Howdy,
I had an online reading with Ed on Friday, March 19 and was very impressed with the online format which had Generro following along annotating my chart while Ed provided the reading. My very initial reaction was one of slight disappointment at the level of the reading as it seemed very basic and I had been exploring my chart for at least 6 weeks and had been studying the introductory package materials for a month. I thought I already had a reasonably good grasp of the areas that he covered in the first 15 to 20 minutes or so. This is partly just my conditioning speaking, the current planetary alignment acting through my design (if I am starting to get the hang of this yet), as well as my design itself just jumping to conclusions and trying to make sense of everything now rather than waiting - my dynamic between patience and impatience.
I received the recording of the reading on the following day and listened to it again after sketching out some questions that I wanted to ask Ed. As I listened again, I discovered that some of my questions were already answered and that I had not really been in my more effective receptive role when Ed initially spoke online. Just to give you the flavour of my design, I am a 4/6 Projector (mental) with only Ajna and Throat centers defined and only at the design/unconscious level with 43 (Sun) and 23 (moon) defined. other gates are 4, 56, 35, 45, 31, 1, 13, 46, 26, 34, 5, 29, 50, 49, 32, 60.
After listening to the complete reading, I recognized that I still had lots to learn from it and in spite of my desire to advance rapidly in my understanding of Human Design and especially my own design, it was/is still going to take lots of time to digest and observe the material in action.
I did phone Ed with some questions to see if I was at least moving in the right direction with my attempts to analyze the interactions between friends, family, and coworkers and my design - and to talk about myself (just being my design) - as well as the effects of the planetary alignment on my design as Ed had correctly pointed out that the time around mid March was likely to be a time of crises for me. He was very patient with me and let me have my say and reminded me that I am a reflector at the conscious level so that I need to use a comparable strategy for making major decisions in my life, by allowing the moon cycle to pass so as to get a sense of what is right for me.
Overall Ed's style ws very appropriate for me as I have a scattering of exposure to a wide range of terms from philosophy and various religions and especially the I Ching which was the link into Human Design for me.
Thanks Ed for the very valuable reading. I will be returning to it probably quite frequently in the next while and I am sure I will hear more each time.
Thanks to Generro for handling all the technical details, proving the annotation during the reading, and providing such quick turnaround for the recording.
