~first~, a 6 Essence inspires a warm, caring state of mind and the willingness to take on more responsibility. It is a pragmatic, harmonious influence for your career as well as personal relationships. The 6 helps you feel more stable and comfortable with your emotions, which attracts others seeking support, comfort, and advice.

The chapter on your Personal Year talked about creativity, communication, optimism, and inspiration. It also mentioned the lack of focus and light-hearted (if not frivolous) attitude common to the 3. It is easy to see where the responsible, caring traits of the 6 might conflict with the playful, sometimes superficial manner of the 3.

The 3, although generally a good communicator, often flounders when dealing with serious emotionally charged matters (the opposite way a 6 would respond). Being aware of this incompatibility can help you devote added attention to important personal relationships and inspire you to communicate more intimately.

The 3/6 combination is good for business, career, and other productive endeavors, especially if your job requires personal interaction and creativity. Artists, lawyers, skilled artisans, entrepreneurs, and retailers are well supported. This team is not as well suited for those who deal with personal issues on a deeper level (psychologists, social workers, educators, and healers). Although therapeutic and instructional careers suit the 6 Essence, it does not fit as well when the 6 is present in a 3 Personal Year.

On the upside, your creativity will be enhanced by both cycles, a double windfall for your imagination, originality, and ability to view challenges from a fresh and unique perspective. This aspect is especially helpful for people in highly creative careers and work that requires innovative ideas. Additionally, the 6 Essence is often offered more responsibility, which could expand your range of duties and involvement and make promotion and progress more likely.

This team is also favorable for the early stages of romance when fun, humor, and charisma are important. The 3 easily delivers these upbeat qualities, and the generous, loving 6 is its perfect complement.
