The 6th House
(health,workplace,motivations)
The Sixth House represents the field of experience in which you are challenged to develop a set of skills through which you can express the basic human urge to be competent at something that's useful to other people.
Craft, responsibility, the joy of competence... That's Sixth House territory.
Traditionally, it's the House of Servants... The label still works, provided you recognize that it's not your butlers and chambermaids we're discussing here!.. You Are the Servant... But that's not nearly as bad as it sounds.
There's a myth in our culture that encourages us to believe everyone is automatically depressed on Monday morning, happy on Friday afternoon, ecstatic 'til Sunday around dinner time, then crashes down into the pits again come Monday.
Don't believe it!... With a Teacher in the Sixth House, you've got a good shot at shattering the myth, at least for yourself.
A big part of you likes to work, enjoys being good at something, prefers to be useful... The trick lies in finding the right crafts, skills, and responsibilities... Let's let the Teacher speak.
The Sixth House also deals with health and the conditions of a workplace too... Where there is the need for strong attention to the details, as that will be the key to your success.
