Welcome to Unshakeable with Human Design, the show dedicated to

0:05

helping entrepreneurs use human design to shift from hustle to

0:09

flow without sacrificing results.

0:11

Come here to become an unshakeable human and build an unshakeable business

0:15

according to your human design. I'm your host, Nicole Laino.

0:22

Nicole Laino: Hello and welcome to Unshakeable with Human Design, everybody.

0:26

I'm your host, Nicole Laino, and it is our final episode of the Profile Line series.

0:33

I'm actually sorry to see this one go. I've really enjoyed talking about the Profile Lines for the last couple of

0:39

weeks with you guys on these episodes. Like I've said before, this is one of the most impactful pieces of human design.

0:46

I think that it tunes you into how to embody your design more than any other

0:53

one thing in your human design chart.

0:56

So obviously we have human design type, which is really important

1:00

because that gives you your strategy. It knows how you are meant to move through the world, how your energy gets used, how

1:07

people experience it, what it's like for people to be in aura with you, how the

1:12

universe speaks to you and delivers you the things that are in alignment for you.

1:16

Your authority that helps you decide whether the things that

1:19

come to you through your strategy are truly aligned for you or not.

1:24

And then the profile though, is who you're here to be.

1:28

So when you get into that world of being over doing.

1:33

How do I be this highest version of myself?

1:38

Well, your profile tells you what the highest version of yourself will act like.

1:42

It tells you what your path is going to look like, and it clues you into a lot

1:48

of information and ways that you can go about understanding whether you are

1:52

in high expression of who you're meant to be, and whether you are ultimately

1:57

walking the path of your purpose. Or are you denying parts of yourself that will help you get there

2:03

faster, and easier, and meeting the right people along the way.

2:07

Which is what human design teaches us. It's all geometry.

2:11

We are all on this path, living our lives and hopefully bumping into the

2:18

people, and the experiences, and the opportunities that will help us go

2:24

along the path toward our purpose.

2:26

And not away from it, not taking us on detours around it.

2:30

Now we can do that with our conditioning, where we have

2:33

something that we are avoiding. We have ways that we behave to protect us, that keep us from living that

2:41

purpose path, where we're not listening to our strategy and authority, where

2:44

we're letting the mind lead us, or we're letting our trauma lead us.

2:47

So human design is this beautiful tool that helps us figure out

2:51

what is in alignment for us. And profile, like I always say, is the biggest bang for your buck in my opinion.

2:58

I think it is the clearest open window to how you start to live more in

3:04

alignment with who you were meant to be. Every step that you take to embodying your profile just feels more and

3:11

more like you're coming home. It feels more and more like yeah, I get this, I see how I

3:16

really am destined for that. And your profile can be scary.

3:19

They're big shoes to fill. The potential of every profile is incredible.

3:26

But a lot of times if we're not naturally doing it, if we're not living in alignment

3:30

with those gifts, we might be shying away from them, we might be playing small.

3:35

And if we are playing small, if we are hiding, if we are not stepping boldly

3:41

into what it means to be our true profile, to be truly us in this world, then we're

3:48

going to find that things are just not working out for us the way that we want.

3:51

That can result in us working a whole lot toward things, feeling like we're

3:55

showing up, but nobody's listening or nobody's buying, or I don't know why

4:00

I'm just not making the right contacts. There might be a way that you're meant to make contacts that you're trying

4:05

to go about it another way, because someone told you to do it that way.

4:09

We're going to talk about the six line today, line six, top of the hexagram.

4:15

Every gate has six lines in it.

4:17

That's really what we're talking about. So your conscious sun gate will have six lines.

4:23

So we have the opportunity to have lots of different lines throughout.

4:26

We all have them. So as you listen to the series, you probably heard some things in

4:31

lines that were not part of your dominant profile where you're

4:34

like, oh, that resonates with me. Well, look at your chart and see if you have lots of those lines

4:39

down the columns on the gates along the sides of your chart.

4:42

Do you see a point 3 a lot?

4:45

Then that might be why the 3 line really resonates with you, but you're a 2/4.

4:50

These are ways that you can start to play with this. But when we talk about these lines, and we're talking about the main profile,

4:56

this is going to be your strongest energy. This is going to be the role that you are dominantly playing in your life.

5:01

This is the one that you're really going to want to embody.

5:04

So the 6 line brings us to the end of it.

5:07

We have 6 lines and then we move on to the next gate we would shift over

5:11

into after you come out of the 6 line.

5:14

They're all special, but the six line is unlike any other.

5:17

The six sits on top, and it's almost like it's sitting on the

5:23

roof or the spire of the building.

5:26

Where it gets a completely different vantage point than the rest of us.

5:30

It is looking backwards and forwards.

5:32

It can see each of the lines and it can look forward into the future.

5:38

The potential for it is great wisdom.

5:41

So it has this bird's eye view of life for most of its life.

5:46

And we're going to talk about the three stages that the six goes through,

5:49

which makes it completely unique. No other line has this same path that the six does.

5:55

These specific milestones throughout the life of anybody who carries a six line as

6:01

one of their prime gift profile numbers.

6:04

Let's talk about who gets a six line. If you are a 3/6 profile, a 4/6, a 6/2 or a 6/3, this episode's for you.

6:15

This episode will pertain to you if you are any of those profiles.

6:19

In traditional human design, the sixth line is called the role model.

6:24

It's the only one that doesn't sound kind of awful. The investigator, I guess, is fine.

6:28

But the rest of them don't sound terribly fun or appealing.

6:32

But the role model actually sounds kind of good. It's like, oh, you're a role model.

6:36

I could live with that. That doesn't sound so bad.

6:38

Just like I gave all the others, I give them kind of an archetype

6:41

of my own, because I think that it helps to understand.

6:45

With the six, I think it's the potential to be a role model.

6:48

And what can confuse people is they think that they need to be perfect all the time.

6:51

And that is the mark of a six. They can be a little bit perfectionist type, particularly about themselves.

6:59

They can be perfectionists and not terribly forgiving of mistakes

7:04

for themselves and sometimes for others, depends on the person,

7:07

but definitely for themselves. I find that sixes can be very hard on themselves.

7:12

And part of that can be trauma from that first stage of life, which we're

7:15

going to talk about in just a second. But I want to tell you the archetypes as I look at them, because I think

7:19

they can help you see how the doing can lead to being, because

7:24

that is what this is all about. The more you are acting like your profile, the more you are stepping

7:29

into that character that you are here to play in this life, the

7:34

more you become that character. And it's not about slipping on a skin that doesn't belong to you.

7:39

It's about stepping into your potential. And it's about stepping into your purpose and claiming it and owning it.

7:45

So that's the difference that I want to draw.

7:47

We are not talking about faking it. We are talking about really stepping in and saying, I am meant to be this.

7:55

How am I denying that?

7:58

How am I not owning it? And how can I more fully step into it with power and with

8:05

some form of acceptance of it?

8:08

So the archetype that I gave the six of being, that if you were being this as a

8:14

six, you will start to become the higher version of it, you can become the role

8:19

model, is the archetype of the wayfarer.

8:22

And a wayfarer is traditionally known as like a traveler, somebody who's

8:26

making their way through life, maybe not knowing where they're going, but always

8:32

picking up something along the journey.

8:34

That they're not focused on necessarily the result.

8:39

It's like, I'm going to walk to walk.

8:42

And I'm going to trust that the journey itself holds greater value

8:49

than I could ever find on my own.

8:52

That it needs to be walked in order to be realized, in order to be

8:56

understood, in order to be seen. So by living life as a wayfarer, as a six line, you have the

9:04

potential for your business, for your brand to become the sage.

9:09

Really what we're talking about is, you have to live your life as a six.

9:13

It's imperative for the six to live their life.

9:17

If you're a 6/2 or 6/3, you have that transpersonal profile.

9:21

You have that need to share, the need to connect, and you may not feel

9:26

necessarily like you want to connect with people all the time as a six.

9:29

The six is known to be aloof, can go arrogant at times, but just

9:34

sort of reserved, pulled back a little bit, close to the vest.

9:38

But you have to engage with people in order for your purpose to be fulfilled.

9:44

And even if you're not, they're going to find you.

9:47

That transpersonal profile, that 6/2 6/3, is going to need people,

9:52

need outside connection, in order for the purpose to be fulfilled.

9:57

Now if you have the six in the back, you have that 3/6 or the 4/6 profile,

10:00

it'll be different for each one of those. You are going to have this role model potential, this sage potential.

10:08

It's going to be something that other people see in you more than

10:11

maybe you see it in yourself. That can be a valuable thing to understand.

10:16

Whereas if you have that in the front, this is going to be very

10:18

much how you go through life. If you're a 6/2 or 6/3.

10:21

You're going to be very identified probably with this entire

10:24

thing that I'm talking about. So let's talk about those three stages of life that all sixes go through,

10:31

no matter where you have a six. And if you have a six in any gate in your chart, like I'm a 5/1 but

10:37

I have a lot of sixes in my chart, I have a lot of six line energy.

10:40

Every single one of those gates goes through this process.

10:43

Every single one of those gates goes through this maturation process that

10:46

we're going to be talking about. So the three stages of life is incredibly important to understand because we're

10:52

talking about that wayfarer sort of role, understanding that the journey matters.

10:58

Well, the six line goes on a journey of its own.

11:00

Over the course of its life, it starts out from birth until 30 years

11:05

old, it operates like a three line.

11:08

But it's not a three. It operates like a three.

11:12

It is finding its way through life through experimentation.

11:16

Through trial and error. through trying things out and them maybe not going so well.

11:23

Life bumps into you, you bump into life, and that's how you learn.

11:28

But the six is not a three and doesn't necessarily have that same resilience

11:32

that the three has to shake it off. The six can take it personally.

11:37

The six can be very hard on themselves. I should have known better.

11:40

I should have done better because it knows that there is

11:42

this greater potential for it. I think every six is born with this feeling of, I'm going

11:51

somewhere and I don't know where. Life's going to take me on a journey.

11:55

Life's going to take me on a ride. And I don't necessarily know where that ride is going, where

12:02

that journey leads ultimately.

12:05

So they can be very hard on themselves. Sometimes with sixes, they can end up getting really down on themselves, down

12:13

on the world, pessimistic, just not really feeling terribly hopeful about

12:19

life if the first 30 years were rough and they beat themselves up for it.

12:24

Right? They might get into trouble, they might have gotten into a relationship that

12:28

they don't feel like they can get out of now, can feel really stuck by the

12:32

choices that they made as a three, and then when you get to the age of 30,

12:36

30 to 50, they climb up on the roof.

12:39

So life was bumping into them, they were bumping into life for those first 30 years

12:43

and now they say I've had enough of this.

12:45

I'm gonna go climb up on the roof and I'm gonna watch everybody

12:50

and I'm gonna observe life now.

12:53

And I'm going to reflect and become more introspective.

12:58

This is where the inward journey begins.

13:00

The first 30 years of life is an outward journey. Let me try this, let me do this.

13:03

Oh no, that broke. Ah, what happened there?

13:06

It can be really rocky, can be really rough.

13:08

And then that second 20 years, the 30 to 50, that second phase, They're

13:13

saying, let me reflect on this. This might be where they learn to meditate.

13:17

They settle down, the family grows, they start to settle into a career, all those

13:22

things that come with a Saturn return. But then also maybe removing themselves a little bit from the action, paying

13:29

more attention to themselves, to their process, maybe reflecting

13:32

on those first 30 years, and then also observing things around them.

13:36

They're starting to pay attention to other people in a different way.

13:39

This is also when other people start to see the potential of their

13:43

gifts starting to come through. You start to see how this person has this potential to help in some way.

13:52

And it's not a problem solver like the five, it's different.

13:55

It's a much more spiritual leadership than tactical practical leadership that

14:01

you get with the five, but leadership all the same and people sense that.

14:06

So they start to get recognized for it at this stage, when they're on

14:10

the roof, people start to notice this, if they are interacting enough.

14:15

Then we go up at the age of 50, the Chiron return, they come off the

14:21

roof, they come down off the hill to be Buddha, to be the sage, to say,

14:26

I did it all in my first 30 years.

14:29

I watched it all, reflected on it all.

14:33

In that 30 to 50 range. And now here I am with all the wisdom that this journey has provided me, has imparted

14:41

on me, and I'm ready to share it with you.

14:43

I'm ready to tell you. Here's my book.

14:47

Here's my course. Here's why if you have a six line, one thing to pay attention to

14:53

always is just what phase am I in? It's really going to affect you.

14:57

Obviously we all go through phases. These are astrological cosmic events that are happening.

15:02

So, around 30 we have that first Saturn return which puts us all

15:07

into a different phase of our lives. But then when we hit 50, we hit that Chiron return.

15:12

That is another phase for all of us.

15:15

But this is a much more drastic, defined moment for a six line.

15:20

So, after 50, it's time for wisdom and it's time for sharing.

15:25

To really own your wisdom and to share it.

15:28

Now, not every six is ready to come down off that roof.

15:32

They're like, I'm good. I don't like what I see in the world.

15:35

I don't like what I see here. I don't think people will listen to me.

15:38

I don't think I'm being valued. I don't really want to do it.

15:43

I'm scared. Any of those can be at play.

15:47

But it's important that you come down off the roof.

15:50

You can't live the rest of your life on the roof as a successful six line.

15:54

You have to go through these stages, and you have to at least

15:58

come down and start to share.

16:01

Does not mean that you have to share it with a big audience.

16:03

Does not mean that you have to make it your career. But it does mean that you have to go through all of this and

16:10

start to recognize, what have I learned and what do I know that

16:14

might be useful to other people? And not just throwing that to the side.

16:19

It's a time of great acceptance.

16:22

This is me. Warts and all, and I have something to offer, even if maybe it doesn't

16:28

look like it to the outside world. Really imperative.

16:33

And what can happen with people who have a 6, and looking at what stage you're in as

16:37

a 6 line, are you in that first 30 years?

16:40

Are you really trying, are you really allowing life to bump into

16:42

you, and are you allowing yourself to let it roll off when it does?

16:46

Not beating yourself up, not getting in your head about whether it was

16:49

good or not good, or right or wrong, or if you should have known better.

16:53

Can you learn the lesson? And can you move on from that?

16:58

And then the 30-50. This is where you're really going to want to reflect.

17:06

You want to turn inward. You want to allow yourself that time.

17:10

You want to allow yourself that space for reflection.

17:14

And notice what's happening. And a lot of people ask me, do I have to wait till 50 to share?

17:19

You don't have to, but six lines are a lot like Nonna's sauce, like the old

17:24

Italian grandmother that has the sauce or the stew, or a Latin grandma that's

17:29

making the mole that takes like four days to cook so that all of the flavors marry

17:35

properly and it all comes together and tastes the way it's supposed to taste.

17:40

And if you only do it for half the time or if you only do it for part

17:43

of the time, it still tastes good, but it's not what it could have been.

17:47

To me that's six line percolation.

17:49

That's the stewing of all the stuff.

17:51

That's the journey, the wayfaring that has to go on.

17:55

You have to be wandering, you have to be collecting your experiences.

17:59

And that does happen over time. Now does that mean that you are doing nothing and have nothing to share and

18:04

have no wisdom to impart until you're 50?

18:07

Absolutely not. It's just going to be different when you hit that 50 mark.

18:15

It's going to be a whole new level of flavor that you add.

18:20

And we don't necessarily know how that will happen.

18:24

Meaning we don't know what will be different because it's the

18:28

journey and it is the changes. You don't know what will be healed at that 50 year mark that

18:35

you had no idea was even there. These transition moments can be, sometimes they can be chaotic, sometimes

18:42

they can be traumatic, sometimes they can be really eyeopening, but they

18:45

can carry some real world shakeups.

18:48

That's what these transitions are about. We don't know what they will bring.

18:53

And for the six line, it's ultimately about your journey.

18:55

It's ultimately about your reflections, your deeper understanding.

19:01

about what works and how can we move forward.

19:05

The six line is about moving forward. It's always about transformation.

19:09

It's always about innocently looking forward and saying,

19:12

this is what I've seen. This is what I know, and here's what I know about the way we need to go forward.

19:19

That wisdom to be able to say, we don't need what we've always had.

19:24

I know it's been broken. I've broken it myself.

19:28

I've had time to think about that, and here's what we need to

19:31

do to make sure that we're moving forward in a positive direction.

19:37

It has to have hope, it has to have optimism, in order for the six line

19:42

to really reach its full potential.

19:45

So, I hope that you found this useful.

19:48

I hope you liked the series, please I would love for you to let me know.

19:51

I've really enjoyed delivering it. I honestly, I hope that you keep going with working with your profile and what

19:56

those two lines look like together, because that's a whole different ball

20:00

game when we start to marry them and we get the full profile of what you are.

20:03

You can go super, super deep with this, but I highly recommend that you work on

20:07

embodying and integrating this information into who you are, because that is where

20:13

you start to see the benefits of human design beyond the knowledge, beyond the

20:17

knowing, beyond the information is the integration and the implementation of it,

20:22

where you're embodying it in your life. That's where you'll start to see results, and that is where you'll start

20:27

to see real change in your life, where people are reacting to you differently,

20:31

where you're bringing a new level of yourself and your work to the world.

20:35

So if you can do that with. Things like this with the podcast and you're out there and

20:39

you're using it, bravo, do it. But if not and you need help with implementation, I do encourage you to

20:45

find somebody, someone who knows what they're talking about, who actually

20:50

has embodied their design themselves, who is living this, not just reading

20:54

about it and regurgitating information. I highly encourage you to work with somebody so that you can get guidance on

21:01

this journey if you feel like you need it and be discerning about who you choose.
