The secrets of 6th house in your chart
How to hack your daily habits for productivity & prosperity, and design your day with purpose.
I wrote this piece for my mailing list already in August 2024, and it’s incredibly relevant for this moment - as we’ve just moved into Aquarius season with the new moon in Aquarius marking the Lunar New Year on the 29th January.
This past weekend I was hanging out in South-Estonia with my amazing friend from London - Pei from InMi Space. We talked about her new daily routines, breathwork, 5AM club, and how life-changing these new habits have been for her.
I was SO impressed about her passion and determination to kick-start consistent change from one day to the next, and thinking, wow, I wish I'd have this kind of drive!
How does one gather this boundless ability to keep going, day-after-day, with specific routines and practices that create such change?
How can some of us keep their consistent routines with grace and almost no effort, while the others go around in circles?
The secret (or at least part of it) lies in your 6th house.
We checked our natal charts and Pei's 6th house is governed by Aries / Fire. Th energetic archetype for this goes something like the below:
I'm going to change things NOW and start from the beginning
Nothing will stop me, I'm a change warrior and slay the distractions & nay-sayers
I will keep going no matter what - my inner fire burns bright and with passion
I'll be the inspiration and role model for others and help them to make confident changes in their lives
My 6th house on the other hand is Aquarius / Air - a totally different story!
Aquarius is placed as the second to last sign on the zodiac wheel and is already rather etheric and borderless, only beaten by Piscean waters. For me, it's ALL about absolute freedom in my daily flow. I want to be able to be detached enough to feel into the energy of the day, and make decisions moment by moment.
This means, it's notoriously challenging to keep going with any rigid routines or steady practices as it feels like imprisonment and forcing. This makes it feel like pushing for something that is not even aligned with my blueprint, and wouldn't actually benefit me in the same way.
It's essential to know your system, to become self-aligned. Aquarius / Air in your 6th house does NOT mean that you don’t or can't have any routines, they just need to be designed differently. For instance, you could block a certain time in your calendar daily, but keep the content in a “to-be-decided” form and flexible. Or - have a list of daily routines, but keep the freedom to play around with the time each day.
Update from Now / Jan 2025:
For Aquarius energy, every “must” feels like death. Each external action wants to be driven by inner choice & sacred dedication, as well as personal trial & error, rather than following a herd. It’s about observing the evolution of humanity, the conversations on the ground, and then allowing your own Soul to lead.
I mean, is it fascinating or what?!

very interesting, as this is an important topic for me right now. does it depend with which system we check our 6th house? and which site do you recommend to get our zodiac?
