Influences of Alignment or Derailment – 7 January 2016

Thursday, 7 Jan 2016

The crazy energy of Channel of Transitoriness (35/36) is still active today, along with a new Channel of Surrender (26/44). Specific Gate transits involve Mars and the Moon.

Mars transits today at Gate 28, Line 1 – preparation. This energy aligns well with the creative energy flowing from Channel 26/44. Attention to detail supports that flow of energy moving toward a successful outcome.

Channel 26/44 is the channel of surrender, of allowing ideas to manifest in nonresistance. The Moon is transiting at Gate 26 – censorship – allows me to stay focused on what matters, letting go of what doesn’t serve. Gate 44 from my natal chart indicates honesty and integrity.

Although many of the Gates remain the same, the Lines do change sometimes. Each line corresponds to a line on the I Ching hexagram and moves the primary energy of the Gate in either an intrapersonal or transpersonal influence. Intrapersonal influences make up Lines 1, 2 and 3, the focus is on the self; Transpersonal influences make up Lines 4, 5 and 6, with the focus on relationships with others. So when we see a movement in the Line numbers from self to self in relationship to others, depending upon the line involved, the energy influencing the Gate can change. Besides being an incredibly beautiful deck, this is where the Human Design Card deck is so useful. Each card discusses the meaning behind each gate, also listing each line influence. It’s easy to see how the flow of influence changes that way. I highly recommend them as a handy resource when studying Human Design.

Each line represents:

1. Investigator
2. Hermit
3. Martyr
4. Opportunist
5. Heretic
6. Role Model

After a bodygram is done for someone, a profile is created reflecting which of these six lines is the dominate influence during both the Design phase (88 days prior to birth) and the Personality phase (day of birth). In my case, I have a 6/2 profile, one of a Role Model and Hermit. The first number reflects influences within conscious awareness and the second influences that are more unconscious in nature. So, as both an empath and a witch as well, I tend to hide out while still wishing to express myself. But with the Emotional Inner Authority of the Solar Plexus Center dominate, I have to wait for an invitation before expressing myself. Because empaths think so quickly, it’s tough to wait, although it’s always the best choice for me to make.

Line 4 is the influence for both Gates in Channel 26/44. Human Design tells us that Line 4 is the Opportunist. That can have a negative connotation, but not so here. In Understanding Human Design: The New Science of Astrology, Karen Curry defines Line 4 this way:

If you are a fourth line profile (1/ 4, 4/ 1, 4/ 6), your relationships are very important to you. You probably have gotten some of your greatest opportunities in life from your social network and your friends. The fourth line energy is gregarious and deeply rooted in relationships. If you are a fourth line, you have a lifetime process of getting to the foundation of what it means to be in relationships. You care, and you care deeply.¹

Change can also be an issue with an Line 4 influence. Living with the unknown is not always comfortable. I prefer to know the road ahead and these days that’s not really possible. Which makes the influence of surrender and nonresistance so important to successful outcomes. I’ve been learning to let go and not try to know all aspects of everything under the sun. Hard for an empath, so I’ll rephrase that and say that I should not focus upon all aspects of everything under the sun. Knowing them..well, I have no choice there.

So this was cool looking at channels. I really love Human Design..it’s so interesting and so right on.

See you tomorrow!

~Blessings!
