6th house “service” is
not concerned with helping others in the ordinary sense, for it is not others we
serve; it is God or the gods, whose natures are best expressed through those tasks
and skills which embody divine meaning. This work of building bridges between
earth and heaven is not always, or even usually, conscious in the individual. For
that matter, neither are any of the activities of the other houses, in terms of their
deeper levels. But planets in the 6th behave in ritualistic and apparently obses-
sional ways because we attempt to order and incarnate their archetypal energies
and patterns in ordinary life. And as any member of the clergy knows, the transper-
sonal powers are best channelled and contained within the fabric of ritual. - Liz Greene, The Astrological Neptune and the Quest for Redemption

Neptune in the 6th

One characteristic expression of Neptune's watery form-
lessness is hypochondria, where the individual fears the influx of invisible chaos,
and projects it onto the body through fantasies of fatal disease. Neptune in the 6th
may also be linked with mysterious ailments that elude orthodox medical diagnosis
or treatment. Such ailments may be largely, if not entirely, psychological in nature,
expressing Neptunian feelings of longing and helplessness on the somatic level.
The body itself may feel Neptune-prone, and highly sensitive to intrusion from the
environment. Allergies and skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis are not
uncommon, suggesting an inability to keep the outer world out. The element of
stress reflected in such symptoms may also be connected with Neptune, for the
individual may feel helpless and victimised when confronted with the tasks of
everyday living. - Liz Greene, The Astrological Neptune and the Quest for Redemption

Neptune in the 6th gives its best when one understands the nature of ritual, and the sacredness of the here and now. - Liz Greene, The Astrological Neptune and the Quest for Redemption
