Your Pet(s) in Astrology
Have you ever wondered if astrology could describe our pet(s) and if they show up in the natal chart? Well I’m here to give you an answer— yes, it indeed can!
The sign and planets in the 6th house of your natal chart will give you clues about your pet’s overall personality and may even describe how they contribute to your daily routines. There’s a possibility that your pet has the element or sign of your 6th house as the dominant energy within their own natal chart or even as their sun sign.
Of course, not all of us can check our own pets’ natal charts... But as long as you have yours, you can certainly get a glimpse of theirs. Otherwise, it would be really interesting to check your Synastry in order to see how you two bond and challenges surrounding the relationship! Now what if you don’t have a pet…? Worry not! This post is here to tell you what type of pet or animal you would be compatible with. It can also give you an idea on your future pet’s traits— if you decide to have one, of course!
Please take the information with a grain of salt if it does not resonate, as astrology can manifest in many different ways— other than the suggested notes below (◠ᴥ◕ “∆)

*CHECK YOUR 6TH HOUSE SIGN & PLACEMENTS*
Fire
Natives who have this element governing the 6th house may find their pet(s) to have very energetic, spontaneous, active, independent, and assertive personalities! There’s a possibility that the pet(s) may portray aggressive, impatience or irritable behaviour at times as well.
Aries (Mars)
The pet may have a very active routine that requires daily walks or exercise. They may even enjoy playing a bit of fetch or enjoy hopping on the wheel! No matter the animal, they’re energetic and might enjoy the outdoors due to their need for movement and personal space or freedom
Play fighting, love bites, masculine energy, and not taking no for an answer
Aggression or self-assertion is a possibility since this particular animal may have experienced abuse or mistreatment in the past. It is perhaps even a defence mechanism, especially if they were previously a stray
They could potentially have their own idea of a routine and simply does whatever they want despite their native’s orders! This is due to the fact that they have a sense of self-confidence, leadership, and can be impulsive in their desires
Usually, this pet is quite healthy and robust since they may often be active. Although if there are any health concerns, it would likely revolve around the head, eyes, face, brain, blood, adrenal glands, and muscular system
Leo (Sun)
The pet is warm and generous towards their owner, as they enjoy attention and wouldn’t be afraid to seek it in dramatic, performative or creative ways! This is the type of pet that may cry or make noises at you just so that you’ll give them some love
There may be some potential abandonment issues that have caused the pet’s need for attention and special care or treatment
Perhaps they may even give you gifts they found around the house, from their neighbour’s yard or even at the park— no matter what it is, they’re hoping you’ll appreciate their offer of affection
Since Leo and the Sun governs the inner child, playfulness, entertainment, and pleasure… You may find your pet being quite energetic and creative with their own time! You could possibly find them enjoying Disney or cartoons whenever it’s on screen
The main concerns regarding their health may revolve around the hair, spine, thoracic vertebra, heart, marrow, spleen, and cardiovascular system
Sagittarius (Jupiter)
The pet may be quite adventurous, and perhaps wouldn’t mind going on backpacking trips with the owner or simply travelling along the neighbourhood
There’s a curious and witty nature to the animal, as they are constantly on the go and discovering new activities to stimulate their minds!
It’s quite likely that they enjoy their own freedom. Although they won’t mind getting a walk or two in during the day with you because that’ll allow them to see the world. They’ll get to see other breeds of their own species or other types of animals!
This pet may have come from a foreign country, have a name in another language… or may even respond to different languages due to being domesticated within a home of multilingualism
Significant physical traits or potential health concerns may revolve around their thighs, hips, bum, sciatic nerve, locomotion, coordination, liver, and neuromuscular system
Earth

Taurus (Venus)
The pet may be a bit stubborn or resistant to change. Therefore it may have taken them awhile to adjust to their living standards or a bit of time to warm up to you
There may be a particular toy or material possessions you’ve given them that they value quite dearly since it provides them with comfort and groundedness
Since physical materiality is quite important to this pet, they may seem somewhat self-indulgent or often demanding of food or beauty within their surroundings. In some cases, they might even do some redecorating themselves!
People may often compliment on how pretty your pet is since they have a Venusian aura
They may not particularly enjoy getting "trained” or can seem lazy… But this is simply because they just want to relax and chill

Virgo (Mercury)
The pet may be very communicative, intelligent, and receptive to the native’s demands or training! They learn quite quickly and may even form a closer bond with their human if they were able to use talking buttons
They may be particularly interested in challenges or games that have patterns to them or generally stimulates their mind
Perhaps they will influence the native’s daily routines since it may require more structure, attention to hygiene or cleanliness. This could potentially be due to personal reasons such as allergies… or the pet is simply picky regarding their food, routine and needs structure
They can seem quite critical of their native and how they run the home, haha ⊹ Potential medical concerns would revolve around the abdomen, intestines, nerves, pancreas, and digestive system
Capricorn (Saturn)

Perhaps they need structure in their lives in order to feel satisfied or healthy. This is due to the fact that they might have an anxious nature that needs to be tamed through rest and a bit of freedom

There’s a possibility that they may portray cold, detached, scattered or anxious behaviour at times as well.
Gemini (Mercury)
This pet may actually be more happy with a sibling, so there’s a likelihood of the native having more than one pet through this placement
They may potentially have social or separation anxiety since they’re a very outgoing pet that needs to communicate or have mental stimulation of some sort
Perhaps they also enjoy having short distance travels around the neighbourhood, as they’re inquisitive and adventurous in nature! There’s potentially a desire to make new friends too

Libra (Venus)
The pet is likely beautiful and charming in appearance, as there may be a symmetry or balance to it
Similarly to the 6H Taurus pet, they need a pleasant, pretty, and comfortable environment to live in! This is especially due to the fact that Libra governs harmony
The native should watch out for mental stress in this pet since they may hold in their emotions out of their non-confrontational nature, if they felt like something was done unfairly— Libra also governs justice after all
Ex. Not giving them a treat when they want or in more serious cases, suddenly moving their bed elsewhere in the home… as they won’t understand the reason
They likely value relationships and will want to form a close bond with the native or another per within the home
If they give you a soft attack… It’s because they think you deserved it and they’re making sure you’re being treated fairly
Potential health concerns of this pet may revolve around the kidneys, bladder, ovaries, skin, thyroid, and urinary system
Aquarius (Uranus)
This pet may seem quite friendly and unique in appearance or even personality! There may be particular traits they have that stand out to others. Perhaps they seem quite chaotic and unpredictable in behaviour at times
Those who have this placement may actually have a very rare or unusual animal as their pet!
You may want to take them out to community parks or have play-dates with other friends’ pets since Aquarius governs friendships— having your pet interact with others may keep them mentally stimulated and satisfied

The potential health concerns of this pet may revolve around the ankles or calves, venous circulation system, nerve impulses, electrical system, and parathyroid
Water
Natives who have this element governing the 6th house may find their pet(s) to have very emotional, gentle, sensitive, considerate, comforting, selfless, intuitive, and empathetic personalities! There’s a possibility that they may portray moody, depressive and/or shy behaviour at times as well.
Cancer (Moon)
The pet is likely to have an emotional attachment to their biological mother, the native or feminine figures in particular
There is a need for nurturing, comfort, and a safe space at home! They may be more of an indoor animal than not, since they value the security they have at home with the native
They are potentially moody and this could even affect how they eat as well! Therefore fluctuations in their weight or health is very possible
Perhaps they may have been separated from their mother quite early, so they have developed a need for love and affection… The native may even find healing from them as well
The significant traits or potential medical concerns this pet may have would revolve around the breasts or chest, stomach, uterus, digestive system, and salivary glands
Scorpio (Pluto)
The pet can be quite destructive at times since Scorpio/Pluto governs that very action after all… So you may find them knocking vases over or scratching away at the sofa
They are very likely intuitive and can feel the native’s emotions quite easily, and therefore may be personally affected by the emotional currents within the home
Trauma or abuse may have been experienced prior to the native giving them a home, so trust was needed and once it was there— the bond intensified and loyalty is given
The pet is surely strong willed, especially since it has to endure problems from within. There’s perhaps a constant transformation in the daily routine or environment— one specific manifestation may have been constant rehoming
The potential health concerns of this pet may revolve around the intestines, bladder, genitals, and reproductive system
Pisces (Neptune)
The pet embodies sensitivity and provides an incredible healing nature to the native. There’s a likelihood that they can instantly feel emotions within their environment, due to their hyper-awareness of “the hidden”…
((your pet might be psychic or spiritual ( ‘◉⌓◉’))
Seemingly an old soul or perhaps a guardian/familiar or reincarnated ancestor
They could potentially become affected emotionally and health-wise from a lack of routine or structure, so the native should be on the look out for this
There’s a possibility that the pet may specifically eat more when they are feeling emotional, but otherwise there’s a bit of confusion surrounding the pet and its health or wellness
The potential medical concerns of this pet may revolve around addictions, paws or claws, body fluids, pineal gland and the lymphatic or immune system
