Human Design Profile, 6/3

Learning about ourselves leads to self-love, awareness, and acceptance.

Do you or someone you know have the Human Design Profile, 6/3?

How many times do you say, “I don't understand why they did that. Why would they do that? Why are they like that?” Struggling to understand rather than accepting. Or even worse criticizing, shaming and/or “joking” about someone's character traits.

It isn't up to us to try to understand the mechanics of what others do or do not do. Acceptance is much more valuable. For some people, understanding is their gateway to acceptance. I'm all for it, if taking the time to truly understand yourself and/or others leads to acceptance.

This post is dedicated to our 6/3 children and our 6/3 inner child. To learn to love ourselves even when we don't understand why we do things sometimes and when we feel misunderstood.

Self-awareness leads to self-acceptance.

Beautifully You

You know how you've been known for being the kid that breaks things and bumps into things? It's often pointed out to you and you're sometimes made to feel bad about it.

Your Human Design Profile will help you and others accept that it's part of your DNA. To help you and others not to fly off the handle when you bump into things or break things, but to be a little more patient with these character traits.

Others can say, “Be careful” until they're blue in the face. They can lead by example and give you consequences for breaking things.

Nonetheless, you are still going to bump into things, people, and places:

• Things: It's been said that sometimes bumping into things can also be a trauma response. That's something you'll have to work through to see if that fits for you. However, you might still bump into things, break things, feel clumsy, and be accident prone.

• People: Bumping into people is the way that you learn the lessons you're meant to learn.

• Places: The saying of being in the wrong place at the wrong time or the right place at the right time fits in with your 6/3 Profile.

What is the Human Design Profile?

Your profile describes your character traits which is known as the costume of your purpose. It's a costume that you grow into. You can either be uncomfortable if you are living in a non-authentic way, conditioned, or masking your true self. Or it can feel like the true role you are here to live out.

You have two defining traits that influence your actions, expressions, and interactions. One from your conscious and the other from your subconscious.

Beyond your Type, your Profile is the second biggest influential force.

Human Design Profile, 6/3 is known as the Model/Martyr

The Role Model/Martyr is born with an ability to sustain their own direction.

Life works for you when you can embrace the chaos and confusion of your early years. To receive all the essential discovery and learning as this is the foundation for your valuable wisdom.

Having supportive relationships with people that you trust who provide the option to pull away or brake the bond when necessary in order to reconnect and strengthen it is ideal for you.

The sixth line of your (6/3) Profile

This is the Role Model and shows up in the conscious side of your Bodgygraph, so it’s something you may be aware of.

No matter where the sixth line is in your life process, the unconscious third line will pull you into subjective experiences.

The sixth line in your profile lives out three different stages:

Stage One:

• From birth to around 28-30 years old is one of exploring and living life through the third line which is process of trial and error, and bonds made and broken. It’s an external discovery process to find what works and what doesn’t work. Trial and error isn’t about mistakes, it’s about opportunities for learning.

• You will experience life as a profile 3/3 during this stage. See more under the third line explanation.

Stage Two:

• Between around the ages of 30-50 is an objective observation process. You are now pulling back from so much trial and error to absorb all that you have experienced from birth to around 29-30 years old.

• Now you are living as your 6/3 profile. However, your unconscious third line will continually pull you to engage in the experiential trial and error process.

Stage Three:

• From around the age of 50 years old and on, you experience the potential into role model status. From all your experimenting, trial and error, and absorbing the lessons you’ve learned throughout the stages of your sixth line; you have gained a tremendous amount of wisdom. You will be looked to as a wise and objective advisor.

• Your unconscious third line will still be ready for the next discovery, the next experiment that may disrupt the tranquility of the sixth line. Your life is a life of transition of engagement and disengagement.

The third line of your (6/3) Profile

This is the Martyr and shows up in the unconscious side of your Bodygraph, so it’s something that you might not be aware of but others may see it in you.

The great gift of the third line is discovering what does not work. You are our key catalyst of change by learning so much through trial and error and the discovery process.

Those with line 3 in their profile:

• Have a natural gift of challenging falsehoods. Often associated with scientific exploration but from the stand-point of what isn’t working.

• Can often be clumsy and accident prone but you are well equipped for accidents. You are very durable and have a body that heals well.

• Naturally bump into things and can feel as though the rug is being pulled out from underneath you.

• Are inherently and naturally innovative, ever-changing, trying, and leaping forward. You are an experimenter, explorer, and risk-taker. Brining a sense of adventure to life.

• When you live by your Authority, you experience the transitions into and out of trial and errors that are correct for you. Modeling for us the transformation that is possible when we are grounded in our body.

For Comparison

I have the Human Design Profile, 2/4. Which is considered a Hermit/Opportunist. The hermit is self-explanatory and fits me to a tea. The Opportunist simply means I prefer getting to know people that I work with, for instance. This profile is sometimes also referred to as the introvert/extrovert. More details about that profile on the Mother and Child Human Design Mini Reading post.
