Chiron in the 6th House ****************************************************************** The sixth house is concerned with health, adapting to the necessities, and coping with everyday things. The Chiron influence here can be connected with healing, but a shift in consciousness is generally required in order to better understand natural body rhythms. If you are frustrated by a sense of rigid control and critical thinking, you will need to integrate understanding and compassion for yourself and others. If for some reason you do not manage to do this, your body may react with tension or begin to show symptoms of illness. Fortunately it will not be difficult for you to understand the symbolic meaning of illness (weakness or disease often speak of an underlying emotional problem) and to incorporate this understanding into the overriding patterns in your life. In the course of your recovery, you may fundamentally change your way of life and your philosophy. Ultimately, you will be able to live your life in a holistic manner, finding a balance between being of service to yourself and others. In helping others, you will be able to encourage them to look for constructive opportunities for self-help.
