to have within reach or in the household pharmacy cabinet.👌🏿

Virgo(6th house) is 8th from the 1st house. The 8th and 1st are places of domicile for Mars. So Mars is comfortable in the Mercury ruled 6th house(Aries is in the 8th house cusp for Virgo). As it is in the 3rd house(Gemini is in the 8th house cusp for Sco).🙌🏿

So even with anger, ome can literally "forget" midway what they were so mad about. Or have a sudden outburst somewhere else in a completely unrelated event.🤔

Very good insight... she definitely can detach when needed, and does when things get too emotionally intense. She doesn't have random anger outbursts (I think she represses a lot!) but she will have random emotional moments. She can cry easily and unexpectedly at times and when I ask her what she's feeling, she never seems to know.
