Transit Talk – Nov 28th-Dec 4th

November 30 @ 12pm

‘Change’ seems to be the big conditioning influence for this week bringing the possibility of fears related to continuity and nervousness about impermanence. 

On Monday Saturn is moving into Gate 32 Line 6 – ‘the need to calmly face impermanence’- and late Tuesday Neptune moves into Gate 30 Line 5 – ‘recognition and dedication to transitory goals’. Then late in the week the Sun and Earth move in Gates 5 and 35 (respectively Fixed Rhythms and Progress) and this is all occuring against the continuing background themes of the Nodes which are also in Gate 5 and Gate 35, and Venus and Pluto conjunct in Gate 58 bringing the pressure to find what is stimulating. Venus moves into Gate 38 (the fighter) on December 4th and the possibility of feeling you have to fight for Change and Uranus is looking to test its spirit in Gate 25 (Innocence).

We also have the possiblity of an emotionally up and down week as the Moon moves through 6 out of the 7 gates of the solar plexus bringing a connection to Contraction (of feelings – Gate 41), Friendship (Gate 37) and Crisis (Gate 36).

There is also continuing pressure on the sacral center this week with the Sun in Gate 9 (Focus) for most of the week before it moves to Gate 5 (Fixed Rhythms) late on December 3rd. Inversely, Mars (in Retrograde) moves into Gate 5 (Fixed Rhythms) on November  30th and then into Gate 9 (Focus) early on December 4th. Add to this the expansive force of Jupiter in Gate 3 (Difficulty at the Beginning) this week – it meets with the Moon in Gate 60 (Limitation) on November 29th.

And communication about our feelings, emotions and desires might get sticky this week with Mercury retrograde in Gate 26 (The Egoist) and using willpower or manipulation to prove yourself to others.

All these themes are passing through you and may appear in your mind, subtly influencing your thoughts one way or another and they may affect how you feel or behave as well. However they don’t have to affect the true direction of your life. Your strategy and authority is the key to observing and transcending these forces and making decisions that are correct for you that keep you on your unique path.

FULL analysis available on Human Design Radio and Human Design America  early this week.

Living in the Real World

I recently had this thought pass through.

Everything I think about – that I think that I care about or am upset about or worried about – that nobody else really cares until my behavior effects them.

I wander around in my little bubble (I am a right angle profile and a Generator, so everything is about me and my personal destiny) thinking all sorts of things all day with my mind telling me I should do this or that or worrying about this or that but if I never shared any of it with anyone how would it make any difference in the world at all?

What really matters in my life is when my behavior affects someone else and they have to react in one way or another. This can include something I say but as a Generator my actions have a much more powerful effect.

It is through action that I move through life otherwise I am still and everything else is moving around me.

Likewise, through my aura and my frequency in the world, attract the people whose behavior will affect me so that I can respond. All I really have to do is sit and wait.

Just one extra person who is regularly present in my life can change my activity level enormously.

My son has just turned 2 years old. Before he came into the world I did a lot of sitting and waiting however in the past two years there’s been a lot of behavior for me to respond to.  Some of it has caused a correct action in me and other behaviors have prompted my mind to take try and take control and get me to act based on needing to prove myself or because I am afraid or nervous about something.

So there’s been a lot of learning too.

I have become more aware of how I almost lead two separate existences – one in my head and the other in the now, in the action where things are actually happening. I said almost because they do exist together in this form – some days I consciously drift between the two but they are both always there.

However, being in action that is correct, even if that is inaction, is more satisfying in the long run. Knowing this makes it a little easier to let go of all the things I think about and, well basically to live in the real world.

After all, at the end of this road called Life, the actions I have taken in the world and where they take me is how I will have contributed to the world. 

How are you designed to live in the real world?

Transit Talk – Nov 21st-27th

Nov 23rd @3pm

We’re moving into some high energy this week with the Sun and Earth in the Cross of the Sleeping Phoenix and the potentially high energy definition of the Channel of Charisma – a Design Where Thoughts Must Be Deeds.

Plus we have Venus moving in Gate 10 later this week bringing more potential for Integration and Survival through the Channel of Exploration – a design of following one’s convictions and the Channel of Awakening – design of commitment to higher principles. *Watch out for the Moon in conjuction with Venus in Gate 10 on the 27th!*

The Moon is moving through a lot of gates in the Splenic center this week adding the conditioning influence of several channels along the way and the possiblity of an awareness of fears and insecurities and acting on them.

Mercury continues to slow in Gate 26 bringing the power of the egoist and possibility of having your memory manipulated so that what is deemed as important to your society continues. The energy for this kind of communication is supported by Saturn in Gate 32 with the flexibility to adapt to changes or reject them.

Mars moves from the energy of Sexuality and breaking down barriers in Gate 59 to Aloneness and the powerful want to be alone (or not) and Jupiter continues its retrograde movement this week making a shift this week from the energy of  Caring in Gate 27 to the energy of Gate 3 – ordering and difficulty the beginning.

As usual, the only way for you to move through all of this and maintain your center is by following your Strategy and listening to your Authority.

How Do I Drive This Thing? (or, Types and their Auras)

 

Below is a five minute video of the Aura Types presented by John Martin of Human Design Hawaii.

I like how he explains the Aura of each Type in the Human Design System. Aura is the mechanical basis for how each of the types are designed to exist within the energy field of this world.

You can begin to see how we are designed to ‘work’ together to create and move the energy of life but we each have a different role.

 

Human Design Hawaii has a playlist about Aura and Type where John goes into more detail about the aura of each type.

John considers the journey into the Human Design System, and back to your Self, to be a Warriors Path. John is a Projector type and has been experimenting with his Strategy and Authority for over seven years. His attitude to his experiment has been radical surrender.

Nearly two years after producing the original video series on Aura and Type, John filmed a new series called ‘Aura Types: A Deeper Look’.

In this second series you can see how much John’s ‘frequency’ (as he describes it) has been changed by experimenting with his strategy for being himself in the flow of life – waiting to be invited and using his ‘in the moment’ intuition to know what is correct for him.

So, experimenting with your how you are designed to experience and participate in the flow of energy in the world through your Aura mechanics can be quite the journey.

Have you started yours? What have you noticed?

Transit Talk (Nov 14th-20th)

Sun in the Sky by graur razven ionut

You can find my radio segment ‘Transit Talk’ a summary of the planetary transits for this week, at Human Design Radio (you may have to create a login – it’s free! then click the link to the latest show) and Human Design America (show from 11 15 – Nov 15th).

And a brief explanation….

Neutrinos are sub-atomic particles that have a tiny amount of mass. We are constantly bombarded with trillions of neutrinos every second from all directions.

The Human Design System proposes that these neutrinos have different properties and when they pass through and object these properties get modified and the objects they pass through also change, including our bodies.

Thus we are part of a moving, dynamic and symbiotic system that is evolving moment by moment.

The Human Design System mandala uses the hexagrams of the I-Ching to give themes to these properties. They are literally just passing through and it may be correct for you to benefit from them or it may not. The only way to know is to follow your body’s decision making strategy and authority and release your mind from making the decisions.

Transit talk discusses the themes and potential conditioning influences of the planets for this week. If you have the harmonic gate (the gate at the other end of the channel) a transit may have particular meaning for you. If the gate in the transit is in a defined center in your design it may add another theme to what you experience this week or if it is in an open center you may see it in your environment. All times are in GMT.

I’d love to hear your comments if you felt any resonance with this summary for this week!

Transit Chart - November 15th 2011

Type – just another box?

What was the first thing you heard about the Human Design System? For most people the answer is their Type – usually we get a chart generated online or by a friend and somewhere it will say ‘Generator’, ‘Projector’, ‘Manifestor’ or ‘Reflector’. So what are these names all about?

The Human Design System is about many things but at its most practical and useful it is about how we can have our unique life by making decisions as ourselves.

We face many decisions in our lives – little ones every day and the really big ones that come along every now and then. Each decision changes our trajectory through life and through all the possible experiences we could have in our life.

Life is an energy field that starts at the teeniest tiniest levels and moves up through cellular activity into all the forms we see – trees, birds, animals and humans. There is so much happening around us all the time – some that we are aware of and a lot that we aren’t – how can we know what and who to interact with, where to go, what to see and what to create?

Science defines energy as something that cannot be observed directly but is ‘often understood as the ability a physical system has to do work on other physical systems.’ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy).

So energy is something we can’t directly observe but we can certainly feel the effects of it.

In the Human Design System, Type is not just another way of defining your personality so you can chose from one of the categories of activity associated with it. Type is a way of understanding and experimenting with how we as human beings are best able to exist within the flow of energy in the physical world. Each type has different skills for how they influence the world around them.

Generators, approximately 70% of the population, consistently have the capacity to work, or to act on another physical system to build and create when they are responding to life.

Projectors, approximately 20% of the population have an inconsistent capacity for work and are designed to be invited to contribute to the flow of energy through their ability to see the larger flow.

Manifestors, approximately 9% of the population also have an inconsistent capacity for work and are designed to watch the flow, see what needs to be changed or corrected now or in the future and have their impact on the energy field through informing others about what they see.

Reflectors, approximately 1% of the population, are outside the energy flow in a lot of ways (or deeply within it – depends how you look at it!) and are designed to be aware of who is making their unique contribution to the flow of energy and who is caught up in the general flow, carried along by the influence of the programming of the transit field.

No matter what type you are you can stay in your flow by experimenting with your Strategy and Authority for making decisions (more on this later).

Type is one of the most talked about concepts in the Human Design System and can be described in many ways, but for me it is about how energy flows and is created and directed in the world.

It’s simple, but it shows how frustration, anger, bitterness and disappointment (the themes of the Generator, Manifestor, Projector and Reflector respectively when they using their energy correctly) get created when we think we have to push the flow of life in a certain direction. These are the human body’s reactions when we try and exert force on something that is flowing in another direction.

So Type is not just another box – it frees you to be able to move with the energy of all life.

How are you designed to make decisions with the flow of life around you? Do you feel in the comfortable in the flow or are you drained from always pushing against it? Do you know how to make the decisions that keep you flowing to where your energy skills are needed?

Coming Soon

I’m working right now on updating this blog and adding new content – it’s coming very soon!
