BE-ing Ourselves in the Face of Auric Conditioning
The Human Design Penta - Small Group Dynamics
Learning through Experimenting
and Experience of
Human Design System Mechanics
Individuals are brilliant.
Groups are mindless.
You are not an individual in a group dynamic.
You unconsciously become something other than just yourself in a group, controlled by swirling energies we cannot see.
It's a mechanical reality.
All one has to do is understand the Human Design System enough to know the truth of this.
The moment you are in a large group of people in aura, you become a mindless part of the group, a slave to that hierarchy, with no choice to be a sovereign individual. Understand your mechanics so you can be on the lookout for times when you need to be extra vigilant about aligning through your Strategy and Authority.
We all have no choice in the effects of what happens to us trans-aurically as an unconscious part of a trans-auric form organized by specific "OC-16" channels (organizing channels of groups of 9-16 people) in groups.
For the Wa, control is imperative, and being in one lends one to operate based on the rules of the Wa, rather than their own Authority.
And another point... we may think we are alone, but in our modern age of densely populated cities, hotels, apartments, condos, townhomes, and duplex life, proximity to auras puts us unconsciously in contact with others, even through walls.
Ra gave us the mechanics of the trans-auric creature called Penta, the vortex of energy that is created when 3-5 people come together. We study this through business and family dynamics.
With 10 of the 26 activations in my Human Design being in Penta activations, including 3 of my 4 Life's Work gates, and creating my Body's only defined Channel (1-8), I find strength in leading the right groups that invite me, to be a demonstrative pillar of unique direction that can take us on a transformative journey into the world of manifestation. And yet, in a group environment, those people will never know the real me, just as I will never see the real them. It's an impossibility in that environment. Truly, we only ever know the other in the way we ourselves meet them.
Transcendent Global Awareness
Now I see my mind (observer) as the witness of my form (observed), in the process of following my body (observation) to express my own divinity in a mystical process of unifying mind and body, a marriage of binary consciousness in the state of transcendent awareness of Being.
When I became a divemaster as a teenager, we were taught to have "global awareness." To be aware of things beyond the normal focus of attention, to be on the lookout for conditions and circumstances that might shift in a moment and lead to danger or disaster.
I led groups of up to 6 divers underwater to tour caves, sheer drop-offs, and magnificent pinnacles of underwater sea-life or on night-time, Manta Ray dives. I was keenly aware of my role as a guide to keeping my group safe and headed in the right direction. My role was to lead them on a fun adventure as well as get back to the boat in time for their decompression journey before running out of air!
Yet, I remember my favorite times working as a Divemaster being those times of being alone in the deep blue, freediving into the weightlessness of the sea. The lack of oxygen suited my Primary Health System as much as this high mountain environment does now. I could be content drifting 60 feet below in apparent nothingness or actively observing gentle giants like whale sharks, humpback whales, or schools of dolphins or hammerhead sharks. Sometimes inspecting the tiniest creatures floating along with me in the endless dark of night as the Manta Rays opened their mouths to scoop them up. Sometimes drifting in the same waters during the shimmering light, watching the rainbow glittering of translucent gelatinous animals out in the deep blue sea.
Everything is imbibed with consciousness, a state of awareness. All things have a design; yes, even inanimate objects. From the rocks to the trees and the seen and unseen, we are surrounded by a sea of consciousness, that we interact with to become aware of in our own special ways.
We are filterers of the neutrino ocean, uniquely aware when enlightened. A natural, normal state of Being accessible to anyone in their own unique way.
And yet, Awakening is not a group thing. It is purely individual. The 10-20 Channel of Awakening, a Commitment to Higher Principals is part of Integration, the backbone of what it means to be a self-empowered Human Being.
Aloneness is conducive to Individual Awakening.
The reality is the world is dominated by trans-auric forms. Most of the things we think are ugly in human beings aren’t in your personal chart, have never been in your personal chart. But they come alive in trans-auric forms. We are all born in Pentas — we live in them, we create them. We walk around in Wa’s. We’re in a Wa in this room. Trans-auric forms have a way in which they condition humanity.
For me, Rave Sociology is very important to understand the way in which we are conditioned. Everything about Human Design, everything I’ve been teaching all of these years is about conditioning. After all, this is the Maia. The Maia is this vast, dense conditioning field. The moment you understand how trans-auric forms operate, you can really begin to understand the world around you and why human beings are the way they are.
Most of the time, we’re so busy looking at a person and saying ‘you’re to blame.’ The moment you’re in a family situation, the moment you’re in a group of four people that are enjoying themselves at a table in a restaurant, you’ve got different rules. They’re totally different. They’re so different that it’s almost frightening, in a way.
Something to understand about us is that we assume that we’re at the top of the heap. The vanity of the mind that we control things, and all of this stuff. But the reality is we’re being controlled by things that we cannot see or have no conscious access to, that the average human being has no fundamental awareness about at all. Think about what it’s like to go home, to go home to your original family.
Think about how you feel when you go back into that environment. Think about all the things that come back that you don’t like, all of those things that are suddenly there in your personality that you thought you had left behind, that suddenly returns. That the way in which you’re being dealt with is no different than it ever was regardless whether you’re 12, 50 or 80. This is the program. This is what Penta does." Ra Uru Hu
There is no mind in a group. They are controlling, homogenizing forces: they are the death of Individuality.
Ra taught that...
Only some of us are open to the profound mutation that Human Design offers.
When you accept that your "body is the life", your path is your path and it is beyond collective judgment, for it is unique.
Remember, the nodes are the path in life that you walk along (design) or the framework of your perception (personality). Nodes are the stage upon which your life is set, a stage you carry around with you wherever you go.
Just as a fish is not alive when you remove it from the water, so it cannot fulfill its purpose....
So too you are not you if you try to take yourself out of the contextual framework of the path you are on.
Indeed, so many people rail against the path they are on, attempting to claw their way desperately to the driver's seat in a vain attempt to steer clear of what they fear.
And in these times of radical change and uncertainty (with Fear as the undercurrent of the global motivation), we are all being conditioned by...
It is important to remember our sovereignty.
In this dawning age, we are responding to be empowered in places where we are allowed to be ourselves.
The moment we are in aura with anyone else, we are not our individuality.
To be ONE we need to be ALONE.
Here on this online platform, being in a virtual environment, we can express our individuality.
Human Design Holds the Keys
You are not an individual in the auric frequency of another.
That is not a choice.
It is a mechanical truth.
Be that your lover, friend, child or family, your boss, co-worker, roommate(s), or church group.
During in-auric contact, you are a part of something more, an aspect of a temporary merging of energies, and it is important to remember if you find yourself losing your connection to yourself, to step away, pull back, and find that you-ness which is so true and unique to you.
Human Design is a manual for no-fault living.
No shame, blame, guilt, or regret necessary.
I invite us all to honor where someone is at,
no matter where we are in their process.
If it is correct for you to maintain auric contact,
watch, wait, and see.
If it is incorrect, and your process is to break the bond,
no need for justification or rationalization,
nor blame, shame, fault, or guilt.
In life, we simply align, or do not align.
And all of us shift through the seasons of time.
Love Yourself, Beloved.

HumanDesign.Live goes LIVE! Happy New Year 2021
Happy 2021! 2020 is finally behind us. The Sun is in Gate 38, bringing a bit of deafness and stubbornness. Got the Gate 28? There may be a bit of struggle to this week. Focus on being empowered and aligning to your individual knowing.
Gate 41 is the start codon in our genetics. Every year when the Sun enters gate 41, we begin a new cycle around the wheel. Below are the Gate themes of our Human Design Rave New Year coming up on 1/21 (thanks to Mark Germain for creating this handy reference image every year). Download to blow up larger for study this year, as it shows the year's themes, we'll encounter.
Here in America, we're going through a LOT of turmoil. Our social fabric is being torn by censorship and power struggles, and our society is going through a significant shift. We are in an economic war, and things are getting heated with increased forced lockdowns.
With manipulating our private data on social media and the increased need for privacy, security, and empowerment, we decided it's time to plan an exit from Facebook. More and more people have asked for another way to interact with our class content lately! This year, frankly, burnt me out too on FB with its increasing stress, pressure, and censorship. After having spent 9 years building a business on Facebook, I'm ready for a change too.
Therefore, we're excited to announce it's TIME for our own social networking space! Would you like to be a part of building our NEW HD community?
Imagine a virtual space that is private, safe, and solely dedicated to our Human Design deconditioning and growth experience. This space is unique to what YOU want! No more censorship in your feed - you control what you want to see. Here you can customize your own experience based on your interests: your passions, your needs, your desires for connection, community, and empowerment. Get in on the ground floor of shaping this space based on your design.
HumanDesign.livePlease set up your free account and profile at HumanDesign.live! We hope to co-create the space built around YOUR requests, so be sure to let us know what you would like to see in this space. We someday aspire to make it an app so you can stay connected to learn, share, and grow with the HD friends you've made in our fractal family!
Personally, I feel immensely grateful to you. I have to thank you, my HD community, for our thriving HD business. My lifestyle allows me to respect my design, which needs to spend my time and energy wisely, especially with immune system challenges. To have a supportive team that can help me take on something as big as creating our own space is a blessing. It will take time, and there will be mistakes. Still, together I know we can have a better experience than what's been happening with the increasing chaos out there now.
Thank You for being a part of our wolf-pack and helping us thrive! I hope you can join our virtual retreat, away from the influence of the homogenized society.
A question about the Human Design Nodes and Perspective/Transference
This is a question from a student in one of my Human Design professional certification classes.
"Quick question about the Nodes. I always assumed that once we're aligned, we see through that particular lens all the time. I just wanted to confirm if that was true or if there is a 'now you see it, now you don't' interplay happening? There's always the ebb and flow, coming to know things through contrast. As I'm writing this, I'm suddenly thinking about transference always being part of the cognitive process, which might account for the 'now you don't' counterbalance. My 27.4 South Node is in an undefined center pointed at an open gate 50. So my mind is conditioned to think about and learn about it in that way, which it does all the time. It primes the way I frame every encounter and moment by moment experience. Can I trust this to be natural, or might it be obsessive?"
The magnetic monopole is the agent that holds our personality and design together in an illusion that we are separate from each other. The Design North Node and Personality South Nodes are called "Link Nodes" and connect our design and personality. The Nodes are the windows of your vehicle. When you look out of the vehicle, most of us will see things primarily in two ways: either our perspective or our distraction. That vacillation between the two will always be there.
This information is not about trying to avoid being distracted by your color transference. It's about watching the counterpoint of your view and knowing when the windows are foggy—your distraction—to do your best to observe what happens when you can follow your body vs. when the conditioned mind moves you. When you operate and "see" correctly, out pops your motivation when in alignment for action. This information not about controlling how you see or trying to see things differently. Ra simplified everything down to follow your strategy and authority and to watch the movie because you will see it if you can be aware of it.
Ra teaches that if you are NOT operating correctly (strategy and authority) and the body isn't aligned to the correct determination and environment, your magnetic monopole will not have the right capture frequency. Therefore, your perspective will be distracted. Now, as when riding in a car, you will see the terrain shift. Your attunement to seeing the objects as you ride along the highway of life will ALWAYS be sensitized to seeing your nodal environment gates. Always. Because this is the environment where you can fulfill your purpose.
Nodes are the stage upon which your life is set, your storyline which you carry around with you no matter where you go. This cross of life is the framework for where you be (design) and how you see (personality). When someone has your nodal gates in their design, you are attracted to either seeing them (conscious) or being around them (unconscious). If they have the Sun/Earth in exact lines, you may feel an unexplainable draw to them for you to fulfill your karmic connection with them.
We are on choiceless geometries. Surrender to watching your movie move and just witness, see, be aware. Let the body move you. What I call "Nodal draw" can be applied to all life cycles wherein someone comes into your life, and they are simply part of your life cycle seeing—beyond this class's scope to explain in detail here.
We address this in a Life Cycles Analysis and Cycles Certification. An undefined nodal gate is a strong hook, a conditioning receptor of the undefined center.
What causes Center conditioning?
Decision-making from adaptive mental strategies. Anyone or a transit lights up that center through definition. Example of having gate 27 as a node: Your mind becomes obsessed with gate 50's themes of "responsibility, either avoiding it or taking on too much because of fear." YOU CAN NEVER TRUST YOUR MIND'S MENTAL PROCESS ABOUT YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES. This is because it is never reliable, it is always conditioned by life and who you are with, especially as a Projector.
If all nodes in someone's design are in an undefined state, the ride is much bumpier in that there is not the same consistency in the being's life, and the spirit (auric signature) can be broken. So those of us (I am one of them) who have all undefined nodes are more likely to have real inconsistencies in the path we are walking and the people we walk them with over our lifetimes.
My Human Design Analyst Teacher Training PTL 1 Experience
A Human Design Professional Teacher’s Journey
Learning to Train Human Design Professional Analysts
I entered into Human Design during my Saturn Life Cycle.
In 2020, I entered into my 8th year of deconditioning journey and my first year as a Professional IHDS Analyst Teacher candidate this year. I’d like to share my Human Design Analyst Teacher training experience with you here.
I began studying Human Design from Jovian Archive’s in 2012 when I was invited into it. My success as a guide and teacher over the past 6 years lead me to commence my Professional Analyst Teacher candidacy at the International Human Design School at the beginning of 2020. It felt amazing to get new Ra material of him teaching Analysts himself! I felt as excited as I was back in 2015 when I began my Human Design analyst training with Darshana Matthews at Human Design America and as thrilled as when I took Alokanand Diaz Del Rio’s Incarnation Crosses in 2016.
I’m a wife, mother, and entrepreneur currently going through the fight of my life on the health front. Having bought my 9th and 10th real estate properties over my life this year, right before our economy was shut down by COVID-19 (becoming a property owner again for the first time since the real estate market crash in 2008) it was vital for me to engage with the Human Design education material on my terms. I’m a lifelong learner and feel it is vital to the health of my brain and my professional endeavors as a Human Design Teacher to follow the path of professionalism. I go where my students invite me to go when the availability of finances and my clarity makes it possible.
Listening to Ra initiate new Analysts to do the empowering work as an Analyst Teacher, one of the most important things I learned was to see how each person would be a different kind of Analyst and cultivate them towards their strengths. No surprise, we are all so very different! But it was an eye-opener to me to hear him say that it was my responsibility to discourage people from Analyst training if it was apparent that they were not cut out for the work of being a Human Design Analyst.
As a consciously abstract collective Projector with a totally open Ajna, I often feel like tuning into another frequency for a new experience or exposure to a different way of looking at things. Being 3/5 and Emotional, having learned so much from other Manifestors in our industry, like Ra, Alok, and Genoa Bliven (mostly from recordings) I knew that Manifestors I resonated with had the power to impact me deeply.
Lynette Hagins, IHDS teacher
Considering my IHDS Analyst Teacher training options, I personally wanted to see how Lynette, a 6/2 Manifestor on the Cross of Obscuration with the Sun in 62.6, would impact me with her profound awareness. Personally, my Saturn Cycle that I am ending now is also the same 6/2 Cross of Obscuration 1, so I’ve always been interested in what she had to say and enjoyed hearing from her in the community. I felt reassured by Lynette's complete acceptance of my uniqueness and where I was at emotionally and physically during the bumpy movie of mine.
I am in the beginning of my Uranus Opposition, interestingly the 61.6 common to my Saturn Cycle shows up again, this time in Pluto fixed in the Exaltation.
I chose Lynette Hagins at the International Human Design School for my first year of auditing (repeating) the three semesters of the Human Design Analyst Professional Training Level 1, which is three semesters long over one full year.
Lynette makes learning professional, engaging, exciting, and fun! Her experience as an experimenter and teacher of the Human Design System is extensive. Lynette has a profound grasp of this obscure yet life-transforming knowledge. In her no-nonsense way, she goes above and beyond to ensure you are empowered to master this System. I really enjoyed her entertaining teaching style, her compassionate understanding of having been through her own human design journey, and her willingness to be straightforward about her process through sharing signposts of the evolution as a Human Design Professional.
Lynette and the IHDS give you everything and precisely what you need to know for mastering how a bodygraph can be analyzed. I felt delighted to discover the flexibility of opportunities they gave for engaging with the material in a way that addresses all learning styles and strengths. She encourages you to practice while leaving it up to your own authority regarding how you participate in the classes in a way that works for you.
I often found myself nodding in recognition, smiling, or laughing when listening to her teaching. Usually, I would listen again to classes while keeping my hands busy (I have a receptive brain and active environment) to make sure I got clarity on the concepts. Lynette very logically described things and was delighted to increase my understanding of this vast System. I felt such a level of deep appreciation for her keynoting style. As a Human Design Projector and total geek, it is so much fun to continue the learning through immersion in different teacher's learning styles - and being able to hear not only from Lynette but also from other Human Design analyst teachers this IHDS course provided access to, like Ra Uru Hu, Becky Markley, and Cathy Kinnaird.
I can attest that Lynette has the consistent willpower to initiate her tribe and empower other individuals on the road to awakening with her mutative energetic influence. She empowers with her energy to seduce you to fall in love with Human Design even more profoundly than you already are. Hard to imagine for me, but at the end of a year, it is true! Her love of sharing the profound keys to mastering this obscure yet logical System and her understanding delivered to you with an inspiring educational style is grounded in her wealth of experience.
Suppose it's correct for you to learn from a 6/2 Manifestor like Lynette. Personally, with my nodes being in the 6th lines consciously and 2nd lines unconsciously, I could really see where she was coming from. Her examples and life stories she shared to illustrate different points of awareness resonated deeply. When you decide to embark upon this transformative journey with her in classes, I know you'll be pleased with your decision to pursue the path of Human Design Professional training because of its power to transform you profoundly. I highly recommend Lynette as someone who is making a tremendous impact with her lived example of professionalism in our industry and as this System's teacher. She stands as an authentic, genuine role model who lights the way for her students' professional lives.
Our ability to shine a light into the gathering darkness of this planetary shift we are going through is needed now more than ever as Human Design Professionals. This world needs us to help align our personal truth's strength to light a better way forward into an uncertain future. I know you can trust Lynette to empower and support your efforts to breakthrough disempowering old patterns and bring about a new order within yourself and the lives of those you touch as a Human Design Analyst.
You can learn more about Lynette if correct for you at her site Authority in You.
What is a Chiron (Kiron) Return Human Design System Analysis?
SMITE Chiron by Scebiqu
Kiron is a planetary asteroid that takes about 50 years to come around to where it was in your birth chart when you were born.
In the Human Design System, we recommend anyone who has completed a deconditioning cycle to get an analysis, especially all 6th line beings. A Chiron Analysis shows the flowering of a 9-Centered Human's potential and is suggested once you have completed a full 7-year cycle in Human Design. It is highly recommended for all 6th line profiles (4/6, 6/2, 6/3) as a priority to know about.
"Chiron, in Greek mythology, one of the Centaurs, the son of the Titan Cronus and Philyra, an Oceanid or sea nymph. Chiron lived at the foot of Mount Pelion in Thessaly. Unlike other Centaurs, who were violent and savage, he was famous for his wisdom and knowledge of medicine. Many Greek heroes, including Heracles, Achilles, Jason, and Asclepius, were instructed by him.
Chiron frequently appears in the legends of his grandson, Peleus, and his great-grandson, Achilles. Accidentally pierced by a poisoned arrow shot by Heracles, he renounced his immortality in favor of Prometheus and was placed among the stars as the constellation Centaurus." ~Source
SMITE Chiron by Scebiqu
Personally, my Kironian return Cycle brings me the costume of a 1/3 Cross of Explanation at the age of 49. We generally start to feel the effects of a larger Life Cycle about 3.5 years before and after the Cycle date. However, the Chiron is an element of positive conditioning that reverberates throughout the life; I think of it like echoes from the future. This cycle affects you throughout your lifetime and is particularly present when you’ve made it to the age where Chiron has made a full cycle around the sun. Like all Cycles, it doesn’t change your Human Design Type, Strategy or authority, but it does show us, like a crystal ball, the themes at play, some people you’ll encounter and the movie that speaks to the flowering of your true self.
Our HomoSapien in Transitus Transformation from 7 to 9 Centers
Human Design System: From 7 Chakras to 9 Centers
Client Questions:
“I'm curious about the relationship between the chakras and the wisdom centers. I read what Ra said about moving from a 7-centered to 9-centered being. Are the wisdom centers chakras? With chakras they are said to become underactive / balanced / overactive etc. In your opinion how does this relate to the centers and being open or defined? Do we balance our centers the same way as chakras?”
"Are the wisdom centers chakras?"
It would be technically inaccurate to equate the chakras' 7-centered model derived from the Homo Sapiens to our modern 9 centered Homo Sapien in Transitus because we didn't just add on two centers or split two into four back in 1781. We are taught that every center got an upgrade.
So although we have 9 functional centers within the body, we do not call them chakras to avoid confusion with the ancient strategic homo sapien, which we no longer are but remain conditioned by the mindset of controlling through mental processes of decision-making.
In HD, we call an undefined center an area of potential wisdom. You're working on specific learning described by the planets, which are there in dormant gate activations.
You have total wisdom potential in any completely open center. The totally open center indicates you've mastered that center thematic in a past life. In this life, you're working on your Ph.D. there, so to speak, because there are no longer specific themes but complete wisdom about all the ways that center can function. These are your most profound areas of susceptibility to conditioning and your most excellent places of potential learning.
"With chakras, they are said to become underactive/balanced/overactive, etc. In your opinion, how does this relate to the centers and being open or defined?"
Personally, I haven't seen the terms "underactive / balanced / overactive" used globally across the board in relationship to centers. Doing so might also be misleading because we all have our own sweet spots based on design, as activity and balance are unique to our functioning, depending on much more than definition.
For example, we have the Variable knowledge based on tonal cognition that leads us to live very different lives from each other even if we have similar areas of definition. And every channel expresses uniquely based on the planetary activations that create the “Channels” our consistent life-force or communication flow between the centers.
In HD, we use the terms Healthy/Unhealthy, which can show up in the Defined or Undefined states of any Center. The unhealthy functioning of the open centers tends to show up like the unhealthy of the defined center - only imagine it incredibly distorted, like an electric guitar plugged into an amplifier and turned up way too high.
I'll explain what I know from our HD perspective that I hope will address what I sense you may be looking for.
Defined energy centers are more likely to be overactive in the not-self, leading to dysfunction and dis-ease. This is really a problem with awareness (fear) centers because of biological stress on our body. and psyche. And it is especially a problem with our energy centers, because that tends towards the energy being misused because of mental decision-making.
Let's consider the Throat Center, which is not a motor, but often people use this center to decide when it is never a place of Authority (i.e., "I said I'll do that and I have to prove that I'm a person of my word, consistent and trustworthy so I'm gonna follow through with what I said I would do so I don't look foolish.")
Any throat center gate misuse or overuse can lead to biological dysfunction of the thyroid. Defined throats without connection to energy tend to talk too much, act too much, and give energy away to every impulse. The pressure to communicate and work is immense! Imagine that amplified without awareness by someone whose throat is being hooked up by a transit or a person. So they take action/speak because of the transit, not from a place of Authority, and now we have a similar problem - overuse because of conditioning.
However, take a typical example of a Manifesting Generator since there are many on our planet. In the not-self dysfunctional state (initiating rather than waiting for a response), an overactive MG can tend to have hyperthyroidism issues. See Angelina Jolie’s chart for example of a strongly defined throat. Angelina has an ego and emotional Manifesting Generator design with an Adrenalized Splenic Center Split.
Chronic overstimulation of the thyroid gland can degrade the thyroid's ability to function and turn into hypothyroidism over time. This starts out as overactive, which becomes underactive due to incorrect energy functioning.
The pure Manifesting Generator channel, 34-20 Charisma (the only sacral channel connection found as oppositions in the wheel creating direct generative energy flow to the throat), has more occurrences of removing the Thyroid gland due to overactivity.
If we contrast this with the natural state of a totally open throat center, whose natural functioning is silence, it tends to be quiet in a healthy state. This is its expression of what is balanced for it - quiet, until asked or invited to speak.
However, to an outsider, the totally open throat would be judged as underactive and would always be put under pressure to explain itself. See Lady Gaga’s chart for an example of a totally open throat center, which is that of a single definition pure sacral generator.
Lady Gaga’s Human Design Chart. She battles with the pain of Chronic Fibromyalgia
When the Throat is the only open center, then the entire being's not-self focus is on attracting attention, leading to thyroid issues when imbalanced. Make sense?
That is just one example; here is another common one. We can also tend to overuse certain kinds of energy to "get something done," concerning the misuse of substituting inappropriate energy when it is not designed to be used in that way.
Take an Adrenalized Energy Projector (Root defined to Solar Plex or Spleen) who is attempting to sustain long hours of hard work using the adrenal system is a classic lifelong challenge of the unawakened to their design. As the adrenals are designed to be short bursts and not be "on" like the sacral energy resource can be, adrenal fatigue and chronic fatigue are common problems amongst energy projectors. *raises hand* See Jada Pinkett Smith’s chart for a visual example of an Adrenalized Emotional Energy Projector with a Splenic Throat split.
Throat not connected to motor example - Jada Pinkett Smith (issues with fatigue - her "red table talks" are very open and a beautiful example of a 6th line projector coming into bloom, by the way)
"Do we balance our centers the same way as chakras?"
In HD, we attune to correct decision-making to help keep us balanced. So anything your Authority agrees to can help you maintain equilibrium. Perhaps a salt-water bath to clean your aura? Do you prefer singing, toning, or chanting to raise your vibration? Do you respond well to walking in nature, gardening, or swimming in the ocean? Maybe you feel invigorated by pranayama breathing exercises, drawing, dancing, games, imagining, making love, and making music? Whatever floats your individual boat!
There are specific recommendations I invite people to experiment with to discharge stress and pressure based on channel configurations. I have studied Vedic sciences and it would be interesting to see the correlations but I have not systematized anything. I simply leave it to each individuals' authority to explore organically rather than strategically.
“What I want you to grasp is something very interesting. Where you have definition, you don’t have to learn. So, think about that incarnatively. In other words, this is stuff you’ve learnt, you’ve worked through, and you don’t have to learn about again. Now, remember I'm talking about the true self, but I want you to see something interesting in that; we’re all in an incarnative, ongoing process. And that each incarnation we come in with things that need to be learnt in order for us to go through our progressive process.
So when you're looking at definition, what you're looking at is ‘I graduated, I got my degree. I've learnt that’. In the sense that that is not a theme for learning in this life now. But the moment that you're looking at a center, and you see that there is more than one or two dormant gates in that center, you know there's a lot of work to be done, that has never been done properly in the past. In other words, here is somebody who has built up, incarnation after incarnation, a problem area in which this is somebody who really has to be nurtured, and really has to learn about what manifestation is. What the Throat is. What the voice is. What communication really is. All of those various aspects.
So, it’s something very interesting to look at. You're looking at your own Design. You can see very clearly “Ah ha!. My incarnation, I'm here. This is something that I have to learn this time”. Now, think about the not-self. The not-self can come back over and over again with the same lessons to be learnt. And they keep on adding up. And if you didn’t get it the last time, then you’ve got an extra dormant gate this time!
So, it’s one of those things to just think about. Because it’s an interesting thing to look at. But please don’t abuse people because you know that – “Oh, look at you there. 35 lifetimes and you're still working on that stuff!”. But it’s really important to understand that these are themes that are unresolved and they need to be worked through. I know that for myself in my 49 gate. I've been a great killer. And I've gone through all of the sacrifice / sacrificer, all of that stuff, but there's still a lesson that’s incomplete for me. That I am finally getting to meet in this life, now.
So, it’s one of those processes that you can really look at, those of you that enjoy that kind of stuff, and be able to say “Aha! This is something that I've always needed to work on. This has been there a long time”. And you can see that by the density that is there.
You can also see that when you're down to the point where there's only one gate, you can see that this is an opportunity to close out a process. Very important. The single gates that are there. Many people have single gates in open centers. The single gate that’s there, that’s the indication. Here's your closing theme. You can finally finish this thing off. And if you have no activations, no activations the is the final stage of perfection.
Long ago somebody said to me “If you could have any Design, what would you have?”. And I said “No activation whatsoever. Just a blank chart. No gates, nothing. Just pure white everywhere”. Because that is being one with everything. And so when you have centers that are fully open you can see that these are areas where you’ve gone beyond the corrective process, and the learning process, and you're starting a new process. In other words, a wisdom process. A transcendent process. In other words you're finally getting to your masters degree, your PhD. You're really at another level entirely.
So you can see that definition, the process is over, but after all with your definition you're working with it all the time and you’ve got to work with it correctly. It just means that you don’t have to go through a learning process there. You simply have to use it correctly. And when you have centers where there is activation but there is no definition, then these are areas where you're carrying from your line of incarnation stuff that is still not yet worked out, still not yet finished in your learning process. And when you get to the entirely open centers, no activation, that’s where you're finally free to seek the one, or to seek the whole.”

The Relationship between the Human Design Channels of Charisma and Structuring
In this video, I describe the Relationship between the Human Design Channels of Charisma, 43-20 and Structuring, 43-23 and touch briefly on the genetic similarity of gates next to each other.
What's Your Success Story, future Human Design Professional?
These are my suggested questions to ponder if you are considering becoming a successful Human Design Professional.
1) What's Your Success Story?
Do you remember your transformation when Human Design found you?
2) Do you remember the first time you saw your mind’s lies and could let them go, instead of act on them?

The Channel of Judgement Gate 58 and Gate 18
Affectionately called the Channel of Correct Bitching. Correct bitching is allowed!
The Channel of Judgement, A Design of Insatiability
Think about the gods of Olympus, on Mount Olympus. Up there, bickering amongst themselves, judging the humans down here. This is the realm of correct bitching. This is the channel of correct bitching. The bitching has to be correct. So the channel of judgment which is part of the understanding, right? The logic which has an overarching keynote because all collective circuitry has this keynote of Sharing, is about being insatiable to correct and perfect things, to "work on what has been spoilt." Right? So the 18 is about working on what has been spoiled correction, and the 58 is the joyous it has the drive the pressure the vitality to correct and perfect it is a love gate it is "I love you, together let's make a more beautiful realm. Let's make this world more perfect. Let's make it more wonderful. Let's make it more joyous, let's make it more ALIVE. That's my unconscious - I think it's Venus, so I know this gate. But what happens in incorrect bitching? When there's incorrect bitching, instead of being collective and about sharing things that are good for all of humanity, we get nitpicky, and we get accused of being nitpicky and - "Why are you so bitchy? Why are you so judgmental? Why are you always, fault-finding?" That was my second husband's complaint about me that I was always trying to correct him and make him different yeah, change things about him, so in the not-self the 58 says I love you, let me fix that in you. Let me correct that for you. Without being recognized and invited, that's incorrect bitching okay, so this is that channel of judgment. And now, let's look briefly get my pen here out at the gate activations the 18 is in the quarter of duality, which is about relationships. So the 18 is like the first people that we start to, you know, be critical of our mother and father. At some point, we see that they maybe are human that they might lie, cheat or steal, do drugs, or that they might misspeak or get things wrong; you know it doesn't have to be a big whole huge thing, but we tend to have this fear about our parents that's the 18. standing up and defending basic and fundamental human rights for ultimately better relationships the 58 up here is deeply transformative it goes through the quarter of mutation in an effort to drive things to be more perfect on the material plane stream of taste so you what you're looking at are people who are designed to try and correct what is wrong with the world that's correct bitching so my husband and i have this together we tend to bitch and moan - well I usually do the bitching, but he definitely has his awareness too about uh what can be fixed when it comes to the world out there so when we're watching a movie i'm always picking apart the editing and the storyline as an example we have Russell Brand so you can see that he is a cross of consciousness and he has that channel unconscious since it's a tunnel with a partial overpass gate 58 the joyous sending this love of life up to the spleen for cleansing this is the fuel in the stream of taste it's the gate of vitality the pressure for the evolution of life in the name of the love of life the root of the art of mastery it feeds that 1648 channel of talent with its logical quality of creativity up here so 58 and 52 are the only adrenaline gates that are related to the logical process they are oppositions in the wheel we know that because it's part of the cross of service and crosses are always opposite each other the arms of the cross the sun earth and the 58 is the energy to correct and to challenge so that drive to stand up against the authority now the 18 is about the capacity to challenge authority the potential awareness the recognition of what has been spoiled what needs to be corrected so recognizing when correction is necessary is the job description of this channel that's the whole process of 58-18s to bring judgment that's your nature your judgment will only come when there's something to be dissatisfied with so in the video you might have heard me talking about how Darshana my one of my mentors has this channel and she said if if things weren't broken if things didn't need to be fixed she wouldn't have a job so this is impersonal the logic collective logic is about making sure the pattern works and if it doesn't challenge it challenge those mothers fathers teachers the government even the whole planet it's collective it's not about personal correction it's about collective corrections we have another example I found Osho has this channel actually there's quite a lot of famous people who have this channel I had a hard time selecting only a couple I wanted to put in more but here are people whoever has this who can provide and share okay providing the fuel because that's the definition sharing that fuel with others and this fuels the art of mastery 48-16's the next channel that we're going to hear from are about talent so the 18-58 pressurizes the stream of of taste which brings us our talent to surpass mastery and become an art form the 48-16 is an expression of creativity in the logic circuitry it's the channel that brings the strength of expression of creativity in logic so improvement of the patterns the job description of 58-18s is that that's their job to insatiably drive themselves the world to correct challenge perfect the collective patterns it all depends on the design so you can see this is a energy projector not connected up to the throat so his recognitions had to be pulled out of him by others he's at 2/4. Once he found his mission he educated his tribe as a cross of rulership here's John Voit's design you can see he's a cross of service. Do you see how the 58 and the 18 are both of the sons in his design that means that this person's cross and it's there's not a lot of crosses that do this that makes definition in a chart a cross of service will always have that channel so they're always designed to be dissatisfied with authorities or feel a need to challenge something or someone they have an innate need to express their logic it's pressured so all of you with this channel you're pressured to recognize what needs to be corrected what can be perfected potentially it's the potential awareness of what's wrong what's broken with the world with the global humanity the collective so when your logical evaluation or judgment is uninvited or if it's made very personal the result is people think you're critical so maybe hypercritical if you've got only one side or the other and you're amplifying - hi that's me - right? So if nobody wants to hear it you open your mouth and it comes out as criticism, bitching that is incorrect and leads to bitterness so for you with this design joy is being invited to share your judgment what can be improved what can be corrected what can be challenged to make the world a more wonderful place.
The Most Common Mistake You Can Make in Human Design
Many people nowadays are looking for truth, find human design, maybe take a weekend course and start reading charts. While we certainly appreciate how simple tools like Type, Strategy, and Authority can be powerful and easy to talk about, applying the information is a different story across the billions alive today. Check out this video for the most common mistake newcomers to Human Design make.
Which Human Design Gates cause Thyroid Issues?
The Biology of the Throat Center, our communication and action function, is the Thyroid which controls out metabolism functions. Read this article on the Throat Center first if you are new to Human Design.
I am designed to share with you my findings to help change your Fate as this is my life's work (3/5 Cross of Contagion 1). I find it highly interesting that Ra claims any throat gate used improperly can cause Thyroid damage; 20 million Americans have Thyroid issues. So, a quote from Ra:
"When throat gates do not operate according to the person's definition and type and authority, they're always going to result in problems in the thyroid system and the thyroid system, it affects all our metamorphic processes in the body.
So, it's very important to see this knowledge of where your voice is, where it is you, where it is not, is the first lesson in human design about the throat.
Like me, if I keep on saying, I believe, every time I try to use that aspect of my throat, that does not belong to me. I do damage to my physical throat.
I do damage to my thyroid system and I do damage to the way in which metamorphosis takes place in me because I'm trying to do something that has nothing to do with me and I'm trying to use something that is not designed to work for me.
The 33 is under pressure to express itself but to express itself under the right conditions, and that goes back to you living your design and entering into things properly, How often I repeat this." Ra Uru Hu
So, which gates can cause Thyroid issues? According to Ra, any Throat gates used incorrectly. However, the energy connected to the Throat is more likely to cause dysfunction when used incorrectly.
I have the 33 in Saturn, my Judge, and Discipline. It is where I get punished when not obeying my Jupitarian law 23.5 of "Assimilation: the practical acceptance of the values of another path." Both are throat gates... I would like to share my values, learning, and discovery with you if you'd like to hear what I know about this experiential Human Design path? First, a video on loving the shit out of your not-self:
My Uranus Opposition brings in the 45.5 Mercury, giving me an ego learning program about the Channel of Money, a design of Materialism. A 21.3 does not do well with a boss, under the control of someone else with decisions made over their head. Do you know that feeling of helplessness (“there is nothing I can do about this”, “my hands are tied”) or of not being in control of your work situation? I do.
Here is a private video where I share my experiences as a Gate 21 in the 3rd line thanks to my conscious Venus (values and relating) right before I was diagnosed with Hashimotos.
Thankfully, I was grateful to discover these symptoms I’m experiencing are considered to be the healing phase, according to German New Medicine.
In German New Medicine, Hashimotos is considered a "hanging healing" and in a right-handed female like me, due to repeated trauma of a powerlessness conflict. So I asked on my FB wall to see if anyone else with the 21 or 45 could relate. Can you post there if you do, too?
I also have the 8th gate twice in an unconsciously defined channel, thanks to Earth and Jupiter. As you can see from my Uranus Opposition (our typical “mid-life crisis” or as I like to call it, Maturing Cycle of your 40’s) I also have SIX additional throat gate activations I am learning from in this current life experience.
This body can feel a lot of energy is moving while time seems to alternately stand still when I’m in so much physical pain… and speed up randomly as the year swiftly passes…. Surrendering to witnessing the madness of the conditioned mind both within and without, I sink further into self-care and care of my students as best I can in this chaotic world.
Replies to this post:
Thank you for writing and speaking about the connection between HD and the thyroid. I have Hashimoto's, and my P. Sun is at gate 21.3. I'm a female 3/6 Emotional Generator, Rax of Tension 1. I have a completely open Throat and Head, plus undefined Ajna, G, Ego, and Spleen. My thyroid is too destroyed to heal because I've had Hashimoto's since 2002.
I always thought there was something wrong with me for resenting the control of supervisors at work, but I recently read Ra's description of the 21.3 and finally understood. The powerless feeling and anger started in childhood from not being allowed to explore and make my own decisions, just as Ra described.
“I've got 62, 56, 35, 31, 8, 33, and 45, with 45 doubled by Uranus. 21 doesn't connect it. But it's interesting to me that my maternal grandfather died of throat cancer and my Mom's thyroid got radiated when she was in her late 30's early 40's (due, I suspect, to her amazing single-definition/manifesting generator/undefined emotional center power to blow us all out of the water with her emotions). I feel she fried her thyroid after going through many years of bi-polarity.
I come to an appreciation of the throat as the fifth chakra, will or willingess, via metaphysical and spiritual studies, and can easily recognize its effects on my metabolism through my emotions. I'm a 5/2 Projector, Left Angle Cross of the Clarion, and the only channel that's going on in my throat center is the 8/1 - with conscious Saturn 31.6 and unconscious Mercury 7.3.”
My mom has a thyroid issue and her gate 45 is activated.
“I have 21-45 & I had thyroid surgery 23 years ago. My diagnosis was hyperactive thyroid glands.”
My sister and I both have Hashimotos diagnosis for many years. I looked at both our charts just now.
My Throat is undefined. Her Throat is defined.
My Ego is defined. Her Ego is undefined.
I'm a Projector. She's a Generator.
We both have defined Gate 21. Undefined Gate 45.
In those 2 centers, the only other common defined Gate is 40.
Both right handed (since you mentioned it)
Early childhood powerlessness conditioning "children should be seen and not heard" mentality from father - that programming is still pretty reactive when I am stressed. I can only guess that she also has issues with this due to conversations I had with her many years ago.
