6th House
The sixth house implies a crisis of perception, the period of personal readjustment, the time in one’s life when one is forced to realize what he/she has done and whether success has come to rest or to haunt. Once a work is completed, the composer is often painfully aware of how it could have been produced better. A person’s inner worth is often revealed when faced with experiences and periods of inadequacy, frustration, or defeat. These crises take their toll upon the body, require guts and fortitude, and great reserves of vitality. This house represents fundamentally, everything that deals with personal crises, the way to best meet them, and the direction of personal growth and transformation. The sixth house is somewhat karmic in nature by its perception or reason for duties, debts, and obligations.
The sixth house is known as the “house of health” and the sign on the cusp of this house indicates which body parts and organs prone to disease and affliction. Illness may be the direct result of some defeat of the vital energies unable to cope with a challenge to grow stronger, or an attempt by the soul to show a need for a revision in attitude.

SUN in 6th HOUSE
This is the cadent house of digestion and health, therefore when the giver of life is confined to the sixth, it is said to be partially robbed of its vitality. If not well-aspected, the native’s health may be impaired but one must not assume that because the Sun is placed in the sixth house the health will always be poor. “The stars impel but do not compel”, and since knowledge is power, even though the Sun may be badly aspected, if the person knows how to safeguard his health he can rise above the influence of the stars. If the person is placed in a humble environment, this position of the Sun denotes some promotion while in the employment of others. If he/she is an employer, this position of the Sun is good for success in business.

These natives should receive regular exposure to natural sunlight and be careful of their diets, avoiding artificial foods and chemical medications.
