♄ Saturn · Cadent house
Saturn in the 6th House
Saturn in the sixth house is the working placement: discipline in the daily job, and a body that requires management.
The sixth house is routine, work and health; Saturn is structure. The tradition reads considerable capacity for sustained unglamorous effort, and a person who is genuinely good at the parts of a job that require patience.
It is associated with chronic rather than acute health matters, particularly involving bones, teeth, joints and skin, and with the discovery that a strict routine helps more than any intervention.
The characteristic error is endurance. This placement will keep working through something rather than address it.
What this placement does well and what it costs
What it is good at
Any role requiring reliability over years. Administration, craft, medicine, maintenance, and long-term care.
What it asks for
Overwork treated as normal, and a body that has been carrying something for a long time before it is mentioned.
The two halves of this placement
A planet says what, a house says where in a life it happens. The sign it sits in says how, and that is a third reading again.
This placement needs your birth time
Your Saturn sign depends only on the date. Its house depends on the horizon at the moment you were born, and the whole framework rotates by one house roughly every two hours. An hour of error moves about half a house, which is frequently the difference between this page and the one next to it.
If a free chart gave you houses without asking for a time, it assumed one, usually noon or midnight. Check the placement before you build anything on it.
Where is your Saturn?
The chart is free, takes a birth time, and gives you every planet by sign and by house, with the aspects between them.
