Synopsis

The Sixes highlight a peak experience, one that seems to come with divine favor. In the Tree of Life reading of the Golden Dawn, the Sixes are associated with the Sefirot Tiferet, "Beauty" or the "Sun/Son of Light". Sitting in the middle of the Tree at the crossroads of many paths, the energy of the Six can travel anywhere. The Sixes are a meeting of the descent of the unmanifest above, and the manifest below. An expression of the Threes (2x3), they are also a reconciler. As the middle of the three triads (3, 6, 9) in a reconciling position, the Sixes hold a particularly special and potent place for the meeting of the outward and inward. It is the touch of grace reaching down and shining through that which has lifted itself up to meet it.
