The sixth house is work as routine, health, and daily craft. Jupiter there dignifies the small task. The native believes the work matters — not the career, the work — and applies to a shift the seriousness other people reserve for a vocation. Such natives are the ones who train the new staff, cover the difficult rota, and turn a modest post into something considerably larger than its description, generally without additional pay.
Employment tends to be steady and to improve by degrees rather than leaps. Colleagues benefit from the placement: this native lends money, hears the trouble, and finds the person a better job elsewhere without regretting the loss. Service is offered in an unmartyred spirit. Health is generally robust, with good recuperative power, and illness when it comes tends to be the consequence of enlargement rather than of weakness.
The cost is the load accepted without complaint. The native takes on the third responsibility, then the fourth, and is unable to identify the point at which the arrangement became unreasonable. Standards are generous to the point of imprecision, so detail suffers while the whole is being attended to. And the constitution, expansive by nature, requires more discipline than the native is inclined to supply — the placement's characteristic ailment is simply too much of something pleasant.
