6/2 Emotional Generator

If your life felt like it got off to a bumpy start, please know that’s a common experience for those with a 6/2 Profile. You have a really important role in this life and with that mission comes a long, transformative process for you to go through.

The “6”, most often referred to as the “Role Model” is ultimately here to become a wise elder who leads by example. To support you in becoming this you experience a lot in the first 29 years or so of your life. If you’ve already made it through this stage, you’ll know that you had many trials, challenges, hardships and so many adventures you could probably make a whole TV series about your life!

Thankfully, life settles down a bit as you approach 30 and you spend the next couple of decades focused on your own process. To become that Role Model you were born to be it’s important to prioritise healing and integrating as many of those experiences, releasing the pain and allowing the lessons to rise to the surface during this time.

Now, the other part of you, the “2” also known as the “Hermit” loves this stage of your Role-Model-in-making life because it lovvvvvvves being tucked away from the well-meaning intentions of others. Your Hermit self couldn’t really care less about teaching anyone anything.

This part of you just wants to study things that fascinate it, potter in the garden or around the house, read a good book or get lost in a wonderful puzzle. Self-absorbed, deeply spiritual, curious about whatever it’s into and blissfully ignorant about topics that don’t fascinate it, the Hermit is happy being alone for extended periods of time.

Your Hermit self doesn’t realise that the reason people keep knocking on your door, trying to get you to come out and play with them is because you’re naturally gifted and they want you to share these gifts with them. But you’re clueless. You don’t realise you’re gifted, so you might decline invites because you feel too shy to share what you know.

But when you feel seen, recognised and really appreciated you may just leave your safe haven after all. At least, for a while. In the right circumstances, with people who you feel can be your playful, childlike self, you may even express a bold, magical part of you that few people see.

And somewhere around your 50th birthday, you’ll feel the pull to come back into society and into the messy human society of which you are a part, and finally be the example that people so badly need.

Rather than the conventional leader who willingly steps into the spotlight, claiming attention and glory, you are the one who will quietly lead by demonstrating what true authenticity looks like. You’ll inspire others simply by being yourself.

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?!
