Number 6s like to nurture others.  If men, they have been known to regularly rescue damsels in distress.  If they are women, they mother the "little boy" in their men.  Both these situations can be unhealthy for the individuals concerned, in that the person being nurtured, is not encouraged to be independent and self-reliant.  They can also have a tendency to want to be in control of others. 

They do well in their own businesses, rather than working for others.  The inclination to misjudge others by being overemotional rather than objective can also occur.  They tend to put people on pedestals, who then fall off.  People are often attracted to number 6s as they seem genuinely interested in establishing rapport and offering security and support. 

If you are going into a 6 year, it is a great time for relationships.  You could attract a new relationship to you or deepen existing bonds in an established relationship.  You will support your partner, just be careful not to over do it to the extent that you centre your entire life around your relationship to the exclusion of everything else.
