Influences of Alignment or Derailment – 11 January 2016
Monday, 11 January 2016
In Monday’s transits, a new Channel emerges. Gate 33 (privacy) Personality Uranus – Line 4 connects Transiting Moon with Gate 13 (the listener) at Line 1 – empathy, creating the Channel of the Prodigal (33/13), the design of the witness. The Sun, Earth and Moon are the other new transits for Monday. The Channel of Transitoriness (35/36) continues its restless influence.
On the New Moon, we also saw occult influences in play. Now it’s the Sun that transits at Gate 61 (mystery) Line 1 – occult. Karen Curry writes:
Gate 61 is the initiating sequence to mutative thinking and has the task of transmitting its knowingness without the benefit of logic. Gate 61 knows, period. The end. And if you try to get Gate 61 to explain how it knows, you’re missing the point. Gate 61 reaches out to know the unknowable. It contains the energy for discovering or thinking about mystery and even the occult. But without an invitation to express what it knows, we just think it is a bit strange.
The madness of Gate 61 is rooted in the desire to know why and the need to wait for clarity. The knowingness of this gate can often run ahead of itself, knowing what’s ahead without knowing the pieces in between. It can skip steps and move to a bigger awareness without acknowledging the places in between that could tie it all together. Gate 61 has to wait to know more, and if they are not honoring the invitation of life to simply enjoy thinking in the meantime, they can go crazy trying to understand more.
Gate 61 has to wait for right timing to know whether what they know is of value.¹
The Channel of Awareness – Channel 61/24 – is active in my natal chart. Expansive awareness, clarity of knowing allows me to move through the influence of transiting Earth at Gate 62 – details, Line 1 – routine while still allowing inspiration to flow. But again, timing is important, and waiting to respond is key for this Generator personality.
The Channel of the Prodigal (33/13) reflects energies of the witness, the listener and the understanding that privacy should be both protected and respected. This quality is accentuated and supported by empathy influenced by Transiting Moon at Gate 13 – the listener, Line 1 – empathy.
As an empath, the information that Human Design gives me is so helpful. Strategy is everything, from how I get through the grocery store emotionally intact to participating in relationships in a way that doesn’t leave me feeling completely drained. So in a sense, I have to figure out how to stay the observer or witness and not let everything I encounter derail my alignment.
Understanding how I can move through each day, asserting my strengths instead of my weakness for drama can be found in both the natal bodygram and daily planetary transits. It’s not that standard astrology isn’t helpful, because it is. But Human Design gives me information that involves energy flow, and resonates for me in a way that traditional astrology doesn’t.
For the empath, staying aligned is so essential so that we make the best use of our energy. Otherwise, life becomes difficult to manage. Staying aligned in Self allows empathy to flow without getting stuck in another’s issues. And for this empath, it’s a really nice place to be.
