The ‘Daily Impact’ interpretation reflects the impact of the Sun and Earth (70% of the neutrino influence) on what happens in the world as time moves us through the Gates and Lines of the Human Design wheel.
What is offered here is a general frame to the day, especially in terms of external conditioning and potential identification with the power of the Sun’s influence through a particular Gate theme. Also consider what is written about the grounding effect of the Gate in the Earth position of the day. Take note of the Line of the day and think about the quality of the Line and the Rave I Ching cryptic sentence. And, of course, pay attention to any Channels that may be formed on the day, as that Life Force will most certainly be relevant to whatever happens.
For those of you who are more familiar with the Gates and Channels, pay attention to the chart of the day which shows us the detail of the day’s imprint. Look for Gates that may join a ‘hanging’ Gate in your chart, notice the planetary accent it has and ponder upon its relevance to your day. Above all else, ‘The Daily Impact’ is a tool to assist subscribers to witness themselves living their life within ‘The Program’ and becoming more aware by observing the themes unfold.
Keynote: THE GATE OF SELF-EXPRESSION
Bodygraph position: The G Centre
Quarter: The Quarter of Mutation - Purpose fulfilled through Transformation
Exalted: Venus exalted as a symbol of beauty. The required harmony between established values and ideals that enriches inspiration. Self-expression conditioned by ideals and values.
Detriment: Desires and passions have their place but not at the expense of Creation. Self-expression limited by desires and passions.
* The colourful splash of paint providing a unique display that is bursting with creativity. The Human Design Wheel in the illustration shows this Gate to be in the Quarter of Mutation - the theme of which is transformation.
With Gate 1 in the Sun’s position, you will feel the need to express yourself in your own way, without interference from others.
However, bear in mind that everyone doesn’t always appreciate individual expression. Those who don’t ‘get it’ can perceive it as quirky, ‘crazy’ or simply stupid. You can also express yourself at the perfect time to draw the attention of others to something you perceive as beautiful or especially unique.
With so many people competing in the ‘Not-Self’ conditioned world trying to be ‘the best’ please understand that this is about difference, not about expressing ‘the best’. It is the appreciation of difference that simply happens! You may get to experience this mutative leap into some new expressive way in yourself, in others and in what’s around you during this transit. And remember that sometimes ‘difference’ can be perceived as eccentricity or just being awkward.
The Hexagram in Gate 1 consists of all ‘Yang’ Lines, so there is a force of unique expression in this transit that just emerges and will not be denied.
Primarily this is about a different direction. So, you may encounter some new and interesting thing, person or project that you love that opens a new direction for you or those around you. When Gate 1 is in Lines 1,2 and 3 the unique direction may not be something you can see, but in Lines 4,5 and 6 it is much more apparent.
There is also an inherent melancholy with this impact. If this is the case it could be the sadness you may experience at the lack of creativity and true self-expression around you, and perhaps the lack of appreciation from others about your own unique expressions.
Despite the strength inherent in the 6 x ‘Yang’ Lines, Gate 1 is not about forcing self- expression. It is something that emerges. Ra often spoke of humans being receptive beings through which the creative moves. Knowing this, personal vanity is replaced by immense gratitude and the conduit for beauty opens wider. You can see that the 1st Gate is grounded in the 2nd Gate, which is totally receptive, with all Yin Lines. So, allow your unique self-expression to emerge from within and show itself. Notice any blocks to this expression and use this time productively to recognise what is truly different about you and cherish it.
If you only have Gate 8 (but not Gate 1) in your chart during this transit: Gate 1 looks to the 8th Gate. This could be considered to be the relationship between the ‘Artist’ (Gate1) and the ‘Agent’ (Gate 8). So, if you already have Gate 8, this transit may bring some new artist or artistic endeavour that is attractive to you because of its uniqueness. Perhaps it is a time when you can see how to add more beauty to your life or work. Beauty is ‘in the eyes of the beholder’ it is primarily an inner recognition. Of course, in Lines 4,5 and 6 it is more likely that whatever beauty or quirkiness that might emerge during this transit can be appreciated by many more people.
The two Gates linking, (your 8th Gate and the transiting 1st Gate) brings the possibility of being able to present the value of something different, to the collective. Remember that whenever we are encountering Individual Gates, timing is always the key. Waiting for the right time to communicate something new; waiting for the ‘muse’ to make its appearance at the key moment.
This is the Line of the ‘Hermit’. So this may well be a day when we would rather be alone and in our own self-motivation. It may be a day of ‘pottering’ doing a little bit of one thing and then naturally moving onto something else and the whole day can go by quickly.
The 2nd Line carries with it the tendency to be unaware and naïve. So it may be a day when ‘the rug gets pulled out from under us’. Or, more simply put, a day when we can have encounters we never planned or expected.
The 2nd Line is also known as the Line of the ‘Natural’. So this can be a time when there can be a smoothness in displaying certain natural gifts we may possess, due to the Resonance (2nd Line Gates) or Harmonies (5th Line Gates) in our Design.
The 2nd Line also has a youthful connotation to it, so today may be a time when we are conditioned to be more playful. Notice in children the astonishing natural gift they have of moving rapidly from being upset one minute to laughing and forgetting about the upset the next. The fluidity of this natural influence can make work become a playful experience.
There is also the possibility of wanting to be naturally ‘open’ to others, like a child interested in new people or, as in accordance with the hermit theme, it can be a day of closing off to others, bringing the drawbridge up and preferring to spend time in your own space.
The 2nd Line has a reputation for saying, “I just can’t be bothered!” This is partly because of the self-motivated aspect of the Line. It is also because others can see into the 2nd Line gifts that we may possess in our Design, but we don’t know it. So people may repeatedly be telling us we’re brilliant at this or that and we just don’t want to know because we don’t think it’s anything special, or we don’t feel called to look at it at that time.
There is also the theme of being shy or bold. So we may want to avoid the ‘limelight’ or we may seek it out because of a mission we’re on at the moment.
The theme of being ‘called’ is inherent to today. 2nd Lines are basically ‘waiting for the call’. So there is also the possibility that we will be invited or shown or encounter something today that really ‘floats our boat’, and sets us in a new direction for which we are ideally suited.
Remember this 2nd Line theme is the transit of today. Just because it is affecting us doesn’t mean we should automatically follow ‘the call’, or hermit ourselves away. Our decisions lead to the kind of life we live. Decisions that are correct, according to Human Design, come from living by one’s Strategy and Authority.
Get to know the themes of the Lines as they come by as regular cycles throughout the weeks and months. As you track them, even occasionally, you will become more and more aware of the Program within which we live. Don’t let the conditioning of the day take you away from following your Strategy and Authority. Just look deeper into what is happening to you and around you.
Take this transit as an opportunity to see these themes occur within and around you. As you see them you will then have the opportunity to consider that you yourself may indeed be a pattern in a larger Program, as described by The Human Design System. If you can verify the truth of the transiting Gates in your life today, then I trust it will remind you to come back to following your Strategy and Authority - for that is the way to play the game. It is the way to wake up mechanically and experience what it is like to flow along in your life as yourself, without the resistance that comes from trying to live a conditioned life in a ‘Not-self’ world.
As we notice the daily impact upon our own Human Design imprint during the day, we naturally grow in our awareness of ourselves and the adventure of what it is to be alive in a world that is constantly conditioning us.
Those who are Reflectors can align to the daily transit, paying particular attention to the drive of the Moon. The rest of us, Manifestors, Generators and Projectors are here to resist the conditioning in terms of our decision-making and learn from it to increase our wisdom.
UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) is a time standard based on Earth's rotation. It is a modern continuation of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), i.e., the mean solar time on the Prime Meridian at Greenwich, England. Check the time in your location against UT to calculate precisely when this transit will impact you. For instance, if you live in New York you will be 5 hours behind UT.
