What Neptune in the 6th House means
The 6th House is the realm of work, of the everyday, of health and of routines — of the patient service to the necessary — and Neptune permeates this sober order with compassion and a fine permeability. Your work draws you to where there is helping, tending, easing or shaping; a mere breadwinning without meaning drains you. The lord of this house is Virgo with Mercury, so it is about order, precision and structure — Neptune dissolves precisely these fixed procedures, so that plans run off you and regularity comes hard. Your body is sensitive and permeable: complaints often stay diffuse and hard to name, and you react strongly to remedies, substances and the mood of your surroundings. On the axis to the 12th House, that of retreat, you need in the everyday constant breaks of stillness, or your fine perception overflows. Where others see the service as a duty, it becomes for you a quiet form of devotion.
