What the 6th house is about

The 6th house governs how you care for the day-to-day and your body. Traditionally associated with work, health, routine, daily habits, service, the body's upkeep, craft, it's the part of the chart that colours work & health. Wherever a planet or sign falls in your 6th house, that energy tends to express itself through this area of life.
