The Sun in the Sixth House of the Relocation Chart

By knowing into which House the planets move when relocating to another city, one can understand the overall pattern of how their destiny will unfold. When constructing a relocation chart, it is important to convert the time to Greenwich Mean Time; the main birth data remain the same, with only the geographic coordinates being updated to the new location. The planetary positions in the signs remain unchanged, but the House cusps can shift significantly, which means the stage and the circumstances in which the native will play the role prescribed by their natal chart scenario also change.

The Sun in the Sixth House is the karma of a hard worker. Even if the native is engaged in creative pursuits, they will have to work for ten. This is not considered the most fortunate placement upon relocation, but again, interpretation depends on many factors. The need to work in a subordinate role and to focus on health comes to the forefront, and if there are favorable aspects, this can bring success.

Features of the Sun Moving into the Sixth House in the Relocation Chart

It is important to determine from which sector the native’s Sun enters the Sixth House. When moving west, it shifts counterclockwise; to the east, it moves clockwise. Moving westward activates energies of renewal, which is very favorable for the Sun. The native feels a drive, energy, and can even appear younger. An eastward move brings wisdom and encourages steady personal growth.

Of course, to ignite the Sun in the Sixth House, westward movement is preferable if the person’s goal is professional fulfillment in the new place, while for retirees, an eastern direction may help ensure a peaceful old age.

Depending on the chosen location, the Sun can move into the Sixth House from the Fifth or Seventh House. Both are related to relationships, so if the native has already established a family and has no desire to flirt or pursue multiple romances, but only wants to build a career, this is an ideal option.

However, one should not rule out the possibility of a workplace romance for those with the natal Sun in the Fifth House, or meeting a future spouse for those with the Sun in the Seventh. This will simply be a secondary, side effect of professional activity. The relocation chart does not cancel the fate prescribed in the natal chart; it just shifts the emphasis to different circumstances in which it will unfold.

If the Sun moves from the Seventh House, it is best to be in a subordinate role in a business partnership, while the Sun in the Seventh House is more about equality or leadership (especially if in a Fire sign). However, the Sixth House implies service and subordination, though it is still possible to shine and hold a significant position—the leadership role simply belongs to someone else.

Likewise, the Sun originally positioned in the Fifth House natally will become dependent on a work partner or, in matters of health, on a doctor.

The Sun in the Sixth House of Relocation and Health

Very often, a couple of months after relocating, the native feels an irresistible urge to focus on their health or undergo medical examinations. In this sense, the Sun’s influence is beneficial, as it provides a chance to detect a problem early and address it.

However, much depends on the aspects to the Sun. If a person is moving for health reasons—wanting to change climate, move closer to a medical facility, or in preparation for an operation—it is essential to carefully analyze the connections between the Sixth, Eighth, and Twelfth Houses and their rulers.

The effect can be the opposite, and treatment may not yield the desired results if there are many squares. At the same time, this does not indicate a fatal negative influence—it simply means many obstacles will have to be overcome.

If the aspects are favorable, especially between the rulers of the First and Sixth Houses, one can expect improved health, relief from chronic fatigue, or recovery from ailments.

The Sun in the Sixth House and Work

Even if the native did not intend to work hard, after some time following relocation, they will feel inspired to build a career or become interested in an exciting job opportunity.

In any case, the native will be able to actualize themselves precisely through service. This does not necessarily mean a subordinate role. Michael Jackson, for example, had the Sun in the Sixth House—he truly worked tirelessly, rehearsing day and night, but his creativity was also a mission: to bring new melodies to the world, to inspire, to raise social issues. Thus, self-expression can manifest not only in service industries, but also in creative fields.

However, with challenging aspects, a person with high status may have to give up privileges and accept simpler conditions or a more modest position.

Negative Influence of the Sun in the Sixth House

It is much easier to adapt to this new energy if the Sun is in Fire or Air signs. Even with tense aspects, the native has enough inner resources to fight and overcome obstacles. Loved ones and close people will help—if the Sun moved from the Fifth House, or spouses and partners if it shifted from the Seventh.

However, those with the Sun in Earth or Water signs may fall into depression (especially after having been at the center of attention, joy, and pleasure in the Fifth House), as restrictions and the need for physical labor become a serious test for them.

What used to come easily thanks to personal charm must now be earned through real actions and by proving professional competence. Moreover, in this situation, the native may start to focus solely on work, neglecting their personal life, saving money, and denying themselves simple pleasures—which is absolutely inadvisable. A balance between work and leisure is needed.  ✓
