Mars in the 6th House directs the planet's energy toward your work and health. The house tells you where the planet expresses itself; how it does so depends on the sign it occupies.
How Mars works in the 6th house
Work keeps you feeling tense. You're used to working energetically and throwing yourself into the task, and you love seeing the results of your efforts. You often rush too much, overlooking important details that come back to haunt you later.
You're frequently intolerant of coworkers who take their work lightly. In any case, there's always at least one colleague who irritates you or with whom you particularly struggle to get along. You can also have trouble with management, partly because you tend to argue, take more initiative than is welcome, and make decisions on your own.
Mars gives you muscular strength and extra stamina. You need regular physical activity to stay fit and energized. After a long period of inactivity, you feel weakened and find it hard to get back to work.
What the 6th house governs
The 6th house in your birth chart governs work, workplace relationships, and health. It describes your relationships with employees, colleagues, and bosses, as well as your place on the team: how much you're valued and respected, and so on. The sixth house has another meaning, too: it reveals your predisposition to illness and recommends a particular lifestyle or the diet you need.
What Mars represents
Mars's zodiac sign in your birth chart governs your energy: how much you have and exactly how you use it. Mars also represents decisiveness, a drive to act, a tendency toward aggression, your masculine side, and sexual desire.
