Number Six – Meaning in Kabbalistic Numerology

Number Six represents harmony, love, beauty, and the unifying power that reconciles opposites. It is the number of balance between spirit and matter, virtue and temptation, union and choice. In Kabbalistic Numerology, Six governs relationships, aesthetics, emotional equilibrium, and the refinement of desire through consciousness.

Number Six in Kabbalistic Numerology – Symbolic and Spiritual Meaning of Number Six

In the Kabbalistic work The Book of Concealed Mystery (Siphra Dtzenioutha), the first verse of Genesis — Berashith Bera Elohim Ath Hashamaim Vaath Haaretz — is interpreted as the moment when the substance of the heavens and the substance of the earth were brought into being by Elohim.

From this act emerge six created members, corresponding to the six numbers of the Microprosopus, the Lesser Countenance of the Divine:

1 – Benignity, as the right arm
2 – Severity, as the left arm
3 – Beauty, as the body
4 – Victory, as the right leg
5 – Glory, as the left leg
6 – Foundation, as the reproductive organs

Six therefore represents Beauty in equilibrium — the harmonising force that integrates mercy and severity into living form.

Those governed by this vibration are among the most serene and calm in the entire numerological system. They are peaceful, balanced, and deeply domestic — homely in the highest and noblest sense. Affectionate, loyal, and sincere, they value emotional security and meaningful bonds.

Far from lacking creativity, many Sixes excel in the performing arts, especially theatre, music, and visual expression. Artistic sensitivity and aesthetic discernment are natural gifts of this number.

Sephirah number Six, is Tiferet, Beauty/Glory, the sixth Sephira. Tiferet is the force that integrates the sefira of Chesed (“Kindness”) and Gevurah(“Strength”).

Mystical Symbolism of Number Six

Six is the number of union and confusion, of seduction and choice, of vice and virtue. It governs love, sexual attraction, beauty, and emotional attachment. While it may bring challenges in relationships — uncertainty, temptation, or discord — it also contains the power of purification through knowledge, ethical living, and conscious commitment.

The occult symbols of Number Six include The Two Paths, The Man Between Virtue and Vice, Cupid with his Bow and Arrow, and the Goddess Venus.

Its planetary vibration is Venusian, reinforcing its connection to love, aesthetics, harmony, and attraction.

Psychological Profile of Number Six

François-Xavier Chaboche describes Number Six as seeking harmony, mutual support, and meaningful exchange. It is warm, realistic, and naturally inclined toward cooperation rather than domination.

Six influences others gently, without imposing authority. Self-confidence and inner stability come easily, though they must be consciously cultivated and maintained. Success is often found through creative expression or through service to others, particularly in social, artistic, or humanitarian fields.

Essence of Number Six

Six is the number of beauty refined by responsibility. It teaches that love must be chosen consciously, not blindly followed. When mastered, Six reconciles desire with wisdom, transforming attraction into devotion and harmony into enduring union.
