Those born on May 6 seem to be in touch with how fantasy, imagination and the unconscious work. This understanding generally manifests in one of two ways: in being sympathetic, even empathic with others or in embodying the fantasies of others, in essence, being a star. The teachers, counselors, and sympathetic parents of the first type are expert in guiding people through difficult times and helping them to understand their motivations; the star type is obsessed with the realizing of dreams, daring to live out fantasies that most people keep bottled up. This tapping in to the imaginative process is a special gift and must be managed wisely. If May 6 people use this talent amorally or without a goal, they may wind up manipulating the lives of others for their own benefit or forcing themselves into a career or marriage that was never meant to be. The most successful May 6 people are those who recognize their limitations and are able to treat both their goals and those of others objectively and ethically. May 6 people often experience difficult or traumatic childhoods, which they manage to overcome with great courage and tenacity. These difficulties can lend them insights into life which people with more normal upbringings or less sensitivity may never know. If those born on this day utilize such insight with compassion and empathy, they will be truly valuable individuals to society. It is often the case that May 6 people are of great service to others while still remaining the victims of their own private sufferings, which they usually hide from the world. Because they are so sensitive, and perhaps driven by the workings of destructive unconscious drives, those born on this day are particularly prone to emotional instability as well as to physical discomforts and pain. The theme of repeatedly striving to overcome obstacles is a constant in the lives of many May 6 people. In an effort to control their destinies, they may become unduly compulsive, structuring every moment of their time as if they are afraid that if they don’t, things will fly apart somehow. A seemingly efficient and reasonable lifestyle may thus be hiding a volcano of seething emotions of which May 6 people themselves are not always aware. On the other hand, those born on May 6 are most understanding of the irrationality of others, having a kind of sixth sense for it. They can be depended upon in difficult emotional situations for their wisdom and courage. Often they will take the side of the underdog or victim, whose psyche they understand only too well. Attractive people born on this day must sometimes guard against those they seek to help falling in love with or idolizing them. Although such attention can be gratifying to the ego, it only slows down a May 6 person’s own process of self-realization.

Numbers

Those born on the 6th day of the month are ruled by the number 6 and by the planet Venus. Because those ruled by the number 6 are magnetic in attracting love and admiration, and since Venus (also ruler of Taurus) is strongly connected with social interaction, May 6 people inevitably work with others in a social context. Love is often the dominant theme in the life of a person ruled by the number 6.

Archetype

As if to emphasize this last point, the 6th card of the Major Arcana is The Lovers, symbolizing the love that unites all of humanity through integration of masculine and feminine polarities. On the good side this card indicates affections and desires on a high moral, aesthetic and physical plane; on the bad side, unfulfilled desires, sentimentality and indecisiveness. Since the astrology of Taurus, the Tarot and the characteristics of the number 6 all indicate the primary influence of Venus, those born on May 6 will have to keep a handle on projective fantasies and exercise care in regard to love, relationships and beauty.

Health

Those born on May 6 may fall prey to their active unconscious and fantasy drives putting them under tremendous emotional stress. Although they objectively understand mood swings, hysteria and other emotional difficulties, they must be careful not to fall victims themselves. They can suffer from low self-esteem and should be encouraged to think of themselves in a more realistic fashion, while building a stronger (but less narcissistic) ego. In addition, they must beware of becoming overdominant and protective. They should also be on the lookout for sex and love addictions, to which they are particularly prone. Diets emphasizing cooked fresh vegetables and grains will be helpful in keeping the sensitive systems of May 6 people in balance. Both homeopathic and herbal remedies are recommended.

Advice

Keep a handle on your emotions. Wait to be asked for help, while at the same time not being afraid to ask for help yourself. Get your own house in order; employ your perceptions wisely. Remain sensitive to the feelings of others.
