The 12 Profiles, by Angle

Your profile is the costume your purpose wears: two lines, one conscious, one unconscious. But profiles don't all point the same direction: the three angles divide them into three kinds of destiny. And beneath the lines sits the Color layer, creating the 72 True Profiles.

Right Angle · Personal Destiny

About 63% of people. Right Angle profiles live a self-referential purpose: the karma is your own, and the destiny unfolds through your personal process of investigation, trial, retreat, and networked emergence. Others are part of the story, but the story is yours.

The 72 True Profiles: Color & Motivation

Two people with the same profile can live it in profoundly different ways. The reason sits one layer beneath the lines: the Color of your Personality Sun, which sets your Motivation (Fear, Hope, Desire, Need, Guilt, or Innocence) and carries a transpersonal role archetype: the Teacher (Color 1), Guru (2), Priest (3), Prophet (4), Messenger (5), or Buddha (6). 12 profiles × 6 colors = 72 True Profiles, each a distinctly personalized expression of purpose. Your free chart calculates yours to the minute. For how Color fits inside the full stack beneath the Line, and what happens when the wrong Color gets captured, see Substructure.

Explore your color from your profile page above. Each profile links its six True Profile variants.
