Pluto Transits: 6th House

When Pluto transits the 6th house your need for transformation and power influences your daily routines, health habits and job. Pluto destroys and regenerates old structures and represents your need to be empowered and reborn in this area.

When Pluto transits the 6th house it brings intensity and evolution to your work and relationship to colleagues, your diet and health habits, illness and potential for healing, as well as pets and service. You may want to work in a Plutonian job, such as research and detective work, psychology, medicine, mining and working underground, refurbishing and renovating things, or secretive work.

There may be challenges at work that encourage you to change your approach and you may want to get a better job that’s more suitable, with improved pay or hours, for example, or doing something more meaningful to you. It may take a while to find the right job or settle into a new routine but you can develop a more fulfilling work life by the end of the transit.

You may need to confront old fears, emotional complexes, and obsessive or compulsive behaviour at work. There may be power struggles with colleagues or childhood patterns that are relived through office politics. Extreme feelings may return to your awareness so you can heal them and let them go. You can learn more about yourself by exploring these issues and you may discover new talents and gifts that you could develop.

You can also transform your health and habits as you become aware of what works and what doesn’t. You may try to push yourself too hard and overwork or not get enough sleep and this could cause health problems. Your health could breakdown if you haven’t been taking care of yourself but this allows you to let go of unhealthy patterns of behaviour and improve your wellbeing.

This transit is the perfect time to strengthen your body and become more resilient by improving your diet and exercise routines, but you may need to be careful not to become obsessed in your quest for health. Be especially careful with fads and extreme diets or trying to force yourself to heal. Learn to listen to your body and honour its needs.

The point of the 6th house is to bring your inner and outer life into balance so the soul can express itself through the body in daily life. Examining your habits, health and work can reveal how you see yourself and what you might need to change in order for your life to be a better reflection of the real you.
