Hi, I'm Joni Petrie, and welcome to my YouTube channel. Today I want to talk about the sixth house, which is the house of health. This is the house that we can determine someone's strength or weaknesses in accordance to their physical constitution and health matters. It's also the house that deals with work. So it deals with.
Your conditions around the workplace, your co workers, your employees. It can also deal with your relationship to your co workers, whether or not you have good, supportive co workers or. Or you have employees that may be a nuisance or steal or be problematic, or maybe they're great. This is all sixth house matters. It's also the house that says it deals with enemies. So this is the house that is open enemies. You know where they're coming from, and there's no denying it. It's also the house that deals with aunts and uncles. It's the third house from the fourth house. Third house representing brothers and sisters. So the third from the fourth is your mother's brothers and sisters or generally aunts and uncles. So you can see whether or not aunts or uncles are a problem or a benefit in your chart. Another very important aspect of the sixth house is pets. And if someone needs to know if their pet is okay or if it's time to adopt a new pet, you would always go to the sixth house. This is what this is for. So in terms of health, you can always see whether or not things are very stressful or if things are good with their health, if there's a healing. And remember, not only are you just looking at the planets in a house, but you look at the planets that happen to rule a house. So the planet that rules the sixth house will rule the health in these conditions.
So if it deals with health, it's going to deal with matters of digestion, deals with matters of how you process your food, your intake. And it can deal with anything to do with business that deals with food.
So it deals with the intestinal, digestive matters in life and in the body, so how you digest and process your food. Plus, this can deal with any type of work that falls in the alignment of the service industries. So whether or not you serve in terms of.
Waiters, waitresses, restaurants, this is the house of food service. So it can deal with restaurants, doctors, nurses, people that serve humanity. Remember, being the house of Health, it can deal with nutrition, how people look to their body in terms of the nourishment, how they eat. Anytime you have a ruler of the second house, which is the house, our mouth in the sixth House, they can deal with food for a career or for a job. Remember, the sixth house is more of your job and your work conditions. It is not your lifelong career generally because lifelong career and profession is the 10th house. The 6th house is your working day in to day out, activities, how your work is. And sometimes it could deal with work, but not long term career. Okay, so let's talk about some of the planets. If you have planets in your sixth house, malefic planets. By the way, the malefics are considered as Saturn sun, Rahu and Ketu. And Mars, if they're in the sixth house, they actually generate health. They make you stronger, they give you a strong immune system. You have the ability to fight back against it, disease. But too many malefics in the sixth house are going to cause problems. They say one malefic in the sixth house will give you a strong vital edge, a resistance to fight against disease. It won't keep you from getting sick, but it will give you the ability to get over illness quite quickly.
So if you have Mars in the sixth house house, this can cause you to have a strong, strong digestion, burning digestion. You probably have a good metabolism, it works strong, it works fast. But you can have high fevers and you could have some problems with the blood because Mars rules heat and it rules the blood and it can cause infections. That type of problem will be an issue. Okay, so also there could be problems with co workers, problems with the pets you you attain or get in your life. There could be problems because Mars is the planet of aggression. And also Mars in the sixth house can cause accidents. That's one thing I didn't mention. Accidents are a part, a key word for the sixth house.
If you have the sun in the sixth house, this usually gives great strength in vitality, strong health. But sometimes it can cause problems at work. Overbearing employees, overbearing relationships with your co workers. And you want to be the boss and people don't like it around the place of your work. You want to be in control. People don't want to be, don't want to work with you when you are too controlling. That's the sun in the sixth house.
If you have the moon in the sixth house, you've got to pay attention to your digestion. You have a weak stomach, foods really bother you. Pay attention to what you eat. Very important. Your digestion is not so good. You don't digest properly. And the moon can make you very sensitive to everything in the environment. So therefore this can cause some weaknesses health wise.
If you have Mercury in the sixth house. You are a good worker. You're a strong worker. You work well with other people, you coordinate, you communicate well with others in the workplace and you probably have a good strong digestion. Mercury is the ruler of Virgo. Virgo is in relationship to the sixth house because it is the sixth sign.
If you have Mercury in the sixth house, you're very adaptable. You're a chameleon at work. You're able to adapt to different positions and help one another. You could be a healer. If you have Venus in the sixth house, this is another indication of great strength. But pay attention. You could have problems with sugar overdoing. Sugar is not good for you because Venus is the sweetness in life and it's too much of a good thing.
Venus in the sixth house could make you work really well. You have great co workers, employees that really support you and help you out at times when you need it. Okay.
If you have.
Jupiter in the sixth house, this can make you very strong and healthy. But sometimes it can deal with excess overdoing of something. Be aware of this. But it can also represent a healer, a healer of minds, a healer of a counselor, someone who's there to assist and help others at all costs. And they reciprocate. They really come together and help you. This is a great coordination around work with Jupiter in the 6th House, great experience with pets. Pets are a major part. Small animals are a major part of your life.
If you have Saturn in the sixth house, Saturn in the sixth house can represent.
Problems with pets. But Saturn in the sixth house, you could actually do something with animals. Training animals, being disciplined with the animals. Somehow you can work with animals. Saturn in the sixth house can give you a strong immune system, but it could cause you to be dehydrated. Drink more water. With Saturn in the sixth house.
Also, Saturn in the sixth house could cause a disconnect with your with your employees or your co workers. You just don't connect with them. Likewise, the same thing is true of Rahu in the sixth house. You have a disconnect with co workers or employees most of the time. Also with Rahu in the sixth house, you've got an amazing immune system. It could make you very, very strong physically. Rahu in the six and you could get involved in healing in some way, some form of healing and helping others.
You're very interested in the healing arts and somehow do some important work that does help heal humanity.
You have Ketu in the sixth house. This can usually represent some kind of health problem. Pay Attention, there's an over emphasis onto health and you need to rest, take time off, because with Ketu and the six you overdo all the time and you need to take a break sometimes. Ketu in the six can make the physical stamina and digestion weak. So pay attention to that.
If you have Uranus in the sixth house, you could be prone to accidents as well as Mars in the sixth house. So be careful. This being impulsive and impatient never leads to good results. It can lead to accidents.
If you have Neptune in the sixth house. Something to always remember. Always, always get a second opinion from the doctor because you're prone to misdiagnosis. Neptune in the six also you're prone to allergies because you're overly sensitive to everything in the environment. And this makes you prone to allergic reactions either to foods, to allergens in the air, sensitivity to drugs of any kind, prescription drugs. You may have to take half the dosage that other people take. You're highly sensitized with Neptune and the 6th House House Health wise.
If you have Pluto in the sixth house, this can be overbearing people at work, overwhelming, controlling people around you when you're in the workplace, dealing with employees or dealing with co workers. And Pluto can represent.
Extreme over extreme about something physically with the body. So it can deal with things like excessiveness, maybe eating disorders or something like that. But be aware and be cognizant with any of these planets in the sixth house because they will deal with your health. By and large, the sixth house deals with health and if you don't have your health, you don't have anything. So with that I'd like to close.
