How are work and health affected when transit Neptune conjoins the 6th house ruler?

This meeting with the planet of daily life lasts one to two years; because of its retrogrades, Neptune often crosses the degree of the 6th house ruler three times. On the approach the pace of work starts to feel draining and order slips; at the exact passes a job change or a deep shift in health habits comes onto the agenda; as Neptune separates, a more meaningful daily rhythm takes hold. If the ruler is Mercury, communication at work gets muddled; if it is Saturn, rigid routines loosen.

Service, healing and everyday rhythm

Possible scenes: the person is drawn to work in healthcare, caregiving, social services or the arts; role definitions at work become vague; the body grows more sensitive, reacting more strongly to foods or medication; a pet brings a tender bond into life. Volunteering can become a major source of fulfilment.

During this time it is important to put job descriptions in writing, consult a health professional about physical symptoms, build regular sleep and eating habits, and take fatigue seriously. For the longer influence of the house transit, see transit Neptune in the 6th house.
