Mercury in the 6th house — work with information and nervous workdays

What it means

Work often involves papers, data, messaging, schedules; you do well at what requires attention to detail. Lists and order in your affairs help.

The flip side is anxiety and nervous tension: information overload affects sleep and stomach. It's hard to switch off work thoughts.

This isn't about you if your work involves no documents, no data and no messaging.

How to check it on yourself

Check it against your past — write your answer down before you look at the chart.

  1. If your Mercury is in the 6th house

    What should match. Recall an ordinary work day. At least half the time goes to messaging, documents, calculations or schedules.

    When it’s not about you. Less than half — this isn't about you.
