DRIVE - The Sun in Gate 54 #HUMANDESIGN #TRANSITS #ASTROLOGY #ICHING

The Sun has now entered Gate 54, DRIVE or AMBITION. In I-Ching, this hexagram is called THE MARRYING MAIDEN.

People with AMBITION defined have a very potent part of the EGO Circuit in Human Design. This is the energy for doing whatever it takes to get ahead. It also has within it the aspiration to ascend to a singular vision. The MARRYING MAIDEN is known for MARRYING up, the archetypal gold digger.

What we should understand about the TRIBAL/EGO Circuit in Human Design however is that these energies stem from a need to provide for our TRIBE. So AMBITION is about getting ahead to provide for ourselves so that we can be a resource for our loved ones.

Gate 54 is also pulse energy from the root so we may find ourselves experiencing a surge of AMBITION or we may find ourselves experiencing no DRIVE at all. So obviously the time to act on our AMBITION is when that pulse energy is activated. This is also about right timing.

Is DRIVE good? Is AMBITION bad? Why? Do you admire AMBITION in others? Do you judge people who seem overly AMBITIOUS? Why? Do you admire AMBITION in yourself? Why not? What does the term gold digger mean to you? Is it OK to be AMBITIOUS for you and yours? Why not?     

How magical is it that we have access to DRIVE and AMBITION right at the beginning of the new year?

What if you allowed yourself to really meditate on naked AMBITION for you and your family during the next 5 days? What would you discover? Better yet, what would you energetically draw to yourself if given the opportunity? 

Allow yourself to create an AMBITIOUS vision for this new year.

Spring Has Sprung #HUMANDESIGN #TRANSITS #ASTROLOGY #ICHING

Spring has sprung! I will take this change of season as an opportunity to discuss the other transits happening from March 1 through May 31, 2019.

Saturn is in gate 54, DRIVE or AMBITION until August. So the questions we must ask ourselves are as follows. Am I too AMBITIOUS or am I not AMBITIOUS enough? How is the theme of DRIVE and AMBITION getting in your way? There is an opportunity for a lesson to be learned here if we are open to it. What does DRIVE and AMBITION mean to you? Are they bad words or good words? Is it possible to find balance with how these concepts relate to our lives? Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to work on your relationship with DRIVE and AMBITION.

Jupiter enters Gate 11, IDEAS on March 8 and will remain there until May 15 when it returns to Gate 26, THE TRICKSTER. That hard work of coming to terms with your DRIVE or lack thereof could come to fruition here. If you work towards a healthy balanced DRIVE during this time you will be rewarded with a font of IDEAS. Isn’t that marvelous? Otherwise what else are you going to do with that energy for AMBITION? Gate 26, THE TRICKSTER will also provide the gift of selling those IDEAS along with a strong sense of what is true, again if you put in the work.

Finally, and I really do mean finally, Neptune will move into Gate 22, OPENNESS, on March 30th. I will personally find this to be a relief because for a very long time now Neptune has been in Gate 63, DOUBT. Which means all things spiritual and esoteric have been cast with the shadow of DOUBT. But with OPENNESS on the horizon what has contracted can now expand. This is an opportunity for us to get out of our heads and when we are in the mood, feel more OPEN to the GRACE of our spirituality. Spring will hopefully spring us back into the mood for expanding our spiritual horizons until of course September 22, 2019, when Neptune will fall back into Gate 63, DOUBT for a time. Don’t let this opportunity for expansive spiritual growth pass you by.

So get to work figuring out how DRIVE and AMBITION are getting in your way and then sell your wonderful IDEAS. In the meantime, don’t be afraid to OPEN yourself up to that deep well of spirituality. If you pay attention, it will guide you on the right path towards AMBITIOUS IDEAS that benefit us all. The truth will be revealed.

All my best wishes for a HAPPY SPRING!

DRIVE - The Sun in Gate 54 #HUMANDESIGN #TRANSITS #ASTROLOGY #ICHING

From Sunday, January 6 through Thursday, January 10, 2019, the Sun is in Gate 54, DRIVE; also known as AMBITION. In I-Ching, this hexagram is called THE MARRYING MAIDEN.

People with AMBITION defined have a very potent part of the EGO Circuit in Human Design. This is the energy for doing whatever it takes to get ahead. This energy also has within it the aspiration to ascend to a singular vision. The MARRYING MAIDEN is known for MARRYING up.

To be perfectly honest I have a somewhat tenuous grasp on this energy. This kind of AMBITION and DRIVE is simply not in my design. There is a deep reluctance to disappoint myself (oh hey open ego center) and more importantly an outright refusal to be disappointed by others (oh hey line 4). In the past I have preferred to limit my expectations and find myself pleasantly surprised by life. It has actually worked pretty well for me. I think I intuitively knew that my journey has always been to respond to opportunities that present themselves to me. So AMBITIOUSLY planning my future felt fruitless.

Of course I now know that allowing myself to think about what I want (gulp) will actually magnetize the opportunity to me.    

Therefore I plan to take time in the next five days to actually think about, dare I say visualize what I want to accomplish during 2019. Hoo boy, just the word visualize is putting me off. That isn't in my chart either. Maybe I'll listen to music that inspires AMBITION within me and represents what I want. This should be fun.  

But how magical is it that we have access to DRIVE and AMBITION right at the beginning of the new year? As my teacher Karen Curry Parker is fond of saying (and I'm paraphrasing of course), we all have everything in the chart, both through our connections with other people and through the transits.

So I’m curious to know what does DRIVE and AMBITION mean to you? Is DRIVE good? Is AMBITION bad? Why? Do you admire AMBITION in others? Do you admire AMBITION in yourself? Why not? Is it OK to be AMBITIOUS for you and yours?     

What if you allowed yourself to really meditate on naked AMBITION for you and your family during the next 5 days? What would you discover? Better yet, what would you energetically draw to yourself if given the opportunity? 

Try allowing yourself to create an AMBITIOUS vision for 2019. Then sit back and see what opportunities present themselves to you and yours in the coming year (unless you're a Manifestor. If you're a Manifestor, just go do it).

Transiting Saturday, January 6 through Wednesday, January 10, 2018

The Sun has now traveled to Gate 54, DRIVE; also known as AMBITION. In I-Ching, this energy is called THE MARRYING MAIDEN.

People with AMBITION defined have a very potent part of the EGO Circuit in Human Design. This is the energy for doing whatever it takes to get ahead. This energy also has within it the aspiration to ascend to a singular vision.

To be perfectly honest I have a somewhat tenuous grasp on this energy. This kind of AMBITION and DRIVE is simply not in my Design. There is a deep reluctance to disappoint myself (oh hey open ego center) and more importantly an outright refusal to be disappointed by others (oh hey line 4). In the past I have preferred to limit my expectations and find myself pleasantly surprised by life. It has actually worked pretty well for me. I think I intuitively knew that my journey has always been to respond to opportunities that present themselves to me. So AMBITIOUSLY planning my future felt fruitless and sorry, a bit icky.

With study of course I now know that allowing myself to think about what I want (gulp) will actually magnetize the opportunity to me.    

Therefore with the awareness that DRIVE and AMBITION are now accessible to me, I plan to take time in the next five days to actually think about, dare I say visualize what I want to accomplish during 2018. Hoo boy, just the word vision is putting me off. That isn't in my chart either. Maybe I'll listen to music that inspires AMBITION within me and represents what I want. This should be fun.  

But how magical is it that we have access to DRIVE and AMBITION right at the beginning of the new year? As my teacher Karen Curry Parker is fond of saying (and I'm paraphrasing of course), we all have everything in the chart, both through our connections with other people and through the transits.     

So with that in mind, what if you allowed yourself to really meditate on naked AMBITION for you and your family during the next 5 days? What would you discover? Better yet, what would you energetically draw to yourself if given the opportunity? Try allowing yourself to create an AMBITIOUS vision for 2018.   

Then sit back and see what opportunities present themselves to you and yours in the coming year (unless you're a Manifestor. If you're a Manifestor, just go do it).

Happy 2018 my friends.
