Root number 6
Born on 6 February
Venus · a sense of beauty and the instinct to care
6 February: 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: Capricorn · Dhanishtha. At your birth the Sun stood in Capricorn. Hard work, discipline and long-range planning are your strength; even when results come late, you know how to wait. You do not shy from responsibility. Only do not lose your own joy and family time under the weight of work.
The Sun sits in the last third of the sign, a portion (drekkana) ruled by Mercury, so quick wit, a head for figures and a ready tongue are added. The Sun in Dhanishtha draws you to rhythm, music and wealth alike; you shine within a group. Venus, the planet of your root number, and Saturn, lord of the Sun's sign at birth, are neutral to each other. Which side grows stronger depends largely on your own choices.
Born on 6 February, with the Sun in Capricorn: four areas of life
Career
In service, beauty, education or family-centred business your heart and success meet. You rise step by step in government service, administration, construction, engineering or large institutions.
Money
Much goes on home and loved ones; keep a share for yourself too. Income grows slowly but lasts; long-term savings suit you best.
Love and relationships
You are devoted in love; just do not make every sacrifice alone, share it. Reserved in showing love, you leave no gap in fulfilling your duties.
Health
You are drawn to sweet and heavy food; mind the throat and weight. Look after the knees, bones and teeth; guard against cold and low moods.
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.
