The 6/3 Profile in Human Design - The Role Model Martyr

The HD Your Biz® Show - Human Design for Business with Jamie Palmer

On today's episode of the HD Your Biz Podcast - Human Design for Business I continue the deep dive into the 12 profiles series in human design. On this episode I dive into the unique personality profile of 6/3 Role Model Martyr profile in human design who are here to test the limits of what is possible in this work and be of council and a leader in the world when they embody their own autheticity and balance observation with experiementation

hey are characterized by a cycle of engagement and withdrawal, with three distinct life phases: birth to 30 years, 30 to 50 years, and 50 years and beyond. The six three profile is often seen as chaotic due to their constant engagement and disengagement, but this is part of their process. They are driven by curiosity and a desire for perfectionism, constantly asking "what's next?" and seeking to experience more. Palmer suggests that six threes need to learn to trust their strategy, soften their extremes, and honor the ebbs and flows of their life. They are encouraged to view their experiments not as failures, but as lessons learned.

The six three profile, the role model martyr, or as I like to say in Ecocentric human design, the mentor expert you are here to taste. All that life has to offer. You see possibilities where others see an end. You push us forward by leading authentically and objectively. Your awareness and experiments give you a unique perspective on the world. Each encounter with another has the potential to create transformation in your world. You push humanity forward with the unique way you see the world. You are here before your time, a catalyst for change in the world. Your wisdom gained through lessons learned, creates a lasting impact on those you've never even met. You shine the light on a new path and pave the way forward. Okay, so let's dive into the six three profile. So when we think about this energy, we've got the third line, which themes are rejection and allegiance, bonds made, bonds broken.

And then in the sixth line, we've got these themes of not trusting, trusting, not leading, leading. And the reality is when we come to this profile, you have to understand that when we have a six three, they are preparing us to start a new in the one three. So the six three is the last of the 12 profiles, but it actually preps for us to start the cycle again in the one three. And so it's prepping the stage. It's like it's constantly asking, is this worth it? Is this not worth it? Still more things here. How can we test this?

And so we have to understand that the six three is here to move humanity forward. And they are here to own their own uniqueness and really just be true to themselves above all else. And they find this understanding and objectivity through the lens of their interactions. And every encounter they have with another person renders that person a transformation. And these are people who live a life of engagement and withdrawal and engagement and withdrawal over and over and over and over again. And of course we've got a six line. So it exists in three phases, right? Phase one birth to 30 years. This is a double third line. So there's a lot of bumping into things. There's a lot of life bumping into them. They're jumping into things, they're jumping out of things, they engage and they disengage and they make bonds and they break them.

And then phase 30 to 50, these six threes tend to run to the roof really quick and totally disengage from life for a period of time. And they just observe. And it's often also during this time where they get really bored and that boredom jumps them off the roof and they go experiment some more. And then they're like, oh, why did I even come down here with the people? And then they go back up. And the reality is, since that third line is on the body side or the subconscious side or the design side, they often have life unknowingly happen to them. They kind of unknowingly enter into experiments because they're not necessarily conscious of it. Like a three five kind of knowingly enters into experiments or a three six sort of knowingly enters into experience. The six three isn't as aware that they're entering into an experiment.

Experiments happen to them. Experiments help them gain wisdom so that they can fully engage in life. And then it's usually in phase three, 50 years and beyond where they spread their wings and they integrate all of the lessons from the first 50 years of their life. And really this is the time when they will step into the role of a leader or not, depending upon if they're in the high expression or the low expression. And it's during this time where they lead by leading with the people. They lock arms with the people, they get down with the people, and they just embody leadership on the ground, right? Versus the six two, they're leading almost from a place of counsel sort of behind the scenes. The six three is very getting their hands dirty leadership. And ultimately, this is how the six three finds fulfillment in life.

And they want every interaction that they have to be authentic and bring a new level of awareness. And I always think of these people as old souls, wise old souls, and they've gained so much knowledge through practical hands-on experience. And they have this also weird awareness of other people through the observations from being on the roof. And the reality is this profile from the outside looking in can really almost look like they're chaotic because they're going to engage in something and then withdraw and engage and withdraw and engage and withdraw. And the reality is that's how they're intended to move about the world. And they have to sort of mind the balance of the extremes that they feel pulled to experience. And extremes are part of their process, and they move humanity forward through their extremes, through their questioning, through their experiments, and by sampling all that life has to offer.

But extremes and chaos are ever present in the six three. And this can bring lots of challenges in their relationships. They want the truth all the time. They want connections all the time. And yet they, they're questioning, they're oscillating back and forth. They're in, and then they're out. They're weary to connect, and then they're not. And they question and they push and they really wonder what else is possible on this plane while doing it on their own terms and with their own authentic flare. And they're under constant tension to engage in this life and to evolve and to transition. And they're often judged by other people as chaotic.

They're judged for their changes that they make. They're judged for their failures that they have with their experiments. And the reality is these are people who also get bored being on the roof because observing everybody, observing everybody, like I just want to go down in an experiment. And it's almost like their body takes over and enters them into experiments. And this cycle is going to repeat, repeat, and repeat until they can find something that they're passionate about that it's with worthy of them to stick with. And so the challenges here are many. And the reality is this is a profile that's here to impact the collective. And they are here to push us forward by being on the roof and observing and by getting off the roof and experimenting and experiencing. And while the six three life may have a lot of ups and downs, they are a treasure of a human and they're keenly aware that they're ahead of their time and they just can't seem to fit in.

And they see things that other people can't see yet or have not necessarily come into the peripheral of others. And so the challenges here are of course, phase one, double third line, which is incredibly chaotic. The wounds here are often very traumatic. For the folks that experienced this, they bump into life, they bump into them. But the reality is the experiments and the quote failures that they have is really what helps them embody wisdom as they move throughout life. This is a time when they might struggle to trust. They feel like this can't be all that life has to offer. And as a result, this can lead them disengaged, distrustful, and frustrated. The other thing Is the six three gets bored quickly and they have to learn to channel that boredom into something that's worthy. And the third line on the body side pulls them into life and can leave them wondering, how did this happen?

They can have a chaotic process. They can kind of look frantic or chaotic from the outside, and that can potentially be traumatizing from swinging, from engaged to unengaged boards to stimulated observing, to experimented. And the reality is they have to learn that they're experiments always bring about something better. And there's a lesson there to be learned. And so the six three is under tremendous judgment because they may not look like they have it altogether or that they're a mess or that they're a failure. And the reality is that often just leads to more extreme behavior. So for those of us who have a six three in our lives, we need to actually meet them with compassion and give them a safe place to experiment, a safe place to help them sit in a holding pattern if that's what they're called to do. We also need to be able to conversely hold space for them when it's time for them to engage in life and move from experiment to experiment without judgment.

Because the reality is the six three wants connection and they lead by being in the thick of it. And they have this wisdom and objectivity from their observations and their experiments that is really different than the other profiles. These are people who are here to test the limits of what is available to us on the material plane. They're really always asking and begging the question like, what's next? And there are people who are perennially dissatisfied, right? They're like, is this it? Is that all? There has to be more to life than this? And this results in a constant need to sample and experience more and taste more. And the reality is, the wonder and the curiosity of the six three is insatiable, and it also leads to a need for perfectionism as a result. And there's this constant, particularly in that sixth line that wants to tweak and hone and tweak and hone and perfect.

And that third line wants to gain more knowledge, gain more experiments. And so there's a constant tension in these lines that people have to really learn to reckon with and learn to contend with as part of their experience. So one thing here is to really learn to trust and rely on your strategy. That is so important for six threes. And they must learn to soften the edges of their extremes, particularly with other people, so that they can hone their objectivity. Yet for them, that fulfillment does come at the edge of those extremes, right? And they really need to just learn to honor the ebbs and flows of their life and understand that they are people who see possibility with their awareness in the world. And as a result, they may get rejected and labeled, but they are here before their time with a keen sense of awareness of what's possible.

And they might be met with resistance because something that they're doing is new or out there and they see possibility in something new when things come to an end. So the six three really, it shows us by living through example, that authenticity is the key to living a fulfilled life, and that there is more that's here on this plane. Some questions to ask a six three profile. What did you learn? What possibilities are available? Is this relationship where I need to reestablish a bond or break it? What is my relationship with my experiments? Do I see them through the lens of failure or through lessons learned? Am I entering into this with my strategy and authority? Or am I relying on my logic? Where might others be passing judgment on me that is causing me to shrink my power? What is my relationship with failure? Is it part of who I am or is it just how I experience the world? What have I learned from bumping into life? What is authenticity to me? What makes me unique? And have I found someone who accepts my process of experimenting? That is the six three profile, the role model martyr in traditional human design, or as I like to say, the mentor, experi mentor. Thank you so much for tuning in. We'll talk to you all soon.
