Type Six — The Skeptic
Logical to their core, Sixes are defined by their desire to find safety and security in the world. They are very risk-averse and gravitate towards authority figures and institutions as they see them as a way to gain more security.
The Skeptic’s biggest fear is being unprepared and therefore unable to defend themselves in an emergency. It is this fear that makes them over-prepared for every possible eventuality. You can often find them planning for future events—both real and hypothetical. If you bring to mind the stereotypical “survivalist”, someone who is stockpiling canned goods and preparing for every worst-case scenario, you’re likely thinking of an Enneagram Type Six.
These characteristics also make Sixes the kind of people you want in your corner. They are loyal, trustworthy, protective, and honest. They are caring and extremely generous towards their friends and family.
Type Sixes strive to find a community in which they feel connected and comfortable. Once they find this group, they stand by them through thick and thin. When Sixes are at their best, they can learn to embrace their independence and be themselves. When they are struggling, they tend to seek the acceptance of others and base a lot of their self-worth on the opinions of others.
When a Skeptic is living their best life, they leave their worries behind and focus on things that they can directly impact at the moment.
8 Perfect Crystals for Enneagram Type Six
1. Black Tourmaline
Type Sixes love to feel safe and secure—it is a huge motivator for everything they do. They seek out security in life, so it stands to reason that they would be drawn to protective crystals. There are a lot of protective crystals to choose from, but I think Black Tourmaline is the perfect choice for any Skeptics out there. It works like a force field to block out negative energy to keep your energetic boundaries protected at all times. Sixes can keep it with them to have a shield that moves with them, or they can place Black Tourmaline in their home to create a protective energetic shield in their physical space.
2. Fluorite
The Skeptic approaches everything from a very logical position—even their hypothetical worries are rooted in logic. To stimulate their logical thinking and keep their brains moving forward, Sixes can benefit from Fluorite in their lives. Fluorite can bring great clarity, mental acuity, and concentration to those that work with it. When you need to focus and tap into your logical side, this gorgeous crystal can help you work through a problem or complete a difficult task.
3. Blue Lace Agate
Trust and respect are two elements that Sixes need from every relationship they are in. Trust is extremely important to them and they see themselves as very trustworthy people. Blue Lace Agate is a great stone for Type Sixes because it can help you find patience, trust, and respect. Its calming energy is also great to help you soothe your nerves and help you feel rooted and stable.
4. Amazonite
It isn’t always easy for the logical, safety-minded Six to open up to the world and share their truth. Whether they are worried about being accepted or simply don’t see the value in sharing, they can be closed off to those in their lives. Working with Amazonite is a wonderful way to help Type Sixes open up—it is a powerful communication crystal that supports you when you want to articulate your highest truth to the world. Amazonite can also help you find your authentic voice if you are still trying to answer the question, “What is my truth?”.
5. Azurite
Because they tend to operate from a place of logic, Sixes may find themselves needing to make a lot of decisions. Where other people might jump in sight unseen, Skeptics need to have all the facts to make informed decisions to be happy in life. Azurite is a wonderful stone that can bring clarity to your mind and help you feel confident in your decision-making abilities.
6. Green Aventurine
When Sixes are at their lowest, they can start to rely on the opinions of others to define their self-worth. This externalized validation can hurt their relationships and their mental well-being. To help keep Type Sixes emotionally balanced and confident with themselves, I recommend working with Green Aventurine. This crystal can help Sixes gain—or rediscover—their self-confidence and help to keep them emotionally balanced no matter what comes their way.
7. Citrine
Tapping into their creative side can give Type Sixes an unexpected boost! Citrine is a great crystal to help you do just that—it is all about manifesting action and awakening your creative energy. Working with this sunshiney crystal can help you tap into your personal will and personal power. Sixes can benefit from the energizing vibes wrapped up in this beautiful yellow crystal. Are you ready to tackle the world with renewed vigor?
8. Prehnite
When fear and anxiety surrounding the many unknowns and uncertainties in life start to creep in on Sixes, they can spiral out. They may find themselves overwhelmed by stress and anxiety as they imagine every possible negative outcome. Prehnite can help to bring calm to their anxious and overstressed minds. A strong Heart Chakra crystal, Prehnite can bring inner peace during times of stress, anxiety, and grief, making it a wonderful companion for Type Sixes.
These 8 crystals can help support Enneagram Type Sixes through all of their highs and lows. They can help Skeptics feel secure and protected while giving them a boost to their logical brains! If you’re a Type Six, let me know in the comments which of these crystals resonate with you most!
