Love as responsibility. Six is not only kindness; it is home, beauty, service, and the instinct to make things whole for the people it claims.
What it opens: Making places and people feel properly cared for.
What to watch for: Care that turns into control, and carrying what was never yours to carry.

The 6 year sits between a 5 and a 7
The year before: The Changer. Freedom and movement.

What you finish or start in a 6 year sets up the next one.
