Chiron in the 6th house
The 6th house: Daily work, routines, service and health.
Here Chiron touches daily work, routines and the habits that look after body and mind. You may have felt that you were only acceptable when you were busy or useful, or that your efforts were never quite enough. Work can become a place where old worries about getting things wrong resurface. You might also feel uneasy about your own wellbeing, unsure how to care for yourself without being too strict or too lax.
The same sensitivity can grow into real skill in helping others with practical, everyday matters. You may be drawn to work that supports people, and you often notice what someone needs before they ask. Your own trial and error can teach you routines that are humane rather than punishing. Growth comes from treating rest as part of good work, seeking qualified help when your health needs it, and letting service flow from care rather than from a need to prove yourself.
