Human Design is a system of self-discovery that combines astrology, I Ching, Kabbalah, and genetic mathematics. One of the most important elements of the system is the profile – a unique combination of lines that reveals your life roles, learning style, and interaction with the environment. In this article, we will consider all 12 possible profiles, their meanings, and practical recommendations for applying them in personal and professional life.
What is a profile in Human Design?
The profile is formed by two numbers that correspond to the lines of consciousness (design-consciousness) and the lines of subconsciousness (design-subconsciousness). Each line has its own theme: 1 – researcher, 2 – natural talent, 3 – experimenter, 4 – networker, 5 – projectant, 6 – role model. The combination of these lines gives 12 unique profiles, for example 1/3, 4/6, etc.
How to calculate your profile?
To calculate, a birth chart in Human Design is needed, which can be created based on the date, time, and place of birth. Online services (e.g., AstroWay) automatically determine your lines and form a profile. After that, it is worth getting acquainted with the characteristics of your type, center, and channel, since the profile works in synchronization with the entire system.
