The Sixth House in Astrology

The sixth house is all about the everyday stuff—your work, your routines, and how you take care of yourself. It’s where the nitty-gritty of life happens, from the job that pays the bills to the habits that keep you feeling good (or not so good!).

This house doesn’t focus on your big career dreams—it’s more about your day job, the tasks you do, and how you get along with coworkers or employees. If you’ve ever wondered why you thrive in certain work environments or struggle in others, the sixth house has answers.

It’s also the house of health and wellness. Everything from your eating habits to how you manage stress lives here. The little things, like your morning routine or your favourite workout, all fall under this house. Even your pets—because let’s face it, they’re a big part of your daily life—are connected to the sixth house.

At its core, the sixth house is about creating balance in your daily life. It reminds you that the small things, like how you organise your day or take care of yourself, can add up to big changes.
