Sixth lord in the Good Spirit ♂ aversion

Ruler of the 6th House in the 11th House

The ruler of the 6th house in the 11th house puts work, service, routine and the care of the body into friendships, teams, networks and hopes for the future. The 11th is the sixth place from the 6th and does not see it, so the ruler is in aversion: the group takes the labour, and the person loses sight of their own load.

Work and service go to friends, teams and shared causes, often without a clear account of the cost.

The sixth lord in the Good Spirit

The 6th house is Bad Fortune (Kake Tyche), the house of work, service, employees, small animals, illness and daily upkeep. The 11th house is the Good Spirit (Agathos Daimon), the house of friends, allies, groups, patrons and the hopes one holds for the future. When the ruler of the 6th is in the 11th, the work of the 6th goes to the people of the 11th.

The 11th is the sixth place from the 6th, counting the 6th as the first, and the sixth place does not see the first. This is aversion: the planet governs the 6th and cannot see it. The ruler is among friends and turned away from the house of its own routine. The tradition reads this as a blind spot. The person is busy helping, and loses track of how much they give and what it costs them.

The planet depends on the sign on your 6th cusp. Mercury is the team's secretary, Mars the one who takes on the hard jobs, Venus the keeper of the peace, Saturn the long-term organiser, Jupiter the generous volunteer. Its sign and dignity show how freely it gives.

Teams, favours and unpaid hours

People with this placement are often at their best in a team. Collective offices, cooperatives, volunteer organisations, networks, associations, user groups and projects shared among friends are where they are useful. These are tendencies and not prescriptions.

Friends and colleagues merge. Their friends are often people they have worked with, and their work is often with friends. This is a strength, and it brings an informal economy of favours that nobody tallies. The aversion adds a blind spot: they may be the person who always does the unglamorous job and does not notice that the others have stopped offering.

Health habits tend to follow the group. Meals, sleep and exercise are arranged around meetings and shared tasks, and personal routines go first when a cause is urgent. The tradition links the 11th with the circulation and the ankles and the 6th with the daily upkeep of the body, but this is about habits and not about any particular condition. Medical questions belong with a professional. Personal hopes also wait. The future the 11th house points to can be postponed indefinitely in favour of what the group needs this week.

Counting what you give

Start with an honest tally. List what you do for the groups you belong to and what they do for you. Because the ruler cannot see its own house, a list on paper does the looking.

Set a limit for unpaid or voluntary work, and keep one personal goal that has its own hours in the calendar. Ask friends to take specific tasks, by name.

At its best, this ruler gives a person whom groups rely on and who is treated well in return. The tradition calls the 11th the Good Spirit because friends help a chart. The 6th house ruler there asks for a plain agreement about who does what, so that help does not run in one direction only.

Questions to reflect on

  • What do I do for my groups that nobody counts?
  • Which favours do I give that I would like returned?
  • What personal goal have I postponed for a cause?
  • Who in my circle could take over part of my load?
