The shadow side of life path 6

Unbalanced, the 6 becomes self-sacrificing, controlling and martyr-like, giving until resentment sets in. The growth edge is boundaries, learning that caring for yourself is not selfish and that help unasked-for can become control.

Your care shows up across your whole chart.

Your life path is one number from your birth date. Your Destiny Matrix maps every energy in your chart from the same date.
