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 THE FIGHTER
Bodygraph position: The ROOT Centre
Quarter: The Quarter of Mutation - Purpose fulfilled through Transformation
Keynote: Opposition that does not transgress normal codes of behaviour.
Exalted: The value of discretion. The energy for the intuitive awareness for discretion.
Detriment: An over-politeness that is both servile and obviously superficial and defeats its very purpose. The energy for over-politeness in times of struggle.
* Here we see a fighter preparing for the fight. The head is bowed, indicative of the mustering up of an inner readiness to engage in sustained aggression and physical pain. The mouth is closed; the time for words is over. The gloves are together and are the focus of the eyes, for they will bear the brunt of being both the tools through which victory is gained and the barriers of protection for the ensuring onslaught of the opponents inevitable attacks. The depiction is black and white, and significantly dark to emphasise the fact that to fight for one’s own purpose one must be prepared to do so alone, and against almost overwhelming odds. To win or to lose the fight is not the point. To fight to one’s full potential with 100% effort, is to win no matter what the outcome may be. The most important battle is about being fully alive in standing up for oneself against any opponent. But a fight is always a gamble, and death, even though remote, remains a possible outcome. The first prerogative of any fighter is to overcome his own fear of death, and to have the necessary adrenal energy to do exactly that.
The Sun brings us the theme of opposition. It is an adrenalised energy empowering us to stand up for ourselves by any means possible. Whether it is ourselves opposing others in matters that concern us personally, or whether it is others showing us what they are prepared to fight for and what’s important for them, it is a time when opposition to interference may be more readily encountered.
Opposition can come in many forms. It can be a polite “No thank you” but with the emphasis on the “No”. It can be loud and aggressive with a surprising ferocity. It can be physical like a barrier or a punch in the face. It can be turning away from the invasiveness of the world, in order to endure in one’s own purpose, even though there may be no one else who perceives its worth but ourselves. It can even be an opposition that arises through a misunderstanding and the consequently inappropriate stubbornness to remain in opposition.
During this transit we can expect to be considering our own life’s purpose and try to glean what we are truly willing to fight for. Questions may arise about whether we are aligned or not to a sense of Individual purpose. There may be a longing to “get our teeth into” something we love, something so worthwhile to us that we may risk our current lifestyle for it. To find our unique purpose is to be deaf to anything that prevents us from going for it.
There may also be the deep melancholy of not having anything worthwhile to strive for. The desolation of knowing we have not yet found a medium for our true uniqueness to emerge. Instead there may be the awareness that we are wasting our best energy fighting for things that, although they may benefit others, are still not igniting the spark within us that makes our lives meaningful to ourselves.
The Sun’s influence is grounded in the 39th Gate of the Provocateur. This is the energy of button pushing! It provokes the fickle Individual emotional spirit to show itself, whether in tears or in delight. If the timing is out, then resistance is likely. The two frequencies of the 38 and 39 together can obviously be very powerful in stirring us up to connect with our existential truth and ourselves. As always, Strategy and Authority can dictate the correct timing, the right kind of provocation and the energy to fight for one’s unique purpose.
If you have the 28th Gate in your chart, then during this time the themes from the ‘Channel of Struggle’ come into play. You may find yourself more stubborn than usual, refusing to do what others deem more important for you to do and which disempower you in having to deal with them.
On the positive side, in being aware of what is of purpose for you in your life, this can be a time when you are able to really fight for that purpose, defy all the odds and get yourself free to be able to pursue a life that is truly worthwhile for you.
Beware of using this time for taking risky gambles and defying the resistance that comes to us when we go against our Strategy and Authority. If you have an Open Root, be especially watchful about allowing yourself to become over-aggressive or becoming overwhelmed with a sense that you must take a life or death stance over something that is much more mundane in reality.
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.
