In
the midst of my dabbling in esoteric things, I wanted to find out what
my personal number in numerology was. I was convinced that it must be a
7. 7 is my favorite number by far- and the meaning- even better: the
eternal student/philosopher/quest for knowledge/The thinker…. Totally
me! Upon researching it- turns out- I’m not a 7 at all. Sniff Sniff. In
fact, I’m a 6. Meehhh. OK- so what’s a six and why am I telling you
this? I think there is an important lesson that needs to be learned by a
6-and I think at some level- we all are a little 6.
Traits of a 6:
The
Life Path 6 suggests that you entered this plane with tools to become
the ultimate nurturer, and a beacon for truth, justice, righteousness,
and domesticity. Your paternal, or maternal, as the case may be,
instincts with a 6 Life Path exceed all others by a considerable margin.
Whether in the home or in the work place, you are the predominant
caretaker and family head. While the 6 may assume significant
responsibilities in the community, the life revolves around the
immediate home and family, for this is the most domestic of numbers.
Conservative principles and convictions are deeply ingrained and define
your character.
You
are idealistic and must feel useful to be happy. The main contribution
you make is that of advice, service, and ever present support. You are a
humanitarian of the first order. It is your role to serve others, and
you start in the home environment. You are very human and realistic
about life, and you feel that the most important thing in your life is
the home, the family and the friends.
This
is the Life Path related to leadership by example and assumption of
responsibility, thus, it is your obligation to pick up the burden and
always be ready to help. If you are like the majority with Life Path 6,
you are one who will willingly carry far more than your fair share of
any load, and you are always there when needed. In doing so, you take
ownership and often become an authority over the situation.
In
romance, the 6 is loyal and devoted. A caretaker type, you are apt to
attract partners who are somewhat weaker and more needy than yourself;
someone you can care for and protect. The main ingredient that must
prevail in the relationship is complete harmony. You don't function well
in stressful relationships that become challenges for you to control.
It is the same with friends, you are loyal and trustworthy. But there is
a tendency for you to become dominating and controlling.
It's
likely you feel compelled to function with strength and compassion. You
are a sympathetic and kind person, generous with personal and material
resources. Wisdom, balance, and understanding are the cornerstones of
your life, and these define your approach to life in general. Your
extraordinary wisdom and the ability to understand the problems of
others is apt to commence from an early age. This allows you to easily
span the generation gap and assume an important role in life early on.
The
number 6 Life Path actually produces few negative examples, but there
are some pitfalls peculiar to the path. You may have a tendency to
become overwhelmed by responsibilities and a slave to others; especially
members of you own family or close friends. It's easy for you to fall
into a pattern of being too critical of others; you also have a tendency
to become too hard on yourself. The misuse of this Life Path produces
tendencies for you to engage in over-expansiveness and
self-righteousness. Modesty and humility may not flow easily. Imposing
one's views in an interfering or meddling way must be an issue of
concern.
The
natural burdens of this number are heavy, and on rare occasions,
responsibility is abdicated by persons with this Life Path 6. This
rejection of responsibility will make you feel very guilty and uneasy,
and it will have very damaging effects upon your relationships with
others.
In
the midst of needing to be this caring helpful soul- there is that fine
line between helping and interfering – or loosing yourself in the
battle of trying to help. There is nothing more in the world I love
doing than helping someone else. Especially those close to me. I am a
natural born problem solver and if I can’t help someone, it just
frustrates the hell out of me, especially if there is an easy
solution-but people choose not to resolve their issues. It took me a
while to realize that some people do not want your help- no matter how
much they complain and grip about their situations or circumstances.
Even
more mind boggling- I truly believe that some people THRIVE on having
something to complain about or being the perpetual victim of life. How
could this be? It makes my eye twitch and keeps me up at night. That is
one thing I cannot fully wrap my mind around. Solutions everywhere but
not one step in the right direction to take any of them. Some people
prefer to stay lying on the ground when life knocks them down. The
difference is to recognize those who actually do need your help ask
those ask for it from the ones who don’t want your help and never asked-
a concept that has never occurred to me until recently. EEEkkkkkk. So
what now? Let people live their lives and learn
their own lessons. By attempting to interfere in someone’s problems, you
may be robbing them of a very important lesson they are intended to
learn on their own and very much need.
Have a flourishing Day! Be kind, do your best, smile because you woke up to one more day! New opportunities all around you!
What number are you??
