This week’s exploration is brought to you by the goblin in my head. The voice of most resistance. The sneering liar that has become so unoriginal that I’m still posting this week’s episode regardless of the chiding internal chatter that calls it stumbling, unintelligible and confusing. I’ll let you be the judge. Bridge 4 is activating the Ajna center this week edging us closer to the exit of our experiment inside Leo season.
Riding the coattails of 7 in the G-Center, bridge 4 is beckoning us into awareness. But what is awareness anyways? What do you consider “knowing”? In the bodygraph, there are 3 centers of knowing/awareness. Which entail that there is body-knowing (spleen), spirit-knowing (solar plexus) and mind-knowing (ajna) and essentially the Ajna helps us organize all of the data inputs from these modes of awareness. The Ajna is here to help us sift through it all and decipher what is important in order for the system to operate. Not FOR decision making, but to INFORM decision making.
And so, bridge 7 from last week highlights the importance of becoming acquainted with the soul’s frequency, your path, what you love (G-Center things) — in order to expand our awareness holistically. Meaning that we can more fully expand our definitions of knowing and awareness and what is considered valuable data when we’re centered in ourselves. This week’s energy is a delightful addition to the growing archetype of Leo. A bold, guiding, inextinguishable light. Fixed and omniscient, a lighthouse of creative fire. And bridge 4 adds a grounded fluency to the radiating light of Leo. An embodied temperament that keeps its royal Highness landed its reigning powers that be (your being).
Observation Notes
Hexagram 4: Childhood, Youthful Folly
Notes: “Receptivity to education/inspiration. Influence is necessary to abolish the old and establish the new. An energy that detects barriers to entry and senses what is open. The ajna as the mental awareness that perceives and translates the information input from the physical body. Home of the design crystal, unconscious encoding. Children as innocent and non-programmed by life are receptive and open to holistic systems of information, unimpeded by conditioned beliefs.”
Gene Key 4: The Shadow of Intolerance, The Gift of Understanding, The Siddhi of Forgiveness
Notes: “Amino Acid is Valine. Valine helps keep the body healthy and functioning under stress. 4 connects to 63 to a ‘pressure center’ (the head center). The shadow only detects patterns that reinforce perceived safety? Logic is objective. An open system informed by patterns and cycles of creation. Interrogation of holistic — understandings — must also be as internal as they are collective and externalized. Awareness as a whole. Understanding propels awareness outside of the mind (quoted from Richard Rudd) and into perceptual participation.”
Gate 4: The Gate of Formulization, the energy to beguile and succeed despite ignorance. Freedom from retribution
Notes: “Awareness from questions fueled by doubt. The impetus and insurgence of energy is experienced as ‘doubt’. What is doubt then? Doubt brings about awareness of the whole? Quoted from the Definitive Book of Human Design — ‘Rarely if ever can you formulate answers that provide solutions to your own questions about your life’.”
Questions to consider:
* Is gate 4 activated in my bodygraph? Do I have 63?
* What does it feel like in my body when I allow myself not to know?
* In what ways can I welcome confusion as a doorway to deeper clarity?
* How does my perspective change when I approach life as a living question rather than a fixed equation?
