About the 6th house

The question it asks: How do I work, and how do I look after myself?

How strong is Moon here?

Cadent houses (3rd, 6th, 9th and 12th) come before the angular houses and are about learning, adjusting and preparing. Traditional astrology treats these as the least prominent houses, and planets here are read as working more quietly and adaptively than those in angular houses.

The 6th house corresponds to Virgo, ruled by Mercury. Moon doesn't rule Virgo, so it is read as bringing its own style of emotions, instincts and what makes you feel safe to the house's themes.

House systems differ slightly, and the sign on the cusp of your 6th house adds detail. Your full natal chart shows the exact picture.
