Profile 6/2: Role Model and Hermit

Line 6, the Role Model, is described in this system as a life in three stages: until about thirty a lot of trial, then a period of watching from the side, and after fifty a maturity in which experience becomes a point of reference for others. This is the idea of the system, not a measured fact.

Line 2, the Hermit, adds a natural talent that works without effort and needs solitude. Together the profile describes a person who becomes an example not out of a wish to teach, but because something valuable has built up and ripened in them.

The profile is the line of the Sun at birth over the line of the Sun at the prenatal moment. The prenatal moment corresponds to the time the Sun stood 88 degrees earlier, roughly three months before birth. Every gate is divided into six lines; for 6/2 the Sun is on line 6 at birth and on line 2 at the prenatal point.

A line spans less than one degree, about a day of the Sun's motion. That is why an exact date and time are needed, and near a line boundary the profile can easily switch to a neighbouring one.

In our calculation on 2000 random birth dates from 1950 to 2005, profile 6/2 appeared in 15.4% of cases, first place. It is followed by 3/5 (15%), 2/4 (14.1%), 5/1 (14%), 1/3 (13.7%) and 4/6 (13.5%).

The reason is the Sun's motion. Between the prenatal point and birth it covers about 88 degrees, roughly 15.6 gates, around 94 lines. The personality and prenatal Sun lines are tied by an almost fixed offset, so only six pairs come up steadily, while six others, such as 6/3 (2.2%), are rare.

Profile 6/2 is placed in the left angle together with 5/1, 5/2 and 6/3. This is a path that takes shape through people rather than around a personal project. The right angle is called a more personal path, and 4/1 a fixed one.

For 6/2 this means the role of an example forms almost by itself while the person simply lives and does their own thing. There is no need to expect perfection early: the road is long, and early mistakes count as part of it.

At work these people open up with time: mentoring, expert roles, creative work, anything that values a mature view. They often need a quiet corner of their own and the right to work at their own pace. The profile guarantees no income and only describes tendencies.

In relationships there can be an odd combination: a close person is needed, and so is time alone. It matters to explain to a partner that a pause is not distance. One more feature is that an ideal is expected, so it helps to allow yourself to be an ordinary person.

Compared with 6/3 (2.2%), the difference is the lower line: the Martyr in 6/3 learns by changes of course and trials, while in 6/2 the natural gift does not require as much thrashing about. Compared with 5/2 (3%), the difference is the top line: the fifth lives under the pressure of others' projections, the sixth gradually moves into observing from a distance.

Compared with 2/4 (14.1%), the order of the lines differs: in 2/4 the hermit comes first with an emphasis on connections and a circle of acquaintances, while in 6/2 the road to maturity comes first.
