Tuesday March 30th the Sun moves into Gate 21, THE TREASURER or CONTROL. In I-Ching, this hexagram is called BITING THROUGH.
“Incredible change happens in your life when you decide to take control of what you do have power over instead of craving control over what you don't.” ― Steve Maraboli Many suffer needlessly because of an attachment to the idea that to be in control of outside circumstances, or other people, is a guarantee of safety or getting what they desire. This particular brand of control is rooted in fear. In reality chaos and balance are cyclical characteristics of the same earth experience. Both are part and parcel to the same trip. While we'd like to prevent chaos it is not always possible. Often chaos is necessary to bring old, tired patterns to a close and make room for that which is more balanced and healthy. If we can learn to trust nature and her inherent wisdom, and our place in it, our suffering will lesson greatly. If what we want is true change it is important that we take stock of what we can control in our own lives. This is where powerful change can take place and the only medium of control effective and long standing in impacting our world and others in a positive way. In other words....it begins with us! This inside out approach is the most effective way to use what little control we do have with any kind of potency. It is also courageous and loving. I enjoy Richard Rudd's thoughts on what he calls Gene Key 21. Shadow-Control Gift- Authority Siddhi – Valor “Ultimately this Siddhi will be needed by all travellers into the beyond, because it takes Valour to die with an open heart. To give up our identity, our attachments, our body, and merge into the limitless light, requires the exquisite cocktail of courage and love.” – Richard Rudd, 64 Ways Each year the sun moves counterclockwise around the gates of the mandala (like the sun moves through the astrological signs), spending approximately 6 days in each gate. As the sun (or any other celestial body) moves through a gate it **“activates”**the energy of that gate. This means that the energy is released to “flow” to us. The sun is considered the most dominant and important transit to be aware of.) **Human Design is a synthesis of ancient and modern sciences; proven to be a valuable tool for human understanding.

Wednesday March 24th the Sun moves into Gate 17, OPINIONS. In the I-Ching this hexagram is called FOLLOWING.
“If you wish to see the truth, then hold no opinion for or against.”- Rajneesh Everything in this 3D reality is temporary and impermanent. Especially the information that we think we know now. Human beings have a tendency to become so attached to an opinion that when new information arrives it can be challenging to "shift gears", so to speak, due to the discomfort that results. This discomfort is called cognitive dissonance. Cognitive dissonance refers to a situation involving conflicting attitudes, beliefs or behaviors. Festinger's (1957) cognitive dissonance theory suggests that we have an inner drive to hold all our attitudes and behavior in harmony and avoid disharmony (or dissonance). This is known as the principle of cognitive consistency. There are positives about having opinions. Opinions open the door to discussion and discussion can result in understanding. Opinions, in and of themselves are not negative or positive. It's our clinging or attachment to them that can cause us, and others, pain and suffering. This week, as the Sun activates this gate, it might be very tempting to want to share your opinion. Try to keep in mind that opinions operate best when invited. Also keep in mind that what you might believe to be true today can change if new information is introduced. Look at the big picture. You might be surprised what you see. Be flexible and gracious to yourself and others. We are all learning and we all do that differently and at different rates. Richard Rudd's thoughts.... Gene Key 17 Shadow-Opinion Gift – Far-sightedness Siddhi – Omniscience “How can we harm another when we realize that they’re a part of us? How can we harm another when we’re feeling so good? The 17th Siddhi is part of the tradition of sudden awakening. When someone sees through their denial, it shatters them wide open to the core. This is St.Paul on the road to Damascus; this is a thunderbolt.” – Richard Rudd, 64 Ways Each year the sun moves counterclockwise around the gates of the mandala (like the sun moves through the astrological signs), spending approximately 6 days in each gate.

In the I-Ching this hexagram is called INNOCENCE.
I am going to speak from my heart. Before I even knew about Human Design or the I-Ching this gate called to me and I unknowingly resisted it. I fought so hard throughout life to maintain a sense of control and erroneously thought freedom was found there. It’s what was modeled for me and what all the various religions and philosophies I explored promised. They touted behavior modification, outward change, as key to not only finding freedom but also finding connection to Spirit. As it turns out I would find that attempting to control all the variables and outcomes in life is bondage. I think I had so much shadow around feeling out of control in my early life that I felt it was up to me to hold everything together. So I was, as many are, very subject to latching onto something external to bring about change that needed to happen on the inside. Then one day events occurred that brought a deep darkness with them and that darkness didn’t respond to any of the tools I had accumulated to maintain control or make sense of anything. I had followed directions and still everything came crumbling down. On that day I raised the white flag.I surrendered. I was done. I had nothing left to give. That was the day I died,or something that thought it was me did. That day began a journey, one I am still on, seeking answers from the Source within. I decided to question the narrative my mind had constructed and just allow. Allow people to be who they are. Allow things to be what they are. Allow people to fail. Allow things to fall apart because sometimes they needed to. Allow myself to feel it. All of it. And you know what happened? The sun came up the next morning and for the first time that I could remember in a long, long time I felt free! I felt peace! I am still learning. I am still growing. I don’t think as long as I am on this earth, in this time space reality, that will ever end. But that’s OK. I don’t have all the answers but I know where to look now. As always, I love what Richard Rudd says about what he calls Gene Key 25: Constriction – Shadow Acceptance – Gift Siddhi - Universal Love “Allowing is very powerful, because it begins with the physical. Whatever we’re experiencing in life – however hard – bring our awareness to our physicality, to the sensations and discomfort in our body. Never mind about our feelings or our thoughts. They’ll come later. We begin with the physical. We just allow our body to feel what it feels.” – Richard Rudd, 64 Ways Blessings!

In the I-Ching, this hexagram is called THE DARKENING OF THE LIGHT.
When I started exploring this gate this week it truly tugged at my heart strings. I don't have this gate active in my BodyGraph but I understand, deeply and in an experiential sense, what it is to begin an adventure or some sort of hopeful pursuit with the best of intentions, only to have it crumble before you. I understand how very difficult that is. I understand how hard it can be not to grow discouraged or disheartened. For a season it is important to feel all "the feels" and process emotion. Then there is a time to rise once again like the Phoenix from the Ashes. To remain open to new experiences, vulnerable and move forward isn't for the faint at heart. It takes courage and resilience. It is the 'Hero's Journey'. “Above all, be the heroine (or hero) of your life, not the victim.” ― Nora Ephron This coming week breathe deeply. Stay present. Remember you are human and so are others. Have compassion, first for yourself (you can't give what you don't have) and then others. And then begin again. You got this! Richard Rudd's thoughts.... Shadow-Turbulence Gift – Humanity Siddhi – Compassion “The 36th Gift doesn’t freeze. It doesn’t close down. It stays open. Wow. Do you know what that entails? Someone or something completely threatens to overwhelm us, and we stay open. Our heart may recoil for a few moments, but we breathe deeply into our chest, anchor yourself in the belly, and look the experience right in the eye.” – Richard Rudd, 64 Ways Blessings to you!

In the I-Ching this hexagram is called GRACE.
Reverence is a feeling or attitude of deep respect tinged with awe. What if we all revered one another? What if our admiration wasn't simply for celebrities, the wealthy or high achievers? What if we revered one another simply because life is, in and of itself, miraculous and deserving of reverence. “The reverence for life is love that binds all living beings.” ― Lailah Gifty Akita A reverent person is a creative person. They can often see beauty where others might not notice it. They have the ability to cultivate what they see and bring it in it's fullest expression. This energy, when channeled correctly, can transform the world! This gate can be part of the emotional wave of the emotionally defined person. As much as this gate can be creative and transformational it can also express as moodiness or melancholy. In this coming week, if you find yourself experiencing highs and lows, simply observe them as opposed to identifying with them. Then channel this energy to create and transform! As always I enjoy what Richard Rudd has to say about what he calls Gene Key 22.... Shadow- Dishonor Gift – Graciousness Siddhi – Grace “Graciousness isn’t just politeness or courtesy, although it may contain both of these qualities. It’s a whole cocktail of noble qualities. It’s also very refined and often very subtle. It’s an attitude carried in our aura, and it’s rooted in a deep reverence for all life.” – Richard Rudd, 64 Ways Each year the sun moves counterclockwise around the gates of the mandala (like the sun moves through the astrological signs), spending approximately 6 days in each gate.
