Those born with a Life Path number 6 are incredible nurturers. If men, they rescue damsels in distress. If women, they mother the "little boy" in their men.

If you have a six in your chart you are home, family, or community oriented, loving, warm, understanding, compassionate, responsible and reliable and interested in pleasing others. You are an excellent caretaker and provider, and enjoy being of service to others, and this is especially true with your family and friends. You life revolves around home and family, and your parenting instincts are very strong. The word domestic most likely describes you well, and one job you would love is being a stay at home parent.

As a Six you should keep an eye on yourself as you may become self-righteous and critical of others. Because you are so giving you might have a tendency to become a slave to others and neglect your own needs in the process. Because you thrive on supporting others you may sometimes find it difficult to find a balance between helping and meddling. You may also become an enabler for someone who needs taking care of in a relationship, or with a child, and not allow them to experience life or learn its lessons. People born on the Sixth path are often described as magnetic, as people are often drawn to them, and their moods can affect the room.

Your tendency is to be a humanitarian and you feel a genuine devotion to the welfare of your fellow human beings, but you must be careful of putting people on pedestals, as they often have a tendency to topple.

Life path number 6 is the number of responsibility and awareness. When those around you are losing their heads, you're the one who takes charge. Stop fighting it. Below are some key points you might want to take into consideration to help you on your path …

Don't try to deny who you are. You are a take charge person. You have two choices. You can accept it and get over it and do it right and actually enjoy it. Or, you can give up control and know that you'll be critical of the way anyone else handles things. You're probably a control freak. That's OK, there are a lot of us out there. Just have a sense of humor about it. Remember, you're a legend in your own mind! Now, keep reading.

Appreciate yourself. Aim for a career that rewards your responsibility. You'll do much better as a manager than as a worker. If it means more education, then get it. Be proud of yourself for being capable.

Remember that the person in charge is only as good as the people doing the grunt work. Be compassionate, practical and appreciative. And make sure that you know how to do each person's job, so that you know what you're asking them to do.

You might want to make your vacations as control-free as possible. Someplace like Club Med or a cruise might be perfect for you. Give yourself a few days where the only decisions you have to make are if you're hungry or thirsty and what you want to do about it. Let the people in charge take care of you for a change. Just make sure you know they're going to do it properly.

Another vacation option is to do something very physical. Go someplace and help build a cabin, or a house. Do a seven-day backpacking or bicycle trip. The idea is to do something physically fairly strenuous for a week or so. Or huge, like train for and run a marathon. Make yourself tired. Just make sure you spend a couple of days recovering.

ooh...someone do me! My birthday was 13 Aug 1978...what's my life number? I'm off work, so I can't be assed to do math right now.

A person with Life Path number 1 is hard working, a natural born leader, has a pioneering spirit that is full of energy, and a passion for art. They have a strong desire to be number one, which means a person with this number can manifest very easily. Due to their determination and self motivation, they won't let anything stand in their way of accomplishing a goal. Their drive allows them to overcome any obstacle or challenge they may encounter, and they have the desire to accomplish great things in their lifetime. Their only need is to focus on what they want in order to achieve it.

Because Ones are critical of themselves, they can also be very critical of others. The Ones will not tolerate laziness from the people they spend their time with.

People with Life Path 1 are very independent and feel the need to make up their own mind about things and follow their own personal convictions. All this drive and determination means that they can easily become irritated when things don't go their way.

Innovation and creativity also are characteristics associated with this path. These folks are very good at starting new projects, and often take a unique or inventive approach to solving problems. Because of these qualities, and because multitasking is something they tend to be very good at, they are well suited to self employment and can be happiest being their own boss. A Life Path of One also means that they may possess the qualities to be a political or military leader.

On the negative side, if you are of Life Path 1 you can have a tendency to be self centered, egotistical and demanding. Because you feel a strong desire to be number one and to appear successful, you can easily become arrogant or boastful. Though you excel as a leader, you may have a difficult time being a follower, and are reluctant to seek help, which can cause you to be quite unhappy if you are in a situation where you are not in charge. While you are great at starting projects, you quickly tire of detailed tasks.

Your life path tells you what your life tools and lessons are about. Life path number 1 is a strong vibration, one of individuality and invention, and below are some key points you might want to take into consideration to help you on your path …

Be true to your path. You are quick on the draw and you usually see the opportunity in an idea faster than most people. Use that and you'll be happier.

Aim for a career that lets you be your own boss. You're better working alone than with a group and you don't take orders well.

Avoid getting lazy just because you're frequently quicker than other people. Use that energy to explore and achieve further on your own.

Take charge, step out and risk it all on a new venture. Nobody will do that better than you.

it's also the number of toes he has on each foot.

Not exactly the type of responses I was hoping for.

I do not believe in astrology, numerology, horoscopes, or whatever else in any way shape or form.
Brian Wilson however at one point had an astrologer whom he consulted about major life decisions. He consulted the I Ching. He read pop-philosophy books, and engaged with pseudo-religious mysticism. He believed that the number of flowers in the background of a portrait of himself had numerological significance....

In light of all that, I don't see the possibility of him placing a special significance on the number five as being especially far fetched.

It's also possible that it relates to an obsessive-compulsive disorder which Brian has, where multiples of 5 are seen as "neat" or "orderly".

I don't expect the answer to my question to provide a definitive understanding of Brian Wilson, and it may be the case that the two quotes I listed are just completely random examples of Brian talking out of his ass.

However I think it's equally plausible that Brian assigned some special value to the number 5 after reading a book on numerology or astrology, or speaking with a "professional" astrologer. I don't know very much about numerology or astrology unfortunately. It's all BS to me, but that maybe wasn't the case for Brian. I think it's a perfectly valid question to ask, if Brian spend time in 1966/67 drawing up horoscopes for his friends or determining the numerological "life path" of various people he knew, then understanding what exactly those systems told him would only help us understand his general outlook during the SMiLE period.

I don't believe in numerology, but yikes...that's scarily accurate.

The classic Beach Boys line-up had five members. The family that Brian grew up in had five members. The Beach Boys reached their creative peak after five years (Pet Sounds/Good Vibrations/early Smile sessions)

Um, 19+13+9+12+5 = 58?  Unless numerology has no letter K, or something.

Bach was also well known for his use of various self-referential word and number games within his pieces. For example, the last subject of the final fugue of the Art of the Fugue has as its four-note theme BACH (in old style German notation "B" stood for b-flat and "H" for b natural). Bach used the BACH theme in other pieces as well. Among his favorite numbers were 14 (=BACH with B=2, A=1, C=3, H=8) and 41 (=JS BACH -in old German notation, as in Latin, "I" and "J" were the same letter).

The five points on the star represent the elements, air, fire, water, and earth as well as Akasha, the combination of all of the elements and the representation of the human spirit.

k is not number 11 but 10, if you follow an old numerology system. The answer in this can be found in a quote from http://ucsdnews.ucsd.edu/newsrel/arts/dbachfanfare.htm

The following are useful web site links containing photographs of Bach

BACH is the most simple and known way to explain numerology a=1 b=2 etc
Google BACH and numerology you'll find hundreds of sites! I just took one of the first sites I found as example. It's not science but composers long before Bach used numerology in their music. No you cannot hear it, yet they put it in the notes.

There were 5 classic Beach Boys?

Just listen to his music and you can tell he likes the number 5.  There are 5ths everywhere.

Some more of this number 5 fetishism. I stumbled upon this today: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NcPjQVDwZPY&t=1m33s

Brian is obsessed with the number five since his favorite vocal group is The Five Freshmen.
