"It is so easy to ignore the 6th house as it has a reputation of being a boring house. To me it represents the salt of the earth. Regardless of our otherworldly pursuits - we all have to live on this earth in a semi-organized fashion. I think of the children's story The Ant and the Grasshopper. The ant prepared for the winter, gathered food for his pantry and wood for his fire, so that when the winter came he was prepared for it. The grasshopper just played and played, so the ant ended up taking pity on the cold, hungry grasshopper standing at his doorstep. That ant - isn't that 6th house? I'll let you draw the conclusions on the sign or the house of the grasshopper (did he get stuck in the 5th as he just wanted to play and have fun?) I only have my south node in the 6th - the understatement of the century. It isn't a glitz and glamour house rather it is a solid and grounded place. Isn't this where we learn to tie our shoe-laces, to open up the box of cookies or can of soup? This is where we learn to cope with daily chores, tasks that we need to perform in order to cope with life - the basics: eating, sleeping, working and not only surviving but thriving."
