3/6 Emotional Manifesting Generator

The 3/6 Profile, also known as the "Martyr/Role Model" goes through three very distinct life stages and the sooner you know this, the better you can navigate each one.

From birth until your Saturn Return (around age 29) you are really in the thick of life. During this time you are designed to have an incredible amount of experiences. Some of them will be good, some of them will be challenging. All of them are there to teach you something valuable you can use to help others in the future.

In the second stage, from 29 (ish) until your Kiron Return (around age 50) you withdraw from the chaos of life a little bit. This is your time to reflect on all the experiences you’ve had, to heal, integrate the lessons and gain a wider perspective.

During this stage, it’s essential that you recognise that none of these were “mistakes” or “failures” (despite what others, or even your own mind, might have to say on the matter). Rather, you simply worked out a lot of things that don’t work on your way to working out what does work.

In the third and final stage, at age 50 (ish) it is time to step back into the world again and lead by example as the role model you were born to become. This is when you get to share with other people the many, many important lessons you learned while navigating the ‘school of hard knocks’.

Your personal experience from your early years combined with the reflection and integration during your 30s and 40s (if done well) will allow you to see how your life experiences apply to just about everyone else.

This is how your hardships become valuable lessons for everyone who looks up to you. In this final stage, you are the example of what’s possible when we courageously experience and process all that life brings us.

If you want to ensure that you become that wise, authentic role model that you were born to be then during your early adult years (if you’re reading this before age 29) try to make peace with the tumultuousness of this time period and know that the intensity of it will end.

If you’re in your 30s or 40s, prioritise healing any pain you might still have associated with so-called “mistakes” or “failures” so that you can see the valuable lessons those experiences brought you. Keep healing and integrating until they no longer sting, until you no longer feel shame, and you can really truly feel at peace with everything you’ve been through.

If you already feel good about “failing forward fast” and “learning by doing” regardless of the mess it might create, then there’s nothing for you to do but keep doing you!

And if your life as a 3/6 ever feels too hard, dive into my suggestions above because they’ll help you make sense of the mess and ultimately make you better at teaching, leading, guiding, mentoring and/or inspiring others when the time comes. Because, after all, that’s what all the mess is for 😉

Emotional Inner Authority does not mean you’re designed to make decisions based on your emotions or that you’re necessarily an overly emotional person. It means that you need to reach emotional clarity or neutrality before you know if the thing is a ‘yes’ or a ‘no’ for you.

Forget trying to make on-the-spot decisions; you’ll end up regretting it later.

Try sleeping on it or at the very least, wait a full day or two. You’ll know it’s time to choose when the correct decision is obvious.

The third and final part of that shorthand label we use for your Human Design is what we call “Type”. Type refers to how your aura (or energy field) relates to others and the world around you.

It can show you a huge amount about how to make any and all relationships work better and is often the first thing people will ask you if they know anything about Human Design.

There are five Types in Human Design (though many teachers choose to split the world’s population into four Types instead of five. At this point in my Human Design journey, having heard endless arguments from both sides of the fence, I’ve come to the conclusion that neither is perfect and I simply choose to focus on what’s useful).

Each Type group is here to do something a bit (or a lot!) different from the other Types. And that’s perfect because we can’t all do the same thing. After all, how boring would that be?!
