Profile – Stabilizer/Adept (4/6)
Profiles are derived from the number after the “decimal” in the gate numbers (referred to as the “line” for the gate) for the outward expression side of my Life Purpose. My gates are 55.4 & 34.6, so my profile is 4/6.
My profile describes major life themes that I’ll encounter and illustrates more about the way in which I’ll interact with the world. It can help me know what I need in order to move toward fulfilling my purpose.
My profile helps me understand my learning style, what I need to feel secure in my decision making, how I relate to myself and others, and how I share my gifts with the world.
There are two numbers in a profile. Each number represents specific archetypical themes that influence my experience of the world. The numbers in my profile inform me about what’s necessary in order to feel confident and strong in creating a life I love and in making good decisions.
These two numbers operate in conjunction with each other. The needs of both of the archetypes in my profile have to be met in order for me to feel at peace with my life and my choices. Growth often involves mastering challenges and finding ways to harmonize between the different parts of myself.
Many of the archetype combinations within the two lines of a profile present a puzzle to solve – two different energy themes that seem to be at odds with each other. Finding ways to work with both of these themes in my life can deepen my self-mastery, resilience, and self-acceptance.
When you live the wise expression of both lines in my profile, then I’ll see that both of these archetypes can complement each other and support me in fulfilling my life purpose.
Lines 1-3 are intrapersonal: themes that involve inner contemplation, personal understanding, and learning from my own experience. My profile doesn’t include any of these, but other gates in my circuitry do.
Lines 4-6 are transpersonal: themes that involve learning in relationships with other people. Both my profile lines are in this group.
Line 4 – the Stabilizer
PURPOSE:
• To build and be a part of community
• To prepare the way for sharing and spreading ideas
NEEDS:
• Stability
• Consistency
DRIVE:
• To build the support and opportunities necessary to be prepared for any situation that may arise
• To always have a back-up plan ready, just in case
FEARS:
• Loss
• Limbo.
I need the stability of knowing what’s next to navigate change in life. Since line 4 is transpersonal, I’ll probably seek stability through my relationships.
Another name for this line is The Opportunist, and it’s possible that others may see me that way at times. In truth, I’m not “opportunistic” in the negative way the term opportunism implies; I just need to have the details of what’s next lined up in order for the process of change and transformation to feel doable. This is particularly true prior to reaching maturity with Line 4.
For instance, I don’t like to quit a job until I have another job lined up. I don’t want to move or sell my house until I know where I’m going next. Being in a state of “limbo” or not knowing what the plan is can feel very unsettling for me. Because of this, I’m likely to be an expert at constantly creating contingency plans. This could be interpreted by others as a lack of commitment, but the truth is that I need to feel ready for any unexpected change in life.
I may not have realized this yet, but having Line 4 in my profile means that I’m designed to bring stability to situations and relationships. When I’ve matured into the wisdom of Line 4, I’m trustworthy, my relationships run deep, and I make change deliberately and with lots of planning and troubleshooting before I pull the trigger on action.
I’ll no longer need to create a new situation prior to leaving an old one because I have the wisdom to know that the source of stability is not in external circumstances or attempting to avoid something as inevitable as change; the source of stability is trusting my ability to navigate changes and adapt to new circumstances.
People rely on you and you are often the one they turn to when they need support and encouragement. You are also often a source of information for your friends and family because you’re always prepared for the next potential opportunity – or disaster.
Knowing what and whom to trust is essential for me. I’m very sensitive to criticism and judgement. I feel safe and confident when I’m surrounded by people I know and trust. When I have a healthy sense of self-worth and lovability, my friendships run deep and tend to last a long time.
Sudden, unexpected change can’t always be avoided and is part of life. The challenge for me is to learn how to navigate change with grace, even if I don’t know what’s next. Part of my life lesson is to learn to flow with change without always having the answers I crave and to not fear the process of change and transformation.
When I trust my ability to be prepared for any situation, change, or circumstance – and trust that the universe has my back – I become highly adaptable and capable of navigating change with ease and grace.
Novice Expression
• Being terrified of change
• Over-preparing for every potential
• Being so afraid of change that I spend my energy calculating all the worst-case scenarios so I feel prepared for disaster
• Failing to make needed change because the fear of change is overwhelming
• Being unable to recognize or enjoy trustworthy situations due to fear of impermanence (e.g., hypervigilance)
• Choosing situations that aren’t right for me solely because they offer some form stability (e.g., “gilded cage” scenarios)
If my ability to perceive my Intuitive responses is compromised and my self-trust is undermined, it becomes nearly impossible for me to feel stable, which creates tremendous distress for me and makes me more likely to stay in a situation that isn’t good for me.
I might have made choices in the past while unconsciously motivated by my valid need for stability and later feared that my intention was to “use” someone or that others may perceive that as my intention. A desire to prove that perception wrong (to others or to myself), may also keep me in unhealthy situations too long.
Lessons/Challenges
• To discover what is trustworthy
• To learn how to navigate the unexpected with trust, grace, and ease
• To trust that with experience, I’ll learn to skillfully discern how to make change in a way that gives me confidence and grace when faced with the unknown or sudden shifts in the landscape
• To learn how to build a new foundation confidently
• To learn to trust that I’ll know anything I need to know when I need to know it
People living from a place of fear who pick up on my sensitivity about being perceived as opportunistic could use accusations to provoke my desire to prove my intentions and thus perpetuate a dynamic that’s harmful to both people. Prioritizing my inner authority as my primary authority is the best way to remove power from controlling dynamics and feel certain about the truth of my intentions regardless of what others choose to believe.
Once I’ve gained initial mastery with these lessons, they’ll likely come up again in new challenges. If my behavior with a new challenge is in the novice direction at first, I shouldn’t interpret this as backsliding. These are simply opportunities to grow in new ways that strengthen my skills, and I should consider their occurrence to be a sign of my progress.

(These questions are designed to put out into the universe as a request to be shown answers. They’re good to ask before meditating or going to sleep. Tapping on the center of my forehead while I ask the question(s) will help provide a physical signal to myself of my intention to process this while sleeping).
If I want more insight, I can always request a message from the universe.
