Astrological knowledge: the ecliptic defines your life (1)

The relationship with colleagues can also be seen from the configuration of the sixth house. People with Venus or Libra in the sixth house often fall in love with colleagues; Pluto and Scorpio often have inflammatory plots or other complicated experiences. The sixth house naturally forms an angle of 90 degrees with the third house. Early experience of getting along with peers and unresolved problems with brothers and sisters may reappear in the relationship with colleagues.

We can know ourselves in this unequal relationship through the working environment. At work, we may manage 30 employees or 30 other bosses. We can see from the sixth house how to deal with the distributed power and how to be subordinates of others. The seventh house emphasizes equal relations, and the sixth house is a bit like the rehearsal of the seventh house.

The sixth house can also see how we get along with people who serve us, such as car mechanics, family doctors, clinic receptionists and milkmen. On the contrary, we can also see our characteristics as "service providers" and our deep feelings and attitudes towards service from the configuration of the Sixth Hospital. Don't underestimate this. Many people think that humility and service are the ultimate expression of human beings, and even regard it as the road to divinity and enlightenment.

In addition, the sixth house can also reveal how we use time and what kind of atmosphere we need to live happily. The constellations and planets in the sixth house affect the energy we generate (or should generate) in our daily life, and also affect the process of these secular rituals. People in the sixth house of Mars may clean the house like a tornado, while people in the sixth house of Neptune may still be thinking about where to put the mop.

We can also see our pets from the sixth house. This may not seem like an important thing, but there are indeed many people who will be affected by the experience of caring for pets. A pet may be any kind of hook. For some people, their relationship with cats or dogs is as important as their relationship with people. In some cases, pets can relieve our unbearable sense of loneliness or uselessness, and when our beloved pets are lost or died, it may also lead to many psychological and philosophical problems.

There is an obvious relationship between work and health, which is also one of the focuses of the sixth house. Although the prevailing work ethics in western culture may be overdone or easily abused, human nature basically needs to be productive and feel useful. Too much work may be harmful to health, but too little work may also make people listless. Layoffs not only deprive people of their sources of income, but also cut off their sense of self-worth and purpose. Some studies show that in areas where the unemployment rate is rising, the proportion of patients will also increase. On the other hand, some people will use illness to escape from jobs they hate or are not suitable for.

The sixth house also discusses skills, perfection and technical proficiency related to health and work. In the most ideal state, a person's body should be like a perfect machine, and different cells in the body are striving for overall perfection. Each cell is independent and subordinate to a larger whole.

Every cell must do its own job, but it must also obey the needs of the whole. In a healthy human body (just like in a healthy society), each part must establish itself and live in peace with other parts. The sixth house requires us to form a harmonious relationship between body, mind and spirit.

Many powerful people in the sixth house will be particularly interested in health preservation, even to the point of infatuation. In some extreme cases, I find that some people will fill their lives with various special diets and skills, so as to keep their body functions in the best condition and have little extra time to care about other things. However, many excellent therapists do have a powerful sixth house, which may be related to traditional medicine or alternative therapies, such as homeopathy, osteopathy, herbal therapy or massage.

As we mentioned, body and mind are one. Thoughts and feelings can affect the body. On the contrary, the state of the body will also affect thinking and feeling. Mind and body are inseparable. The imbalance between physiology and chemistry may lead to psychological problems, and emotional and mental confusion may also be manifested in the body. The sixth house can reveal the psychological significance emphasized by some diseases. For example, Saturn's falling into the sixth house may mean that life is dull every day, but it may also represent arthritis.

People who fall into the sixth house of Mars may come and go in a hurry every day, consume their lives excessively, and finally be diagnosed with hypertension. However, if we think that the sixth house is only related to health, it is too simple. Eileen Naumann's American Book of Nutrition and Medical Astrology (Astro Computing Services Press, published in San Diego, California) discusses medical astrology in depth and is a good book worth recommending.

Through the topic of the sixth house, sublimate and purify yourself, make yourself close to perfection, and finally become a better "pipeline" and become the person who is destined to be. We may be the most inspiring artists (the fifth house), but unless we can learn how to use tools to show our skills (the sixth house) and use brushes, paints and canvases correctly, we will not be able to exert our potential and show our talents concretely. There was once a saying: "Skills are the liberation of imagination." This is also the most appropriate interpretation of the sixth house.

When we started our heroic journey in this life, we knew nothing about our uniqueness, but by the end of the sixth house, we should have deeply known our uniqueness and purpose. Just like the meaning of the third house, the sixth house is also responsible for breaking things down into different parts of left brain activity. The problem with the sixth house is that we often look at the world from the perspective of "what am I" and "what am I not".

When we distinguish ourselves from others by certain characteristics, such as weight, height, skin color, work, car and house, we can obviously feel different from him. The homework of the first six houses is to make us more aware that we are independent individuals, and the homework of the last six houses (seventh to twelfth houses) is to reintegrate with others, otherwise life will be too lonely.
