Number 6 • Ruled by Venus
Numerology Number 6: The Nurturer
In numerology, number 6 is the number of the nurturer. It is ruled by Venus, the planet of love and beauty, and stands for affection, harmony and responsibility. Warm and devoted, number 6 gives its heart to family, home and the people in its care.
Personality
People who belong to number 6 are caring, responsible and naturally drawn to beauty and harmony. Guided by Venus, they love comfort, art and good company, and they carry a strong sense of duty towards their family and friends. Others lean on them easily, because they give willingly and create warmth wherever they are.
Their difficulty is giving too much. They can become anxious, controlling or self-sacrificing, taking on everyone else's problems while forgetting their own needs. Their path is balanced care — looking after others without losing themselves in the process.
