Tipareth/Beauty
Your Decanate Number is 6. This corresponds to the 6th Sephirah on the Tree of Life called Tipareth or Beauty. As you can see, Tipareth exists within the center of the Tree. It is a very unique sphere in that there are more paths leading to it and from it than any other Sephirah, 8 of them to be exact. The very number 8 is important as well, since Tipareth is the sphere of the Sun, and one of the Sun's numbers is in fact 8. The Sun rules the sign of Leo, represented by the Strength card in Tarot whose number is 8.
Since the 6th Sphere has so much activity around it, it can be thought of as being a very 'active' sphere, meaning it is communicative and able to see things from many different perspectives. People born within this zone are great speakers, great listeners, and are best suited for work in communication fields, or in any field where they can simplify things for others or help people adapt to changing circumstances (things like technical support). Much of this is done within the mental sphere, as the 6 is the hub of mental influence within the Tree, being spheres 4 through 9. 6s pay great attention to detail and love to refine concepts and simplify matters, though this might give them an attraction to complexity. Since they are naturally gifted at finding helpful generalizations through their simplification there also lurks the danger of becoming too critical and misjudging through not having enough information.
Being the center of the Tree of Life, Tipareth acts as a kind of hub of radiant activity within the entire tree. Another term for this 6th Sphere is 'The Seat of the Soul" and it can be thought of as an expression of the connectedness between the spheres. 6s are naturally able to bring harmony to groups if they are operating correctly. They can make great politicians, diplomats, public speakers, and can excel in any other vocation involving direct communication with other people like organizing social or cultural events.
6s are also naturals at being able to put themselves in another persons shoes, to see the world form their perspective. This is what can make them such good friends, confidants and listeners. But since 6s work so well within the mental world of language and communication they may become too cerebral and overly concerned with the world of outward appearances. To overcome this 6s must turn inward to seek out deeper waters and to delve more deeply into the hidden mysteries of life which are best represented by the 7th sphere immediately following the 6th.
The Major Arcana card which corresponds to the 6th Sephiroth is The Lovers, whose number is also 6. The Lovers card represents Gemini, also known as The Twins, and is a particularly energetic sign with a lot of communicative and mental abilities. In turn, this card has much to do with Air, the voice, the lungs, the breath and breathing. Since communication and cooperation are such important tools for this 6th card, it is important for anyone resonating with the 6 to maintain harmony domestically and socially. Sometimes this may include cutting ties with those one is no longer compatible with. 6 can be thought of as an upside down 9, both in their shape, of course, and also in their numerological meanings. The 9 is an end point in a process and is concerned with completion, service, gratitude, and also with "cutting away" that which is no longer serving the individual. Under the 9, things within the material world may pass away, and it is important to let go of these things so that there is room for something better to enter.
For the 6, on the other hand, that which passes away is more within the realm of mental constructs, habits and preconceptions, ideas, communications and also acquaintances with which one communicates. Whereas the 9 is physical and represents material rounding out, completion and refinement, the 6 is mental and represents mental rounding out, completion and refinement. The 6 has much to do with routine and the general comings and goings in day to day life. This means that for someone with 6 as their Decanate Number, they may need to get in step with the idea of letting go of that which they may no longer be compatible, which could be with either ideas and concepts, or with partnerships or friendships. The 6 has great capacity for communicating much information on a technical level, and they may also be quite charming and helpful while engaged in any cooperative effort, but they need to know when enough is enough and to let things go. This need not be done with any kind of negative emotion, but with a "coming clean" or "washing of the hands" kind of dynamic which is very important for the 6.
In the Modality page, we see that 6 is within the 3-6-9 column. (also take note of the 3rd column of cards in the Numerology section of the Major Arcana page). This column has much to do with togetherness, pleasant environments, synthesis, integration, communications, simplification, honesty, displays, and arts. For the 6 in particular, as stated, these dynamics fall more within the realm of highly communicative mental capacities. The 6 is "double fixed" and as such is a very harmonious number, or rather, it is a number that really needs harmony. 6s are not necessarily the "most harmonious people" all the time, but rather need it and should strive for it. Sometimes the 6 is a thorn of sorts, but that sharpness always has a backstory of the need for some kind of universal harmony which will jump fences and transcend boundaries and comfort zones to make itself heard and known. Like the 5, the 6 may dispel complications, but the way the 6 goes about it is through simplification, generalization (not always a bad thing), and technical expertise in a specific area.
Useful cards for the 6 to contemplate are found within the 3rd column of cards in the Numerology section of the Major Arcana page. This is the column of 3-6-9-12-15-18-21, or, The Empress, The Lovers, The Hermit, The Hanged Man, The Devil, The Moon, and The Universe. The cards most harmonically aligned to the 6 within this series are The Lovers and The Devil, though a contemplation of all 7 cards is recommended.
