Soul Urge number
6
Numbers describe tendencies in a symbolic tradition. They cannot decide health, money, law, marriage or children.
About this number
O carries 6, the highest value among the five plain vowels after I. Jean Hill shows a sum reaching it another way: E and A make 6 in Jean, I makes 9 in Hill, and 6 plus 9 comes to 15, then 6.
Cheasley in 1916 says a 6 with nobody to look after turns its attention to pets, a homely detail for a number about private wants. He also lists friendship, conscientiousness and hospitality. Walton in 1914 calls it joy-giving and considerate.
A Soul Urge of 6, in modern popular terms, is a wish to be needed and to keep a household or group at ease. Balliett in 1905 saw her sixes arranging a temple for others, and that image of quiet service runs through the early books. Sepharial's 1911 list is briefer and says perfection of work.
