What it means

About Mars

Mars is your drive: how you go after things, how you get angry and how you get moving on a Monday. It's courage, sex drive and the urge to win, all in one slightly sweaty package.

About the 6th house

The 6th house is the daily stuff: your job, your to-do list, your body's needs and the habits that hold a life together. Less glamorous than the 10th, more useful most days.

Mars in the 6th, sign by sign

The sign Mars was in changes the style. Find yours.

Aries →You attack your to-do list like an opponent, thrive on fast workouts and tight deadlines, and get twitchy when the job turns slow. Taurus →Patient effort is your superpower at work, outlasting everyone, though persuading you to change your methods takes a small miracle. Gemini →Multitasking gets you through the working day, and short bursts of exercise suit you because long, samey routines bore you rigid. Cancer →Emotional investment makes you work hardest, and you look after colleagues like family, though your mood and your health are closely linked. Leo →Daily work needs to be noticed for you to give it your all, and you'll train harder at the gym if somebody's watching. Virgo →Work is your natural arena: you love a system and a healthy habit, though you can run yourself ragged trying to perfect them. Libra →Fairness is what you bring to the office, though tasks can be hard to start until someone else gets the ball rolling. Scorpio →Laser focus helps you dig until problems are solved, though you'll quietly hold a grudge against a colleague who crossed you. Sagittarius →Freedom in your daily work matters, and routine bores you unless it involves moving, exploring or learning something along the way. Capricorn →A tireless worker who loves structure, you need discipline that includes rest, not just another early start. Aquarius →Reinventing work routines with new systems comes naturally, though rules that make no sense bring out your rebellious streak. Pisces →Meaningful work gets your best effort, and since your energy rises and falls with your mood, gentle routines help.
