Ruled by Venus, the 6 is the heart of the home — nurturing, responsible and drawn to beauty. Sixes carry others' burdens naturally and make wherever they are feel like a haven.
Their growth is learning that care includes themselves, and that love need not mean control. A balanced 6 is the warm, steady presence a whole community leans on.
