The sixth house, on the whole, is a highly misunderstood house, both in natal interpretation and in composite. In basic astrology, it covers health, service, the mundane tasks of our daily routines, and pets (or anyone else dependent on us for livelihood, hence, servants). That’s a lot of ground to cover, most of it a dogs dinner of rulership. I’m going to be covering the sixth house in detail, soon, in another article, but there is a common link between all these things that comes out especially clearly in composite charts.

The sixth house is the crossroads of the chart; it’s a mutable house, a Virgo house. As such, it’s about crisis–the crisis of becoming. It’s where we consolidate the unit so that it’s strong enough to meet the outside world. The sixth house is where we’re tested and refined. It’s where we discover what we’re about. Couples with the sixth house emphasized can lead a life of tests and trials to the relationship that either serve to make it stronger or allow it to fall apart. If there are afflictions and challenges to the sixth house, it often feels as if they come from ‘out of the blue’, and can feel very Job-like in their intensity. The question becomes, how strong, how whole, are we as a unit? Strength comes from working out our priorities as a couple and learning to live on an even keel. If we fill our lives with mundane details and superficial trivia, and never have a direction or a purpose to our existence, how strong are we? The sixth house rules health because health requires balance–body, mind and spirit working together. When the unit is strong, it becomes a vessel for the higher energies of the 12th house, which will use it to bring good into the world, and have our partnership become a living illustration of the way the divine is housed in the ordinary details of life. Sixth house crises are about becoming the vessel. If we fail our tests, the higher energies break us, and we may fail our tests and fall apart.

Couples who have the sixth house prominent are often interested in health and well-being; they may also be devoted to expressing the higher energies. If this is the case, the strength of their convictions will be tested. In all cases, a composite chart with a prominent sixth house will ask a couple to find devotion in the day to day. Their work in the world will have to encompass both their thoughts about their environment (3rd) and their visions and beliefs (9th). In the sixth house, we need to open ourselves to a higher power in order to make sense of life. The more we let the higher powers influence our decisions, the more successful we will be as carriers of those powers. The sixth house is about transition–the transition from the meaningless to the meaningful, a place where the the smallest thing can be the most significant. We find our compassion, because we understand that the smallest and the greatest things in life are one and the same.


What's your 6th house story?

Hi Aunt..again! It seems like you found yourself a second stalker, as well, lol!!! Just joking!
The synastry of my parents has a prominent 6th house, although it is only from my mom's part lol. She puts a whole bunch of planets, points and asteroids in my father's 6th house : Venus, Pluto, Sun, Mercury, Mars, NN and Vesta!!! What I find as a "double 6th house effect" though is the fact that 4 out of 5 of her planets are in Virgo! Venus, Sun, Mercury and Pluto! Perhaps this helps in the sense that she is already familiar with the 6th house energy! The description that you mentioned in your initial post fits absolutely btw! They both pay attention to little details and its as if you describe their motto by mentioning that "the smallest thing can be the most significant" lol!
Feel free to tell me if you are interested in more details for the synastry!

Our 6th house story is in its infancy but I can report a few things which seem important to me.

So first what seems like the relevant astro then the story as it stands now..

Composite Venus 6th house (in Leo, which my astrologer deemed relevant/important by the way heh), opposing Sun and Mercury in the 12th in Aqua

Davison Sun, Venus, and Mercury in the 6th house

His Saturn/Pluto and Jupiter/Uranus in his 6th house

My Sun in his 6th, his Sun in my 6th house

My Juno is in Virgo in the 10th. My South Node and POF are also in Virgo.

I think this qualifies us as a 6th house heavy relationship.

Today and yesterday he took my truck to scavenge the back lanes for pallets and nice wood and big beautiful windows, screens and other building materials which we're going to turn into greenhouses and fences for animals and tree houses (maybe--we're both pretty zen about it all though and joke about how we have these sticks now what? Etc. But there's no reason it can't happen!). Of course gardening and keeping animals are very 6th house deals. As is building actually I suspect...

He likes to do stuff with things as a function of his heavy 6th house natally... he refers to the land I bought as OCD paradise... poking fun at himself. He's such a funny blend of things but there is an OCD element to him which he embraces because he sees the meaning and spirit in things (12th/6th house focus in his chart).

The relationship itself seems to be given form and function by this land project we're both interested in, which essentially is a labour of love and an effort to be of service somehow, long term, just acting on what seems inspiring without the expectation of reward or outcome. Perfect 6th house attitude I think... I bought the land because of a vision i had during a ceremony... which i was kicking myself for after because i didn't see how i was going to ground it and really regretted spending all my inheritance! That was when Saturn hit my 2nd house cusp by the way...

Well, it seems to be falling into place and maybe the vision (12th house) didn't steer me wrong after all...

I'm realizing a 6th house relationship is perfect for my Virgo Juno... I like knowing he's out there working on stuff and I had so much fun (Venus in the 6th) scavenging with him the other day.

We sometimes have hilariously fun times cooking, doing things in a zany way which is totally overboard (Aqua/Leo)...

There is sometimes that "what can you do for me?" attitude/question maybe, I feel it sometimes more than others but he and I are both pretty vigilant in terms of making sure you're REALLY in love with the person you're with... and luckily along with 6th house Sun overlay d/w the other house overlays in synastry are pretty romantic/passionate (Moon in 5th/Moon in 8th, Venus in 5th/Venus in 7th, etc)... as well as the configuration of chart rulers in composite (5th lord and 7th conjunct; something about vitpreet yoga given the 8h ruler is in the 6th, where good things come of bad scenarios? Something something, according to iq? Anyway).

I recently started seeing (and am taking a romantic break from) someone who I have a lot of 6th house overlays with.

My venus and mercury fall in his and his venus and sun fall in mine, though his sun is very close to my descendant. In our composite our venus, mars, and mercury fall into the 6th.

As soon as we met I felt a really instantaneous connection to him in terms of general overall comfort. It just felt like a nurturing relationship. He comes to me with issues about his day. I know that there's snow on the ground and it's taking him a while to get to work. I'm the first person he sends a message to when he has a problem with work or his stresses regarding his apartment search. I've also come to him with a few fairly stressful things that have happened to me recently.

The problem between us currently as I see it is that both of us have gone through a pretty traumatic relationships recently and shouldn't be seriously dating anyone. At the same time, the other men I've been seeing date-wise don't really hold a candle to him. I feel like the authenticity between me and these other men were fading yet at the same time, I didn't feel he was ready to just see me. I didn't want to sacrifice our relationship by letting my feelings get the best of me so we decided to be friends for the time being. We still seem to be talking everyday, but I'm feeling a little heartbroken. He seems to be rather sad too, but perhaps this is the most responsible (best) thing we can do for each other.

Is this ultimately 6th house? I feel like I'm sacrificing all of my desires to maintain whatever I can salvage at the moment.
