Profile 3/6: Martyr and Role Model

What is it like to stand in the middle of things and see them from above at the same time? The 3/6 Profile brings two lines together for this. The first number stands for your conscious side, the Personality, and the second for your unconscious side, the Design. On the conscious side, it's about trying things out and being right in the middle of it all. On the unconscious side, the sixth line sorts things out from a distance. There are two rhythms: the rhythm of experience and the rhythm of pulling back to a calmer vantage point. This raises the question of whether you should throw yourself into the action or stand above it. Experience and perspective can grow into wisdom about life.

The teaching describes three stages for the 3/6, with turning points around age 30 and age 50: the daredevil first becomes an observer, and later an advisor. The ages are approximate and are not a prediction.

As you mature in this Profile, you often come across as honest and at ease, carried by the humor of the third line. In this reading, others then see you as someone who has been through a lot, and as a person to turn to with questions about feelings, thoughts and life as a whole. Wanting to know how things turn out is typical of the third line. The sixth line can calm that restlessness, because it tends to foresee where running away would lead. If something feels confining, that can be part of this Profile's theme: having gotten involved in something that doesn't fit. The Profile carries the name “Martyr as Role Model.”
