The House Of Routine & Health

The Sixth House in an astrological birth chart is also known as the House of Health. This house rules our well-being, daily routines, vocations, work, health and service. It is governed by the zodiac Virgo and the planet Mercury.

Like the zodiac ruler, this house focuses on self-improvement and how we can live a serviceable life. This life can only come from an outstanding balance of our work life, needs and health while we provide service to others.

Holistically Healthy

In fact, health here is multi-faceted to be represented holistically. The sixth house will cover anything in your daily environment, as these little things consistently influence your day-to-day energy levels and well-being.

This routine includes your eating habits, hygiene, diet, sleep, and work. One’s daily occupation affects their physical body and mind, so anything in the broader picture that consistently affects you becomes a part of this house. This insight can help you improve yourself in a responsible, disciplined way.

Service Yourself First & Then Others

It also helps us understand the way we could cater to our health and then be of service to other people in our life. In this house, awareness shifts first to ourselves and how we can improve and support ourselves through consistent healthy routines that allow us space to be valuable in service to others.

The sixth house contains clues to all illnesses that one could have a risk of, mental or physical. This house also governs an individual’s ability to heal others, automatically becoming the ruler of service and health industries.

In addition, this house also rules your pets and little creatures around you because their daily presence also adds quality to your life, emotionally and physically.

However, to fully understand the sixth house, you will have to explore all planets in it in detail to see how energy is focused in your routines and what you have in terms of providing to others in your life.
