Sappho in the 6th House
With Sappho in the sixth house, artistry and deep friendship concentrate in work, health, and daily life, so you may bring beauty and craft to your work and form close bonds with those you work alongside. The gift is artful, careful work and devoted everyday friendships. The shadow is a critical edge, or art and bonds reduced to duty. The growth is keeping the beauty and warmth in the daily grind. At your best you make ordinary work beautiful and your daily companions dear.
Lean in — Bring beauty and warmth into your daily work and companions.
Watch for — Reduce the art or the friendship to mere duty.
