Challenge number 6
Responsibility without trying to control everyone.
Challenge 6
Responsibility without trying to control everyone.
It relates to the qualities of 6: care, responsibility, home. The challenge is to develop them without overdoing them.
How it shows up
It often shows up as taking on too much or controlling others. Working with it: help when asked, and let others choose.
The 6 challenge is about responsibility. You may take on others' problems, feel you must fix everything, or hold people to your standards. The work is to care without controlling: offer help, accept that others may choose differently, and include your own needs in the list of things worth looking after.
How a challenge 6 arises
Challenges subtract parts of the birth date, each reduced to a single digit (masters too): month and day, day and year, the first two challenges, then month and year. A difference of 6 comes from pairs such as 7 and 1, 8 and 2, 9 and 3.
How common it is
Of all dates from 1940 to 2019, 8.2% have 6 as the first challenge, and 4.5% as the third, main challenge, which Decoz says lasts throughout life.
