The 6th line brings a "sage on the mountaintop" vibe to the profile/gates it touches. If you're feeling uncomfortable with the "hero" role in which you've been cast in a particular situation, it's time to take a step back, ground, and reflect: 1) are others seeing traits in you that you don't see yet in yourself? OR 2) are others placing unrealistic expectations upon you that you can't possible meet? I feel a bit like a broken record here, but using your strategy and authority will help direct any Heretic energy correctly to determine whether or not you're the person to provide the solution in this particular scenario. The challenge with a predominance of 5th lines in gates and profiles is that there's a tendency here to project outward rather than reflecting inward, so the lesson to be learned here is to remember to hold space for introspection as a means of truly grounding yourself in the world. That said, projections are just that, and it's on the Heretic to *really* know themselves deeply so that they aren't committing their energy to solving problems that are outside of their integrity or aren't theirs to solve. Folks with a predominance of 5th lines are often projected onto by others as the hero who has come to their rescue. This line carries the most transpersonal karma. They play of the role of the "stranger of consequence," someone who is able to step in from outside the situation to offer a solution no one involved has considered. They bring a mesmerizing and inspiring energy to the 5th line. The Heretics are the warriors and the guides.
