Moon in Sagittarius in the Sixth House

With the Moon in Sagittarius, the Moon takes on a sparkle and brightness that it does not have in other sign. Sagittarius is the astrological sign of higher learning and breadth of vision. Here the Moon’s influence loses its passivity. If you have your Moon in Sagittarius you are noted for your quick, sharp mind, extraordinary insights, and an ability to get things done in a flash. Your clear-thinking intelligence sifts through sensory impressions swiftly and with startling lucidity.

Having your Moon in Sagittarius, you are the kind of person who envisions great goals and then, undaunted by possible failure, sets about achieving them. You rarely listen to advice about pitfalls and drawbacks, nor do you wait to find out if a plan is impractical or unworkable. With energy and enthusiasm you rush in and usually accomplish what you set out to do. One reason for your success is your keen judgment. With your Moon in Sagittarius, you have a way of seeing farther than people with their Moon in other signs.

As a Moon in Sagittarius individual you are fond of open spaces, travel, new people, and different surroundings. Among your most winning traits is adaptability—to different kinds of personalities and to foreign and strange places. Your immediate reaction to a new experience is to explore and learn more. With your Moon in Sagittarius, a chance to expand your horizons is always welcome, and you are not exclusively interested in making a profit. Money, in fact, does not stay long in your pocket or checking account. You feel that the whole purpose of money is to buy pleasure. You want to enjoy life.

As an individual with your Moon in Sagittarius, at times you can be quite careless and reckless. Since you believe in your luck, you tend to abandon yourself to whatever fate has in store. You operate on the theory of optimistic fatalism. The danger is that you may push your luck too far. However, a setback does not keep you down for long.

Having your Moon in Sagittarius, with renewed high spirits and a fresh outlook, you hitch up your wagon once more to the stars. Because of your charm and geniality, you have a knack for making friends. You also have a witty way with words and a buoyant sense of humor. Your social gaiety sweeps others along on a tidal wave of goodwill. With your Moon in Sagittarius, one of your most endearing qualities is your ability to perceive the best in people.

For the Moon in Sagittarius, when you criticize, you do so with such openness and candor that it is comparatively easy to take. Unlike the other fire Moons (Moon-Aries and Moon-Leo), Moon in Sagittarius individuals are not highly sexed and passionate. You look on love more as an adventure. You enjoy the thrill of discovery, the stimulating high of being in love, but you are unwilling to immerse yourself in deep emotional intensity. After a while your lovers may complain of your detachment or un-reachableness. Having your Moon in Sagittarius, a perfect soul-mate for you is someone who looks more outward than inward, and in time your love affairs become more like friendships. You are also noted for a roving eye and a refusal to be tied down to one person or one place. You need a lot of personal space and independence. This does not necessarily make you a bad marriage partner – you are a marvelous companion – it is just that you do have a certain lightheartedness about love and fidelity. Life to you, with a Moon in Sagittarius, means change and variety, and this attitude has a way of also applying to love.

The sign position of the Moon describes how we habitually respond to other people and to the circumstances of our lives, as well as how we experience our emotions and seek emotional fulfillment. Its house position corresponds to the area of life in which we operate most unconsciously, according to past patterns and instinctive responses.

Moon in the 6th House:

While the Moon in the 6th House placement suggests that you will have opportunities to refine yourself emotionally, there are also subtle conflicts inherent in this placement. The 6th House, ruled by Mercury, is associated with intellectual, rather than with emotional processes. Therefore, having your Moon in the 6th House, it may be difficult for you to relate to your emotions.

With your Moon in the 6th House, your emotional health is often a concern for you. In fact, if negative emotional tendencies are allowed to develop and persist, you are likely to suffer from emotional nervousness or a scattering type of neurosis. As an individual with your Moon in the 6th House, you may also be vulnerable to emotional obsessive-compulsive disorders, particularly if you are in the habit of fixating emotionally on minute details. If you are emotionally healthy, however, you can develop a capacity for nurturing and caring for others, assisting them toward greater health and well-being. If you are involved in serving others, however, you must be careful to take care of yourself, particularly with regard to stress.

Insecurities

Having your Moon in the 6th House, if you are inwardly insecure, your drive for emotional perfection may overwhelm you. You may be convinced of your own worthlessness and lack of love-ability. With your Moon in the 6th House, you constantly seek emotional comfort and attachment, but you fear rejection and criticism and, therefore, you coldly pull away from emotional commitment. You cannot get in harmony with your emotions, but instead you try to control them and “perfect” them. The result is that you place yourself under severe emotional stress and strain and this leads to neurosis.

As an individual with your Moon in the 6th House, you are likely to be emotionally anxious, overly protective and controlling of others, and generally fearful. You know that you have not been able to attain self-perfection and, so, you fluster your way through life, “sticking your nose” into everything and “acting like a mother hen.” In this way, your hope is that no one sees your own imperfections.

Focus of Emotional Development

With your Moon in the 6th House, you are likely to develop emotionally through a process of gradual refinement and movement toward some ideal of perfection. Your emotional development may have been guided or affected early in life by the guidance or criticism of your parents or caregivers. Depending upon the sensitivity with which you have been guided toward perfection (or with which expectations have been placed on you) your emotional development will have been either positively or negatively influenced.

With your Moon in the 6th House, you may continue your emotional development through self-improvement.  You may also spend your energy trying to undue emotional damage or you may remain emotionally inhibited. Later in life, it is probable that your work environment will afford you opportunities for further emotional development as you deal with issues of subordination, relations with co-workers and stress-management. You may also be confronted by health issues that cause you to further develop emotionally.
