The 6th house is the repeating part of life: work routines, daily order, care of the body and health habits. It is not the profession itself but its day-to-day practice.
It should not be confused with the 10th house: the 10th describes what the career is, the 6th how that work gets done every day. One is the job title, the other the working hours.
Health traditionally belongs to this house, but it is not a medical indicator; what it describes is your everyday relationship with your body. No astrological placement can diagnose an illness.
If the house is empty
It is often empty. Its ruler shows which area of life the daily routine is tied to.
