SIXTH
HOUSE MARS
The
House of Work and Health - The field of service
Employment
and employees. Duties, practical responsibilities, and mundane tasks. Daily work. Servants and dependents. Pets and small animals. Diet.
Sickness and health. Hygiene and sanitation.
People
born with Mars in the sixth house are seldom afraid of challenging jobs or of
heavy labor involving cutting instruments. They are hard working and
industrious but are liable to overexert in their determination to cope with a
multitude of details. Many serve in the armed forces or in trades such as
metalworking, engineering, and sanitation. Often they belong to unions.
Employment
in large corporations, civil service, or the teaching professions appeals to
them more than the idea of going into business for themselves, since they
prefer to get on with the tasks to be done and leave the headaches of
administration to others.
Although
they are keen workers, they are seldom diplomats and may clash with
subordinates with whom they can be quite exacting in their demand for
efficiency.
On
a more physical level, there could be a tendency to suffer from skin
complaints, with rashes or allergies causing annoyance when they are under
stress or coping with any tense situation.
Here
is someone who is probably one of the world's workers, and while there will be
little patience with dreary, boring routine, they are energetically
disciplined and aim to carry out the daily round of work with military
precision.
The
assertive side of Mars may not be quite so noticeable here, but a willingness
to serve and be energetically helpful will be present.
There
may be a tendency to nag when annoyed.
