Explaining the 6/2 Role Model Hermit Profile in Human Design

Okay, so let’s dive into the 6/2 role model hermit profile in human design. When we come to any sixth line profile, we have to remember that the sixth line exists in three phases.  Phase one is birth to roughly 30 years, and they live life more like a third line. They’re going to bump into things and life’s going to bump into them. They’re going to learn the hard way.

Then around age 30 to 50, phase two begins. Phase two is where 6/2s build the foundation of their life. They seek out a partner, they hone and refine their expertise. They tend to establish a family and a home base around this time, and they almost withdraw. This is even more extreme in a 6/2.

The reality is part of the reason why they withdraw. Many people talk about this is being on the roof. The 6/2 role model hermit profile in human design have these themes of trust or not trust, leadership or not in the sixth line. In the second line, it’s nourish or depleted, shy, withdraw, bold advance. 

When we come to the 6/2 role model hermit profile in human design, we have to remember six lines. I don’t believe six lines ever actually heal from the wounds of those first 30 years that they experience. It’s like a scab that never truly heals, it’s always still tender. Ultimately 6/2s need to find people that they can trust. It’s in that second phase where they cultivate and hone their inner circle.

That’s where the key relationships in their life are built upon trust. The reality is the sixth line, they’re idealists. They want to find the perfect partner. They want someone that they can relate to. They want someone that they can be proud of. Partnership for 6/2s role model hermit profile in human design can come in many different forms.I see it in the form of entrepreneurship. I see it in the form of a relationship with a life partner. 6/2s put up barriers to see who is willing to actually do the work to break them down and if the relationship is worthy.

Then we’ve got phase three and it’s around 50 that the 6/2 really starts to reengage with life. They step down from this place of observation and people call this coming off the roof. You don’t just come off the roof and stay off the roof. You go back and forth. It’s during this phase where they can step into their role model. Just because a 6/2 is the role model doesn’t mean they’re guaranteed to step into that mentor role model role.

Ideally in the high expression, this is where they are a living, breathing example of an objective observer and leader. The 6/2 is constantly being observed by the other. The 6/2 role model hermit  is getting noticed and called out for their gifts because that second line is a projection field. These are people who can actually provide feedback to other people without inserting their own interest or making it about them.

They are here and they listen to other people and they see hope for humanity. They also see the despair in humanity. They see the weakness and the frailness in humanity. Ultimately these people are people who are optimistic. The 6/2 role model hermit profile in human design sees the best in themselves and see the best in people around them. They want to see others bring their dreams to fruition in an on the line low expression.

The 6/2 role model hermit profile in human design is uncertain. It’s got a lot of hatred, distrust, and weakness. Their experience is a lot of weaknesses. It sees how weak humanity actually is and becomes withdrawn and doesn’t actually step into that role model. The reality is, in order for a 6/2 to be aligned to their high expression, trust is a key part of their life.

They won’t ever really kick someone out of their life, but they’ll hold that person at a distance. They’ll only engage with them on social or surface level. The 6/2 is a transpersonal profile it needs others to fulfill its destiny. When the 6/2 role model hermit profile in human design doesn’t trust or when they feel withdrawn, they’re going to struggle to actually live that out. They have a powerful ability to interact with the people around them when they can trust.

However, that second line doesn’t always recognize its talents. It doesn’t always know what it’s actually good at, yet people are constantly projecting on it what it is good at and what it’s talents are. It becomes incredibly important for the 6/2 role model hermit profile in human design to actually be discerning about what are they actually willing to come off the roof for and go down with the people.

What happens is when they go down with the people, they risk having their wounds from those first 30 years be poked because they are tender from that and six lines just simply being six lines can trigger people. Ultimately the 6/2 role model hermit profile in human design is here to be self-sufficient, to be visionary. It’s here to be optimistic. As they hone their process and start to maintain their objective perspective, if they don’t allow the fragility of the world to keep them down, they will really flourish and get their wings.

In phase two, they have baby wings. Then in phase three they really spread their wings. These are people who need to oscillate between engaging with life, coming off the roof, getting back up on the roof and going back and forth and back and forth. It’s important to understand that the words of a 6/2 carry weight, unlike other profiles, because the sixth line is almost as if they’re someone who is super human.

The reality is the 6/2 role model hermit profile in human design gains wisdom through observation. Unlike the fifth line that we’ve been talking about, for 6/2s everyone they meet, everyone they encounter has the potential to be transformed by the words of that 6/2. It’s important to understand that these are people who show the rest of us how to live an embodied life.

How when we can realize our potential that’s waiting to be discovered within us, we can live life to the fullest. The magic of the 6/2 role model hermit profile in human design happens when they embody their authenticity and they show up and they share their answers that they have within without the need for external validation from other people in order to transform each person with each encounter that they have.
