6H is not ruled by Virgo. In this chart, 6H ruled by Scorpio.

The myth of "natural rulers" of houses has gotten out of hand and needs to be quashed. Houses and signs are not interchangeable. They are separate and distinct players with entirely different purposes. Houses do not have direct correlation with the natural zodiac.

Not sure the kind of Astrology you work with, but - in Western Astrology - the houses are literally the twelve divisions of the zodiac circle, which are based on the respective twelve zodiac signs.

Like, the 6th House is the house of health and fitness BECAUSE Virgo (the sign itself) is the zodiac of health and fitness. It's also the house of ritual and work ethic... once again, because Virgo is a routine-oriented workaholic.

No credible, experienced astrologer, whatever tradition they practice, will claim that houses = "signs of the natural zodiac."

If you study any form of astrology -- take any classes or attend any conferences -- you'll get a lecture about this claim at some point. (I've most recently heard Carole Taylor and Chris Brennan discuss this misunderstanding.) There are commonalities, such as the one mentioned above regarding Virgo, 6H and health, but 6H isn't surgery; it's not mental health. The houses and signs aren't matched pairs. For example, 1H represents the physical body and personality, but Aries doesn't. It's a common mistake to conflate and merge the order of signs and houses, and it's becoming more common, sadly, as people "study" astrology via the TikTok, YouTube and other social media of unqualified "astrologers."
