WANTING -The Sun in Gate 19 - #HUMANDESIGN #TRANSITS #ASTROLOGY #ICHING

The Sun has now moved into Gate 19, WANTING, also known as INTIMACY or ATTUNEMENT. In I-Ching, this hexagram is called APPROACH.

This energy is highly SENSITIVE on every level. SENSITIVE to touch, SENSITIVE to energy, and SENSITIVE to feelings. Most importantly, people with this energy defined are highly SENSITIVE to other people's needs. They can truly experience real INTIMACY with other people. Or not. The theme is played out either way.   

Many people with this energy defined also have very SENSITIVE skin. Scratchy material simply will not be endured. People with this energy defined are often extremely SENSITIVE children who are crushed by a stern word directed at them or anyone else. A light hand is necessary for these SENSITIVE souls. They may also have a great affinity for animals and find them very comforting.

Has anyone ever told you to stop being so SENSITIVE? How did that make you feel? Is being SENSITIVE a sign of weakness? Does trying to toughen someone up work? Do you take pride in seeming tough when inside you’re raw and vulnerable? How does that work for you? Is being SENSITIVE to other people’s needs a bad thing? Is it a good thing? Why not? Is it a sign of strength to allow yourself to be SENSITIVE? Is it possible that SENSITIVITY to the environment and the people around you is a gift? How can this gift be of use to you and others? What if being vulnerable creates the opportunity for connection? Is it possible to allow yourself to be SENSITIVE to other people's needs as well as your own? Is it possible to protect yourself at the same time in a balanced way?

Why not embrace your inner snowflake and connect?

Starting January 28 through February 1, the Sun has now moved into Gate 19, WANTING, also known as INTIMACY. In I-Ching, this hexagram is called APPROACH.

This energy is highly SENSITIVE on every level. SENSITIVE to touch, SENSITIVE to energy, and SENSITIVE to feelings. Most importantly, people with this energy defined are highly SENSITIVE to other people's needs. They can truly experience real INTIMACY with other people. Or not. The theme is played out either way.   

Many people with this energy defined also have very SENSITIVE skin. Think The Princess and the Pea. People with this energy defined are often extremely SENSITIVE children who are crushed by a stern word directed at them or anyone else. A light hand is necessary for these SENSITIVE souls. Seriously, a little goes a long way with these folks. They may also have a great affinity for animals and find them very comforting.

Transiting Sunday, January 28 through Thursday, February 1, 2018.

The Sun has now moved into Gate 19, WANTING, also known as INTIMACY. In I-Ching, this hexagram is called APPROACH.

This energy is highly SENSITIVE on every level. SENSITIVE to touch, SENSITIVE to energy, and SENSITIVE to feelings. Most importantly, people with this energy defined are highly SENSITIVE to other people's needs. They can really dig deep and experience true INTIMACY with other people.   

My conscious moon is in this gate at the time of my birth and boy is this a driving theme in my life. They say someone with this energy defined even has SENSITIVE skin and in my case that is absolutely true. I cannot concentrate on anything else if there is a scratchy label on a piece of my clothing. Seriously, just call me the Princess and the Pea. I was also an extremely sensitive child that would be absolutely crushed by a stern word directed at me or anyone else.

Many people with this energy also have a great affinity for animals and find them very comforting. This is true for me.

But this aspect of being SENSITIVE to other people's needs really ruled my life for some time. This combined with the fact that I am an empath truly had me dominated by the needs of the people in my life. At the same time, I was so afraid of being hurt that I removed myself as much as possible from circumstances where I would be otherwise vulnerable.

With awareness however, I can now (at least try to) pin point what isn't mine and make the decision to engage or not. But I'm still SENSITIVE. I accept and appreciate this aspect of my personality as the gift that it is.

Am I still protective of my personal space and choosy about the circumstance that are acceptable for me and my energy? Absolutely. But now I understand why and appreciate this tendency for self care. In fact thanks to this self care, I can also now feel safe enough to be truly vulnerable in the right circumstance and with the right people who do not totally dominate my energy with their own desires and needs.

So during this time, take advantage of this opportunity for INTIMACY. What can you do to allow yourself to be sensitive to other people's needs as well as your own? Just keep in mind, if anyone you encounter seems over SENSITIVE, have compassion. They are experiencing a level of SENSITIVITY that may be a bit shocking and unusual. But when someone shows this kind of vulnerability what an opportunity for compassion and connection, no?

Let's all embrace our inner snowflake and connect!
