Mercury in the 6th house

The sixth house is the everyday: work, habits, routine, and the ongoing care of your body. Mercury sits well here — traditionally, astrologers read a sharp, practical mind that sorts, plans, and improves the small machinery of a day. You notice what is off and want to fix it; a good list can genuinely settle you. The shadow is worry that dresses up as analysis, especially about the body, where the kinder frame is attention and rest, not endless troubleshooting. Care works better as steady rhythm than as a problem to solve. Some of your routines genuinely support you and some you're only enduring, and much of the ease here is simply learning to tell the two apart.
