6 LIFE PATH: The Nurturing Visionary
A person with a 6 Life Path is a natural nurturer, visionary, and champion of justice.
You lean toward love and marriage like the proverbial “horse and carriage.” If you choose not to be a parent, you’ll parent in other ways: with pets, co-workers, and friends. There’s a distinct nurturing quality to you, which is coupled with a heightened sense of responsibility.
Have you ever noticed that people are drawn to you, almost as if you’re a magnet?
Do people come to you with their problems and ask for your help? Do people place you in positions of responsibility even though you don’t ask for it? These are all aspects of your vibration that you need to get used to, and embrace. If you dislike being “the responsible one,” you’ll live a life of frustration and resentment.
Knowing that more responsibility will be thrown your way allows you to utilize your innate skills and talents in these areas with a compassionate heart.
Your life’s work resides in consciously balancing your sense of responsibility — not too much, not too little.
You’re brilliantly creative and must find ways to use your creativity constructively. Many 6 Life Path’s are extremely musically gifted or are gifted with other artistically creative endeavors.
Just know that “responsibility” is a key theme for you throughout your life. Spoiler alert: It won’t go away.
In any event, domestic tranquility is actually the goal for you, no matter what you’re doing. You’ll prefer to manage or own your own business, since you find it hard to work for others.
You also have trouble taking advice or instruction from others. Let’s face it — you’re a bit of a control freak. Just understand that this is something you’ll need to take a look at every once in a while.
Another major element of the 6 Life Path is being visionary. You have a gift of seeing the bigger picture and can’t understand why others can’t. Given your visionary qualities, you’re also a perfectionist.
When you’re feeling unappreciated, undervalued, or overwhelmed, your tendency is to feel self-righteous, lofty, and superior to everyone else, and you make no bones about communicating this to those around you. You wonder why everyone can’t be like you, think the way you do, and share your same values. You often feel everyone else is “wrong” because they don’t believe the same things you do or behave in the same manner as you.
You’re a connoisseur of beauty. You seek to beautify the world in whatever fashion you can. Many 6 Life Paths are drawn to careers in the beauty industry, including the fields of makeup, hairdressing, and interior design.
You’re an “If you want something done right you just have to do it yourself” kind of person. You want to feel indispensable and then resent being indispensable, even though you’re the one who set it up that way.
The bottom line is that you’re working optimally when you’re seeing the perfection in everyone and everything at whatever juncture they’re in with their own process. That includes you. When you let go of the “should” and instead rely on your wonderful sense of nurturing, compassion, and service, you’ll be the most content.
Common threads when a 6 Life Path is “on fire” and working with optimal energies are being reasonably responsible and capable of allowing others their own journeys without judging and criticizing them, allowing for personal imperfections, being nurturing, and trusting in a personal vision of the “big picture.”
Your Life Path Explained
How to calculate your Life Path Number
If you’re only going to know one number in your entire Numerology Chart, I’d recommend that you know your Life Path Number.
This number is derived from your birth date and indicates your ultimate life’s purpose. Knowing your Life Path Number gives you solid direction about what you’re meant to be doing in your life.
Yet also understand that what we came here to do will always be the most difficult thing for us to do. That’s why it takes a lifetime! Why would you sign up for a degree program where you’d already earned a Doctorate? You’re here to learn something new and your course requirements are revealed to you through your Life Path number.
Always know that the key themes of your Life Path number indicate exactly where you’ll experience challenges and difficulties throughout your life as you go about learning to acknowledge and master your life’s purpose.
First you need to know your Life Path Number. See how to calculate yours with the example below.
Calculate your Life Path number:
EXAMPLE:
OCTOBER 1, 1935
- OCTOBER is the 10th month: 1 + 0 = 1
- The day of birth is 1: = 1
- The year of birth is 1935. Add all four numbers together: 1 + 9 + 3 + 5 = 18; continue adding until you get a one-digit number:
1 + 8 = 9
We now add the resulting single digits.
Month = 1 Day = 1 Year = 9
1 + 1 + 9 = 11 (11 is a Master Number)
In Numerology, you always keep adding until you reach a one-digit number.
1 + 1 = 2
The Life Path Number is 2 (and, as I observed in this post, this birth date is of a famous person who is an 11/2 – 2’s don’t often seek the spotlight, yet 11/2’s certainly do!)
