The Zodiac consists of twelve individual signs. Each planet moves through each sign and the twelve houses or ‘sectors’ associated with each. Sectors govern different areas of life. Your personal chart shows which house or sector each planet occupied at the time of your birth. That’s what makes your horoscope chart unique.

Sixth House

Horoscope Houses describe a planet’s influence

Within your chart, you will see some sectors have one or several planets in them while others will be empty. Because there are eight planets plus the Sun and Moon and twelve sectors, it is easy to see there are more houses than there are planets.

Planets are on the move constantly

While many people will have empty houses in their chart, it’s important to remember that planets are on the move constantly and a sector that sits empty one day could find itself occupied the next. This also partly explains why two people born on the same day or within a day of each other can be very different.

The Sixth House describes your need to be responsible, duties, obligations, work and health.

In short, it rules your daily routine and the methods you use to get your work done. It describes the nature of your work and workplace environment as well as any people you employ.

This house rules the conscious mind and all we do to keep our bodies healthy, such as diet, fitness, and exercise as well as dentist and doctor checkups. The Sixth House also rules domestic pets and small animals.

The Sixth House is ruled by Mercury and the sign of Virgo.
