What does it mean to be a life path number 6?
If you’ve just found out, or perhaps you’ve known your life path number for a while, you may be wondering exactly what it says about who you are.
There are some key things to consider, so let’s cover them here.
Life path number 6s are generally selfless people, living their life in service to others. You have a deep affinity for the life at home, and you nurture an extremely loving home. Familial love thrives when you are around, and you are always out to make sure everyone is treated and honored as they ought to be.
Life path number 6 is actually quite unique in its affinity for nurturing the wellbeing of others over oneself.
Most life path numbers are broadly self-motivated, getting their energy and drive from relationships.
But number 6s actively wish to put others above themselves—among other things.
Let’s find out more.
What is life path number 6 like?
At the core of a life path number 6 is perhaps a single word: empathy.
Life path number 6s thrive on nurturing the wellbeing of others, and particularly in family settings.
But family can mean really whatever you want it to—it doesn’t have to mean settling down with a spouse and multiple children.
That isn’t the kind of family which motivates every life path number 6.
There are certainly other things, too.
In any case, though, the family, whatever form it takes, is what the number 6 thrives on.
They live their whole life, to a degree, in service to others.
You wish to use your knowledge and wisdom to help others succeed, thrive, and simply be happy.
You are always concerned with what those closest to you are thinking and feeling.
You want nothing more for them all to be happy and at peace.
The home life does tend to strike true with the number 6s, though.
Often, you will be drawn to taking care of a balanced domestic environment, whether you are providing for it financially or not.
You wish to build a home life, whomever that may be with.
Perhaps the most important thing for a number 6 is that others are honored and recognized for their achievements.
You wish only that people strive to be their best, and that everyone sees and appreciates them for who they are.
This becomes a powerful thing.
Eventually, everyone ends up understanding the importance of one another, and thus are in turn honored themselves when the time comes.
Is 6 a powerful number in numerology?
Well, that is a somewhat loaded question, but the answer is yes, to a degree.
For life path number 6, this does also have some significant implications.
Often, the number 6 is thought to define completion and even perfection since that was the number of days in which the world was created in Genesis.
This feeds into what we were just saying.
You, as a number 6, are very likely to build a home equal in power, though in miniature, to the whole world.
This feeling of family for many can indeed stretch to include the entirety of humanity.
So, yes, number 6 can be seen to be a powerful number.
But power is not what you will get from numerology.
Power comes entirely from within, and the number 6 only describes who you are, it did not make you who you are.
For many, though, there is no act more powerful than building a home and a family.
Whatever your family looks like, you went through a great trial to build it up and create it, even if it doesn’t feel that way.
As you encourage others to honor their achievements, so too should you honor your own.
Who should a life path 6 marry?
So, who is a life path number 6 compatible with?
Given their family-oriented nature, you’ll not be surprised to learn number 6s are compatible with many different other types.
Life path number 6s should find themselves with life path numbers 3, 4, 5, 8 and 9.
With all of these, you can work together to build a family and a community, whether that’s at the home or a different idea of family.
You will likely find yourself avoiding 1, 2, 6 and 7, as, among other things, there is too great an individualism in these types which you may struggle with.
What careers are good for life path 6?
Family can manifest in the career, too, and so there are many ideal careers for such people.
You may be driven towards careers in education, like teaching or training other teachers.
This will allow you to spread the family-oriented behavior to others, which is vital for proper learning and understanding.
Childcare is another good choice for you, as we often don’t fully appreciate the role that child carers play in a child’s life and development.
You can be vital to their increasing understanding of the world, and there is perhaps no nobler calling than helping children understand the world.
So, life path 6 is all about family.
Family can, of course, take many forms, and we are not only talking about the kind of nuclear family of parents and children.
Families can mean your friends, your own parents, your wider family, local community—virtually any kind of family from which you thrive.
Number 6s are incredibly empathetic and can understand intuitively what other people are thinking and feeling.
