Saturday, MAY 21
The Sun has just entered Gemini, bringing the fresh energy of a new cycle. However, the inferior conjunction of the Sun and Mercury happens today, and we’re looking back before moving forward. It gives us a unique window into the past as it might impact our future. We begin looking at problems or issues from a new perspective and with a new understanding. Significant new ideas are born at this time, and they’re likely to have real staying power or importance in our lives. What we say or write now has an impact, for better or worse!
However, we may not have all the facts necessary to reach a definite conclusion, and we might later have to revise plans or decisions. It’s a good idea to take notes, as we may not yet see the significance of what we’re discovering and what new ideas might come from these discoveries.
This alignment occurs just after the Sun entered Gemini and just before Mercury moves back into the sign of Taurus. The Moon spends the day in Aquarius, and we’re inclusive and concerned with what’s best for all.

I plan on discussing my natal chart on the stream tonight.
The topic involves the 6th house. Information about the 6th house is below and it is shared from here.
The Sixth House: The House of Health
The Sixth House is commonly referred to as the House of Health. Implicit in maintaining good health is the ability to cope in the face of adversity, and this theme rings truest in the Sixth House. As human beings, we naturally have shortcomings.
What will we do with them? How will we react in the face of a personal crisis? Crises, illnesses and reversals of fortune are all part of our Earthly trek. How we confront these situations and deal with the lessons they invariably teach us helps to define the person we become.
Our fears may hold us back, but if we can meet them head-on and come out stronger on the other side, we may learn the valuable lesson of service or what our life’s work should be. Work and service are central to the Sixth House. The focus here is on employment (employers and employees), training, those who serve us (along with those we serve) and those who depend on us. Keeping ourselves strong throughout these efforts is also important here, which is why this house further focuses on health (good and bad), diet, fitness and hygiene.
Essential to the work we do in life is the work we do on our self. Duty, responsibility and personal growth all contribute to the creation of a fully-realized being. We work for others as well as for ourselves; we are at service to those who need us, including our own being. There will be times when crises of health or faith will stand in the way of our best self. At those times, we must endeavor to heal ourselves (again, the focus of this House is on health) so that we can return to the work of realizing our sum potential, of serving our world.
The Sixth House also addresses the daily dealings of life: what will I wear today? Do I need a haircut? Has the dog been fed? These simple matters keep our engines humming and enable us to do the more important work of our choosing. It’s a patchwork quilt: the ability to serve others in health and through work, which is both valuable and fulfilling.
The Sixth House is ruled by Virgo and the planet Mercury.

The 6th House:
The 6th house in astrology is the house of work and chores. It corresponds with the sign of Virgo and its rulers Mercury/Saturn. This house governs the realm of everyday living and the tasks we perform on a routine basis. Additionally, it concerns our work life, our health and self care, our hobbies and our pets. Acts of service are also highlighted here and the nature of how we take care of ourselves and other people especially those who depend on us like elderly family members and pets. The 6th house can indicate how conscientious and helpful we are and the ways in which we are so to others. The 6th house also covers our dietary habits and illnesses. It represents our methodology and craftsmanship and the way in which we handle our responsibilities and obligations.
The Planet Pluto:
In astrology, Pluto is the planet of death, and regeneration. It is associated with violence and revenge but also power and healing and also penetrating insight. Pluto is transformative and brings about a metamorphosis that is necessary for survival, overcoming and moving past deep tragedy and painful emotions. Pluto is intense but introspective. It calls for solitude and secrecy and conceals its weakness and vulnerability from those who would exploit it. Pluto possesses martial energy like Mars, but much of it is sublimated into less overt and public ways. It operates in a more clandestine manner cloaked in darkness from which it can observe but not be observed. Pluto desires to wield power and control but unlike Aries, it is more subtle and psychological in how it goes about attaining it.
Pluto in the 6th House Natal:
Pluto in the 6th house of the birth chart is a planetary placement indicating a strong and compelling drive to perform day-to-day tasks and responsibilities. People with this placement are thus very driven to get things done and they tend to exercise a lot of control over how tasks are performed. They can be very particular and obsessive about doing things their way. They dislike a lot of oversight and interference by others and prefer to operate either in an authoritative capacity or independence fashion. Moreover, Pluto in the 6th house can yield a remarkable capacity to push themselves to the brink of their abilities and rise to the occasion to meet challenging deadlines.
When it comes to jobs and occupations, these individuals may be drawn to lines of work that are somewhat taboo, dangerous or hazardous. Regardless of what jobs they perform, they may have a tendency to snoop around and look into things a little more than what the job necessarily calls for. They can be remarkably responsive and competent under pressure and within emergency situations. They inherently have an intuition about imminent danger and the need for preparation. They may be keen on stocking up on supplies, tools and resources in anticipation of potential disaster situations that they don’t want to be caught unprepared for.
It can be however, that the Pluto in the 6th house person sometimes anticipates things that are bizarre or taboo by conventional standards. They have premonitions that can be sometimes prescient but also cockamamie, at least by other people’s estimates. When it comes to health, these individuals may have very strong constitutions. They are keen on fortifying themselves against disease and other health problems so they can endure and live a long and robust life. Under this placement however, there is potential for accidents and misadventures in the workplace. The workplace can often be detrimental to their health.
Despite whatever trauma they may experience in the performance of their duties, it will likely only inspire them to work harder. Pluto in this house can foster a strong emphasis on the power of determination and willpower to rise above crises and accomplish objectives at almost any cost. They are all or nothing and when they decide to pursue a course of action, they do so with a great deal of resolve and passion. On the other hand, within the workplace they may get involved in a number of conflicts and contentious disputes with co-worker or superiors. Their ability to work well with others can be hampered by overbearing tendencies and temper flares. Diplomacy and tact may not be their strong suit but if the dedication and passion they bring is recognized and appreciated, these shortcomings may get overlooked.
In the 6th house, Pluto engenders great powers of concentration and work ethic. They may have a tendency to overwork themselves and push themselves at the expense of their physical well-being. Furthermore, people with this placement have a pension for embracing the dirty work that other people do not have the strength of heart to handle. For whatever reason, they may find themselves doing jobs that are dangerous or dark in nature such as handling nuclear waste, digging graves or performing autopsies. Psychologically, a lot of the work that they pursue may be with the intent of compensating for hidden weaknesses or fears. They are inherently driven to confront their fears or perform tasks that are meant to prevent their fears from manifesting.
On another note, Pluto in the 6th house can manifest people who are gifted healers and effective psychologists. They have powers of perception that can aid them as effective problem solvers within the workplace. They may especially have a penchant for understanding dark psychology and psychoanalyzing destructive behaviors. As practitioners and workers however, the Pluto in the 6th house person can sometimes lack good bedside manner and can be very blunt and sharp and also cruel with the way they handle others and their sensitivities. They themselves may project an aura of toughness that belies the insecurities and fears they harbor with relation to their capabilities as a worker. Additionally, they can be impatient with what they perceive as incompetence or challenges to their abilities and professional Knowledge base.
