"Slow and steady wins the race"

Here’s what you’re here to do if you have Sun in the 6th house in your birth chart.

If your Sun is in the 6th house, you came into this lifetime with the goal of refining or perfecting something within yourself.

You’re the type of person who feels like there is always room to grow. This can be motivating or paralyzing for you, depending on how many tasks and objectives you’ve taken on. But you are definitely at risk of becoming so engrossed into perfecting something that you can indeed fall into analysis paralysis.

Despite always feeling like there’s stuff to be done, things to fix, and reparations to be made in your life, you also have to remember to face the fact that you can’t do everything at once. You need time, compassion for yourself and patience to build the life you want to obtain. In fact, the secret of this house is that even if you get everything you ever wanted, there will still be room to grow and fix something for you. So, it’s not really about “getting somewhere”, and way more about the journey itself.

This house placement is very interesting, because having the Sun here ironically creates some obstacles to your ego. For example, you are more likely to be overlooked, or treated as if your worth is tied to what you give to others and how useful you are. As a result, your ego naturally clashes with these imposed expectations from others (and even imposed by yourself), creating friction within your identity.

This is precisely why you feel like you always have to fix yourself. It’s a natural, innate need you carry inside. This will never go away, and the challenge is to embrace that part of yourself.

You are the fixer, but you should always remember that you’re not here to fix others if they’re not willing to do the work. You are — more than anything — here to fix yourself through patience and perseverance.

This house, because it is tied to Virgo, gives you sort of a “Virgo personality”. Your soul is guiding you to create something lasting and truthful, but it also wants you to create this through honest and consistent effort. If you try to skip the steps required to get there, you will not be satisfied. You have to learn to appreciate the quiet and unglamorous side of life and growth in order to truly evolve.

The Sun in the 6th house can be quite demanding and humbling, but it’s worth all the effort it is asking us to put in. You actually become happier, satisfied and balanced in life just because you are following what your Sun is telling you to do. What your soul is guiding you to do and be.
