What Does it Mean to Have a 6th House Stellium?

You are capable of learning and growing from experiences from every house in your birth chart, but having multiple planets in your 6th House could mean that this house will be extra significant.

Your stellium could bring 6th House business to the forefront in your life, exaggerating it or making it more of a constant. Some of these parts of life described by your 6th House include:

  • The work or craft you choose
  • Your work style
  • The way you interact with coworkers
  • Mentorship you seek in your job or craft
  • How well you monitor your health
  • Your relationship to exercise and wellness

With the possibility that 6th House matters could be heightened or a recurring theme in your life, some pitfalls to watch out for could be:

  • Workaholism
  • Obsession with fitness or diet
  • Ignoring your health
  • Struggling to find the right type of work for you
  • Too serious or not serious enough at work
  • Strained relationships with coworkers
  • Difficulty setting boundaries on how hard you will work for or help others

Of course, how you experience your stellium in the 6th House will be dependent on the planets included in your stellium and the condition of the rest of your natal chart.

The list above may or may not be challenges that you face, but with a stellium in your 6th House of Servants, this list could be matters that you “check in with yourself” about and reflect on.
