Welcome to another week in the stars. We have some big hitters (in my opinion) coming up this week! This week, May 16th-22nd, the Human Design Transits we’re continuing the theme of individuality, spontaneity and the tension that can come between being perfectly yourself in a world restricted by expectations, norms and interaction with others.
Coming up this week, we’ll seeing the 3-60 Channel of Mutation (still), being joined by the MG channel 34-20 Channel of Charisma, and the sun moving from Gate 8 of Contribution, to Gate 20, Gate of the Now.
We’ll start with the 3-60, Channel of Mutation, which continues formatting our experience collectively. So we are continuing to be invited to embody all the new things we can. Reflecting upon, where am I trying too hard to control the outcome? Where am I focusing too much on the restrictions that naturally occur in my life?
Human Design Transits May 16th-22nd Theme: Individuality & Melancholy
Remember, as we transit these individual channels we are also experiencing the potential theme of melancholy.
Melancholy, as an energy in Human Design, refers to a very particular experience. The melancholy here is the absence of a feeling. The void of a heightened (either high or low) emotion. Melancholy is created in the LACK of an experience.
The individual circuit and all its channels and gates, including ALL of those showing up this week, work as a pulse of energy.
They are on or they are off. This begins with the format channel 3-60 between the Sacral and the Root. When it is on, it’s seeking an experience, a movement, a mutation or a feeling. Again this can trigger a feeling that is really high, or really low.
The melancholy comes in the in-between stage. The “off”. You are not ecstatically happy or deeply desperate. There is a lack of feeling, an emptiness, and this can force or trigger a push towards something ANYTHING to have a heightened experience again.
So as we are deep in this energy this week, reflect upon, do I have the tendency to push myself into action to avoid feeling this absence? Do I tell myself that action is always the answer? Or, how can I support myself to be still and wait even if it feels uncomfortable?
Connecting with your physical body through movement in these moments can help you become one with your natural pulse. Allowing you to fully relax into the times in the inbetween.
What are Pairing Partners?
On the Sunday 21st May, the sun enters gate 20, the Now, bringing with it its pairing partner gate 34, Power.
This forms the Channel of Charisma, the ONLY Manifesting Generator channel in the bodygraph, connecting the sacral center directly to the throat center.
A moment for pairing partners (also called programming partners)! Pairing partners is a term you will hear as you dive deeper into your Human Design studies. Pairing partners are gates that are directly opposite each other on the Rave Mandala. Your sun and earth gates will be 2 sets of pairing partners, as these placements are opposites as they move.
But what each pairing partner really speaks to is polarity. Your sun energy shines out, your earth energy grounds you down. In the same way each set of pairing partners speaks to 2 sides of our existence.
Some pairing partners form channels, 34-20 being one pair (43-23 and 37-40 are the others). They represent these 2 pieces of our existence, the polarities within our human existence. And because they create a channel these energies are pretty abundant in our communities.
I can pretty much guarantee there is at least one 34-20 in your life, if not multiple!
Human Design Transits & the 34-20!
So finally, onto channel 34-20, channel of charisma, hanging out with us until Friday 26th May.
This energy represents pure manifested sacral action. It is the only channel that takes your powerful sacral response (34) and expresses it directly into the world in the now (20). More than expression this channel seeks action, in the now.
One of my favourite pure MGs, the wonderful Jo of @beige_rainbow_designs, with her only channel being the 34-20, describes this energy as “buzzy”. Just buzzing around. Like a happy little bee. And I think that sums it up perfectly.
This isn’t about legacy, or building something that lasts. This is pure satisfaction based action, in the moment!
The polarity here lives in the waiting for the sacral response, before it can be expressed in the now. Because if there is no sacral yes, there is no action, no expression and no manifestation.
This channel is part of the integration channels, a sub-section of the individual circuit. This collection of channels are about pure individual survival, embodying the idea that “if I can survive alone, we can survive together”. Flipping our tribal, community ideals of survival on their heads completely.
It is the ability to be completely yourself that creates the charismatic and alluring energy found here. So this time is once again about YOU. Your satisfaction. The things that excite you. Asking, how can I surrender to exactly who I am in each moment? Am I allowing myself to move quickly when inspired?
During this time of collective buzziness, it’s super important that you follow your inner authority before taking any action that will make an impact. But you are also being invited to be so deeply present in this moment that you get to buzz around like your best happy little bee self.
Reflecting over the next 5 days on, what brings me pure satisfaction? Am I creating time in my day to experience joy and pleasure? Where can I create pockets of time to move spontaneously?
This is a manifesting generated channel, so you may find the tension of wanting to complete every task you begin. The “buzziness” of the 34-20, doesn’t always lend itself to completion.
Again think of a bee collecting nectar. A little bit here, a little bit there. They don’t suck each flower dry, but move on once they’ve had their fill. So it may be a great time to ask yourself, where I am forcing myself in life? Can I release the things that no longer excite me?
Or a question I pose in my Human Design love letters to all the gorgeous MGs out there, how can I reframe my version of completion? Can I begin to recognize when my energetic input has come to an end? How is releasing the things I no longer enjoy, allowing myself to show up more fully where I want to be?
As always, to all of my undefined sacrals, enjoy this buzzy energy. Allow it to move you but remember this is borrowed energy! Take care of your physical body. Take breaks and recognize your bodies cues for tiredness and when you need a rest!
