Compatibility · Marriage — one of the strongest in the set
Number 5 and number 6 — The Traveller and the Nurturer
Excellent — one of the highest-rated pairs, and the reason is that each wants what the other has.
100/100
Excellent match
Scored from the classical friendship between Mercury · Budh and Venus · Shukra, taken in both directions — planetary regard is not always mutual.
Mercury and Venus, mutual friends. The 5 is drawn to the home the 6 makes and the 6 is drawn to the life the 5 brings back into it. Neither wants the other's role, and both value what the other supplies rather than merely tolerating it.
The single failure mode is the 6's anxiety about the 5's movement. If the coming and going is read as a verdict on the home, the 6 begins to hold and the 5 begins to leave — the exact dynamic that destroys an otherwise excellent pairing.
It works when
The 6 reads the 5's movement as its nature, not as a verdict on the home.
It breaks when
The 6 holds tighter and the 5 stays away longer. Both accelerating.

Numerology compatibility reads two numbers, not two people. It is a way of naming where a relationship will predictably need effort — useful, and not a prediction. A low score has never ended a good relationship and a high one has never saved a bad one.
