Six (6) Equilibrium; harmony; the perfect number within the decad: 1+2+3=6. 'The most productive of all numbers' (Philo). It also symbolizes union of polarity, the hermaphrodite being represented by the two interlaced triangles, the upward-pointing as male, fire and the heavens, and the downward-pointing as female, the waters and the earth. Six also signifies love; health; beauty; chance; luck; it is the winning throw at dice in the West. There are six rays of the solar wheel and the interlaced triangles, the six-pointed star or Seal of Solomon, also represents perfect balance.
