This blog is all about the profile 6/2 in human design, which is the role model hermit profile. Now the sixth line, which is the role model line, is going to be your conscious aspect. This means that you are aware of these characteristics within you. Whereas the second line, which is the hermit side is something you may or may not be aware of it depending on the inner awareness that you have, but people surely see this in you. This is how the world sees you. Those are the two important aspects when it comes to your human design profile.

Human Design Profile – What is it?
After energy type, strategy, and authority, your profile is one of the other important characteristics that you are here to embody. This is something that you do have control over because this expression is the way you are designed to show up as – you are here to show up in the world as the 6/2 role model hermit way. This is something that you can control because this is very natural to you – this is your true self. When you don’t show up as your profile is when you are being not self or your false self.
The shadow side of 6/2 Role Model Hermit
Role Model Hermits 6/2s have a tendency to act like Heretic Investigators 5/1s. This is a shadow aspect within them. Essentially, many 6/2s may find themselves trying to study a lot and getting all these certifications, trying to get rid of imposter syndrome that they feel. Here is where they start acting like line ones who have this inherent thirst for knowledge, but that is not what a 6/2 is here to be. They also have this tendency in their shadow to fix to become problem-fixers, must like a line 5 (heretic).
These two are not a 6/2 role model hermit characteristics. If you are a 6/2 profile and recognize these aspects within yourself, please understand that you may be living out of your not self because that is not how a 6/2 is designed to be
Now lets explore each line for the role model hermit one by one
Human Design Line 6 – The Role Model
With sixth line in your human design chart, which is the role model line, you are here to become that role model eventually. However, line six has a long journey ahead of them.
Three Phases for the Sixth Line Personality
First Stage: Birth to Saturn Return (~ Age 30) – Learning Through Experience
With line six, the first 30 years of your life are going to be full of trials and errors, and you will make many mistakes. Line six is going to act like the third line during the first 30 years because it is here to sample all the experiences and go through all these highs and lows in life and accumulate personal experiences. There’s a reason behind why this is happening to you. You’re going to bump into a many things. Not all of them are going to be good, and there will be many lows and highs.
There is a lesson to be learned in these lows. So that is something to keep in the back of your mind; Anytime, you feel discouraged as to why your life is so hard – please remember that because you’re acting like a line three in the first 30 years, there’s this tendency towards perfectionism within you where you want to go onto the next best thing and the next best thing. And in that pursuit, you are going to go low and then you’re going to come back high – this mutation is through which you’re going to learn that lesson, and that powerful insight is going to emerge. So there’s a lot of value and creativity here, but at the same time, it doesn’t look pretty all the time, especially when you’re on the lower end of it. You are going to feel this inherent melancholy within you, especially during the first 30 years of your life. It never truly goes away with line six. This melancholy comes about when you are in the bottom spiral.
You will also make and break bonds until you are 30 – whether it is in relationships or career.
Second Stage: Saturn Return (~ Age 30) to Chiron Return (~ Age 50) – On the Roof
Once you step into the line six you enter the second phase, which happens after your Saturn Return around the age 30, it gets better, but the melancholy does stay to an extent. For the first 30 years, a lot of bonds are made and broken. You’re going on to the next best thing and the next best thing.
What happens after age 30 is that 30 to 50 you go “on the roof”, which means that you become isolated from the world in a way. You really don’t care. You don’t care to be out with people, you don’t care for anything else. You just want to do your own thing. And here’s where you’re on the roof and the purpose of being on the roof is for you to take all these lessons, all these experiences that you went through in the first 30 years, and then you’re assimilate these lessons. You go through from becoming a participant to an objective observer of these experiences and start learning and embodying these lessons. So, now you’re trying to understand what it is like to be a role model because you have all these experiences and you’re assimilating it and you are trying to make sense of it.
During the second phase, you start realizing what it takes to be a role model, but you’re not there yet. You’re still assimilating. There’s still a little bit of hypocrisy during this stage because you know everything that needs to happen to be that role model, but you’re not fully there yet i.e. these lessons are not embodied within you yet. So that’s something to expect between 30 to 50. You start seeing people for who they are and the world for what it is, but this is without judgement – from a very objective lens. You feel isolated from the world because you are not in the “materialness” of it all – you are somewhat removed. This is the sage that is meditating in a cave, fully aware of the battle going on outside, but not caring to become a part of it.
Third Stage: Chiron Return (~ Age 50 + ) – Role Model Phase/Coming Off the Roof
It is during your Chiron Return i.e. around the age 50 that when you come off the roof and now the sixth line is ready to become the role model with true wisdom. You know what it’s like to be a role model. You are the role model, and when people see you as a role model, it inspires them to become that role model themselves.
You’re here to be that wise sage that people look up to and you’re here to dispel your guidance to everyone else. You’re here to be that powerful teacher. That is line six for you. You start off as being a pessimist, and towards the end, you are this hopeful optimist. You’re here to give hope to the world. You’re here that role model who practices what they preach.
