Eros in the 6th House
With Eros in the sixth house, the erotic life-force concentrates in work, health, and daily life, so desire is expressed through attentive care, competence, and the intimacy of small devoted acts, and passion can infuse your work. The gift is a devoted, attentive, quietly intense eros. The shadow is a critical edge that cools desire, or passion suppressed into mere duty. The growth is letting yourself be wanted, not just useful. At your best your passion turns devotion itself into intimacy.
Lean in — Let yourself be desired, not only useful and attentive.
Watch for — Suppress passion into duty or cool it with criticism.
