The 3/6 profile
The 3/6 profile pairs the Martyr or Experimenter (line 3) with the Role Model (line 6). It is a right angle profile, and the 6th line gives it a life story in three parts.

Line 3, your conscious side, learns by trying. You experiment, change direction and learn from what does not work.
Line 6: the Role Model
Line 6, the Role Model, is the unconscious side, and it lives in three phases. Until about 30 it lives much like a 3rd line, through trial and error. From about 30 to 50 it steps back to observe and heal, often called being on the roof. After about 50 it becomes a living example.
How the two lines work together
With line 3 conscious and line 6 starting like a 3rd line, the first 30 years can be full of experiments. Later you step back and make sense of it all, and in time others look to you as someone who has lived what they talk about. Much of your wisdom comes from the messy early years.
Relationships
You may try several relationships before you know what you want. Over time you look for a bond you can trust deeply. Partners who accept your past and your need to step back fit best.
Work
Careers may change more than once. Your mix of experience and perspective often makes you a mentor or guide later in life.
A question to sit with
Which of your early experiments are you now ready to see as wisdom?

Questions
What does the 3/6 profile mean?
It combines the Martyr or Experimenter (line 3) with the Role Model (line 6), whose life unfolds in three phases.
What are the three phases of the 6th line?
Roughly: trial and error until about 30, stepping back to observe from about 30 to 50, and living as a role model after about 50.
Why do 3/6s change so much early on?
Line 3 and the first phase of line 6 both learn by experience, so the early years tend to be full of experiments.
