✧Features of Six White Metal

First, let's cover the core features of Six White Metal in Nine Star Ki.

Charismatic and full of energy

Six White Metal is overflowing with charm, carrying a gorgeous charisma that draws people's attention, and a mysterious influence that shares its energy with everyone nearby.

That feeling of "somehow standing out" or "somehow feeling good" around them is likely just the aura unique to Six White Metal.

Skilled at turning experience into wisdom

Six White Metal has strong powers of concentration, and by accumulating a wide range of experiences develops excellent planning ability, drive, and decisiveness, while steadily turning hardship and failure into knowledge and skill of their own.

They're also strongly ambitious, and are true self-made types, well suited to becoming specialists in their field or business owners and executives.

A talent for generating money

Six White Metal naturally has a talent for generating money, and is mysteriously blessed with financial luck — so they'd stand out as a leader even in a role handling large sums of money.

☾What are the personality traits of Six White Metal?

A gap between appearance and inner self

Six White Metal is skilled at bringing people together and leading them.

They can come across as a leader-like presence, or be valued as an idea person overflowing with imagination — but because their thoughtful side tends to stay hidden, they may also be perceived as "mysterious" or "hard to read."

They also want to be "beautiful both outside and in," and never spare the effort to polish themselves, even when no one's watching. At a glance they look cool and strong, but their inner side is actually delicate and intricate — and that gap seems to be part of the charm.

Strong sense of responsibility and deeply trusted

Six White Metal has a strong sense of responsibility and hates to lose, and is generally serious and a bit stubborn — and because of that, they're seen as having "an unbreakable core" and are deeply trusted by those around them.

True to that image, though, Six White Metal holds an especially strong sense of their own way of doing things, so they're not particularly good at relying on others and tend to shoulder things alone. It's important for them to sometimes find the courage to lean on the people around them.

Not very attached to money

Six White Metal isn't very attached to money, and can be a little poor at saving or budgeting either way. They tend to have more chances to spend money on someone else than on themselves.

Prefers straightforward expressions of affection

Six White Metal's view of love tends to favor straightforward expressions of affection over enjoying the push-and-pull of games. While they like unrestrained freedom, once they seriously fall for someone, their affection toward that person tends to become intense and passionate.

They're gentle and sincere, and tend to easily win the favor of calm, accepting people.

☀2022 Fortune for Six White Metal

From here, let's introduce the 2022 fortune by category.

Overall Fortune

2022 marks the curtain-raiser of a new chapter in life for Six White Metal — it's said to be a very active year, with feelings running high.

Depending on the person, it may also be "a year to build a foundation" or "a year to humbly relearn your original intentions" ahead of your next step up — so the purity of chasing your dreams and ideals without delay, together with a wish for the happiness of those around you, will likely become the key to good fortune.

Also, if you keep Six White Metal's humility and skill at reading the mood in mind, that will become the secret to holding onto your luck and drawing in even greater fortune.

In communication with others, drawing on your cautious personality and sharp intuition will help you avoid trouble.

Preparing yourself mentally to adapt flexibly to circumstances will help things go smoothly, and will make it easier to find stability of mind and body.

Work Fortune

2022 is a year when Six White Metal's motivation toward work rises another notch. The fact that you've kept going for a long time without giving up will work in your favor, and you'll be blessed with the chance to step up to a new stage.

Backed by your inherent perseverance and ambition, as you aim for and achieve highly creative work, the trust others place in you should run thick, and evaluations should be high.

A year when past results take shape and effort bears fruit is expected — one where Six White Metal's true talent is put on full display and your abilities blossom.

Love Fortune

2022 is the year Six White Metal shines the most. Filled with confidence and fulfillment, you'll also be blessed with good luck in love.

It looks to be a year with more chances to interact with people in various positions, so as you handle sudden invitations proactively, you may find yourself connected to an encounter slightly different from anything so far, at some point along the way.

If you're thinking of marriage in 2022, following the proper steps carefully should let you show off your maturity and mindset, making it easier to gain support and understanding from those around you.

If you already have a partner, focusing on their good points and the things you like about them, and spending time in a relaxed frame of mind, should deepen the bond between you two even further.

Money Fortune

Following on from work and love, your money luck is good too, and it's shaping up to be the ideal time for somewhat large purchases.

You might even receive an unexpected windfall of income.

If you run a company or shop, it's also a time when big deals are more likely to close, so keep winning through with your usual seriousness and humility.

Relationship Fortune

Cherishing gratitude and consideration toward the people who've been there for you will be the secret to keeping things in good shape.

Also, turning your attention once again toward those close to you — family, friends, romantic partners — should help you recall what forms the foundation of your life.

Health Fortune

In 2022, Six White Metal looks set to be especially busy with work, so be mindful of caring for your body and mind so that hard-work fatigue doesn't build up.

It's shaping up to be a year where you can push through with real tenacity, but with work fortune this good, it would be a shame to wreck your health — so it's important to pace yourself and rest well rather than push too hard.
