Hello Reader, As you enter this final week of 2024 and contemplate what may come your way in 2025, one element of your Human Design to consider is your Profile. If you don't yet have your Human Design chart, there are two easy ways to receive it.
Once you have your chart, take a look at the part of the report that says, "Profile." There are 12 Human Design Profiles:
Your Profile is determined by the position of the Sun and the Earth at your time of birth, as well as approximately 3 months prior. The numbers are referred to as "Lines" and are spoken of as '1st line' or '4th line,' etc. Your Human Design Profile is described as the costume you're wearing in this lifetime and you don't have to be aware of your design for it to show up in your lived experience. The Shock Of My 3/6 ProfileFor instance, when I first learned my Human Design info and discovered that my Profile was the 3/6 Martyr Role Model, I had an immediate reaction to the words. I hated the idea of being a Martyr and loved the idea of being a Role Model. I'd grown up with a mom who was always burdened by the feeling that she did everything for others and no one appreciated her enough, and that she was helpless to save herself from abuse and oppression. Basically, I grew up thinking of her as someone who had a martyr complex. Blend that with a potent Catholic-schooling influence and an early passion for reading about the lives of the Saints, and it was easy to see why being a Martyr was pretty repulsive to me. Now, a Role Model, that I could get behind. I loved the idea of creating a path for others by living authentically as myself. Trigger WordsAnd so, you can see how the words chosen to describe these Profiles are purposefully designed to catch the attention of the conditioned Mind. I had strong opinions about them that triggered quite a lot of my inner clutter. Diving deeper, I learned that, indeed, the labels chosen were intended to elicit an emotional response which opens doors into cluttered inner spaces. This made it possible to identify the various pieces of "inner furniture" that I'd been tripping over throughout my life regarding these two aspects of me. It turns out that the Martyr label, which corresponds to the number 3, is someone who lives out a process of trial and error, learning what doesn't work. There is a theme of making and breaking bonds with this aspect. There's also a unique kind of resilience in the face of the unrelenting bumps and crashes this kind of Profile creates and experiences. This wasn't the Martyr of Catholicism or of my mother. This was someone willing to undergo the trials of life in order to discover what doesn't work, and occasionally, what does. And while the Role Model label was very appealing to my ego identity, it brought with it some surprises. The 6th line Role Model has three phases of life. The first 30 years is lived as a 3rd line... as a Martyr, so bumps, bruises, and crashes. From 30 to approximately 50 years old, there is a phase of retreat and gleaning the wisdom of what those first decades revealed about what doesn't work. Then, after 50, living authentically as an objective Role Model, empowering others by example, and seeing into the future and what's possible. It Was True Whether I Knew It Or NotWhen I looked at my life through this lens of Profile, I felt a mixture of shock, recognition, grief, despair, and relief. Indeed, my first 30 years or so had been a series of crashes and burns. Some I'd created but many, particularly those in my earliest years, were the results of the actions of others. And in comparison to many people I knew, the first phase of my life had been quite tumultuous, disruptive, and painful. Before seeing it through the lens of my Profile, I had felt a lot of judgment, blame, and shame toward myself. Why had I crashed and burned so many times, which was so different from many others around me? As someone who knew me back in my 20's recently commented, "You just seemed incapable of making good choices for yourself." They weren't wrong about that; they just couldn't know why it was correct for me at that time. Until learning my Profile, I couldn't know why, either. Discovering my Human Design Profile let me see that the process I had undergone was correct for me, even if it hadn't been easy or simple. And, even if it had looked wrong to others. It also turned out to be true that all those trials, and especially errors, informed my awareness between the ages of 30 to 50, as well as now into my 60's. Now, I could finally appreciate the gift of that early continuously-disruptive ride. I understood the power of the 3rd line's ability to bounce back, time and again. And, I could stop judging, blaming, and shaming myself for having either created the crashes or at the very least not been better at preventing them. Now, For YouSo now, what can learning your Human Design Profile do for you? It gives you permission to embrace yourself and way of being. You can look at your life, the past, present, and even future, and see yourself through a clearer lens. For example, recently, a client was able to confirm their birth time, which enabled us to confirm their Profile. And, although we'd discussed the other Profile possibilities, when we were able to pinpoint their actual Profile numbers, their perception sharpened and became clear. It's a bit like going to the optometrist where they switch out various lenses so you can tell them which ones are more or less clear. When the correct ones are in place, the world comes into focus and feels fresh and renewed. You might have been somewhat able to see with a few of the different lenses, but it wasn't until you were seeing through the correct ones that you actually understood the difference. So, if you read through all the Profiles and are able to relate to various aspects of them, that makes sense since the line elements are found throughout the entire chart. This is why we all experience some of each of the characteristics of the 6 Lines. But when we see ourselves through the correct lenses, our vision becomes acute and powerful. And, there will be no mistaking which costume you've chosen to wear during this incarnation. All The World's A StageLet's take a closer look at the costume analogy. You've come into this lifetime having chosen your part in the play. Maybe you're the villain, the heroine, the wizard, the fool, or... Next, you choose how your character will be dressed. And, just like in a dramatic production, costuming has a powerful effect on the delivery of the story. This is the role of your Human Design Profile. And when you understand what the numbers and labels mean, you see yourself, your life, and others with greater clarity. This frees up an unimaginable amount of energy for you. And you won't know how much energy the confusion and lack of clarity have been draining from you until they're gone. Fortunately, one of the core philosophies of Human Design is... "Don't believe anything anyone tells you; experiment for yourself and see." You don't have to believe what Human Design says your Profile is or what it means. You can observe it for yourself. But, first you need to know what it is and what the numbers mean. So, reach out for help. I'm happy to get you started in discovering this extraordinarily specific and personal map called Human Design. *To receive your free Human Design report, including your Profile, send your first name, last initial, birth date, time and location to Zette@ZetteHarbourCoach.com (Please spell out your birth month)
