What Mercury in the 6th house means
A practical worker with an eye for detail: systems, health, analysis and service.
Mercury stands for your mind, speech and learning. The 6th house is the house of daily work, health, habits, service and animals. Put together, Mercury spends its energy there.
The 6th house belongs naturally to Virgo, a sign Mercury rules, so it feels at home; the 6th is one of the hard houses of tradition (6th, 8th and 12th), so Mercury works through effort, crisis or retreat.
