What 6 means
Six is the hexagon of the honeycomb and the hearth. It is the first perfect number (1 + 2 + 3 = 6 and 1 × 2 × 3 = 6), and the world was made in six days. Ruled by Venus, it is love, beauty, family, duty and healing. Sixes take care of everyone, keep the home warm and feel responsible for the happiness of those around them. The shadow is over-giving: control disguised as care, martyrdom, clinginess, comfort-eating and resentment when the giving is not noticed.
