Aries in 6th House: Built for Speed, Not Boredom
Aries is a dynamic, quick, and straightforward sign. It doesn’t have time to waste and it’s quick to dismiss anything that doesn’t serve it. After all, who has the time to spend on things that don’t get you anywhere? When Aries is combined with the house of work, as the 6th is often referred to, there is a swift, no-nonsense approach in getting things done in both their professional and personal spheres.
The Meaning of The 6th House in Astrology
The 6th astrological house is linked to the sign of Virgo. Both the house and the sign are predominantly concerned with work, service to others, routine and wellbeing. It’s commonly referred to as the house of work but also the house of service and the house of health.
The sign on the cusp of each house often changes depending on the house system used. Most Western astrologers use the Tropical Placidus system (I use this one) but there are numerous other systems that can be used.
This placement means that Libra or Scorpio is usually on the first house cusp which is also called the Ascendant or Rising sign. Those with Scorpio Rising may be more direct and decisive than those with Libra Rising as they will be inclined to take their time weighing things up before reaching a firm decision.
Work and Employment
Aries is a one man powerhouse, especially when it comes to work. It’s vital, though, that these natives remain focused on what they are working on if they are to find success. Aries is easily bored so although these people initially show a tremendous amount of enthusiasm for a thing, unless they are utterly besotted with it, their interest and focus could wane. In some cases, the thrill of embarking on something new is what is truly exciting to them. Once the novelty fades, they may find themselves becoming easily distracted by new projects.
It tends to be all or nothing with these people when it comes to their professional lives. When embarking on a new job, venture, or project, they put their all into it because they want it to become a huge success. They want to win, be noticed and admired for their courage and power. If they have the opportunity to compete for something at work, like a promotion, they will always take it and aim to blow their competition out of the water.
They just love competing and coming first and they feel naturally inclined to start new things and set precedents. For instance, if they work in the field of medicine, they might be the first (or one of the first), people to work on a regenerative medicine project in their field or create a new medical device of some kind to help people.
Service to Others and Responsibilities
There are some signs which are happier to take on responsibilities than others. The Earth signs in particular (Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn) relish their responsibilities. While they absolutely enjoy being useful, they also need to retain their own freedom and autonomy. They don’t want to be weighed down too heavily with them.
Past a certain age, we all have responsibilities even if they are just to ourselves but if we have too many, or they are too time and energy consuming, then we might not have as much time to spend on other things that excite and delight us.
Those with fiery and easily distracted Aries in the 6th therefore need to have a thoroughly organized approach to their duties so that they can carry them out effectively and save time. A lot of physical energy is also often put into their duties so they can be carried out swiftly. In this way, they ensure everything they need to do gets done and plenty of time can be spent on other things.
Trivial Matters and Solving Problems
To put it plainly, trivial matters and petty disagreements bore them senseless. They have little to no interest in them at all. They see dealing with them as a waste of time. As their focus is on getting ahead, they will want to experience as few of them as possible. They may even go out of their way to avoid dealing with them or just ignore them.
When an issue arises that can’t be avoided or brushed under the proverbial carpet, they will aim to solve it as swiftly and succinctly as possible. If need be, they will stand and fight their corner with intense courage and vigour but the aim will always be to quickly resolve the matter so they can move onto the next thing they need to do. If they can afford it, they might hire someone, like a mediator or personal assistant, to deal with the details of things on their behalf so they don’t have to waste their own time, as they see it.
Daily Routine and Order
As I mentioned earlier, these natives tend to organise their responsibilities very well so that they can carry them our effectively and save time. The same tends to apply to their everyday lives to avoid wasting time on tasks and other things. However, as they tend to race through whatever they have to do in an average day, they might find they miss certain things if they aren’t all written down and if certain activities aren’t being planned in advance.
Without a firm schedule, chaos may rein because Aries can be prone to messiness and scattiness. They will want to get everything done as quickly as humanly possible but things are likely to be missed because of their haste. I’ve noticed this mostly happens when they feel directionless in life because once they set their minds on something, they suddenly become very organized, focused and disciplined so they can achieve their thrilling new goal.
Pets and Animals
These natives enjoy marching to the beat of their own drum. Their pet, however large or small should therefore be low maintenance. Dogs seem to be very popular with these people as they are a terrific match for Arien energy, enthusiasm and playfulness but they are high maintenance. Cats, on the other hand, are playful and loving but fiercely independent and relatively low maintenance by comparison so they might be a better fit.
Self Improvement and Wellbeing
Self improvement may feature heavily in their lives. They might be very concerned with maintaining a healthy physique and feeling energetic and clear headed. These are the sort of people who enjoy spending hours in the gym getting buffed or on a court socialising and competing with others. They might find themselves flitting from one healthy habit to another. They tend to enjoy trying out different workouts, foods, diets, and supplements until they find what works best for them.
There could also be a strong focus on living as naturally as possible. A lot of the skincare products a friend of mine with this placement were derived from her very own organic garden! She is an avid herbal tea drinker, eats a lot of whole, healthy organic food, and prefers to use natural remedies wherever she can. She also makes her own essential oils which she uses for a huge amount of things from adding a delicious fragrance to her home to scalp massage and more. She is truly passionate about her well-being and the well-being of her partner and children.
