Planets in 6th House Interpretations

Sun in 6th house

You have extraordinary drive and ambition when it comes to working and helping others.  Being slightly shy, you are more inclined to work on the sidelines, rather than in full public view.  But whatever you do, you are likely to be incredibly good at it, maybe even striving for perfection.  You have a knack for systematic , logical and meticulous  types of work.

Moon in 6th house

There is a need for you to feel useful; this drives you to work in an organized and productive way during your career.  However, there must be a lot of variety on the job to keep you interested and happy, as routine bores you.

Being very sensitive, you are aware of minor health annoyances, body aches, and pains.  This is why people may consider you a hypochondriac, as you are likely to overreact when you feel any of these annoyances.

Throughout your life there have probably been many job changes.  The majority of the people you have worked with are likely to be women.

You have a love of small pets and animals as you find them very nurturing.

Your parents are very hard working.  Or maybe one of your parents had trouble with their health and needs looking after.

Mercury in 6th house

You are an organized person who thinks of all the details that others often forget; this attention to detail makes you handy at mechanics and intricate work in general.  Also, you have great manual dexterity (good with your hands).  People usually turn to you for your help and advice; feeling useful is important to you.  You easily sense all of the little aches and pains in your body that others might overlook. Some people may therefore call you a hypochondriac.

Venus in 6th house

While you may not be flowery or showy when it comes to expressing love, you show your love in other ways such as doing practical things, being there for them, and being thoughtful and helpful in general.  At work, you are well liked by your colleagues, and by your superiors.

Mars in 6th house

Being a hard and energetic worker, you do not hesitate to exert yourself in your job.  At work, you can sometimes be aggressive.  For example, laziness is something you have no tolerance for.  Unless you learn to control your temper, you may find it difficult to exist harmoniously with other employees.  Because you are a perfectionist and hard working, you expect others to be the same; when they are not, it angers you.  Also, you can become very annoyed when someone criticizes your work or intrudes upon the work that you do.  You are very skilled at sorting things out, organizing, and analyzing.

Jupiter in 6th house

At work you are reliable, and actively assist your colleagues when needed.  Working with people comes naturally to you, and you always treat people with respect and a friendly attitude.  Also you are inclined to help those less fortunate than you.  Criticism at work is hard for you to handle.

You have a love of animals; veterinary medicine or other dealings with animals might appeal to you.

Saturn in 6th house

Whatever job you do in life, you will take it very seriously.  But do not fall into the trap of living to work. I say this because you have a tendency to be a workaholic.

Any job that offers a steady routine would be ideal for you.  At work you are very responsible and can handle small details for long periods of time.  Also, you are very skilful in jobs that require precision.

Uranus in 6th house

Any jobs that require some form of routine will be difficult for you.  This is because you desire much change, and the opportunity to express your original ideas and opinions, which are usually rather inventive.  Supervisors and managers can sometimes annoy you; however, you are able to tolerate it.

You may experiment with different diets.  Also, if you are not in control of your own schedule at work, you may become nervous or stressful.  Unusual pets are something you like.

Neptune in 6th house

Any career that requires some form of routine sometimes causes you problems; this is because you find it difficult to concentrate and pay attention to details.

Pluto in 6th house

At work, you do not mind putting in long hours to get the job done; you may even be obsessed and quite secretive about your work.  You may prefer to work alone.  Any job that involves analysis would be ideal for you.

Health may become an obsession for you, especially regarding diet and hygiene.  Or you may be the complete opposite and ignore your health.
