When the 6 challenge appears in this position, it concerns love, loyalty, commitment, and sacrifice. Existing relationships are tested - some survive, some don't, but the relationships that do survive will be stronger. To use an analogy, this is a time for pruning the branches of your life and your connections. 

A relationship may be fragile or solid as a rock, but no relationship is without its difficulties. This period brings an awareness that flexibility is required to live a harmonious life in love and commitment. Circumstances beyond your control often play a role, but there is much you can do to strengthen or heal the relationships you value. It usually requires a measure of sacrifice, be it in taking responsibility for what is amiss, or by giving up something you are attached to on the physical, mental, emotional plane, or a combination of them all.
