Priorities and details—these are the key words for Saturn in Virgo and the 6th house. Oh my goodness, that doesn’t sound like much fun, does it? But with this placement you will actually have more fun and a richer life if you keep circling back to prioritizing things and cultivating an attitude of “awareness” to details. You can think of those details as mundane “shoulds” and rebel against them, or you can frame it as the philosopher Krishnamurti did, when he repeatedly asked us to “wake up” and bring our full awareness into what we are doing.
With this placement you have been blessed with the “big picture of things” and are wise in so many ways that the rest of us aren’t so wise—you hold a unique wisdom of Love and the Ideal that is unique to this position. But it will be important to your personal success to bring awareness to the “little things in life” by bringing extra attention to prioritizing the flow of events in your daily life. Learning how to discriminate between what is important to do at the moment, and what is superfluous will be critical. Your heart is in the right place; it’s getting your head down to this reality that’s sometimes the challenge.
Another challenge—and opportunity—for you is to learn skillful means of doing things. Taking the time to master techniques and tools, whether it is life skills such as cooking and caring for your car or child, or mastering a trade or profession—these are important. If you can be humble enough to allow yourself to be mentored and to learn from others, the process will be easier and more efficient. You don’t always have to re-invent the wheel by yourself! Until Saturn in Virgo or the 6th is mastered, you may suffer from misplacing your talents, from dis-ease, and the continual sense that things are breaking down or getting lost—i.e. “mercury is retrograde” could feel like a life-long disease.
