The 6th House is often called the House of Servants. This idea of “servants” describes the way in which you contribute to the world by doing work. What do you actually do and how do you do it?
Sixth House business also includes your health and how you take care of yourself.
With a stellium in the 6th House, your job or craft and your relationship to your health may play a pivotal role in your life, and your work-life balance could be intense, out of the ordinary, or lacking depending on which of your planets are included in your stellium.
Your 6th House stellium planets meld and blend their efforts together, combining pieces of your mind, body, and spirit to work together through your 6th House.
The stellium in your 6th House will be a major player in your chart reading in addition to your Big 3 (Sun, Moon, and Ascendant).
So what might it mean for your life to have a stellium in the 6th House of your natal chart?

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

- 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.
