One of the main significations of this house is the service. While we are in service, we face obstacles and opposition, and try to overcome them.

Health
Health is another important signification of this house. The condition of the Sixth House in Astrology and its lord indicates health issues and how we take care of ourselves in order to stay healthy and fit to fight another day and overcome obstacles. This house also signifies healthcare workers, medics, and doctors. As the house signifies enemies, it also signifies defense forces and physical fights or even war. If your 6th lord is a naturally beneficial planet then you most likely avoid unnecessary fights.
Banks & Loans
Loans and banking are other important significations of this house. The 6th house governs the loans we take in order to achieve our desires. A positive sixth house in a horoscope will help you gain out of debts – taking loans in order to make wise investments and achieve success. As a result, they gain profit and successfully repay loans. A negative sixth house will indicate the opposite – using too many risky loans on wrong and non-profitable pursuits.

In the case of a positive 6th house, there are mostly cordial relations and great harmony between employers and employees.
