Chiron in the 6th House
With Chiron in the sixth house, the old wound sits in work, health, and the texture of your days, so the body and the fear of not being good enough carry an ache. Often there was early illness, criticism, or a sense that you had to earn love by being useful. As you face it, you become a genuine healer in practical, daily ways. The gift is compassion for the struggling body and the imperfect effort. The work is treating yourself with the care you give your work. At your best you help others heal in the ordinary fabric of life.
Lean in — Treat your own body and effort with the care you give your work.
Watch for — Earn your worth by being endlessly useful and never resting.
