Number 6 in Numerology

Number 6 and Venus

Number 6 belongs to Venus, Shukra, the teacher of the asuras in the Puranas and the planet of love, beauty, art and comfort in Vedic astrology. Number 6 carries this energy of harmony: it values relationships, home and creative work, and it likes life to be graceful.

Number 6 as Mulank (birth day number)

Mulank 6 belongs to people born on the 6th, 15th or 24th of any month (1 + 5 and 2 + 4 both make 6).

As a root number, 6 is described as warm, artistic and devoted to home and relationships. A Mulank 6 person tends to make guests feel welcome, notice beauty in small things and care deeply about family.

Number 6 as Bhagyank (destiny number)

Add every digit of the birth date for the Bhagyank. For 06-12-1995, 0 + 6 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 9 + 9 + 5 = 33, and 3 + 3 = 6.

Bhagyank 6 suggests a life that grows through love, family, beauty and creative work. Responsibilities at home often shape the path, and the satisfaction of 6 tends to come from creating comfort and harmony for others.

Personality, strengths and what to work on

Venus gives 6 charm, good taste and a gentle manner. This number tends to be generous, sociable and loyal, and has a gift for smoothing tensions in a family or a team.

• Strengths: charm, a sense of beauty, care for family and a talent for harmony
• Work on: over-indulgence and avoiding conflict that needs to be faced
• Helpful habit: moderation in comforts, and calm honesty when something is wrong

Career tendencies

Venus rules the arts, luxury and pleasing things, so 6 tends to suit design, fashion, music, film, beauty and wellness services, interior work, hospitality, jewellery and the arts in general. Its warmth also fits counselling, teaching and family-centred work, and its eye for comfort fits hotels, food and events. A pleasant workplace matters a great deal to number 6.

Relationships and friendly numbers

Venus counts Mercury and Saturn as friends, and Rahu is read as Saturn here, so the friendly numbers of 6 are 4, 5 and 8. A 6 often finds a 4 dependable, a 5 good company and an 8 steady and sincere.

These show a tendency of easy understanding, not a rule. Relationships are central for 6: it tends to be romantic, devoted and attentive, and grows when it lets a partner see its own needs as well as its kindness.

Venus's day and colour by tradition

Friday, Shukravar, is Venus's day, and white and pastel shades are its colours. Venus's direction is South-East and its deity is Lakshmi, often worshipped on Fridays. The mantra of Venus is Om Draam Dreem Draum Sah Shukraya Namah.

Diamond is Venus's traditional gemstone, with white sapphire as a substitute; consult an astrologer before wearing any gemstone.
