We have some big emotional definition coming up again this coming fortnight. However from the 10th-12th we are not experiencing any emotional definition in the transits. Coming out of some big individual energy in the last 2 weeks, we spend 2 days with a Reflector transit.
Today, the 10th of April, the sun is in Gate 51. The gate of Shock.
This is the energy of initiation and growth from the heart center. Gate 51 is asking you, where can you push the edges of your life? Where can I transform shock into strength?
Gate 51 can be deeply competitive but is only seeking the best and highest expression of the self. This is truly about transcending who we are to become who we are born to be. It is about change and growth. Expansion is the core of this energy. You can take time to reflect on, where do I seek expansion right now? How are my actions an expression of my inner courage? Which experiences are supporting my evolution in life?
On the 11th, the sun moves into gate 42, the gate of Growth.
Gate 42 is in the sacral center and is here to respond to life. The gate of growth, from a place of response, creates the energy to seek expansion. This expansive energy needs to go somewhere and urges us towards new experiences. Gate 42 is where the energy for experiences begins in the abstract collective circuit.
The end game here is growth. In order to grow we need to start AND finish a cycle. The commitment to get into an experience and finish it lives in gate 42. We are getting this committed energy from the sacral center. You may want to reflect upon, am I responding to exciting opportunities right now? Has this experience given me all there is to learn? Am I responding to external pressure to begin or my authority? Where am I trying to control the outcome?
On the 12th, we have a day with the 38-28, Channel of Struggle.
(Side note: I’m so passionate about not basing your knowledge about the channels just on their names, and this channel is a great example of why!)
This channel connects the root to the spleen, and once again is found in the individual circuit. This is not the energy of struggling through life. This is not about being a victim to circumstances. This is a channel of power and awareness!
This channel, at its core, is about evolution. It is about having the impulse to fight and the awareness of knowing what fight we can win. This channel asks us the questions, what is really worth fighting for? Ensuring that we are not fighting losing battles. The impulsive energy of gate 38, gate of the fighter, must go somewhere. It is essential that people with this gate (and channel) in their design have something to fight for in their lives, or the energy may turn inward.
On this day, you can reflect on, which battles truly matter to me? In which challenges do I find my vitality and strength? Or are there any fights that are futile/an unhealthy use of my energy?
Especially if you have an undefined spleen in your design, you may want to ask, where am I holding on to something too tightly right now?
After just a brief day with the channel 28-38, we move from the logical (left) side of the bodygraph to the abstract and emotional (right) side.
We are back in emotional definition for the next 12 days.
If you are undefined in the solar plexus, not an emotional authority, take lots of time and space for yourself over this transit. Invite emptying out practices, such as intentional breathing, grounding, shaking, working out and connecting with nature/pets, into your everyday life.
Embrace the peaks and troughs of emotion that this energy can bring but remember, you are here to be a pretty chill human being. Your center is emotionally neutral. The best thing you can do to support your emotionally defined loved ones is create the routines that allow you to remain centered and chill. (Coming from an emotional authority Manifestor surrounded by non-emotionals).
April 13th brings 2 individual channels to the transits.
The emotional 39-55 from the root to the solar plexus, and the mental 61-24 from the head to the ajna. The root and head are both pressure centers so you may feel under pressure both physically and mentally.
Root pressure can feel like the need to get up and move, to be constantly moving, a feeling of restlessness. Head pressure can feel like the pressure to think, to find questions, to uncover theories. Both can be overwhelming and uncomfortable if left out of awareness. A simple reminder that, “it’s not my pressure to hold” can work wonders.
Channel 39-55, the channel of Emoting, which we experience briefly in the last forecast will be sticking around until the 23rd. This channel brings us the design of moodiness. Asking us the question, am I in the mood for this right now?
This channel is individual, and it wants to be witnessed and supported in its emotional expression. The impulse of energy from the root can bring huge peaks, and also deep drops in emotion. Embracing the chaos of emotions is the key to navigating this experience. Knowing that both the highs and the lows serve a purpose in life.
This channel is deeply creative. You may find that the lows are the stimulus for creative expression, and the highs bring the acts of creating. Either way it is vital that you are “in the mood” to create. If this energy is ignored, it can build tension in the body and either internalize as self-destructive or externalize as unhealthy provocation of others.
Over the next 10 days reflect on, how do I experience a natural impulse to move and connect? Who in my life supports me to be where I am at without the pressure to return to neutral? How can I best honour my moods? What can I do to honor my needs when I feel in a low mood without trying to alter it?
On The 13th, we also experience the head pressure of the 61-24, Channel of Awareness. This brings us the energy of questioning the mysteries of life. Think, what are we doing here? What is humanity? How much can we learn? This brings the pressure of the unanswerable! This channel is the birthplace of religion, philosophy and psychics.
The channel of awareness seeks to combine new ideas and inspiration with pieces of understanding we already have to create another way of looking at life as we know it. This is a perfect time to deepen your connection to the universal energy as you know it. You may reflect upon, how do I feel connected to the something larger than myself in life? How can I relax into not knowing the answers? Can I enjoy the great mysteries of life without the need to solve them? How can I align to what I already know is working for me?
On the 17th whilst still experiencing the 39-55, we are joined by the 27-50, Channel of Preservation and the 3-60 Channel of Mutation.
These 3 channels stick around together until the 21st April. The combination of these energies is asking you, what am I creating and how can I nurture it to stick around? It is asking you to embrace the spontaneity of creative moods and creative expression as a form of chaos, whilst creating the environment it needs to be cared for and nurtured.
Channel 3-60, has been in and out of the transits for a few weeks now. Gate 60, the gate of Acceptance is stationed in Pluto. Pluto is an extremely slow moving planet, moving just 2 degrees per year. Each Human Design gate is roughly 6 degrees. So it’s going to be part of our experience for a while. And whenever gate 3 shows up in any other placement we get the whole channel.
The channel of mutation seeks to bring order to chaos. Creating within the boundaries and limitations of what we know to be true about life. This is the pressure to innovate WHEN we feel this impulse to do so. Allowing your body to lead you is vital. Ask yourself, how can I allow my body to move me into my next best action? Or what do I have the energy for right now? Creating space for flexible productivity each day.
This channel is where change begins in the Human Design chart. Change is not logical, or practical, it is chaotic. You may wish to journal on, where can I release the “how” of my goals? What am I resisting right now? Where do I need a little more acceptance and flow? How can I relax into the divine timing of my journey?
And finally the 27-50, Channel of Preservation. This is part of the tribal circuitry and focused on supporting “me and mine”. This is not the big picture collective view of life, but the more micro tribe and kinship view. This channel is here to nurture that which we bring into the world. At its core it is the energy to keep children thriving until they can pro-create.
But this is more than just physical, this is about nurturing creations of all kinds! This energy has other’s best interests at heart, but needs reciprocity for everyone to thrive. This is about survival and with that comes the possibility of rigidity. The feeling that anything outside of what is known, is scary and possibly unsafe.
During this transit, while creating space for spontaneous in the mood creations, you can reflect upon, do I need to renegotiate with those who I support? Do I feel I give and receive equally? How is filling my own cup first the best thing I can do to support those closest to me? Am I holding on too tightly to what I already know? How could a new idea allow me to thrive?
Moving into April 17th-23rd 2023.
We are carrying similar themes from last week into this week.
The coming week is all about the emotional definition! We begin the week with the individual wave, huge peaks of creation and deep lows of despair with the channel of emoting 39-55. It is then joined by the channel of transitoriness 36-35, the abstract collective emotional wave, inviting the themes of navigating expectation and disappointment.
Safe to say this week will involve some roller coasters of feelings. The bottom line here is though, all things will pass. Emotional definition is mechanical. It is climbing and building and dropping. But after each drop, there will be a climb, because it has to.
Think of a rollercoaster, it is always going up and down and up and down. Because it has to. I like to think of the Solar Plexus motor in the same way. Mantra for this coming week, “this too will end”. Ensuring that you wait for clarity, or a feeling of neutrality before acting or saying anything that cannot be taken back.
We begin the week, from the 18th-20th, with the 39-55, 27-50 and 3-60 combination I shared last week.
Continuing the themes of “being in the mood”, embracing chaos and limitations, and focusing on how we care for ourselves, others and our creations so they can survive and create an impact.
With this combo of channels we have 2 motors (root & solar plexus) and 2 awareness centers (solar plexus & spleen). The Solar Plexus is the only center that acts as awareness and a motor, one of the many reasons it is so powerful and so impactful.
So we are waiting for the correct timing, the divine impulse to do, coupled with the ability to see the highs and lows of each situation AND the awareness of how we strengthen what we are doing so that it can potentially create a legacy in the future.
Divine Timing : Patience & Clarity : Legacy
That’s our focus at the beginning of this week. We might reflect upon, what legacy do I want to create? How am I supporting myself and those I love to create an impact? How can I support myself in waiting for clarity?
Side note about clarity: remember this is the solar plexus, this is not certainty. You will rarely, probably never find 100% certainty in an emotional wave. We are not waiting for 100% clear to move. This is not about 100% yeses or noes.
I like to use the ocean analogy. The emotional wave can feel like getting tossed around in the waves of a storm. You’re caught in the whites, not knowing what way is up or down. Maybe you’re riding that peak higher than you’ve ever ridden before?! This is exhilarating, agonising sometimes, and we don’t make decisions here. Clarity is standing in the tiny waves, allowing them to lap across your ankles at the shore. Watching the waves crash further out to see.
Clarity is not stillness. It is a moment of comforting calm and awareness of what is out there.
On the 21st, the 36-35, the channel of transitoriness, joins these 3 channels.
It sticks around for the rest of the week (until the 26th), so get comfy with this one. This channel is about experience, moving from fear to growth by doing the damn thing. This is an experiential channel and you might find yourself jumping in to figure things out on the way.
The emotional themes here are all about expectation, disappointment and the crises we experience when things don’t go to plan. This channel is asking us to be IN the experience, on the journey, not already thinking of the destination. You may want to explore, how can I explore where I am right now? What am I learning on the journey to who I am becoming? How is releasing the outcome supporting my journeys through life?
With gate 36, the gate of crisis, being a part of this channel you may be feeling a little extra emotional charge as we come towards the end of the week. The gate brings the awareness of the entire emotional spectrum, highs and lows. It is here we experience the crisis AND climax of our lives. Because it is only through feeling it all that we can truly appreciate our humanity.
But this is intense! So give yourself some extra grace over this period. Practicing looking for the magic/gift/lesson in each crisis moment can be helpful. This is also where we learn to laugh at the ludicrousness of what it means to be human. Giving big “laugh or cry vibes”, to which I say do both!
A few questions to noodle on, am I clear about the highs and lows of this opportunity? Am I prepared to be in the adventure? Can I release my grip on the outcome? How is the chaos of life teaching me everything I need to know? Is my life stimulating right now? What is something I would love to explore but haven’t made a priority?
The 22nd and 23rd leave us with just the 2 emotional channels 39-55 & 36-35.
Both carrying huge themes! Take time to support yourself, your physical body and the time you need to reflect on the things life throws at you this weekend.
Do not feel pressured to express without clarity, without finding the lesson that has been learned. Inform those around you when you need alone time to process, to cry, or to wallow. Knowing that they again will pass, and the lesson will be available. This weekend ask yourself, do I feel pressured to express before I am clear on how I feel? How can I support myself to have the space I need? Who needs to be informed so I can be alone with my feelings when necessary?
