3/6 Self-Projected Projector

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 😉

The term Inner Authority acknowledges that you have your own innate authority within you. That is, you are designed to be the expert on your own life. It tells us how you’re designed to make your best (that is, most correct and aligned) decisions in your life.

While there are a few factors that influence how each individual person is designed to make decisions, one of the most important ones is the info contained in your Inner Authority.

The one or two words right after the Profile numbers (as shown in this blog post title) is the Inner Authority. If this is yours then let me explain what that means, in a simple way, right now.

Self-Projected actually means what it sounds like: You’re designed to “project yourself” outward to know what you want.

To explain further, if this is your Inner Authority it means you need to talk out loud about what, in your heart of hearts, you really want.

Speak it out. Keep talking about the opportunity ‘til it’s clear.

If the thing feels good to talk about and you feel strong as you speak, that’s a ‘yes’. If the thing makes your throat constrict and you feel bad talking about it, that’s a ‘no’.
