The Nature of Governing SoleNumber 6

Those with a SoleNumber 6 are confident and deep.  They are a compassionate person, who has confidence and depth and is empowered and gentle.

Knowing your Governing SoleNumber uncovers your learning style, thinking style, creative process, how you experience time, and your connection to the Tao. All of this contributes to understanding yourself at a deep level and helps you walk your path to purpose and a beautiful life.

Learning style: kinesthetic and experiential

With a SoleNumber 6, you learn by doing and need to be hands-on with activities rather than listening to or watching someone else do it. You need to be active in the learning process.

You process information by taking the initiative, making decisions and being accountable. You learn when you try to do it yourself.

Thinking style: whole thinker

In the process of learning, understanding and gaining knowledge, the thinking style for the SoleNumber 6 is whole thinker, rather than linear thinker. You are perceptive and can think in multiple directions and are seen as very intelligent. 

You can make connections among apparently unrelated concepts and ideas, and really like open-ended instructions with options for possible outcomes.

Creative process: 

With a SoleNumber 6, your concepts and ideas are free flowing and based on forward-looking, original initiation. Compassionates, rather than looking at what others have done, use internal stimuli and insights to create. 

Fostering creativity within yourself includes giving yourself independence to create what you want, without a definite outcome in mind.

Experiencing time: 

You experience time all at the same time, with good memory and people awareness. Your subjective experience of time is that you are not always discerning about which event or memory came first. Sometimes you have little distinction between past and present events. Your time perception is often that “everything that has happened and everything that is happening” is happening now. 

For some of the other SoleNumbers, time is experienced one step at a time, in a logical progression. Their subjective experience of time is that one event follows another in succession and when the event is over, it becomes a memory. Time has an order to it.


The rhythm of the Tao:

The Tao is the natural order of the universe and keeps the world balanced and flowing.  Water energy is the Tao energy that matches SoleNumber 6.

When light and expanding, Water energy represents flow and empowerment and has depth, is flowing, fluid, reflective and still.

When dark and collapsed, Water energy is too much. It overflows, has no boundaries and is destructive. 

Your SoleNumber 6 embodies the natural energy of water.


Knowing this, contributes to understanding yourself at a deep level, and helps you to become the best version of yourself that you can be. Walk the path to purpose and a beautiful life. 

The day that you were born is a remarkable day and there is an energy that is carried forward into your life. Your SoleNumbers help guide you in life and contain remarkable insights into what drives you and what makes you great. 

Your birthdate gives you 11 SoleNumbers and these can be discovered by requesting your SoleNumbers report here.
