SIXTH
HOUSE SATURN
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.
While
there is an ability to work very carefully and hard, there may be an obsessive
adherence to routine, and perhaps even a tendency to grumble continually about
one's lot in life, since the work being carried out may not be what one really
wants.
There
is often a reluctance to change, however, since risk-taking can be rather
frightening. Such an approach will, of course, relate to a lack of
self-confidence and an over-critical attitude toward what is being achieved.
A
person with Saturn in the sixth house will be conscientious and dutiful, even
when obliged to toil at dull chores. This position gives competence in
secretarial and clerical work, bookkeeping, editing, and tasks requiring
prolonged attention to detail.
It
is advantageous for difficult jobs, since the mind can be induced to
concentrate on the task at hand. A stolid exterior may mask a tendency to
worry and to harbor hidden anxieties which can affect the health.
This
is a house of health, so Saturn's placing here may indicate a weakness towards
the ailments attributed to the Saturn sign. More generally, there may be
rheumatic aches and pains, and perhaps a particular vulnerability to damp
weather conditions.
Especial
care should be given to the teeth, and perhaps one should take extra calcium
to strengthen teeth and bones. (Calcium is also good for all women after
menopause, and particularly for those with this placing.)
