Houses
The 12 Houses of astrology are symbolic of the all the departments that make up human life. The planets and zodiac signs will manifest themselves most strongly in the sphere of life represented by the House in which they fall on your chart. Houses are not "energies" like the elements or planets, nor do they color the expression of energies like the zodiac signs do. The houses are WHERE these energies are most likely to manifest. The houses are the fields of experience, not the experience themselves.
Chiron in 6th House
Chiron in your 6th house creates a significant connection with medicine or healing. The body/mind balance is critical to those who have Chiron in the sixth house because Chiron's rulership of this house is the prime example of how we must know Chiron by experience. This house teaches that the solutions we find in work ultimately lead the way toward integrating into the adult life. The key to resolving Chiron in the sixth house is understanding that work itself is healing therapy. And we can heal ourselves and others by observing the healing process in the body and imaging a better flow of healing electricity.
You may have problems with your health and attitude to service. It may occur in areas of work, health, and service to the community. You may have a tendency to control the body through rigid diets and exercise a need to organise the chaos of life into strict patterns. You may have emotional issues mirrored in the body through psychosomatic symptoms or be obsessed with detail and perfectionism leading to crisis in expression of skills.
Chiron is about healing and the reconciliation of that pain and struggle. Ultimately, it is about finding a workable balance between our physical and divine natures – between our animalistic and survival nature and our higher mind and awareness. Healing comes from being of service to others without denying the self and learning to accept the ordinary mess of daily life without trying to control it.
Chiron in the 6th house is quite good for people who work as healers themselves. Chiron in the 6th can indicate an inclination to become a psychotherapist or elsehow support people that are in need. Nevertheless, this does not necessarily have to be an official profession.
