Root number 6
Born on 6 April
Venus · a sense of beauty and the instinct to care
6 April: the reading for this birthday alone
For those born on the 6th, home is the centre of the world. Feeding guests, sitting beside someone who is ill, shouldering the household with a smile: it is in their nature. They have an eye for beauty too, though in keeping others happy they often bury their own wishes.
The Sun at birth: Pisces · Revati. At your birth the Sun stood in Pisces. Imagination, compassion and a spiritual pull run deep in you. Art, music or service hold your heart. You take on other people's pain as your own; keep the practical accounts straight and feeling will never cheat you.
The Sun sits in the last third of the sign, a portion (drekkana) ruled by Mars, so courage, fire and the will to fight on are added. The Sun in Revati makes you kind, a guide and a helper to others on the road; travel and nourishment both favour you. Venus, the planet of your root number, and Jupiter, lord of the Sun's sign at birth, do not get along well. Two different pulls work inside you; learn to manage that tension and it is what makes you versatile.
Born on 6 April, with the Sun in Pisces: four areas of life
Career
In service, beauty, education or family-centred business your heart and success meet. Art, music, medicine, service, religious or charitable work bring both your heart and your success.
Money
Much goes on home and loved ones; keep a share for yourself too. Money does not stay easily; it goes on charity or on others, so set yourself a saving rule.
Love and relationships
You are devoted in love; just do not make every sacrifice alone, share it. Devoted and romantic in love; only idealising your partner leads to hurt later.
Health
You are drawn to sweet and heavy food; mind the throat and weight. Mind the feet, sleep and immunity; stay away from intoxicants.
The Sun’s sign and nakshatra are worked out from the day and month; for a birth close to the day the Sun changes sign, it can shift by a day from year to year. Check the full birth chart to be sure.
Your three-layer personality
Root number 6 belongs to Venus, who governs beauty and pleasure. At the centre of your life there is always a relationship, a family, a home. You are the kind of person who swallows your own difficulty in order to see a smile on the face of someone you love. Art, music, cooking, decoration, anything beautiful draws you naturally, and your livelihood may well be hidden somewhere in that. One caution only: lean too far towards comfort and indulgence and your talent lies unused.
Your birthday is a single digit, so your nature, behaviour and core all share one number. Your personality is simple and clear.
