The black represents a personality signiture at the time of birth, which we will have access to thru our lives. Its that which we are able to consciously use in ourselves; a part of ourselves we can rely on. The red represents the time in our human design that the soul entered the body. This happens approximately 90 days before birth. This red operates unconsciouly in us; a part of us that impacts us in a way we cannot determine or access at will, thru out our lives.

The black in the bodygraph indicates what we are
familiar with, our personality. It is what is
conscious; what we have access to, who we think we
are; what we associate with.
The red in the bodygraph, on the other hand,
called our design is what is unconscious. It is
hidden from us; a part of us we're not familiar with
and don't have access to.
Neither can be changed but we can change our
perspective on who we are. It's important to know
this when looking at a chart so one can point out how
different the red and black are from one another, the
way they work, how they impact the client and how the
client may experience that difference.

My conscious Sun and Earth are both on a first line and define the Channel of Structuring, which suggests the depth needed for stable foundations. The inherent harmony between the first and fourth lines of the hexagram can help to balance the tension with my unconscious Sun and Earth both on a fourth line resonating with the theme of externalisation. As these seek to move outwards there is the need for the support that the lower trigram can lay down.

So many subtle interrelationships revealed by the lines and ways they can open awareness to living the not-self. Listening to Ra brought a little more acceptance by revealing how seven gates in line 5’s can mirror some of my experiences as a projector with a wariness around expressing opinions. Very slow here with Mercury and Saturn in the same gate but some amazing insights.

I found it interesting that although there is this introspection and learning from my life experiences (learning not to call them mistakes), that there is so much of a drive to externalize that which I have learned. Significantly to share with those close to me. Learning I have to 'get it' myself first before offering to others. I see now that that's how I'm wired and previously living the not self, had it backwards. Good riddance to the drive to 'fix' the world and everyone in it that drove me for so long. What a cosmic joke that we actually do that just not in that order!

So I thought it would be interesting to see which gates/behaviours were carrying the line energy and themes. I made a heading by line # and listed and researched those that applied. There were a lot of acknowledgements and awareness of understanding my behaviors at a deeper level. Although with a completely open throat center, deep awareness is not always easily expressed. Recognizing that what I express can be influenced by my emotional wave, I find I need a lot of patience where I can take my time to express since speaking my opinions/feelings are always subject to change due to new insights, as well as if I was aware I was speaking of others opinions (open head) :).

So it was a really profound exercise to do this. I was able to see the focus of the line energies and themes within the gates sharing the same lines and more deeply understand the sense or flavor of the lines as it pertains to my own experience as well as in teaching and explaining to others.

Very cool. Thanks so much Lynda for making this program available to us. I have found deeper understanding for myself while learning this for others. Thanks for the continued opportunity. :)

I have the 3 in my design – and by studying this material and learning what it means to have this in my design, I have experienced a great sense of relief. I have always been one to have many experiences, and I have always been one to have many experiences that while I would not call them “mistakes,” deep down there may have been a sense of shame. By learning that my design is to experiment, to fall down, to discover – that this is perfectly natural for me – this has released the sense of shame and the equally powerful fear that I could be making a mistake… There are no mistakes for me…

CHARISMA 20-34
An Integration Channel, the keynote is individuation. There can be an energy of being selfish, self absorbed or self centered and often not concerned about how you impact others. This is healthy and not to feel guilty about this as this energy is there to ensure our individual survival. You are to display self love by putting yourself first. You will thrive by simply following your own path without concern. (Should there be activation in the Channel of Struggle, gates 28 or 38, then you can have the ability to impact the other.) Back to the Channel of Charisma, this is a design where thoughts become deeds. The only pure manifesting generator channel. The healthiest thing is for you to be busy in life, but busy with things from a positive sacral response, things that you love, otherwise you will be busy, busy with things that are not for you and can wear yourself out. It may be difficult to wait for the response because you can be up and moving before you know it. You don’t like to be told what to do, you are true individual.

I'm a 2/4 Manifesting Generator.
I have been reading, asking, researching and studying on Human Design since my own reading on Sep/03... I've read even when I didn't understand what I was reading, knowing that at some point, everything would fall into place gradually.

It has been a wonderful journey. I never payed much attention to lines until I began this course. I noticed the flavor they add to the gate and the planet where the gate is. I have not only fallen in love with my design but with every design I encounter. I have a deeper appreciation of myself and everyone around me.

I have most of my gates in the upper trigram and very few on the lower trigram. Nonetheless, having a 2 in my Personality Sun and Earth, I am very much a hermit. I see now why I go about the things I do trying not to be disturbed (I spend many hours a week "hiding @ home") and people are always asking me questions thinking I know the answers... So I do, don't know how, I just do.

I have 9 gates on a 4th line including my design Sun & Earth... So I guess even at an unconscious level I do influence others by doing my thing. If I see my HD chart from a 3rd party perspective, I can see the influence it can have when it "gets out there", out of the cave... Responding to the right oportunities.

I am still a bit green on lines... As I go through charts and my notes, They will come naturally.

I need to see more of me in here, so that I can se more of "others"...

This has been a marvelous experience: The ON-LINE Classroom, Technical Support, My Classmates; and an awesome Teacher... I look forward to more DEPTH & UNDERSTANDING.

Well, I think I finally understnd what having a 1/3 profile means.

With a 1 on the personality side, this means I am introspective and wanting to study and fully understand something before going forward or outward with it. I need to figure out how to do things. Aloofness is a descriptive characteristic of 1 and I wish I had a dollar for every time I've been castigated for being 'aloof', particularly since I have individual circuitry. I have black 1's in gates 44, 24 and 35. I have red 1's in gates 62 and 12. This means I'm going to be trying to consciously figure out how to be alert to patterns and instinctive memory: to find a way to communicate my unique insight and to focus on not being goal oriented.
Unconsciously, I will be trying to figure out the detail of how things should be organized and how to be about not-doing. Interesting to me is that gate 62 is connected to the thyroid. I was irradiated as a newborn for weeping eczma and asthma. Consequently, the rest of my life has been dealing with thyroid and parathyroid cancer and malfunctioning thyroid as a result of that medical treatment -- an interesting comment on metamorphasis.

With a 3 on the design side, I will be learning my life lessons through trial and error, making mistakes along the way and, it is hoped, something great will emerge from my mistakes. I have black 3's in gates 4 and 48 with red 3's in gates 33, 19, and 12. This means that consciously my trial and error learning will most occur in the areas of applying myself to the task instead of just coasting and in expression of vital information that I have. It's always been a shock to me when I've had to really study something so that makes sense. Unconsciously, I will be adapting through trial an error in the area of sharing my experiences (discernment? - not my strongest area when applied to myself), in being overly sensitive and disturbed (Amen!), and again in the area of not-doing. Just being is very hard for me.

I also have many 5's in black gates 23, 43 (twice) and red gates 33 and 18. Since 5's are about universalizaton, what everyone projects the meaning of that gate to be, they can be opportunities to either succeed or fail in that projection. This affects me in the conscious areas of eliminating intolerance and turning my inner knowing into true insight. Unconsciously I have opportunities to succeed or fail in the areas of sharing experiences/ privacy and dealing with my conditioning. This last one in a constant experience and it is confusing. Is surpassing my conditioning a success or a failure?

I have the most lines in 6 which is transitional, focused on the circuit not the gate only. They are more individual than collective and more collective than tribal. 6's see the big picture with an eagle-eye view of the future, with the downside of missing what is right in front of them and not appreciating what they have now. The black is in gate 1 where I consciously deal with expressing myself. The red lines are in gates 49, 8, 14, 56, 1, and 33. So unconsciously I am seeing what and whom is or is not needed for the good of the community; my individual contributions to the whole; knowing the direction to go; being a seeker; expressing myself and sharing experiences. The 6's, in being on the roof of the house/ hexagram are not so much about that particular hexagram as they are about the transition to the next hexagram where what they need to know next is in line 1. So I would be next wanting to know about patience in structuring, composure, superficiality, bullys, manifestation and authoritarianism. I have to say that I feel the most resonance with the 3's and the 6's.

10-57 -- technically isn't part of a circuitry. Known as an integration channel. My daughter has this and the 10 is unconscious; the 57 conscious. Gate 10 is all about personal survival, the potential behavior of self -- guided by intuition of the splenic awareness. She may, with the 57 as conscious, be aware of her commitment to herself, her love of living and being alive. She can penetrate the core in the now if she pays attention and transforms the trial and error of the struggles she experiences. Pay attention to your gut whether it's an immediate yes or no -- it's yours and right for you.

30-41 -- The channel of recognition, a design of focused energy. This channel is in the sensing or abstract subcircuit of the collective circuit. This appears in my chart. The 30th gate is conscious so I may be ware of a thirst for destiny or hunger for change. Seated in the solar plexus, the invitation is to wait out the emotional wave (with patience) from pain to hope and ultimately leave the outcome to the universe -- no forcing outcomes. The companion gate 41, in the root, is unconscious in my chart. I'm guessing this could mean that I won't always be aware of the desire or pressure I'm feeling to be recognized? Would welcome your feedback.

Wow...what did I get from this part of the homework?......where to start....so much. I am confusing the issue slightly here as I am focusing on my Chiron reading rather than my birth chart.

I have it in the personality side of my design to create a strong foundation for taking people from understanding to the application of how to be in the moment, how to be in the flow of the rythmn of life.

The hermit in me knows this but is shy to share with others. I am comfortable sharing my awareness around direction and empowerment with people near to me through the fourth line. Universalisation comes into play with the gate 20, the Gate of the Now. I have become aware of avoiding this one and looking beyond it for THE thing that I am here for. Focusing on being in the body, being in the moment is such an obvious concept for me, I tend to see through it.

On the unconscious level, there is a some study lines with a lot of trial and error and then univeralisation. It seems that the study is around having a foundation understanding of what it takes to connect with and express our needs in the now in a way that is provovative yet non confrontational to others. There is some trial and error around how to get that out and with whom to colloborate. The universalisation part is about my overcoming my own lack of confidence in getting over the message that any significant changes need direction, focus and committment. There is a great deal in my design of needing to BE what I present to other, of walking my talk. The lack of confidence and lack of connection with my having any to offer appears to be the key issue for me to work with.

The other thing that I got from all of this is that with the 5/2 profile and the tendancy to be the hermit, my actualisation is down to me. I do not get a calling from outside, I am dependant on calling myself. I got the depth of the challenge in that and the constant draw to retreat.

I could go on but I won't....enough.
Wonderful exercise. I learnt such a lot of valuable insights.

This channel 19/49 is a disign of sensitivity--this means being sensitive to balancing your own needs with the needs of the other and the group. You are very much in tune with wo belongs to the group, and how much everyone is dependant on each other. You want to be supported and to give support. The most important thing is to wait to be invited, when others have recognized you.

34/20 The Channel Of Charisma ~~ Intregration Channel
This is a design where Thoughts must become Deeds. I have this channel and I notice that the healtiest response for me is to be busy doing exactly what I love to do. In this way I can/do empower others. I notice that when I am busy it helps me to integrate the awareness I constantly receive. It is very important to constantly be responding to life vs coming from my mind. However, this can be the most difficult thing for me to do. Because this channel is technically a manifestor channel it is very difficult for me to wait because of my constant need to be in motion. The 43/23 channel, The Structuring Channel, is the best guides for us, however, we can never be told what to do by someone else. We are definately individuals.

You have the channel of community. It links the heart center to the emotional center. This is part of the tribal/ego circuit. The "bargain" underlies everything tribal, "I'll do for you, if you do for me." This channel is about building community, where everyone has their place and function.
You invest in the community with things money can't buy and expect something in return...loyalty, respect, etc. People contribute what tey can to the community in order to feel like they belong.

Channel 44-26 is the Transmitter. It is all about transmitting money with support to the tribe. It is sometimes known as the Channel of the Entrepeneur. This is a projected channel...with the need to be recognized.

You must be paid for your item and receive support. Otherwise, at the deepest level, the "tribe" will not be happy. After all, it needs money to survive. This channel combines gate 44, which is about our oldest instinctual memory with 26 which is about maniuplating that memory in the interests of improvement. It is very creative in that it replaces the old with the new.

A couple things to watch out for... Gate 26 (the Salesman) can be very manipulative. After all, it is about manipulating the old to create something new. In practice, this could be viewed and carried out in a less than positive light. Also, watch for smells. If you don't like how someone smells stay away from them. You can smell a rat...& success!
