One of the twelve profiles
Profile 1/4 · Investigator / Opportunist
Consciously you build on knowledge, while unconsciously you build on people. What you study is easiest to pass on to those you already know, and opportunities come through them. The doctrine sees a profile of a personal path here, where a solid foundation and trusted bonds are one and the same condition.
Line 1 · Investigator · conscious
In Human Design doctrine the first line is the foundation. Solid ground here comes from knowledge: before you take a step you want to know what you are standing on, and you feel most secure once a subject has been studied to the bottom. Insecurity tends to signal that something is still unknown, not that something is wrong with you.
As your conscious line it is easy to recognise: a need to understand before starting, and trust in what you have checked for yourself.
Line 4 · Opportunist · unconscious
The fourth line builds on the people it already knows. According to the doctrine, opportunities come through acquaintances, friends and a close circle rather than through strangers. This line needs a stable base before it moves on, and it has the strongest influence on those it shares trust with.
As your unconscious line the network weaves itself without a plan. People around you connect with each other and with you, and offers come from those you know, often before you ask.
