This may sound a little complicated, but it's not if you think about it. The most obvious thing that can work for or against your relationships with others (who are symbolized by your Seventh House) is you, so the Sixth House immediately becomes related to work and services performed for others, either you working for others or others working for you. A century ago, this house may have been seen as the house of the servant, but with so few people employed as servants in today's world, this connection no longer makes any sense.
The sign and planets associated with your Sixth House symbolize how you feel about working for others and how you feel about others working for you, while the signs and planets associated with your Seventh House symbolize how you feel about working with others as equals. The Tenth House is related to your career while your Sixth House is related to your job. This is an important distinction. As is the one between the Sixth House and the Twelfth. The Twelfth House in astrology focuses on charity and philanthropy practice by you, but the Sixth House is instead focused on charity and volunteer work performed by you. The physical body is usually the center of the message of the Sixth House.
Because of the Sixth House's associated with the use of the body while performing work, it has also become associated with the ideas of bodily health and hygiene. This leads directly to an association with food, including the growing, cultivating, preparing, and eating of it. This is why the practice of healing is ruled by the Sixth House. The signs and planets associated with your Sixth house can symbolize not only the kind of work you might do, but can also explain your general attitude toward food and health.
The Sixth House is ruled by the planet Mercury and the sign Virgo.
