Read moreThe 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.
Read moreWhich 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.

Projector Success Secrets: the Advisor Career Type
I Survived the Coronavirus (Covid-19) here's my Personal Experience
Update of blog posting is 5/8/2020. This is a journal of my journey through the last couple of months of Coronavirus Quarantine which hit my household really hard, with a huge hospital bill, lost wages, lost clients, and lost opportunity. Yet hey! I’m still alive to tell the tale. My chest still aches, and the cough lingers, though it doesn’t hurt to breathe anymore, it hurts to talk too much but I’m finally able to be teaching and do what I love again. Here’s my experience interspersed with the lessons I learned.
A personal perspective on the Coronavirus
March 16th, 2020
When something hits me close to home, I am designed to share my experiences to help empower and advise when things do not work. My job for others is to universalize what's practical through empowering a new direction through my living example of walking the path and sharing how I feel along the journey. It's part of how I experience being a Cross of Contagion - an innocent Instrument of Fate who can step in and change the fate of others through learning, experience and discovery.
For the science-minded people, this is helpful to know - up to the minute data on our current coronavirus crisis.
Ra said our global human immune system is failing. As a 3/5 myself who has experienced the pain of things being broken, I have practical information to share with you so that hopefully, we can be more prepared and take this seriously.
On Mondays, I teach my Living Your Projector Design Success Secrets series. As a public service, I co-created a special presentation with a fellow professional Fran Hale on the Splenic Center, our bodygraph’s function for health, safety, security, physical awareness, and well-being. Here is the recording.
Remember to use your Authority to navigate this crisis. Because this COVID-19 is not something to sneeze at.
Unfortunately, I’ve been sneezing and it sucks. It is rare to have a cold or flu make it so you cannot breathe. With this virus: it’s common. That is potentially life-threatening and this is very serious for certain populations.
My husband has not been sick enough to go to the doctor for 15 years, because he is obsessed with health, eats a diet that is appropriate to keep himself strong, lean and fit, never touches sugars, alcohol or drugs, and takes immunity boosters. It was shocking to me to see him in a crisis of being unable to breathe, with crushing chest pain, asking me to take him to the hospital. We thought he was dying; I have never seen him in so much pain, and he has a high pain tolerance.
Even though he might have been exposed due to travel to California and travelers here from overseas, they didn’t test him for the virus because they couldn’t.
Again, the most important thing I advise is to self-quarantine. Unless you’re in an emergency medical situation like my husband was a few days ago, because you can’t breathe.
My daughter fell feverishly-ill at the beginning of March, (later addition: I thought this was a relapse, I found out later that the new Montessori school I’d put her in Sedona had children in China in January so likely that’s where she got it) relapsing from whatever she had in San Diego where they didn’t test her, only gave her antibiotic eye drops. I have been fighting whatever it is without being able to teach since the 17th. Never had a flu fever with a dry cough without a resulting runny nose before.
I share this because people need to know, our nurse strongly advised having enough emergency food on hand to last our family for two months.
I was shocked. I asked her why. The things I’d read said two weeks. She said China is in its third month of this.
Nobody is experienced with this new strain. Avoidance is our best chance at slowing this down so we don't overwhelm our doctors. There’s still no treatment other than ride it out.
***If you feel you cannot breathe: Go to the hospital IMMEDIATELY***
Because we live in an affluent retirement and vacation area where people have money to prepare: our stores got quickly near wiped out of certain things. Meats. Paper goods. Canned goods. Dry goods. Frozen food. Everyone stocked up... and now imagine even a handful of people rushed to the hospital because they cannot breathe.
I did that with my husband. We live in a beautiful community where the median age is 58, approximately 57% higher than the Arizona average of 37. Millions of tourists flock here yearly from around the world. Yet West Sedona is such a tiny town we have one ER with 2 beds, and the other one, when we went in, was already taken. How many ventilators are going to be available? Not nearly enough if we don’t stop spreading it!
People have a right to know that just because there are little to no reported cases does not mean we don't have exposure. We need to be as safe as we can.
And though my husband does everything possible for his health, things the average population doesn't, he got sick and developed bilateral pneumonia. He’s still weak but doing better now; so is my daughter. I thank my lucky stars I'm still breathing easily, and that my students understand when I had to postpone a class yesterday to rest.
I calmly advise everyone to please take this seriously. Please be responsible and do everything possible to help us be safer.
Love Yourself,
Laveena

My Coronavirus Experience Update: March 23, 2020
My husband Ohryn is recovering well after an emergency hospital visit on March 13th for sudden crushing chest pains. After all kinds of scans and tests (they were unable to test for coronavirus) he was diagnosed with the development of bilateral pneumonia. In talking over the phone with our Doctor, she says in her professional opinion it is definitely Coronavirus.
Three weeks later, I've had to cancel all of my classes and sessions my fight to heal.
Here is the chart for when the Coronavirus first began.
See the Splenic Center (brown triangle) connected to the Heart (small red triangle? That's the Channel of Surrender, a design of a Transmitter. It is a channel that is birds, reptiles, and fish have (trans-species between us and them).
Ohryn and I have the 44-26 together (my cool 44's .2 & .5 in both Uranus and his hot 26 in Personality Earth in the 5th line). The air here in Sedona is very dry, which makes our lungs more susceptible to the coronavirus.
We have been isolating at home with our family since my husband was in the hospital - my symptoms suddenly got worse a week later, Thursday morning due to chest pains and shortness of breath. I cried in pain every day except this morning and have been resting and sleeping a lot.
At JovianArchive, we put out a lot of helpful information this week to help everyone understand what is going on from a Human Design Perspective. I'm sharing the videos and links to Ra's take on the Bird Flu epidemic and videos that are normally for sale on the site.
Don't miss the audio/transcription where Ra is talking about the 44-26 and its relationship to trans-special diseases. No time to read/listen? Read on:
Attention all 4th line profiles and any Gate 44's especially, a heads up, even if you feel healthy please use your Authority and pay special attention....
You are highly likely to transmit the disease if you have it; you are designed to be carriers to your network. It takes 5-6 days for the symptoms to develop after you've been infected, by then you could have gotten many people sick, which floods our hospitals with people who need to be helped and overwhelms the system, increasing the likelihood that people will die unnecessarily.
Remember to use your Authority to navigate this crisis.
I noticed that the age group most likely to die are those who were born in 1935. So I created a chart to see what gate Pluto was in then. Gate 62, which is in Opposition to the 61, where we have had Pluto sitting lately along with Jupiter and Saturn.
Being that the average Pluto Opposition is 130 years, it is very rare for someone to live past that cycle. Pluto has been moving very fast lately as it is on a big elliptical orbit as compared to other planets, so the Gate 62 Pluto generation is experiencing their Plutonic Opposition and it makes sense that many would leave this plane in the last transformation of the form - death.
My message to everyone is: please follow your Authority and if correct, stay home to help flatten the curve as millions of lives are at stake. ISOLATE unless you are having trouble breathing like my husband was. I have never seen him in so much pain, and he is a very strong and normally healthy person. Our men are more likely to die from this; it has been theorized the gender difference in death percentages is because they are more likely to smoke, so smokers please take note to be extra careful.
In Human Design, we have something called Primary Health System (PHS link to an article that helps explain what that is). I hope my personal experience and perspective shared with these Ra materials help you understand how very serious this can be.
Love Yourself,
Laveena

My Coronavirus Experience Update: March 27, 2020
I have been fighting this illness with everything I can think of, but I developed pneumonia this week. Sleeping ALOT, the malaise is really bad. I thought I was getting better but the fever came back today. Someone gave me a video from Martin Grassinger and he said to eat egg yolks and bovine colostrum. I have been drawn to the yolks a lot lately and I added colostrum in. Staying away from EMFs as much as possible since I have a Right Brain Variable.

My Coronavirus Experience Update: March 29, 2020
My acupuncturist is positive we have coronavirus. She is sick and in quarantine too and treating us remotely. We have 5 confirmed cases in our little valley

My Coronavirus Experience Update: April 2nd, 2020
I have cried twice this morning, in so much chest pain. The headache is massive. My brain is not thinking clearly and when I try to talk I’m not using the right words. I’m doing my best not to panic, so scared, and really bummed out. We just got my husband’s hospital bill and I’m doing my best to stay out of there.
I’ve taken so much vitamin C my kidneys hurt. I have fever, delirium, and chills again today. It feels like my chest and back have slices in it.
(reply to a text from a friend)
My Coronavirus Experience Update: April 4th, 2020
My husband says from his pattern of the illness it looks like I’m getting better because I’m coughing more, which is very painful, rattles the chest so hard yet brings up nothing. I still get winded getting out of bed. The headache from lack of oxygen is near-constant, the lymph nodes are swollen but I haven’t had a Fever in the last two days. Last week I had some pretty bad kidney pains (I was hospitalized for several days with Nephritis in 2011 and they told me my kidneys would never be the same because of it) but thankfully that pain is gone now.
I feel very touched and moved to have all of your support and understanding. I got so very scared last week, crying a lot especially when my defined Splenic husband was not around. Yesterday I contemplated going to the hospital a few towns away to get tested because they still can’t here but I’m not having a hard time breathing where I’m needing that kind of help and I don’t want to pass this on. I don’t wish this kind of pain on anyone. I’m crying in gratitude now. Thank You

My Coronavirus Experience Update: April 7, 2020
I’m at the coughing up blood stage today. :-( Still not expectorating any mucus from my lungs. My right lung pain is worse, but I’m not fevered with chills for the second day in a row now. My husband says I’m getting better because he also went through the deep coughing before he got better. I’m whining more about the pain instead of crying or just sleeping/laying listlessly.
It’s horrific not being able to do anything. The coughing is so bad now it sounds like I should be in the hospital, but I don’t want to get others sick unless it is life-threatening and so far I can still breathe. The lungs burn though.
(reply to a text from a friend)
My Coronavirus Experience Update: April 9th, 2020
First some Inspiration, then some Contagion (my Cross) of what is most empowering and practical as I've discovered something that definitely doesn't work, which you'll really want to know in these coming days. You are more likely to develop pneumonia when you do get this illness if you do not heed my warning of what does not work.
Ah, Contagion. The word may bring up fearful images or scary feelings as our world battles with COVID-19.
Coronavirus timeline:
January 19: 100 cases
January 24: 1,000 cases
February 12: 50,000 cases
March 6: 100,000 cases (my daughter and husband fell sick)
March 18: 200,000 cases (here's where I succumbed)
March 26: 500,000 cases
April 2: 1,000,000 cases
April 8: 1,500,000 cases
I know this despair personally, the fear and pain of this illness, and the "inconvenience" of being sick dragging on into weeks without teaching my beloved Human Design students.
Three weeks ago, the chest pains and shortness of breath began, so suddenly, I missed conducting a coaching session. The fever and chills raged, then came off and on. It felt like sharp knives were lodged in my chest.
Breathing was so painful right up until today, where now, it's the coughing that really, really, REALLY hurts. This cough is deep and more painful than I've ever experienced (and I had pneumonia as a teen). On Monday, I could taste and smell the blood when I'd cough, but it's still unproductive. Thankfully, no fever today, hence being able to write to you. I still can’t talk long enough without coughing to teach.
When you are ill, you can increase your suffering significantly by railing against what is, and by getting mentally depressed by failing to change what is.
OR, you can look around and see yourself and your life from a new perspective. What is the most important thing?
My mind tried to tell me it was teaching. "I have to warn everyone and help others as soon as possible." Ha! And my husband, my team, my students, kindly kept inviting me to rest, with my body having the final say. Hey Gate 27, care for yourself first! 😉
Impatience with my illness, "I don't have time to be sick!" had to transform into patience. I had no choice. We can turn this impatience weakness into strength, the strength to accept what is. Teaching the acceptance of what is, is my Dharma. Leading you to be successful in the paradox of accepting the Fates while changing your Fate is part of my life's work as a Cross of Contagion.
The awakening of our consciousness through a realignment to the real resonance of our being is at hand.
When you are sick, can you feel that your body is providing a valuable learning experience?
Can you sense it delivering the messages of these symptoms that, as a global pandemic, can put us in touch with the greater whole of our human existence?
This direction we are going in is a terrifying Shock. The end of humanity as we know it is shocking, as our bodies break down, mutate, and transform to prepare for something new to emerge from our specie.
The grief is palpable, can you feel it?
As my body was wracked with fever, I could feel in the morphogenetic connection we all have, that deep panic and the fear. It was so, so scary. My mind raced with what-ifs and anytime my 5/1 Projector husband was not around, I was miserable without his defined splenic comfort and jokes to help me see and know the lighter side of things.
The transits right now bring fear of tomorrow which can ground our shock and help us mutate.
Is it right for you to transform the shock into courage?
Our bodies instinctively adapt on our path of awakening, rooted in fear of what tomorrow will bring, which leads us to listen to our bodies to know what to do.
Pluto and Jupiter are conjunct in 61.5, deeply transforming us from within, teaching us to know our own personal, inner Truth, bringing messages of individuality and empowerment we can no longer ignore.
Despair can turn into strength, resistance can transform into success. The crisis of this illness has become the vehicle for profound worldwide transformation and deep healing from within our own bodies, which survive or make the ultimate transformation of death.
The body of Mother Earth is experiencing a virus that kills the weak and has stilled our population enough to begin healing herself.
When you are correct, you get the illness you need for your personal transformation. These last few weeks, though painful, have been a profound reset for me, as I had to let go of control and surrender to the body's deep need for personal downtime and spaciousness to just space.
My need to share with you about what I've learned living under this Coronavirus pandemic has overcome my body's aversion to being around electronics. The fears, the pain, the helplessness has finally lifted enough for me to write and make a video to quickly share what is most practical.
I highly recommend a simple breathing technique I wish someone had told us weeks ago. It might have saved my husband and me weeks of being sick and a huge hospital bill due to pneumonia.
As I'm designed to, I learned something the hard way, and have to explain in my own emotional way. But if you skipped all that and are looking for the gem, please pay attention now: If you're being struck hard by the virus like we are, here's the most practical advice I can give you:
***DO NOT LAY ONLY ON YOUR BACK.***
See video below for a doctor's explanation. (Video has since been removed from YouTube.)
My mind keeps planning on being able to work the next day I wake up. And I watched as the headache from lack of oxygen hits me, or the coughing grips me in so much pain that I cry, I laugh inside at the ridiculousness of believing my mind's story.
Oh yeah, and that most important thing? For me, it's Loving What Is, this movie of Life. Thank you for Being along on this journey to share with, my dear friends in Human Design.
With so much appreciation and Love,
Laveena

My Coronavirus Experience Update: April 18, 2020
Hey my dear friends, the good news is I’m finally starting to feel better instead of worse. I’m still coughing to where teaching is probably not a good idea as stuff just started to come out of my chest this morning, yuck! The super deep lung vibrating and horribly painful coughing is subsiding, thank goodness. The fever and chills are gone for several days, hopefully for good. What felt like knives in my lungs are dull and aching now instead of sharp and hot, and although I’m still bedridden, for the most part I can get to the bathroom without exhaustion. Headache comes and goes instead of constant. Kidney pains still coming and going. Talking and Laughing makes me cough but at least I can now and the malaise is subsided, yay!
I hope everyone is staying safe and well.

My Coronavirus Experience Update: April 21, 2020
I have been getting up on my feet finally, there are better and worse days where I can't do much. Because when I try to do things I get worse. After teaching in bed Sunday the 18th which was hard with the constant pressure, I had a really bad day of recovering and more coughing than usual, probably because all that talking pressure loosened stuff in my chest, and the pain has spread to different areas I hadn't felt before, still makes me cry but not every day. The fatigue is so bad I use a wheeled cart to lean on like an old lady and get around slowly when really weak. Any normal exertion brings on the shortness of breath and headaches, but they are not constant and way less thank goodness! I’m so very glad I was finally able to start teaching again for the BG5 Business Institute after a month of being sick.
(from an email reply to a friend)
My Coronavirus Experience Update: April 25, 2020
Today I'm happy to say it is the first day I don't have any new terrible sharp knives in my chest, I just feel general pressure, dull and achy and I can finally talk without too much pain or uncontrollable coughing. I really feel I'm finally getting better, thank goodness! OMG, it was SO scary. My mind really thought I might die at a few points, the struggle to survive caused no energy, then physical and mental depression. My body cried so much, but the last time was Thursday, and it was minor compared to the week before. I haven't had the capacity to do much of anything but self-care with help. I'm so happy to have gotten to the place where I want to do stuff! I am doing my best to be patient and go easy when my mind says go. I have finally the energy to do more than just lay there breathing and wishing to be better, yay!

My Coronavirus Experience Update: April 28, 2020
(was able to participate in the BG5 Live episode where I shared some of the most important things I learned about how to cope with this experience)
My Coronavirus Experience Update: May 2, 2020
I’m publishing this blog entry in totality today, it’s the first since January. I went through so much - my ex-husband was in the hospital, my daughter moved in with us, and we all got sick, my husband was in the hospital, I almost had a lease on an office space in West Sedona, but that fell through because of the coronavirus closures too.
The most interesting thing to me as a Human Design Professional would be to share with you a note on my Human Design Experiment with PHS aka Primary Health System: I am a “cold thirst” Determination person. I’ve experimented with eating and drinking cold since Jan 2013. This virus makes me HATE the cold. So I’ve been using hot water bottles, the sun, hot crystal mats, hot liquids outside AND in - not piping hot, but warm to my chest, which is the only thing that soothed the intense pain. My thinking had gotten fuzzy and the wrong words came out of my mouth when it was really bad. I don’t know if its the virus causing the confusion or my cognition is affected because of me deviating from my PHS.
However, I also notice there’s been a transformation of awareness in me. Is it the removal of psychological blocks because Pluto in Gate 61 that has been going back and forth over my Natal Moon since Jan of last year? Was it the coronavirus experience I had? Whatever the case may be, I feel much more compassionate, humble, generous and at ease with accepting life as it is. Perhaps because, when faced with such deeply profound helplessness of the body, when it was the most painful, I could so clearly see/feel/experience that surrender to the form is the only option, no matter what the mind thought it could, couldn’t or wanted to do. I could see how someday I would want to pass away from the form, have the body let go of me so that it could take its final rest. The moment of breathing, that aching sigh of breath, be it in relief or pain, had to be trusted, embraced, and loved, for exactly what it was.
Life.
Remember to love yourself, first.
Namaste, beloveds.

Your Life's Work - Playing the Starring Role in Your "Movie"
Do you like movies?
I do. Love ‘em. I’m one of those people who can be so totally absorbed in watching, that in my body, when I watch it feels as if what I’m seeing is actually happening to me. This is thanks in part to the Channel 41-30, focused recognition of feelings, the strength of Imagination.
Naturally for my design with its sensitivity to sound, I avoid certain kinds of movies. Like horror! I remember watching a horror movie with my sister’s family and screaming at the bloody murder in front of me! This is thanks to the Channel 1-8, being the demonstrative voice of the group. I never lived it down.
Everyone you see in this life has a very special part to play in their own life movie. Everyone deserves a starring role in their own life movie.
So how do you discover your role?
There are three vital and critical aspects to know about how you are here to fulfill your life’s purpose.
Would you like to know yours?
In the Human Design System:
Your Character is your Profile.
Your Role is your Cross.
Your Characteristics are your Design.
In BG5 (the career and business application of the Human Design System) we call this your “Life Work.”
Let’s hear Ra tell the story:
“It’s the movie. I’m a great believer in the movies. I love the movie - life. And in that analogy of the movie is the parts in the play. It’s something to understand about being a human being….
You have Character, and you have Role, and you have Characteristics.
I’m an Ego-Manifestor. That’s my Characteristic. I’m a 5/1, I’m a Heretic Investigator. That’s my Character. And I came in on the Cross of the Clarion. That’s my role.
So I’m a Heretical Investigator, that tells everybody the news and I do it by being a very powerful manifesting ego-being. That’s my place in the movie.
Now think about what that’s like when you come into the movie and you’re coming into the auditions and they give you characteristics but they don’t give you a Character and a Role.
We call them Extras.” Ra Uru Hu
I remember being an extra on the tv shows Baywatch and Wind Over Water as an actress in my late teens in Hawaii.
Being an extra back then paid $100 a day. There’s no spoken parts when you are an extra, you’re a part of the scene. You are expendable, replaceable, almost unnoticeable to the audience and totally ignored by the stars. In the movies, as an extra, you’re a background part of what’s happening. Even though I took Bo Derek on a scuba diving trip… in the filming, she ignored me. Because I was an extra.
Ra continues...
“‘Okay we’re gonna have an Emotional Generator in the back of this scene.’
"Bzzzzzzz bzzzzzz" imitates Ra of the Sacral being’s energy. “They don’t even get on the credits at the end of the movie, eh? No billing, nothing, they’re not even Johnny at the end of the second…” yes it’s true. You won’t find me in the credits of Baywatch.
Ra jokingly calls that being “Furniture.” Why?
He tells a story about how he’d been a Magazine Publisher in his early adult days in Canada and had hired a photographer to do a shoot for him. And the Photographer, very agitated, barked at his assistant, “Get me some furniture!” Ra, thinking she was going to bring back sofas and chairs, was stunned to see the assistant bring back three girls to place in the background of the shot.
“You give me a full stadium, I’ll give you a furniture showroom.” He joked after teaching Human Design for over a decade.
“The furniture is everywhere - it’s everywhere. This is the 'not-self'. Characteristics without any Character and Role, ‘cause you don’t get to live out your Cross and you don’t get to live out your Profile until you’re living out your nature. You don’t.
“The not-self doesn’t get you there, the not-self is an extra in the movie homogenized in the background. Get a life. There’s no life in that. None whatsoever. None. You’re not living out your design, you’re just furniture. That’s the way it is, I mean, we live in a furniture world.
We live in a world of extras.”
Don’t be an extra. You have so much more human depth and divinity than being background furniture.

Emotional Authority - Defined Solar Plexus - Why to Wait for Clarity
Human Design Emotional Authority people have a Defined Solar Plexus
Transcript:
So we're gonna start with the most
Common “waiting for clarity” these people
Need to feel their feelings and all of
You who are emotional as a definition
That is the key. Feel your feelings don't
Be afraid to feel your feelings. But what
Happens when you have an adult in your
Life who is not emotional they don't
Feel comfortable with your feelings they
Suppress you if they drug you they make
You bad and wrong for being up and down
This is a real-life experience that I've
Seen countless times for emotional
People who have up and downs and then
Until it gets you can't it's like a
Pressure cooker you can't pressurize
Yourself for so long it explodes at some
Point yeah you get angry you explode
Something happens that it doesn't feel
Good and then you're really embarrassed
And then you try to put the lid on even
Tighter next time okay so if you feel an
Exaggerated urgency or pressure to act
When you are emotional and you're
Nervous and you're not sure and you just
Gotta get rid of this pressure let me do it
That's not your authority when you're
Really really happy or really really sad
That's not the time to make a choice
It's usually coming from the mind not
From clarity when you feel anxious and
Nervous and uncomfortable and your mind
Is going into all these hypotheses and
Telling you don't wait you can't afford
To wait because the operative term here
Is patience is its own reward patience
Gives you clarity you never ever ever
Make a choice when you're dysregulated
Crying upset never you you cancel that
Engagement whatever it is get get okay
With you if you have an important
Meeting and you're all over the map
That's a sign your body does not want to
Go into that meeting and then people go
Well I have to I promised I must I
Should know cuz you might have an
Important meeting and you just had
People die or whatever it happens to be
And you need some time time is what is
Really healing and time is what is
Needed for people when their
Dysregulated to off-gas the emotions
However or to express to feel whatever
Those emotions need to do that's not the
Time for important decision-making hi is
Worse than low because when you're high
Happy happy everything's great
You're gonna make a yes choice that
You're going to regret later
Because you didn't see all the downs the
Downs give us important information
About the big picture wait for pressure
To subside wait to be able to feel when
The timings right
This means no nervousness you are
Jittery you are anxious you are nervous
You can't swallow coz a lump in your
Throat wait wait make excuses healthy
Excuses you know let me get back to you
Let me sleep on it can I have some time
To process this this is a lot to take in
Right now I need some time yeah can I
Get back to you when do I need to get
Back to you when do you need to know bye
Push it off the further you push off a
Decision the healthier it is for you if
You are nervous so once you've been
Recognized and invited as an advisor
Never make the choice point on happy
Happy happy or low make it somewhere in the middle
Where you've already been up and down on
That particular experience sleep on it
At least sleep on it because you wake up
In a totally different mood than you
Were when you were down when you are
Going to sleep so give yourself the time
Don't get tossed around by the waves of
Emotion because it's like the difference
Between you and having rose-colored
Glasses on when you're happy and really
Foggy thick glasses of not being able to
See blinders it's like having blinders
On when you're sad cuz you're only
Attuned to what is going on in front of
You that resonates to how you feel
Remember we're all resonant creatures
We're vibrating on a frequency when
You're happy you can't remember the last
Time you were so devastated felt like
Life was falling apart
Not really you don't have access to that
Energy so wait for calm confidence
Clarity not excitement you know that
Common what is it law of attraction
Thing follow your highest excitement
That's not true for emotional people not
Spontaneously okay I hope I make that
Clear so we cannot make choices up here
Or down here I have left relationships
Down here and regretted it for the rest
Of my life don't make my mistake wait
Out your wave make decisions from calm
And clarity because what happens is we
Have emotions that go up and down there
Is a choice point somebody asks and then
You have to wait for time because time
Gives you perspective okay time gives
You perspective on whether or not to
Support your tribe with this bargain or
That whether or not to empower or to be
Social to be with that other person
Because or do that thing because you're
Passionate about it because you love it
Like nothing else in this universe when
Time gives you the availability to know
Whether you should share your emotions
With others or
Actually engage in that experience with
Them time is the only truth with
Emotionally intelligent people. Time is
Your friend
Your mind is not.”

Human Design System Generator & Manifesting Generator Career Type Builder
Dear Generators/Manifesting Generators,
Are you feeling frustrated, limited or stuck?
Here's the best thing you can do for yourself (and your career/business) if you are.
Relax into your true nature, and let go of what your mind thinks should happen.
"I think therefore I do" totally takes you off track. It's the reason for all of the suffering in your life. So how do you get back home to you?
The Human Design System's experiment can help. Learn about your genetically determined Strategy and Authority.
This helps you have more ease and you'll see how you can experience FLOW STATE when you get the hang of it.
It all boils down to your energetics. Most of us are so screwed up from a lifetime of trying to be what we aren't, our frequency is "off." So everything is a series of train-wrecks until we get re-aligned.
1)Alignment involves knowing key information about yourself,
2)Observe yourself with a commitment to experiment,
3)Follow your body and question every thought.
It takes time to repattern the old programming.
If you are a Generator Type and new to design, here is a video outlining the most import things you need to know about you.
The cornerstone of this System is Strategy and Authority. This mechanical key gets your mind out of your own way to help guide you home to yourself.
My desire for is for every generator child (anyone under 30) to know this about themselves someday.
Can you watch and share with your tribe if you find it helpful?
I hope you enjoy the discoveries of yourself.
Projector Success Secrets: the Advisor Career Type
Projector Question: What are the consequences of not working according to your true nature?
Answer: Feeling bitterly unsuccessful and sacrificing your quality of life, relationships, and health in an attempt to make money and keep up with the world. If you are not working in alignment with the success secrets of your Advisor career type, there are severe consequences to your health and overall well-being.
For example, you may experience adrenal fatigue, chronic fatigue syndrome, hypothyroid problems, exhaustion, and burnout. If we are not working correctly for our type, we are not living in alignment and can feel sour about the lack of success in our lives in addition to being exhausted.
If that sounds familiar to you, there's hope!
It's essential to your well-being and work-life balance to operate in alignment with your unique capabilities. Would you like to know about your unique Advisor career type to facilitate success in business?
In this article, I aim to support and empower fellow Advisors to reach their fullest potential. Advisor career types are called Projectors in the Human Design System. Advisors are needed to lead and guide the processes of Builders (Generators) and Innovators (Manifestors). If you’re new to this system, welcome! I hope you embark on a personal journey that is deeply profound and transformative. Comprehending and integrating your career type is the first step in owning your unique individuality.
Ready to set yourself up for success? Read on!
How Human Design Projector / BG5 Advisors Can Access Power to Achieve Career Success
This BG5 article is a continuation of a Career Type series written for the BG5 Business Institute that can help you comprehend your unique career type. We recommend you read the complete set to improve your communications with colleagues, clients, co-workers, and bosses. Empowering your inter-relational skills — by adjusting to the way each person is designed by his or her nature — yields optimum results in the workplace.
We are going to focus on the Advisor, the second most common of the four basic career types, and how we interact successfully with the other career types. Being an Advisor means advising others in their work. We need to get paid for the value we bring as specialists, teachers, mentors, and guides regarding a process or system we've mastered.
Knowing your career type gives you a straightforward tool for decision making. Career type shows you how to make choices you trust and use your precious energy in the right way, aligned with your natural strengths, talents, and gifts.
How to Avoid Human Design Projector / BG5 Advisor Career Type Pitfalls
For all Advisers, the key thing to remember is that you do not have a consistent energy resource to generate worker-bee energy. You are not designed to go, go, go, go, go all the time. You have to pay attention to your body's need for breaks and rest. You are not designed to do all the doing yourself, but your mind may think that’s the solution. Unfortunately, believing your mind’s “I have to do this all by myself” thinking leads to burnout fast. The lesson here is learning that there is nothing wrong with your need to delegate or do things according to your timing.
Your success depends on having energetically healthy people around you who acknowledge your skills and offer you their energy resources to work with and to guide. When recognized, you excel at organizing and leading individuals, groups, and systems. You're here to see and connect with those who invite you to share what you know. It's hard to guide the process when you're caught up in thinking you have to do everything all by yourself. When others recognize your gifts and invite your advice on how you’re here to make things more efficient and effective, and you only accept the roles that are correct for you, you’re on the right track.
As a specialist working for short periods of time, through seeing the big picture and leading or guiding the process, you’ll taste the sweetness of success.
70% of the human population are Builders, so you may often find yourself trying to fit in or prove yourself to keep up with their go, go, go energy. The conditioning of being around so many Builders can lead you to push yourself into unhealthy states of exhaustion where your system can break down. If you're around people who are not healthy for you, you amplify the energy that can drain or weaken you. This situation can spiral downwards into all kinds of health issues.
If you're an adviser, your success depends on having energetically healthy people around you and leading and guiding the process when you’re recognized and then invited. You have the brilliant ability to bring people together and to maximize energy and resources. Remember that it's vitally important to take time to rest when needed in order to remain healthy. The most important thing for you to learn is extreme self-care.
Because so much of the world are Builders, you can often find yourself trying to live in their reality, trying to keep up with their energy. The myth of having to keep up can lead you to become a kind of super slave and cause you deep resentment. Pushing yourself can lead you into unhealthy states of exhaustion, where your system can start to break down.
If you're so focused on being seen for something you think you know, it can keep you from not allowing others to recognize you naturally. Sometimes you might find that you're struggling so hard to be appreciated that you may begin to be known for something out of integrity with your design’s natural gifts. For example, you might want a promotion and the only way you think you can get it is to be a super hard worker, wearing all the hats and doing everything yourself. When you feel sour at being passed up for a promotion and you think, “Why don't they see how hard I work?” oh boy, are you way off track! Bitterness is how you know that you're that trying too hard at something that is not your correct job.
Give advice only when you’re recognized and invited in order to guide others to do the doing in the most efficient, effective way possible. Learn to delegate! That's one of the most important solutions for you to remain healthy.
How to Recognize the Human Design Projector / BG5 Advisor Career Type
You can usually spot the Advisor by their intense gaze, intent focus, or penetrating stare. They’re usually studying something, and have an impressive global awareness. Some Advisors know a lot about many things, but once they find their passion they can be like Aspergians — super-focused on a particular area of interest.
Advisors are the most diverse of the career Types. There are many different decision-making strategies within these three sub-types of Advisor: Mental, Classic, and Energy Advisors. (We’ll go more into how to discover which kind you are in our free webinar training, stay tuned!).
All Projectors / Advisors have this in common: the Energy Resource (Sacral) is not defined, and there is no definition of any of the energy functions to the Communication and Action Function (Throat).
Most Advisors delight in being asked for what we see in terms of the big picture, how things fit together, and how things can be made for efficient or effective. We love being valued and appreciated for our perspective.
For Advisors, recognition is a two-way street. As an Advisor, you need to learn to trust the mechanics of your focused and absorbing presence. Relax into the knowing that you are designed to be seen and recognized.
You are also intended to see and acknowledge others. You work best when you can focus in on one person at a time, where you can focus on who they are and share what you see.
Just as you're designed to see and recognize others, so are you created to be seen and appreciated by others naturally. When you trust the subtle mechanics of your design, you open yourself up to truly hear the recognition and notice the invitations of others; that's where the magic happens for you.
Be your shining Self. There is nothing you need to "do” because who you naturally are as a guide for the other is enough.
How Human Design Projectors / Advisors Best Communicate for Maximum Efficiency
Next time you are about to be in interaction with others, give this a try. Let go of expectations, open up your awareness, listen quietly and wait for that recognition and invitation. You may feel your whole body light up with recognition in return through what you see and know. You may be amazed at what others sense and what they recognize in you because we Advisors have a hard time seeing ourselves accurately.
As clear communication is key to the achievement of success in guiding others, here are some helpful tips on communicating with the other career types. These are simple strategies that can help you elevate your ability to communicate effectively. Using these little tips to communicate correctly with each of the different career types can create better results both personally and professionally.
Manifestors - the Innovators
Innovators need to be kept informed of their impact. Generally, the thing that really interests them is, “How can I make my mark in the world?” What they really want is to operate in peace and get things moving into action. So keep the Innovators in your life informed of things that impact their ability to do their job, and if they are your boss, co-worker or partner, keep them informed of things they are responsible for that impact your ability to do your job. Experiment with what it feels like to wait for them to initiate you into conversation or action unless you have a relationship where they've given you an open invitation to approach them.
Generators - the Builders
Builders are designed to respond. When you ask Builders simple questions that are not multiple-choice, but a direct yes or no, you're going to get the most authentic answer from their guttural response. You might hear "Ah huh," for a yes or "Uhn ahh," for a no, or "Hmmm." If it's a, "Hmmm," it's either no for right now, or you may need to ask the question again in a slightly different way. Manifesting Generators /Express Builders are more articulate and tend to skip steps. Pure Generators/Classic Builders need a step by step process of activity. Reading the response of a Builder is the way to know if they have the energy to complete the task or not. See what it feels like to wait for them to approach you first, and be sure to ask them back to confirm they have a response towards what direction or action they want to take.
Projectors - the Advisors
With fellow Advisers, it's all about recognition and invitation. When you authentically recognize the skills, talents, and abilities of an Adviser, and invite them to share what they see, this is where they truly shine. You can gain profound insight and see things that you may have otherwise overlooked simply by recognizing and inviting the Advisers to share.
Reflectors - the Evaluators
For the Evaluator, initiate them by including them according to how you see them fitting into the big picture. Keep them apprised of what you see their role being because often they can lose track of what their role should be. Evaluators like to belong, be involved and included, and they are wonderful for displaying how things are going when they are at the center of the business.
How to Taste the Sweetness of the Human Design Projector’s / Advisor’s birthright, “Success”
As an Adviser, the signpost of being on track is the sweetness of success. That feeling of success happens most often in the simple act of by being recognized and invited. Nothing feels better to an Adviser than being recognized for our gifts, talents, ways of seeing things.
Being asked to share, lead, or guide within the system that we have mastered is one of the most wonderful sensations for us. Being recognized and invited is what truly allows an Adviser to shine. We are naturally designed to be seen and to encourage others.
When we can get out of our own way and not try to push or force things, we are typically highly visible and designed to be valued for our mastery of systems.
What does the Human Design Projector’s / Advisor's strategy of “Wait for Recognition and Invitation” feel like?
Here are some answers from Advisors in their own words:
“Recognition and invitation feels like relaxing into a space of deeply trusting... Trusting that when I have patience, when I show up in my light, the correct opportunities truly come to me. It’s taking time to shift into operating this way but it’s certainly much calmer and more gratifying.” Colleen Arneil, Mental Advisor, Listen to What You Say with Others
“It feels like being a kid on the playground, doing your own thing, then getting picked by someone you like to join their team in a game. ” Shaadi Oreyzi, Energy Advisor, Wait for Clarity“When it's working, it feels like home. Like I am centered, sturdy and purposeful.” Simone Outteridge, Classic Advisor, Instinctive Knowing
“It feels solid and powerful yet at the same time very natural and unforced, simple and clear.” Richard Seidman, Energy Advisor, Wait for Clarity
“I’m learning more and more about being in the right place. Invitations happen naturally then. Whenever I feel the energy shift, the invitations start flowing.” Julie Lynn, Energy Advisor, Wait for Clarity
”Strategy and Authority works because it make me feel seen, my voice is heard, I begin to flow at ease and effortlessly.” Rose Osman, Energy Advisor, Instinctive Knowing
”You can feel when the exchange is able to flow. Either a direct invitation to offer advice or a more subtle karmic energy flow.” Lisa Maree Akhurst, Mental Advisor, Listen to What You Say with Others
Two Helpful Human Design Projector / BG5 Advisor Keys for Maximum Success
All of us broadcast our energy in unique ways. Each one of us has a simple signpost that will immediately let us know if we are delivering static, or producing clear communication.
How do you know if you’re on the right track or not? How do you know if you’re off track? When it comes to using your energy correctly, owning your uniqueness, communication and what you’re broadcasting, an essential guidepost for each Career Type helps us know when we’re on track and when something’s off.
Human Design Projector / BG5 Advisor On-track: Success
How do you know if you’re transmitting static or clear communication? The simple answer is if you’re feeling seen and understood, you’re on track. Each Career Type has a signpost of how that consistently shows up. For us Advisors, we call this “Success.”
What does Success feel like? From the Advisor’s perspective:
“For a long time I used to think of success in terms of awards, money, accolades. But I’ve learnt that having those doesn’t necessarily mean feeling deeply fulfilled. For me there is truly nothing sweeter than seeing others have major breakthrough moments because of perspective I have offered in their journey and feeling their deep appreciation for it.” Colleen Arneil, Mental Advisor, Listen to What You Say with Others
“To me, it is when other people benefit from my insights and appreciate the skills that I bring to the table. Success becomes an internal reward and sense of accomplishment for helping others.” Shaadi Oreyzi, Energy Advisor, Wait for Clarity“When someone benefits from what I like to do most. And also when I feel seen, that others are sincerely interested in what I have to say or do. I can also feel success when I'm just having fun all by myself or when I find a simple solution to one of my 'problems.’” Saskia Baardman, Energy Advisor, Wait for Clarity
“Success to me is achieving the things I have set out to do while learning, testing, measuring and implementing changes rather than getting stuck on what's not working.” Simone Outteridge, Classic Advisor, Instinctive Knowing
“Being recognized gives me instant gratification and an overwhelming happiness. A free-flowing conversation that allows me to unfold and speak with my outer authority with ease and precision. To me, this is success. ” Lisa Maree Akhurst, Mental Advisor, Listen to What You Say with Others
“Success is when my voice is heard. It gives me a joyful stimulation and lightness that my presence and guidance is appreciated and matters.” Rose Osman, Energy Advisor, Instinctive Knowing
“Success is effortlessly having a positive, significant, recognizable effect on people and getting a reward for that, getting something of that back.” Tobias Inti Obermayr, Mental Advisor, Listen to What You Say with Others
Human Design Projector/ BG5 Advisor Off-track: Bitterness
If you sense you’re not being clearly heard or understood, that your words are falling on deaf ears or no one is seeing or appreciating your advice, you’re off-track. One of the gifts of knowing your Career Type is owning the signpost of being off-track. Bitterness is a signpost that you’re attempting to guide without a go-ahead from the other person or your decision-making strategy.
Advisors don't necessarily recognize that bitterness right away. When Advisors are deeply conditioned, they're lost in the land of frustration, trying to get all the doing done and burning themselves out. When we don't get recognized and acknowledged for our perspective, for what we know and how to make things better, we feel unseen, unvalued, unappreciated. When we are overlooked or left out, it leaves a bitter taste that's hard to swallow.
What does Bitterness show up like and when? From the Advisor’s perspective:
“Bitterness tends to show up as griping, complaining, negativity, and downright bitchiness. Sometimes it takes several days or even weeks for me to realize that I’m being a negative nelly about something and that’s when I realize that there isn’t a correct recognition in what I’m griping about and will take a look at what needs to change or if I just need to exit stage left and leave the situation all together.” Nathalie Marie-Collins, 2/4 Energy Advisor
“Bitterness at its most extreme feels like a bubbling cauldron full of resentment, annoyance and agitation that I’m not recognized or appreciated for what I have to offer. It also has a loneliness flavor to it ... that I’m not seen or understood for the genuine support I have to give.” Colleen Arneil, Mental Advisor, Listen to What You Say with Others
“Bitterness feels like a brick wall. Choked up and unable to speak. Loneliness, an internal reclusiveness, sadness and frustration.” Lisa Maree Akhurst, Mental Advisor, Listen to What You Say with Others“Bitterness for me is when I am not living by my true essence. When I do things my soul doesn't recognize as my purpose.” Petya Petrova, Classic Advisor, Instinctive Knowing
“Bitterness feels like I don't matter, that I'm not seen, that my contribution is ignored and doesn't count.” Simone Outteridge, Classic Advisor, Instinctive Knowing
“Bitterness is feeling like getting the short end of the stick. Win/lose instead of win/win.” Tobias Inti Obermayr, Mental Advisor, Listen to What You Say with Others“Bitterness to me has two different forms. The first was before I knew I was a Projector. I had no idea that bitterness was a direct result of not being invited. I would help others and often I would feel as if I was a vampire attempting to cross a threshold uninvited. I would be energetically repelled. Complaints, sadness and/or resentment were how my bitterness would present. Now that I am aware of what to look for, bitterness has a more off-putting, gut-wrenching feeling for me that is accompanied by full body nervous tension energy. When I recognize my mistake, the feeling eases up but still sticks around for a bit.” Sami Johnson, Energy Advisor, Wait for Clarity

Become a Patron!What's Your Human Design Fixed Star? Here's mine
There are no rules about what the limitation is to be a nine-centered being. There is no such thing. There isn't. It’s a mutation. When we think about the program, one of the dilemmas of dealing with the program all the time, because we are in it and of it, is that we begin to give it qualities that in essence it does not deserve. It's a perfect mutation. You have the birth of a star and its system that has a deep connectivity to other stars, that has the perfect positioning in terms of frequency of its satellites, that because of its relationship to these other stars there is a streaming of neutrino information that is perfectly diversified by the construct of the solar system itself. And it’s not because it was planned. And it's not because anything at any level could ever have expected it. It's what makes it so special. It makes us so special, we who are nothing but stars, because that is what we are. We are stars." Ra Uru Hu
What's Your Human Design Fixed Star?
Rave Psychology and Cosmology continually blown me away (as Human Design often has this effect on me). An easy way to assess someone’s design through the Design and Personality Nodes and see if the spirit could be broken (mine could and did).
I remember liking that feeling of being mind blown, and hopeful that I’d get clarity on how it could feel when I come to recognize what it all means in real life, through applying it in my Human Design teaching and consulting.
We as a Personality are connected to our Design through an interweaving of the energies between these nodes in our lives.
Human Design System’s Rave Cosmology “Nature of the Stars” is a fascinating journey. You can listen to Ra Uru Hu teach about the Fixed Stars on Jovian Archive here or go to any Rave Cosmology Teacher certified by the International Human Design school to get a fixed star analysis.
What are Fixed Stars?
“The fixed stars (Latin: stellae fixae) comprise the background of astronomical objects that appear to not move relative to each other in the night sky compared to the foreground of Solar System objects that do. Generally, the fixed stars are taken to include all stars other than the Sun. Nebulae and other deep-sky objects may also be counted among the fixed stars.
Exact delimitation of the term is complicated by the fact that no celestial objects are in fact fixed with respect to each other. Nonetheless, extrasolar objects move so slowly in the sky that the change in their relative positions is nearly imperceptible on typical human timescales, except to careful examination, and thus can be considered "fixed" for many purposes. Furthermore, distant stars and galaxies move even slower in the sky than comparatively closer ones.” Wikipedia
In Human Design, we are taught that 70% of the Neutrinos that imprint us at any one time is coming from our local star, the Sun. Because Jupiter is a failed star, it creates a smattering of Neutrinos - 3%. The remaining 27% comes from the stellar background field we live within.
We live in an illusion (Maia) that is built on labels (we pondered the details of this in today’s BG5 Live episode on Facebook). Our stars have stories, and each of us has our deep connection to this part of the spiritual and mystical lore that builds our reality. Neutrinos are a star product - Ra liked to call them the breath of stars. The neutrino ocean we live in is full of data streams that source from the heavens - this is the consciousness field. Awareness is what happens when we juxtapose the neutrino consciousness field with our own design, filtering it as Ra would say. We are programmed within a program looking at the program.
How do I find my fixed star in Human Design?
In Human Design this is related to your Design link node (your North Node or Future Direction).
1) Use Jovian Archive’s Maia Mechanics Imaging (there’s a free trial if you don’t have it yet) to find the exact position of your Design North Node. When your chart is open, look to the very far right under the info panel, towards the bottom right find the Design Data in the planetary panel. You're going to need to uncollapse the panels to see the data. Write down the calculations you find under your Design North Node.
2) Then google to find a "fixed stars" catalog like that one if this one I’m linking to doesn’t work.
3) Find the longitude and compare with the "fixed stars" catalog data. Now, find the nearest fixed star to the position of your Design North Node.
4) Then google the name of your fixed star, taking into account any other planetary activations that are conjunct and the descriptions written. You’ll see I quoted some information from what I found on mine below.

Here’s Ra Uru Hu on finding your Fixed Star:
”Okay, so you want to find your star. If you want to find your star the first thing that you have to do is that you've got to go to your design Link Node and you get the positioning of it exactly. Then as I said, just Google “fixed stars” and go find the star that you and a lot of others have. It’s such a different way of categorizing people. As a matter of fact, I think that it would be possible for us to create a kind of stellar catalog of—this goes back to Quarter by Quarter. Every single one of the quarters in the quarters all have a Godhead. They all have very deep associations; they all have chemical reference points.
There are all kinds of information that can be gleaned from this and to begin to see that we’re looking at a very, very vast influencing system in which there are literally for every nodal polarity you're going to have at either end instruments that are linking together generations. Not just the generational linkage, which is obvious in the way in which we understand Pluto and the outer planets, but a transgenerational linkage as well, because we are dealing with the Nodes. Every 18.6 years we’re going to have another generation that is going to have the potential of the design nodal 37.2, and we can end up with three or four of those generations alive at the same time. And all of them linked together through the same influence of one star.
It’s an interesting way of looking at how people are grouped instead of looking at them in terms of their Sun/Earth where so much of it is based. We are beginning to understand that we need to begin to look at the nodal configuration because the nodal configuration in and of itself gives us a whole new way in which we can look at the way in which beings are influenced.” Ra Uru Hu
Darshana and I found that my Fixed star is Alphecca (The Pearl) Alpha Coronae Borealis. It is a 2.2 magnitude star in the Northern Crown, the Corona Borealis Constellation, a brilliant white binary star located at the base of this Crown.
My Human Design Fixed Star
Corona Borealis Name and Meaning
Mythically, Corona Borealis represented the crown which was a present from Dionysus worn by Ariadne.
The Native Americans referred to the Corona Borealis as the “Camp Circle” – their celestial ancestors in the heavens.
In Celtic lore, it was known as Caer Arianrhod, or the “Castle of the Silver Circle”, home to the Lady Arianrhod.
Corona Borealis Constellation Astrology
“‘Constellation Corona Borealis the Northern Crown, is a northern constellation sitting above the head of the Serpent, constellation Serpens, between Bootes and Hercules. Corona Borealis spans 12 degrees of the Zodiac in the Sign Scorpio, and contains 2 named fixed stars.
CORONA BOREALIS. The Northern Crown.
Legend. Corona Borealis represents the garland given by Venus to Ariadne on the occasion of her marriage to Bacchus after she had been forsaken by Theseus.
Influence. According to Ptolemy it is like Venus and Mercury. It is said to give artistic ability, love of flowers, lassitude and disillusionment, but to bring its natives to a position of command. By the Kabalists it is associated with the Hebrew letter Daleth and the 4th Tarot Trump, “The Emperor”. [1] Fixed Stars and Constellations in Astrology, Vivian E. Robson, 1923, p.40.
The constellation is correlative with that which concerns the air and especially the weather and its effects on agriculture. It is generally a beneficial constellation. When in mutatine subsolar aspect the native will be fond of pleasure. When in matutine culmination, however, the native may prefer pleasure to the honors of life. If matutine setting, the constellation presages a propensity for pleasure that may even bring about disease, dishonor and imprisonment. [2] Fixed Stars and Judicial Astrology, George Noonan, 1990, p.10.
Corona Borealis, the Northern Crown … was the only stellar crown known to Eratosthenes and the early Greeks, but they called it Stephanos, a Wreath; and their successors, who had begun to locate the Southern Crown (Corona Australis), added to this title of the original the distinguishing protos; and beta Borelos to show its priority and its northern position. The Latins adopted the Greek name and adjectives in Corona borea, borealis, and septentrionalis; and further knew it as the Crown of Vulcan fashioned ex auro et indicis gemmis; or of Amphitrite, probably from its proximity in the sky to the Dolphin (Delphinus) associated with that goddess.” Astrology King
"Fixed star Alphecca is of the nature of Venus and Mercury. It gives honor, dignity and poetical and artistic ability.
Alphecca is one of the 15 Behenian Fixed Stars. Its image is a hen or crowned man. It gives chastity and the love and goodwill of men. Rules topaz, rosemary, trefoil and ivy. [Fixed Stars and Constellations in Astrology, Vivian E. Robson, 1923, p.131,232,242.]
Alphecca is noted for conveying honor, dignity and artistic ability. But like all Venusian stars it can also have its undesirable effects. Medieval astrologers, who tended to emphasize the more perverse side of astrology, asserted that Alphecca rising indicates a life spent in a variety of pleasurable pursuits by an individual who decked his body with adornments, secretly engaged in love affairs or adultery and who “bedded boys and girls” according to Firmicus Maternus. If the star is setting, disgrace will come of all this. [Fixed Stars and Judicial Astrology, George Noonan, 1990, p.10.]
These natives are an open channel to the spiritual plane continuously, and if they are unable to control it or use it incorrectly, they can find themselves confined to an institution. If these persons use drugs or heavy medications, insanity could be the result. This is the absolute highest spiritual vessel and it is totally spiritual. It can be used in a negative, or selfish way as they feel this spiritual power and use it for selfish reasons for the most part. Used in a positive way, they can simply walk around a group of people and tell each and every one exactly what they wish to know. They are extraordinarily psychic. [4. The Fixed Star Health and Behavior Imbalance, Ted George and Barbara Parker, 1985, p.92.]" Astrology King

”Choiceless, We Are”
Most beings really think that at some level we are in charge and we’re not. That at some level we’re responsible for the level of consciousness now, we’re not. That we are somehow responsible for cultures, we’re not. Choiceless we are. That sounded like Yoda. Choiceless we are that, yes. It's quite something. I find this positioning to be almost exhilarating, because it's really the key in understanding how something so basic in learning this knowledge, beginning to understand that it's a program, that you operate within a program, at every level you are controlled, at every level there are control mechanisms. And yet, not grasping that this vast cycle that we call a global cycle, this is the master control program. In fact, there are greater programs beyond it, but they're certainly not personalized to our solar system, this is the great control program for here. And it’s coming to an end. That's why Human Design is important, not about all the things about—yes things we can understand, there’s all that stuff. I won’t get into all that. What's important is the training. You’re equipped to live in a world now where there is no global planning as a background because you have a place where you can find your own authority. You have to understand that what we have is an era in which authority has been taken away and has been institutionalized. You all know that. All the authorities we deal with in the modern life have been institutionalized whether they are governments, the laws, the police, on and on and on, it has all been institutionalized, it's all maintained through institutions. All these institutions control life on the planet.” Ra Uru Hu
I remember being in Mount Shasta, California when I went through this Rave Cosmology course with Darshana. When she came to visit and stay with my daughter and I later that summer we all downloaded star apps and looked for our stars out under the bright galactic canopy at night. What I found utterly fascinating was of course looking up people’s fixed star (it was a bonus I did for my first Rave Cartography class I did online and in person in 2017), and the the rich history some of these stars have. Ra gave the mythology a mechanical basis in his teachings. If you look into it, I’d love to hear what you think about your fixed star! Personally, I really resonated with my star and it feels inspiring to be reminded on this eclipse day.
“Strategy and authority is one of those things, to align your Nodes, to align your life, to allow yourself to be a filter of the ocean, and yet at the same time to have the integrity of your own authority in all of that. I like it, these stars out there with their families, with their soldiers. I'm beginning to understand that everywhere we look, we’re controlled. It’s what I love about the knowledge. It's what it means for me. Human Design set me free. It’s set me free from authority. I was born a heretic. I was not born to bow down to anything. To be myself is to be free to be heretic, to live out the perfection of just what it is to be me and to only follow that, whatever that means, whatever the consequences. There’s nothing to do. I am not in charge.
It's only then do we begin to experience magic. I breathe it, in a sense. There is this passenger relaxation that I have that allows me to see so clearly that this process is something that is just so exquisite. Yeah, it’s all control, I know. But I don’t see the control mechanisms as the bad guys. I recognize that this is the way it works. And we get these little cracks, because they’re cracks, these cracks where you can just stick your head through and just peek and see, because there has to be that. There have to be those who are uncontrollable; otherwise, it wouldn’t work, and uncontrollable within the cosmic sense of the word. As a heretic I teach you, I encourage you to break the covenant with the program. This is my great work: break the covenant with program. Do not bow down; do not give authority to anything, to anyone, to any god….”
"Everything about what it is to be in the Maia, everything about life on this plane, the sum total of a life is made up by its decisions. It’s just about decisions. If you look at your life you’ll see very clearly that it’s basically decisions all along the road, wherever you turn. And yet, given the nature of being, given the fact that human beings are much more open than they are fixed, given that we are designed to interact with the conditioning field around us, and to be conditioned by those around us in order to be attracted to them, that it’s exceedingly difficult for us to even imagine what it’s like to make decisions as ourselves."Ra Uru Hu
New to the Human Design System? You Should Probably Give Up Now
Hi, this is Laveena. I’m updating this article I wrote for Jovian exactly 4 years ago, and specifically writing to those of you who are new to Human Design, yet deep into the Human Design Experiment, within your first 3.5 years.
Perhaps you’ve seen the not-self mind chatter with awareness, and in the beginning of recognizing your design’s conditioning, been horrified, or in awe, at how precisely Human Design can track your mind’s running commentary about the life experience you are in.
If you believe the story inside your head about yourself, you are identified with who you are not. If this is still the case, can I ask your conditioned mind a question?
Are you ready to Surrender?
Just give up right now.
As a 3/5 Profile; a "Martyr/Heretic" learning through inevitable mistakes, I found the yammering of mind can be very hard to ignore in the first half of my first 7 years. The “Not-Self” seems to take a long time to tame in the beginning. Not-Self is a term we use to describe deeply conditioned behaviors as a result of our response to the energies of others and the neutrino transit program we encounter every moment of every day.
Your not-self mind is so very powerful.
Without awareness, it's a nightmare that you don't even realize you are dreaming in.
And with awareness?
Well, sometimes it can be even more horrid to observe. Imagine realizing the dream you are in is a nightmare - and your eyes are wide open. While no matter what you do, you just can't seem to wake yourself up.
Please allow me to illustrate this point with a story wherein perhaps you can identify with what this is like. Would you like to hear about one of my biggest turning points?
I remember as a child growing up, I took every failure as proof that there was something wrong with me, perhaps missing or broken. Just a function of mechanics in my design (3rd line personality, undefined heart, head and sacral with 3rd lines as well).
In the middle of taking my first Human Design Class, Living Your Design the first time in 2013, I experienced my first profound “shattering” of the not-self mind. I broke down crying in grief when we got to the heart center. Because my tape-recording inside my head about myself was I can’t do anything right, nobody loves me, there’s something wrong with me and after that first release I could finally see the conditioning at play. Later I remember making a “mistake” in relationship with my boyfriend at the grocery store, where I found myself saying in desperation out loud - “I can’t do anything right.” All of a sudden my hand flew to cover my mouth, my eyes went wide open with shock, and I had the first conscious moment of realization in seeing my not-self mind at work! Now I knew exactly where it came from, and that it was absolutely NOT the truth.
Until you follow your Strategy and Authority in decision-making consistently, all the Human Design education you can handle does you no good. Until you live your Design, education means nothing. Until you "Just Do It" - which ironically in most cases begins with a strategy of waiting for life to come to you rather than initiating - you'll never get to live the uniqueness that you were designed to be.
Oh, I've seen this first-hand, how very hard it is to stay committed and focused on your experiment. "But... but... but; I want, I need, I have to; I should do this, I should do that; I’ve gotta make it happen, mine, mine, mine...." Good grief, how bossy our busy not-self mind can be! How can you not think, want, need, and be passionate about everything your mind thought you've always wanted or wanted to be??!
Only a very small percentage of the people who come to Human Design are likely to take it to the furthest extent possible. Ra said 4% of 4% of the population could live this. It is a fact that, even if you can’t live this knowledge, you can still benefit from increasing your awareness and using the tools to come to grips with the challenges you are living in this reality. It took me years to unravel the false belief system of something wrong with me that held me back from accepting, honoring and loving myself unconditionally.
Really, this knowledge is for children. To help parents guide their little ones to be empowered so that they can make decisions for themselves, as themselves. In the coming years, especially after 2027 when our background frequency shifts, you'll see how terribly important it is that this knowledge is passed along to our kids as soon as possible.
Whether or not you follow the original version of this knowledge as delivered by Ra and certified analysts; or if you get pulled into one of the offshoots of Human Design, or whatever else you find works for you.... either way, it's all ok. We all have our own “fractals” of people we are here for. And we are all here for certain others in our journey.
If you're an adult locked deep in the illusion of Maia (the mire of mind’s illusions!), likely you are someone who won't make it to full differentiation. If ever one had the chance to though, the fact that you are reading this tells me something about you - you’re on my fractal, and I know that’s where I’m heading. Who knows whether we will make it there? That’s really not the point.
When you wake up you realize that your path, your process, is perfect, exactly as we are. The joy is in the journey and the destination is NOT under our control. We get what we get, and it's all ok. Really.
Whether you end up living out your uniqueness and purpose in life, or simply reduce the suffering that comes from trying to be what you are not, you have “no choice” to change the design. All in all, your life can be positively impacted when you experiment with your Human Design.
Though, your mind may not like it. Nope, not one bit!
I'm not telling you all this to deter you from experimenting with Human Design or "trying to wake up" though trying really is futile. Yes, I do want to share that no matter how hard you may study or try, it won't help. Again, you get what you get, and it's all okay. You're not in control of any of that, and I hope to explain why in a bit.
I know that if you are new to design, likely your mind is going to compare your design to others. Your mind is very good at measuring - how does your design look or function compared to theirs? How long have they been experimenting with following their design compared to you?
Your conditioned mind likely will have design envy, wishing you had this or that channel, this or that center, this or that gate, this or that profile instead of the one you have. Your mind may immediately ask if there's anything that can be done to change your design, or - this one is common - how you can become a Manifestor (Innovator in BG5 terms) if you weren't born as one.
You're likely going to feel totally overwhelmed at first when you join the social networking groups, wondering what the heck 98% of the conversations are talking about most of the time.
All the while, as you learn about your design, something is whispering deep inside you; "This might be the solution. Human Design just might be the thing that helps me fix what must be wrong with me. Human Design just might help me get control of my life once and for all. Human Design just might help me become the person I always wanted to be."
Prepare for those expectations to be shattered in an unexpected way.
Website after website, you may find that you search the internet like a gold-crazed treasure hunter, looking for details on the Human Design system and reading all the books you can find.
Article after article, audio after audio, video after video, something becomes clearer and clearer the longer you immerse yourself in the words of Ra Uru Hu. The more you expose yourself to his frequency and that of the people you resonate with who share the spark of Human Design with the world, you watch the evidence mount to support one unbelievable concept.
Slowly, this one thing stands out, that when first came upon was laughed at and dismissed immediately... if it didn't turn you off to Human Design completely.
Two small, simple words that no one would believe if they didn't see the evidence day in and day out of the complete and absolute truth:
No Choice.
"No Choice, said the Voice," was the first time I'd seen those words in reply to one of my posts on social media. It flew in the face of something I'd been deeply conditioned to believe. And that was the concept of Free Will and all the related beliefs I'd attached to in the homogenized world.
What do you mean, no choice? I wondered. How on earth could that be possible?
Sometimes, something comes along that makes your whole world turn upside down.
Like when Pythagoras called the earth round when everyone accepted that our world was flat. Or a more recent discovery that light doesn’t always travel at the speed of light. Or when you come to Human Design and discover that we don't have free will. That free will, like everything else here on this plane, does not work the way we think it does and that your personality’s apparent control of your life experience is just an illusion.
When you come to Human Design, you don't tend to experiment with it unless you are committed to making a change. You may do it because you want something... something different. You may feel there must be more to life than suffering, and so you experiment, you observe, you study the world from this new perspective.
Sometimes, you can watch as your whole world seems to be falling apart at the seams (while wondering how it was possible to fall further from grace). How do you know what to trust when everything you'd spent a lifetime giving authority to before wasn't dependable for getting you where you wanted to be?
Life being a journey, not a destination... well, whatever happens, happens. Fate steps in and throws the monkey wrench in your plans. Sometimes things can be so confusing as you decondition that your mind may find it often wishes you had never, ever heard of Human Design. I’m serious! You can’t unlearn this stuff, because now you’re aware of your own mechanics. Oh, how powerful the not-self mind can be, arguing for it’s control over your life!
How can you let go of control of your life? By coming to the cellular realization that you never had it to begin with; that you are not here to be in control of anything outside of you. The realization that who you think you are not in control of anything inside of you, either. That all you as a conscious personality are here to do is... enjoy the ride your body takes you on and watch the movie of your life.
Most of us are trapped in a case of mis-identification with the conditioning of our mind. Ra calls this “gas of the brain” ie farts. Think about it. Like stomach gas, your mind is inconsistent, comes and goes based on what you’re digesting from life, it rumbles and grumbles inside of you, and when it takes action it often stinks!
Let's consider that we are all made up of vibrating matter. Each of us operating like tuning forks, each of us imprinted by the neutrino ocean with a certain Human Design, a "song" if you will. You are an orchestra that plays a symphony designed to be utterly unique.
Ra Uru Hu stated after his encounter with the Voice that the neutrino, a subatomic particle, had mass - that science later proved. The information imprinted within us by these neutrinos tells a detailed story describing the energy that imprinted us at two critical moments, showing up as definition in your Human Design bodygraph.
The definition created by this energy is what you can reliably trust to make decisions in life. Tuning into this energy by experimenting with your strategy and authority is at the core of your discovery of the benefit that Human Design can offer you.
See, all of us are deeply in the thrall of the "program" - the neutrino ocean flavored by the gates influencing us via the planets that those neutrinos flow through endlessly. Those neutrinos are bombarding our openness with what to feel, what to breathe, what to be.
Helpless in the sea of neutrinos which program us, we behave in ways that we aren't even aware of unless we know our design. We make mistakes and learn what we can dependably trust, that place within or the process it takes for us to rely upon when navigating the constant choices that are presented to us daily.
Yep, I said it. "Choices." And yet, who we think we are, truly has no choice.
Choiceless? You bet we are. Choiceless in the thrall of the transit field, the neutrino program, the illusion of the Maia; choiceless to live your design - either as true self or not-self or some varying combination of the two. We are all filtering the neutrino program, helplessly living and dying on the Stage of Life in the Play of the Program.
The beauty of Human Design is that it gives you a map of the forces at work within you. It offers a way to be true to the unique imprinting bestowed upon you by the program; the energy that is consistently and reliably at work within you determining your uniqueness.
What's the way? Strategy and Authority. It's all about decision-making. There's no need to take this on faith; try it for yourself and see.
Look, maybe you'll be someone like me, a 3rd line Profile, who constantly makes mistakes and falls. Hard. Flat on your face. Like a toddler just learning how to walk without holding onto things - who runs smack into the coffee table and shrieks in pain for the next half hour.
But, you know what? For many people it takes making those dang mistakes, sometimes over and over again, to figure out how to follow Strategy and Authority. To recognize the signposts that are there to guide you along your path. To know when it's best to wait and appreciate your life for what it is - not how your mind thinks it should be.
Sometimes the best lessons learned are "mistakes."
Here, take a deep breath and imagine you're on a loud movie set between takes. I want you to see the film crew, hear the actors talking and feel those hot lights they're all standing underneath. Smell the sweat from too many bodies together in a room. "Quiet on the set!" yells someone and a guy in black comes over in front of the camera. I want you to picture a movie clapper board, with "take three" written in chalk on it. "Miss-takes" that we make are often the best way to learn and are how we eventually get it right. Close your eyes a moment and let that sink in as you let go of trying to avoid mistakes.
Just knowing that we are not in control, that we can't help what we go through or how, can make all the difference in the world.
So what if maybe you won't "wake up" in the "enlightened-guru-sitting on-a-mountaintop-with-no-food-levitating-and-spouting-wise-crap" that people repeat endlessly from those who traveled far and wide to hear for themselves. Following your Strategy and Authority changes your perspective and, therefore, your experience of life and your life itself. Things can be way, way different and more correct for you than they are now. Your life is not about expectations or what you do. It's about experiences and who you be.
You aren't broken. There's nothing wrong with you. And that person you always thought you wanted to be?
Choiceless.
So tell your mind just to give up already. Do yourself and everyone around you a favor - let the body live its life.
