A fundamental aspect of Human Design, that Ra Uru Hu calls the "costume" we wear, Profile combines two different aspects of our nature to reveal a deeper insight into our life's purpose and the way we interact with the world. Profile is referring to which lines are the Personality and Design Sun and Earth in. The Sun/Earth opposition in Human Design carries significant weight in the over all imprinting of your design, so naturally we can take these line placements into deeper consideration when analysing any Bodygraph.

Profiles are composed of two numbers, each ranging from 1 to 6, representing each line of the hexagrams of the I Ching. Each line of the hexagrams, represent different aspects of our personality and behaviour, adding extra flavour to each Gate. The mixing of these line combos form 12 unique Profiles, which provides valuable insights into our life path, interactions, and purpose.
The Six Lines of Human Design
To fully grasp the concept of Profiles, it's essential to understand the six lines that form their foundation. Each line has distinct characteristics and influences the way we experience life.
Line 1: The Investigator
Line 1 individuals are naturally curious and driven by a thirst for knowledge. They are the researchers and seekers of truth, delving deeply into subjects that capture their interest. All first line individuals have a strong need for a solid foundation of understanding before taking any kind of significant actions.
People with a Line 1 influence are meticulous and thorough. They often feel compelled to gather as much information as possible, ensuring they have a firm grasp on the subject at hand. This investigative nature can sometimes lead to patterns of perfectionism or self-critical thoughts.
Line 2: The Hermit
Line 2 individuals possess a unique blend of natural talent and a need for solitude. They are often recognised for their innate gifts, even if they themselves are unaware of them. This line's energy is characterised by a tendency to withdraw from the world to recharge and reconnect with their inner selves.
Hermits thrive in environments where they can retreat and reflect. Their need for alone time is not a sign of antisocial behaviour but rather a crucial aspect of their process for honing their skills and talents. When they emerge from their solitude, they bring with them fresh insights and perspectives.
Line 3: The Martyr
Line 3 individuals are the experimenters of the Human Design system. They learn through trial and error, often encountering challenges and setbacks along their journey. Line 3 individuals are generally more resilient and adaptable than any other line.
Line 3's are unafraid of taking risks and making mistakes. Their experiences, though sometimes painful, provide valuable lessons that contribute to their growth and wisdom. This line teaches us the importance of perseverance and embracing failure as a stepping stone to success.
Line 4: The Opportunist
Line 4 individuals are natural networkers and community builders. They thrive in social environments and excel at creating connections and fostering relationships through their strong sense of loyalty and desire to support others.
Opportunists are often the glue that holds groups together. They have a knack for identifying opportunities and leveraging their social networks to benefit themselves and those around them. There is an inherent understanding of the value of collaboration and the power of community.
Line 5: The Heretic
Line 5 individuals are visionaries and problem-solvers. They possess a unique ability to see beyond the status quo and identify innovative solutions to complex issues. Line 5 is naturally authoritative and have an innate desire to make a significant impact on the world.
Heretics often find themselves in leadership roles, where they can use their visionary insights to drive change. They are natural problem-solvers, always thinking outside the box and challenging conventional wisdom. This line teaches us the importance of courage and the willingness to stand up for beauty and truth.
Line 6: The Role Model
Line 6 individuals are like the wise elders of the Human Design system. They go through three distinct life stages, each bringing its own lessons and opportunities for growth. All Line 6 individuals go through a journey of maturation and self-realization.
Role Models often spend the first part of their lives learning from experience and making mistakes. As they enter the second stage of their journey, they begin to embody the wisdom they have gained, serving as examples for others. Finally the Role Model emerges having tried, failed and succeeded in their endeavours and are now embodied wholly in their wisdom.
Left, Right and Juxtaposition Profiles
In Human Design, Profiles are categorised into three distinct groups: Left-angle, Right-angle, and Juxtaposition Profiles. Each group has unique characteristics and life themes, which shape the individual's experiences and interactions with others. Understanding these differences provides deeper insights into how we navigate our personal journeys and fulfil our life purposes.
Left-angle Profiles carry a transpersonal life theme. This means that individuals with Left-angle Profiles are here to interact with and impact the lives of others. They are driven by the need to understand and connect with those around them, often playing crucial roles in the lives of their community or social groups. An easy way to tell the difference is that if the Personality Line is a bigger number than the design number, then its a Left-angle Profile. These Profiles, such as 5/1 and 6/2, are inherently social and often find themselves in positions of influence and leadership. Their journeys are interwoven with the experiences of others, highlighting themes of karma and reciprocity.
Right-angle Profiles, on the other hand, are focused on a more personal destiny. These individuals are primarily concerned with their own self-discovery and personal growth. Right-angle Profiles, such as 1/3 and 2/4, emphasize an introspective journey where the primary goal is to understand oneself. People with these Profiles often find that their path is less about direct interaction with others and more about exploring their unique gifts and potential. While they do impact those around them, their primary focus is personal development and fulfilment.
Juxtaposition Profiles stand at a unique intersection between the Left-angle and Right-angle Profiles. They possess a fixed life theme that is neither entirely personal nor transpersonal but rather a blend of both. The only Juxtaposition Profile is the 4/1. They operate with a sense of stability and balance, often finding themselves in roles that require them to bridge the gap between their inner world and the outer world. They are here to maintain a specific role or purpose that is crucial to the overall harmony of the human experience. Their life theme provides a stabilising influence, helping to anchor both personal and collective energies in a harmonious way.
Understanding whether a Profile is Left-angle, Right-angle, or Juxtaposition helps you comprehend the broader context of your life's journey and the ways in which you are meant to interact with the world. This understanding can lead to greater acceptance of your path and the unique contributions you are here to make, whether through personal growth, influencing others, or maintaining balance within the larger framework of human interactions.
