黄道十二宫是根据地球南北极连接而成的线为轴心，每二十四小时自转一周而来的。

The Sixth House is ruled by the Sign Virgo and the Planet Mercury.The Sixth House is commonly referred to as the House of Health. Implicit in maintaining good health is the ability to cope in the face of adversity, and this theme rings truest in the Sixth House. As human beings, we naturally have shortcomings. What will we do with them? How will we react in the face of a personal crisis? Crises, illnesses and reversals of fortune are all part of our Earthly trek. How we confront these situations and deal with the lessons they invariably teach us helps to define the person we become.

Essential to the work we do in life is the work we do on our self. Duty, responsibility and personal growth all contribute to the creation of a fully-realized being. We work for others as well as for ourselves; we are at service to those who need us, including our own being. There will be times when crises of health or faith will stand in the way of our best self. At those times, we must endeavor to heal ourselves (again, the focus of this House is on health) so that we can return to the work of realizing our sum potential, of serving our world. 中文大意：
黄道十二宫中的第六宫由处女座掌管，守护星是水星。一般将这一宫称为“健康”宫。处女宫揭示了对自我健康关心的程度。像我们应该如何应对疾病，面临危机时有什么样的反应等等都是处女宫反映的问题。
除此之外，第六宫还影响着个人对工作的热爱、及用以实现自我才华的效益。我们既为他人也为自己工作；工作中常会遇到信任危机，每当碰到这种情况，我们必须学会自我疗伤以便在工作中最大程度的发挥自己的潜能。
