6The one who takes care
People bring you things that are broken, including themselves. You have an instinct for what a person or a room or a situation needs in order to be well, and a hard time walking past it once you have seen it. Homes tend to form around you. So do obligations.
The cost is the account you keep without meaning to. A 6 gives, and gives, and then one day is furious that nobody noticed, and the fury is real even though the giving was freely offered. The work of this path is to care for yourself with the same attention you give everyone else, and to let people help you badly rather than not at all.

6A gift for the whole
Your name adds up to breadth. You carry compassion, an artist's or idealist's sense of what could be, and an impatience with pettiness that can look, from a distance, like aloofness. You are moved by large things: justice, beauty, the fate of people you will never meet.
In work this favours the helping and the widening professions: medicine, teaching, the arts, advocacy, any role that serves more than one person's interest. You finish things well and let them go. The letters also carry a difficulty with the small and near, and the 9 is often better with a crowd than with the person sitting closest.

6A year of completion
The cycle closes. A 9 year tends to bring endings: things finished, people released, rooms cleared. It can feel like loss and is better read as making space, since a 1 year follows and needs it.
A useful question for this year: what is finished, and what am I still holding only because I have not said so out loud?
