What the 6th house governs
The 6th house rules enemies, debts, disease, service, daily work, competition. Read it through three things: the sign on the cusp, any planets sitting in it, and the condition of its lord elsewhere in the chart. A house is rarely judged by occupancy alone — an empty house is not an empty area of life.
