Influences of Alignment or Derailment – 13 January 2016

Wednesday, 13 January 2016

Today’s transiting Moon at Gate 63 – doubt, Line 1 – composure accepts achievement with grace while still allowing for the possibility of more. And of course, my Channel of Transitoriness (35/36) still ongoing and active.

Transiting Venus at Gate 26 – the trickster, at Line 1 – a bird in the hand helps me to transcend limitation through dreams and activates once again the Channel of Surrender with my natal Personality North Node at Gate 44 – energy, Line 4 – honesty.

The Channel of Surrender (26/44) gives full expression and integration of the the trickster and energy respectively. An Ego Circuit Channel, Karen Curry tells us that this channel is the energy for sales and the presentation of ideas.¹

She also writes:

It is also the energy for truth and integrity, understanding the lessons from the past and transmitting these lessons.²

And:

With the 44/ 26 we see intuitive awareness to move an idea into form.³

I feel an inward composure today. I’ve been trying to slow things down a bit and take stock of everything that’s unfolded to date. Yesterday I indicated that I wanted to begin going over the nine Centers that make up the bodygram. Similar in nature to our chakras, they also correspond to various systems/organs within the body itself.

Personality Types, Channels and Gates

There are five personality types in Human Design. The Generator and Manifesting Generator types make up around 70% or so of the population, with Projectors next, then Manifestors, and then the rare Reflector type. But each person has a flow of energy that moves between centers in the bodygram, interacting with other centers via channels, or waiting for transiting planets or energies from others to activate the channels, or simply bringing a new energy to the day.

Here is an example of how one Gate (or end of an channel) can be affected by another’s active Gate on the other end. In our natal bodygrams, my husband (a Manifestor) has Gate 19 – advancing active, while my Gate 49 – revolution is also active. Together, these energies activate the Channel of Love and Marriage. We’ve been married for over thirty-six years, which is supported by the energy of intimacy engaged by this active channel.

Centers

Centers can be open or defined (white or filled with color), meaning only that the Center is either defined in a more fixed manner or it’s not. Beginning with the Head Center at the very top of the bodygram, energy moves downward to the Anja Center. From there, energy moves to the Throat Center, and at that point, energy can travel directly to the Spleen, Identity, Heart/Will and Solar Plexus Centers.

Next in the downward flow sits the Identity Center connecting directly with channels going to the Throat, Heart/Will, Spleen, Sacral. Downward to the right sits the Heart or Will Center. It connects directly to the Throat, Identity, Solar Plexus and Sacral Centers.

Continuing straight down from the Identity Center we find the Sacral Center. It’s connected to the Identity above, the Solar Plexus to the right and the Spleen Center to the left. And it’s the first Center we’ve come to that connects to the Root Center at the bottom of the bodygram.

To the right of the Sacral Center sits the Solar Plexus Center, the center of my Inner Authority which I’ll get to a moment. It also connects to the Root Center as well as Sacral, Heart and Throat Centers. The Spleen Center is positioned to the left of the Sacral Center connecting directly to the Root, Sacral, Solar Plexus, Heart/Will, Identity, and Throat.

Finally, we come to the Root Center at the bottom of the bodygram. It connects directly to only three Centers, the Spleen, Sacral and Solar Plexus.

The Bodygram

So when a bodygram is done, either for yourself or for someone else, a report is generated that tells you what type you are, your Inner Authority, Definition type, your profile numbers, and lastly, your Incarnation Cross. Let’s just say that I’m glad I have the software.

In my case, as we know, I’m a 6/2 Generator type with an Emotional Inner Authority. My bodygram shows three separate areas giving me a Triple Split Definition. The 6/2 profile is one of a Role Model/Hermit. The Emotional Inner Authority is Solar Plexus Center based, and my Incarnation Cross reflects a Left-angled Cross of the Clarion.

The Solar Plexus Center involves the kidneys and pancreas and expresses itself as an emotional wave. It seems appropriate to begin there given my Emotional Inner Authority.

If you are part of the 50 percent of the population that has a defined Emotional Solar Plexus, you carry emotional energy at all time. (5)

Because you experience emotion in waves, it is crucial that you honor your process. Emotional definition is always your authority, so no matter what type you are, wait until you have emotional clarity before you take action or respond. (6)

Understanding emotional authority will help you make better choices and significantly improve your chances that your mood won’t affect your commitments. If you have a defined Emotional Solar Plexus, you are not here to be spontaneous, though others will often put pressure on you to leap into things. Leaping into things without waiting for clarity will only create chaos in your life if you have emotional authority.

When you have emotional authority in your chart, you still use your strategy, but you need to wait until it feels right.(4)

So, I’m am empath that likes to share what I know. My Emotional Authority tells me however, that I need to wait for clarity before said sharing. My biggest struggle probably lies in the waiting. For me, everything is expansive and NOW. There’s an urgency in a wave’s peaks and valleys and I have a difficult time not initiating. Although I find it frustrating if I have to wait before sharing, particularly if I’m experiencing an energy wave that’s in either extreme, things always seem to go better when I do. And it’s not uncommon for me to reconsider sharing in the first place when I wait for clarity and calm to return.

What I really like about Human Design is its focus on our Inner Authority to craft the best strategy for successful interaction. As much as I might like to jump in to things, I’ve proven to myself time and again that it’s not the best choice. It’s great when we know whichever planet is having an impact on us, but Human Design gives us a way around it all, to respond in a way that’s proactive instead of reactive. And for an empath, that’s a real blessing indeed!

I’ll go back to the top and begin with the Head Center in tomorrow’s post.

See you then!

~Blessings!
