[6th House/Virgo/Mercury] -
The 6th house is your overall health. Planets placed in this house are a direct clue to health issues, especially in transit. When Mercury is here, it can lead to variations of hypochondria, especially if aspected by Uranus. Those with Venus here will likely overeat, unless placed in an obsessive Mercurial sign, which can turn to strict diets and eating extremes or eating obsessions in worst case scenario. Having Neptune here can make it difficult for you to get an accurate diagnosis.

Transits to this house can cause periods of isolation, imprisonment, self reflecting or periods of mental instability or mental breakthroughs.
