Lunar Influences

Monday ~ Aries – focus on getting things done today and avoid impulsive behavior and conflict with others. Although leadership is appreciated, respect boundaries and offer support when asked.

Wisdom from the I Ching
Human Design involves the blending of the planetary positions with the I Ching. The I Ching consists of sixty-four guas (hexagrams), each one containing six lines with their own specific message. You can see from the above Rave Mandela how the hexagrams or guas are arranged around the chart with the bodygram in the center.
Most planets, particularly the outer planets as well as the Sun, remain in roughly the same place, changing only their line numbers throughout the week. The Moon, however, changes both its Gate and Line number daily. In addition, as planets move, energetic channels may form between the gates and when they do, I’ll include them because they can provide underlying supportive energies which may be helpful. And for this week, we have several Channels active with the Channel of Awareness active all week.
17 May 2020 ~ The Channel of Awareness (Gates 61, 24) is active all week suggesting balancing the impulse to overcome limitation with the greater understanding and acceptance of its impact. As we continue to deal with the phony in the White House (Sun 8.3) and his superficial (nonexistent) regard for a positive outcome to the pandemic, many of us are reaching out in service to others (Earth 14.3) in full resistance (Moon 36.1) to persevere in the face of presidential opposition.
As the presidential grinch (Mercury 16.5) refuses to do his job and protect the country, and while more in the administration feign innocence (Mars 55.3) and lie to the people, true leadership (Venus 45.5) is expressed by governors and ordinary individuals ensuring our very survival.
The design of a thinker, the Channel of Awareness aligns with Jupiter at Gate 60.1 Acceptance as we understand the greater purpose involved, modify our behavior with a sensitivity toward others (Neptune 22.4), and go forward in shared purpose toward our ultimate goal.
18 May 2020 ~ as we continue to deal with the pandemic, the Channel of Awareness continues to inform our path. Express respect for the accomplishments and efforts of others (Sun 8.4) who put their lives on the line for all by staying the course as we stay apart from others unless protected. Keep at least six feet apart and together we can get beyond the virus.
The federal government’s lack of creativity and vision (Mercury 35.3 creative block) prompts their willingness to ignore the human struggle before them (Mars 55.4 assimilation). Although others may choose a less-safe approach, the discrimination we exert (Moon 14.4) will pay off in the long run even as our choices isolate us from those who disagree. In the long run, those individuals who opt for protection and security create a strong foundation for healing to take hold (Earth 14.4).
19 May 2020 ~ Arrogance is experienced today (Moon 14.5) as the federal government continues its failed response to the virus. Instead of supporting the existing pandemic playbook, the president’s hunger for control and his own perception of success (Mercury 35.4) has narrowed his vision to the point that the American people have become an afterthought to his desire for businesses to reopen.
Had he embraced the message provided by the Channel of Awareness, instead of allowing arrogance to determine when businesses reopen, he might have expressed some Dharma (Sun 8.5), delegating the pandemic response to experienced staff instead of an unqualified and unprepared son-in-law. But then, that would suggest inner growth is possible (Mars 55.5) when clearly that’s not happening any time soon.
20 May 2020 ~ In addition to the Channel of Awareness, the Channel of Mutation (Gates 60, 3) becomes active today suggesting the energy for initiation is present. Interacting with the Sun at Gate 8.6 communion, we understand that living in harmony with others is our greatest foundation. Plus, we know from the Mercury at 35.5 altruism that strength manifests in our sacrifice for others now as we continue to either stay safe or heal from the virus.
We embrace growth supplied by Mars (55.5) as we take the counsel of the scientists and those on the front lines and make the changes necessary, including how and with whom we associate, to protect our collective survival (Moon 3.3).
Lastly, with the North and South Nodes of the Moon at 15.2 (influence) and 10.2 (the hermit), we know the path forward also incorporates retreat, but we’re savvy enough to know that staying apart and protected is the best measure we really have for a healthy outcome.
21 May 2020 ~ Although the Channel of Mutation is no longer active, three more energetic Channels open alongside the Channel of Awareness today: the Channels of Awakening (Gates 20, 10), Charisma (Gates 10, 34), and Exploration (Gates 10, 34) suggesting a commitment to higher principles and the ability to express that commitment in our daily lives.
While the resident bully in the White House continues to express an indiscriminate use of power on the country to undermine our survival (Earth 34.4), his superficiality (Sun 21.1) and selfishness (Mars 55.6) masks his growing fear of losing the election in November.
But as many in the country continue to stay apart and protected (Moon 24.4 the hermit) until a vaccine or other therapeutics are developed, we welcome information that helps us determine where and how we can loosen those restrictions (Mercury at 45.1 canvassing) so that the decision is not predicated upon the delusional thinking of a sitting president. This way, we go forward in a shared direction (Venus 45.4) and not destroy the ground we’ve gained.
22 May 2020 ~ with the same four energetic Channels active again present today, a shift may occur with others who, to date, haven’t yet committed to a shared understanding of the safest path through the pandemic. Although some resist the information shared by the scientists and first responders (Sun 20.2 the dogmatist) and refuse to follow guidelines for social distancing and other precautions, as they witness the consequences of that perspective play out before them, attitudes are beginning to shift and the assimilation of a new set of shared values may begin to take place (Moon 23.5).
Momentum may be building (Earth 34.2), however, as more and more people see the value of staying the course and any exclusion experienced by others may prompt a change in attitude (Mercury 45.3) fostered by those who quietly move forward in shared purpose with others (Mars 37.1 the Mother/Father).
Sensitivity toward self and others (Neptune 22.4) will likely be the norm going forward arising from the battle between delusional thinking and collective awareness (Pluto 65.1 influence).
23 May 2020 ~ as we end another week, the energetic channels guiding us have been founded primarily on self-awareness and the Sun at Gate 20.3 reinforces that by illuminating the pathway to self-analysis and realization. As we reject the machismo of the president (Earth 34.3), in an almost parent-like fashion (Mars 37.1 the Mother/Father) leaders (Mercury 45.5) continue to emerge who gather the facts and disseminate them to the collective, organizing group behavior into positive action that reflects higher principles (Venus 45.6).
In the end, it will be the wisdom to establish societal patterns that are both understood and applied to all (Moon 20.6) that will see us through this crisis.
Blessings to all!
