This placement fosters a stronger focus on the health and wellbeing of both themselves and others. Additionally, they derive pride and a sense of ego worth from doing a good job and performing their duties well. In the 6th House, the Sun dedicates more of its life giving energy and radiance toward the edification and support of others in its care and in reliance of them. In the 6th House, the Sun can enhance the degree to which one identifies with their work.
People with this placement in either their natal chart or as a transit will find it important to do work that they can feel proud about doing. They may also have a stronger need for recognition and appreciation for what they do. If they feel denied such acknowledgement, they can easily feel snubbed or undervalued by peers. Their sense of self worth and self respect can make it difficult for them to tolerate such disregard. Sometimes, ego can get in the way of their best interests. The Sun in the 6th House can bring a tendency to be pushy and sometimes self entitled in the workplace especially if the placement is negatively aspected.
