DEPTH - The Sun in Gate 48 - #HUMANDESIGN #ICHING #ASTROLOGY #TRANSITS

The sun has now moved into Gate 48, DEPTH. In the I-Ching this hexagram is called THE WELL.

DEPTH is part of the Understanding Circuit in Human Design which is associated with the logical side of humanity who require proof and repetition to support any theory. It is also part of the Channel of Talent which includes Gate 16, SKILLS. This is not magical talent that comes out of nowhere. Although Gate 16 is definitely associated with natural talent and enthusiasm. What DEPTH brings to table is the need to practice and learn until we feel we are adequate for the task. Natural talent and enthusiasm combined with the desire to work hard create the formula for amazing displays of mastery.

This energy has its challenges. As with all gates in the Spleen, the low expression of this energy is fear. In this case, you guessed it, the fear of inadequacy. But with all fears associated with the spleen, the trick is to push through and do it anyway which will result in the fear most likely melting away rather quickly. Tell that to someone with DEPTH in a prominent position on their chart without its partner in crime (Gate 16 SKILLS) and they’ll stare at you like you have two heads.

As I mentioned, this logical energy is compelled to put in the work until they feel adequate. The trouble is how do they know for sure exactly when they are adequate? Because the logical bent of this circuitry needs proof. But how can they have proof unless they actually do it?

The truth is, people with this energy usually put in more work and energy into mastering things than people who don’t have this energy. So yeah, they are more than ready. But they probably will never feel ready.

There lies the rub.

How do you handle your fears of inadequacy? Are you one of those lucky people who think they are awesome at absolutely everything? Why not? What proof do you have that you would be bad at something unless you actually try it? Are you brave enough to be bad at something until you have put in enough work to be great? What if after all that work you’re not that great? Is that OK?

What if you shared your DEPTH of knowledge and experience with others? What’s the worst that can happen? You will always know less than some and more than others. but you will for sure have something to contribute.

Just do it.

Transiting - October 3 through October 7, 2017

Transiting - October 2, through October 7, 2017, in beautiful Los Angeles.

The Sun now moves into the Gate of DEPTH and the Earth is in the gate of THE TREASURER. The Gate of DEPTH can be tricky energy. Those of us who have it defined every day know full well. We feel compelled to go deep because we never truly have the sense that we know enough. This right here is the fear of inadequacy. As with all Splenic energies, it truly is a short lived fear in the moment and if we just push through that feeling of inadequacy, the fear will dissipate. That's easier said than done of course. If we don't push through, it may hold us back. This week we may initially feel like we we need to do more research, study more, know more before we are willing to take action.

What's grounding us is the Gate of the TREASURER. This is the energy for controlling resources. So yes, this is a good time to focus on your budget and planning your finances (especially with this extra impulse to research in depth). But in the context of the Sun in the Gate of Depth, it may also manifest as the compulsion to control things or situations to alleviate that fear of inadequacy. But the Earth has a grounding effect, so maybe that's not so bad. If being a little controlling about circumstances can make you feel more confident and less fearful, why not? 

As always, these energies are affecting all of us. So be patient when you find the people around you hesitating more than you'd like or being somewhat controlling. You know exactly where they are coming from so have compassion.
