The 3/6 Profile in Business: Strategies for Success!




In the world of Human Design, the 3/6 profile is a unique combination of roles—the Martyr and the Role Model. If you have this profile understanding how you operate in the world of business can offer valuable insights for both you and those around you


Introduction to the 3/6 profile

The 3/6 profile is the martyr/role model. For you trial and error bring out your wisdom. You are designed to gather new experiences. All 6th lines have a three part life process. During your first 30 years you operate as a 3, deeply involved in experiencing life, jumping from one experience to the next. From the age of 30-50 you take a break to observe life and process all that you've learnt but there's always a pull to re-engage with life because that's what the 3 does! At stage 3 you re-engage with life fully with a unique perspective. Trust and perfection are issues for you.When you have trust you feel secure. There may be pessimism for you when you engage in your messy trial and error process (this comes from the 3rd line) and you perceive that things didn't work out. Remember there are no mistakes! Yet the 6th line wants to maintain an optimistic attitude, you may swing between the two. The 3/6 needs time alone to be self absorbed form time to time, give yourself space to do this.
