House 6 of 12 · Cadent
The 6th house is about daily life: work tasks, routines, health habits, colleagues and the people or animals you look after.
Meaning
The 6th house describes your ordinary day. It covers your job tasks, your routines, your diet and exercise habits, and how you organise your time. It also covers colleagues, employees and pets.
Planets here show how you work and how you look after your body day to day. They describe habits more than events.
A cadent house: it comes before an angular house. Planets here adapt, learn and prepare.
