Starves on

One-way relationships, however grateful the other party

Fed by

A home, a circle, and being missed when absent

A Soul Urge 6 wants to be at the centre of a small number of lives. Not admired at a distance: needed up close, by name, in the ordinary way. Sixes are frequently the happiest of the numbers, because this want is more available than most — and the unhappiest when it curdles.

It curdles when the need is one-directional. A 6 giving to people who take is running the same programme with none of the return, and because the giving itself feels virtuous, the number can stay in that arrangement for a decade without naming it.

Strengths

  • Builds the close ties it wants and keeps them
  • Steady, warm and actually present
  • Makes ordinary domestic life feel like enough

Challenges

  • Stays where the giving runs one way
  • Needs to be needed, which distorts the help
  • Feels rejected when someone becomes self-sufficient

What it needs

Mutuality. Being needed is only nourishing when the 6 is also allowed to need.
