Human Design Profiles, harmonic and not


Being a 5/1 sometimes feels like having locked in syndrome. I often think of the man who wrote the Diving Bell and Butterfly, lucidly trapped inside of something you people all around you interacting with who is not you while are there within, unseen.




This is true for every profile to some degree, but I'm noticing that some are more at odds with each other than others. In Human Design they call this being a "harmonic," or being "in resonance," which is just a fu-fu way of saying that it's easier.

If you consider the harmonic profiles you can see how easily they will work together. I guess it's important to add that I'm considering this from the point of view that the first number of the profile is how the person sees themselves, and the second number is how other people see the person.

The 6/3 for example. You have the trial and error body, everyone sees that you are pessimistic and that stuff is going to go wrong for you. You see yourself the same way for the first third of your life. When you go on the roof, people still see you the same way, but your so aloof you don't care.

The 5/2 and 2/5 are similar as well. You have the projection of the fifth line, either from other people (2/5), or from you on yourself (5/2), but you then you have this natural ability to back it up. So if you see yourself as a natural and others project on you, there's a similarity there in the way that those relationships are going to line up.

Then you look at the 4/1 and 1/4. Sure, it's insecurity all around. But at least everyone is in agreement.

Then there are the rest of us! the 5/1... Everyone sees it as insecure, and it sees itself as a savior. Paranoia anyone? The 2/4... Others see it as insecure, but it sees itself as a natural. The 6/2 ha! This might be one of my favorites. I've been meeting a lot of 6/2s lately. On the outside they look so sweet, almost innocent. But inside they are pessimistic and straight-forward. And, of course, there's the 3/5. The toughest of all profiles according to Mr. Ra. Other people project all their hopes and dreams onto it, and there it goes, error after error after error. Luckily, it never thought anything was going to go well in the first place, so it can handle it.

  1. Great explanation. Thank you for this. 3/5s are really resilient. And great point about the 1 and 4 line being seen as insecure, and when it's in the Design, everyone else sees it but the Personality is unaware.

    I will say, I've always thought the 5/1, 5/2, 6/2 and 6/3 have a much easier time with the 5 and 6 line than the 2/5, 3/5, 3/6 and 4/6. I guess it is just because if the Personality line is personal destiny, and the Design line is transpersonal karma, then it's kind of a theme of getting into something that is bigger than they realize at the time… you know, the 5/1 is so hyper-aware of the projection field. The 5/1 is so quick to say, "no no, that's not me," they already start thinking about how to let people down easily with minimal disappointment from the get-go. But the 2/5, say, is just going along and they're called out, and the other projects all these things on them, and they don't realize what they're getting themselves into! And then when the other is deeply disappointed, the 2/5 is left confused—why are you disappointed? The 5-line Personality sees it all too clearly as the projection field is their bread and butter…

    In any case, really happy to have found your blog here. Please feel free to contact me if you ever wanna discuss your Human Design findings! (I'm on Facebook!)

  2. What about the 3/1? And the gates of my incarnation cross are "not self".
    When i deconditioned myself people didnt understand me and judged me as depressed. I wanted to test the system if its not self fulfilling prophecy.
    I see a lot of weakness in people when it comes down to "believe system".

    Then again in the deconditioning period ive been judged by people with what they have themselves! That was an eyeopener. Still i feel like a lost soul. And struggle with certain gates.
