CARD VALUES
SIXES
The journey of the Six begins the journey into the second half of the deck. After the movement of the Fives, The Six evaluates, bringing order and harmony into form. In the zodiac, this value resonates with Virgo, mutable earth, whose alchemical process is distillation—the refinement that separates what is essential from what is waste. A notable emblem of the Six is the law of “as above, so below,” where the divine is reflected in the human. Pythagoras called it the perfect number, whole in itself, embodying symmetry, beauty, and completion. It represents responsibility and cooperation.
Across traditions, Six has been honored as a number of law and harmony. In Egypt it was linked to Ma’at, the goddess of justice and balance. In Mesopotamian temples, the hexagram represented union between heaven and earth. For the Pythagoreans, six was sacred to Venus, the power of love and beauty. In Kabbalah it corresponds to Tiferet, compassion at the heart of the Tree of Life. Hindu teachings tie it to Shukra, planet of prosperity, and to the six chakras that lead toward enlightenment. Taoist philosophy sees it as flowing yin energy that nurtures peace, while the Mayan calendar placed six at the center of the sacred directions—north, south, east, west, above, and below. Throughout many cultures, Six is the reminder that taking the time to settle in yourself brings harmony.
Each suit expresses this quality of internal processing through its own domain. Hearts ground in your power to create, seek council with your inner knowing, and bond with close ones. Clubs use the Six as a stabilizing force through thought and educational pursuits, shaping balanced mental frameworks. Diamonds express it through fairness in resources, stability in partnerships, and responsibility in material exchange. Spades channel it as discipline, service, and the responsibility to integrate both spirit and matter. In all forms, the Six values adjustment, responsibility, and creating environments of stability where life can grow.
As a Sun Card, Sixes often live with a sense of purpose that extends beyond personal ambition. They are loyal, dependable, and naturally protective of others, often taking on roles of comforter, educator, or connector. At their best, they embody justice, grace, and compassion, offering a living example of how balance restores wholeness.
When you move through a cycle ruled by a Six, life often asks you to pause, take responsibility, and evaluate. These periods may highlight if you need to restore balance in relationships, work, or inner life. The atmosphere is about alignment.
The lesson of the Six is to settle into harmony, beauty, and justice.
