The Sun has now moved into GATE 30, DESIRE, also known as INTENSITY. In the I-Ching this hexagram is called CLINGING FIRE.

People with this energy are very INTENSE and it INTENSIFIES everything else in their chart. This is emotional, creative, passionate energy at its core so it is very important to wait for correct timing and clarity. Otherwise these INTENSE individuals can not only burn themselves out but also the people around them. CLINGING FIRE may well be intoxicating but it can also be all consuming. So the individual with this energy defined would do well, however INTENSELY they feel in the moment, to not only stop and seek emotional clarity before they act but also to read the room. Can people in that moment handle their INTENSITY and DESIRE?

By the way, this gate is part of the channel of FANTASY & DESIRE which is very potent, sexy energy in the right circumstances. Can we just take a moment to be amazed by the impeccable timing of the Human Design Mandala? Just in time for Valentine's Day here in the United States, we have the energy at our fingertips to experience INTENSITY and DESIRE. How perfect is that for bringing sexy back?

Valentine’s Day aside, what does the concept of DESIRE mean to you in your every day life? Do you generally experience things in an INTENSE way? How does that make you feel? Do you sometimes come on too strong? Is it possible to take a moment to read the room before you react? Do you have someone in your life that is a bit too much? Why? Do you love that about them? Is it hard for you to allow yourself to truly DESIRE the things you want? Why? Do you find having a strong DESIRE for what you want helps you or hinders you in obtaining it? Why? Is it bad to not let anything deter you from getting what you DESIRE?

Is it not a beautiful gift to have an INTENSITY that other people could only hope to approach?
