Astrologers: Thoughts on an empty house with gotchas...?

I'm looking at a chart with no planets in the sixth house, with some interesting other details: On this chart, the sixth house is in Gemini. Both Gemini and Virgo are ruled by Mercury. The scout planet for this chart is Mercury. I'm having a toss-up on how to think about this. I'm tempted to go with the idea that because the house itself is empty, but it is doubly ruled by the scout planet (in Gemini, no less), this house will be very stongly influenced by the position and aspects of Mercury at a given moment. What do you think? Any other good takes?

Update:

added detail: the subject's Mercury is in Pisces, which in this chart has the second house. For what else it's worth, Mercury on this chart is square Saturn in Sagittarius (12th) house.

Update 2:

But it's FUN tripe.

    Hmm. After careful consideration, I submit that it's all utter tripe.

    If the house you are adddressing in your line of analysis is an issue relating to the 6th, then focus on a Gemini Mercury rather than a Virgo Mercury. And if Mercury is NOT in Gemini, then that house is not supported for stability and becomes vulnerable to aspect influneces from other planets (if any). To speak of the 6th now, and if there are no other aspects to the 6th, the displacement of Mercury from the 6th (as the ascendant) will give clues as to how the 6th house will operate in the subject's life experience. For instance, if that Mercury occupies the 8th, then the subject will not be able to function well sexually, experience sex-related health problems, and he would face adversaries and major obstructions from people that are not of his own race. Too bad you didn't state where the subject's Mercury was. Good luck with your analysis.
