The 12 Human Design Profiles
Your profile describes your life's costume, your role, and your unique way of interacting with the world.
In Human Design, your profile is derived from the lines of your conscious Sun and unconscious Sun gates. It reveals how you learn, what you are here to do, and how others experience you. Each profile is a combination of two lines (numbered 1 through 6), creating 12 possible profiles that describe 12 fundamentally different life arcs.
The first number in your profile is your conscious line — the personality you identify with and are aware of. The second number is your unconscious line — the design body that operates below the surface and is often more visible to others than to you. Together, they create the unique costume you wear as you move through life.
Explore each profile below to understand its life theme, strengths, challenges, relationship style, and career alignment. If you do not know your profile yet, get your free chart to find out.
