Please, Won't You Be My Neighbor?

fred-rogers-daniel-striped-tiger.jpg

I finally sat down to watch the Documentary about Mister Rogers. I have always found Fred Rogers to be a comfort during times of strife. This quote usually comes to mind, “When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, ‘look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.’ To this day, especially in times of ‘disaster,’ I remember my mother’s words and I am always comforted by realizing that there are so many helpers - so many caring people in this world.”

I find this to be so very true. Even though most folks are quite cynical about social media and question its merits, I see regular people using this tool to offer help to their neighbors on a daily basis. Often multiple times a day. I for one take comfort in that. Not to mention the helpers we see on the front lines in any crisis. They are always there for us, without fail.

My relationship with Mister Rogers is not unique for my generation. But it is unique in that I sincerely thought the man was my father for a good portion of my early childhood. It was all in my head of course. But every day I had the chance to spend time with my deeply kind and gentle ‘daddy.’ Lord help any person in my household who wanted to watch something else when he was on the television. I was devoted.

This deep seated relationship is important to me. So I was hesitant to watch the documentary for fear this delicate connection could be altered. Thankfully the documentary did not disappoint and neither did the man portrayed by it. Not surprisingly, tears streamed down my face the entire time and as I hoped, my memories were not tarnished. Fred Rogers was a very special man and so was his message.

Imagine my surprise when it also slowly dawned on me that one of his main messages for children which he repeated consistently was that they were each unique and special.

“You are a very special person. There is only one like you in the whole world. There’s never been anyone exactly like you before, and there will never be again.” Fred Rogers

As a child I received this message repeatedly and it is firmly planted in my DNA. It is something I simply believe with all my heart. I now realize this is one of the reasons I connected so deeply to Human Design and why I feel compelled to share it. We are each unique pieces of the puzzle of humanity meant to connect and work together to reach our full potential. Self awareness and acceptance is key. Everyone is lovable exactly as they are.

Human Design utilizes astrology, the Chinese I-Ching, Hindu Chakras, the Kabbalah Tree of Life, and Quantum Physics to create a unique chart that not only describes your personality but also how you energetically interact with others. Just like an astrological chart, no chart is the same. So it simply isn’t possible to be like anyone else. Even twins with the exact same chart express their energies in different ways at different times. Because each and every energy defined by the chart also has the capacity for low expression and high expression.

There is a lot of talk in Human Design about no choice and while I do agree we are not particularly in control of our life path, I also strongly believe we do have the choice to strive towards the highest expression of our chart.

Human Design teaches us when we try to be something we are not, it is called ‘not self’ behavior which inevitably results in anger, frustration, bitterness, or disappointment.

Fred Rogers chose to use his platform to teach little children that it is OK to be themselves. That they were lovable and likable exactly as they are. As a little girl with loads of Individual Circuitry (which in other words meant I felt like a complete weirdo), that message was so very important to hear.

“As human beings, our job in life is to help people realize how rare and valuable each one of us really is, that each of us has something that no one else has - or ever will have - something inside that is unique to all time. It’s our job to encourage each other to discover that uniqueness and to provide ways of developing its expression.”

How could I resist running this very special man’s chart?

At the time of Fred Rogers’ birth, the sun was transiting the Gate of LOVE OF SPIRIT. Venus and Mercury were also transiting the gate of SPIRIT or FAITH which means he valued SPIRIT and felt compelled to talk about having faith in SPIRIT. This was a man of faith. He was an ordained minister and very much treated his television show as his ministry in the very best sense of the word.

LOVE OF SPIRIT, LOVE OF THE BODY, LOVE OF SELF, and LOVE OF HUMANITY are all gates defined at the time of his birth by the sun and the earth which make up what we call his Incarnation Cross. The Right Angle Cross of The Vessel of Love.

Fred Rogers was the embodiment of LOVE.

With a split definition he had two sides to his personality. On one hand he was a creature of habit and PATTERNS with deep powers of physical COMMITMENT and PERSEVERANCE as evidenced by his daily morning swim and strict adherence to maintaining a weight of exactly 143. Which by the way was deeply spiritual symbolism for him representing I(1) LOVE(4) YOU(3). His highly disciplined COMMITMENT to his ideals was an expression of his spirituality.

On the other hand he was an enormously emotional, creative person who dealt with emotional crashes from time to time that were slow to climb back up to a happy, contented place. As such, he was devoted to helping children learn how to handle the scope of their emotions. Finding healthy, creative outlets for very strong emotions was a fact of life for him. This connection to the full spectrum of emotions I think allowed him to stay connected to how he felt as a child and therefore understand how children felt. He was also someone with a deeply adventurous bent who hated to be bored. So I think this also made him a child at heart. His ability to pick up a puppet and immediately tap into his emotions was part of his gift.

“Confronting our feelings and giving them appropriate expression always takes strength, not weakness.”

He was unfortunately plagued by self DOUBT but this energy kept him quite humble and also an astute observer and critic of how the power of television can shape minds in both positive and negative ways.

He chose to use the medium to teach children how to accept themselves and also how to be kind and neighborly to the people in their lives. He chose to LEAD by example.

“There have been so many stories about the lack of courtesy, the impatience of today’s world, road rage and even restaurant rage. Sometimes, all it takes is one kind word to nourish another person. Think of the ripple effect that can be created when we nourish someone. One kind, empathetic word has a wonderful way of turning into many.”

Just as angry actions and words can have a ripple effect, so can kindness and love. Not everyone is built to be a Vessel of Love. But we can choose when at all possible to be KIND.

Please, won’t you be my neighbor?

UPDATE - The Top 2020 Democratic Candidates, A Human Design Perspective #DEMOCRATS @SenSanders @PeteButtigieg @amyklobuchar @ewarren @JoeBiden

Democrats in the United States have a big decision to make in the coming months. Who to trust to campaign against our incumbent President in 2020. The stakes feel terribly high. Would the United States survive another 4 years of a Trump presidency? Would the planet?

The emotional climate of this country is currently set to a low frequency. All you have to do is look at our President’s Twitter account to see the tone. A lack of kindness is celebrated. It is considered refreshing and bold by a shockingly large percentage of our population. How do we get back to a place of striving for higher moral ground? Were we kidding ourselves that we had any higher moral ground in the first place? Did we ever as a country truly come from a place of kindness and decency? What was propaganda? What was real?

For better or worse the veil has been lifted. All is in the process of being revealed. The question is what is or is not acceptable? We are human after all. History shows that the most cruel behavior will be tolerated. We are certainly not special in that regard. Look at the way human beings are treated at the border right this minute. Human rights violations happen everywhere, all the time.

The truth is American citizens are not special. We are just like every other human on this planet. Each of us is capable of striving for a higher frequency, or not. Not striving for a higher frequency is certainly easier. Everyone is terrible so why should any one person be any different? But that is what it takes. One person at a time, taking personal responsibility to strive to be their highest self. This right here just may be exactly the shift that is happening in the world today. Individual responsibility. We are each facing a choice. Who do we want to be?

Does any one leader have the answer? Again, the veil has been lifted and the answer is probably not. There is no human being that can pass the purity test. But each of us can certainly strive to choose someone who is at least attempting to reach a higher frequency. Someone who at least has the desire to help steer this overly large ship in a different, more positive direction. That is what voting is all about. Do we have any control over what is happening in Washington DC? Probably not. But each vote certainly sends a message. Who do we want to be as a country?

We are in the middle of an identity crisis and it truly can go either way. Every time we vote, we make a choice. We can go the everyone is terrible route or we can send one small message that a higher frequency is desired. This choice is ultimately a matter of self respect. Keep in mind, the less respect we have for ourselves the less inclined we will be to express our highest self.

When I look at the Human Design charts of the top five Democratic Presidential candidates I don’t see anyone who is perfect. But we now know no one is perfect don’t we? So where does that leave us? The Human Design chart utilizes the Chinese I-Ching, the Hindu Chakras, the Kabbalah Tree of Life, and quantum physics to interpret western and eastern astrology and illustrate exactly how we are defined as a person at the time of our birth. Now I don’t have a time of birth for all of the candidates so I will focus on what stays the same in their charts over the course of the day they were born.

Bernie Sanders -

Now with Bernie Sanders I see a chart that contains leadership qualities. I have a time of birth for him so I know he is what we call a 5/1 Profile. This is significant. Because the line 5 individual is highly charismatic and has the energetic effect of a potential guru. People will project their needs and wants onto him and see him as someone who can save them. Now this is actually a bit unfair to him. No one can actually live up to these projections. Not really. We’ve established that he, just like everyone else is human after all. But it explains why his supporters are so passionate about him.

He also has leadership in a prominent planetary position. Which means people will naturally turn to him for leadership. He comes from a generation that has democratic leadership ingrained in them as well. So this is a man with a leadership configuration that believes in a democracy.

He is a Projector type who subsists on sheer ego and will power. So that means with the right invitation, he is here to guide people. It also means energetically that he needs to delegate as much as possible. He will amplify the energy of the people around him and he won’t always know for himself when enough is enough. But he needs to schedule in rest. His staff needs to schedule in rest. I’m honestly not surprised he had a heart attack. Campaigning has to be a grueling schedule for a Projector type and he is pushing his will power to the limit. He is here to tell people what to do. Not do everything himself.

Bernie is an extremely competitive person who is inclined to behave in shocking ways and say shocking things. His is the chart of the shaman who must find spirituality through physical trials. So he is not afraid of difficulty. There is nothing he loves more than persuading someone who doesn’t agree with him to see things his way. He is not above rearranging the facts a little to accomplish this.

But his goals are pure. He is here on this planet to assist people to grow and improve their lives.

Pete Buttegieg -

Mayor Pete is all about bringing law and order to the chaos. In his world laws are meant to provide the structure for fairness to this world. But he also needs to make sure that those laws still make sense for the current climate and time because he can be a bit of a traditionalist. This is a man who would always regard the constitution with the greatest respect. Despite his youth, he would represent a return to how things have been traditionally done in Washington. A return to dignity, integrity, respect, and honor.

He has very strong values that are a product of his experience. He is a gifted storyteller and has a talent for transmitting his message in an extremely effective way to sell his ideas. Pete Buttegieg is a Generator Type so he is perfectly capable of rolling up his sleeves and getting things done for the country.

Amy Klobuchar -

Amy is a classic Manifesting Generator Type which means she has a very powerful energy to act in response, always preferring be busy lining up her next agendas and figuring out how to implement her plans. Which I imagine makes her a very effective Senator.

She is an extremely capable person who has learned many of her lessons the hard way. She has been there and done that to the extent that she is pretty good at everything she tries and there can be a bit of world weariness in that. She hates to be bored.

While I do not have a time of birth for her, as I run her chart throughout the day, her conscious line 5 energy remains consistent. So with that said, like Bernie she is also in the projection field with people looking to her to fulfill their needs with the highest of expectations. Even more so due to the definition in her chart, people may fantasize that they have a bonding agreement with her whether she is aware of it or not.

But Amy is all about making agreements and honoring those agreements. Communication is key. Her word is her bond. It is extremely important to her that the people in her extended family (and when you have been accepted into her close knit community, you are considered family) take these agreements just as seriously. She will not accept anything less from those in her inner circle.

Interestingly, she has two very distinct sides to her personality. On one hand she is a true individualist who is here to follow her own convictions and maintain a strong commitment to her own higher principles regardless of what other people think. This exampled behavior is very empowering and inspiring to other people. On the other hand she is compelled to be a contributing, supportive part of the community as a whole and her bonds with people sustain her. So the duality here is whether or not she is empowering people through her example as a self respecting individualist or whether she is a fully participating, supportive member of a group, working for the betterment of all concerned. Both sides are extremely effective but when she is fully participating in her community she may find that she is feeling less fulfilled as an individual and vice versa, therein lies the rub.

Her ambitious nature can get her into a little trouble but in the end her innate need to maintain her own self respect and self love will steer her in the right direction. Integrity is very important to her.

Elizabeth Warren -

Elizabeth Warren is quite literally a vessel of love. She has a deep love for humanity and she is driven by her dream of a more humane world. She is a Generator type who is quite capable of rolling up her sleeves and getting things done herself thank you very much with consistent energy and enthusiasm.

She is extremely talented and will approach each task with an almost clinical depth until she feels she is doing the very best she can. Hence her very thoughtfully written plan for almost every issue. She is someone who has no problem starting a task and then seeing it through until it is finished. This is in fact one of her gifts. She also comes from a generation who is built to support democratic leadership.

At heart however she is a humanitarian and whether she realizes it or not, would represent a return to a United States that is seen as a humanitarian force in this world.

Joe Biden -

Joe Biden is gifted at conveying concepts and he wants nothing more than to make a contribution to society. He is here to inspire people whether he is aware of it or not. He is a naturally talented and enthusiastic person who has this tendency to succeed where others fail and yet fail where most people succeed. He can get himself into trouble if he relies too much on his natural talent without putting in the depth of work required for expertise.

A Generator type, he has the consistent energy to get that work done however. He is also from that same generation that has Democratic Leadership ingrained. So yes, he fundamentally believes in a democracy. I have a time of birth for Joe so I also know he is a 4/6 profile which means he is someone who finds his opportunities through his connections with other people and is a natural role model whether he is aware of it or not. Others are continually, energetically influenced by his example.

So there you have it, each of these candidates have unique qualities that would be very effective as President of the United States. Each would be in their own way a refreshing contrast to the current administration. The question is, what are the qualities that are important to you? What qualities do you want to be presented to the world as the representation of American values?

Energetically, Bernie Sanders may have the best potential to get people excited about voting which is no small feat. People will tend to be more passionate about him and more intuitively see him as a leader. Of course his message of democratic socialism might also shock and scare part of the population. But if there was ever a time where people were open to a shocking point of view, it is now and he is uniquely capable of persuading the American public to see things his way. He is quite literally here on this earth to persuade people to see things his way.

Buttegieg could potentially strike a powerful chord if he focused on the lawlessness of the current administration and portrayed himself in contrast as a return to law, order, and integrity.

I believe Klobuchar would have an impact on voters if she focused on a message of her commitment to higher principles and strong, unwavering personal convictions in direct contrast to the current administration. That she would represent a return to the United States being seen as a country that truly honors its agreements.

If Warren shifts her message however to one that is a bit less cerebral and more heartfelt, more an expression of love, I feel people would respond to the energetic authenticity of that. Love would indeed be a salve to the current climate.

Biden would do well to stick with inspirational messages that also portray him as a good role model for the country. Again, a good contrast to the current administration. The United States as a role model to the rest of the world once again.

Long story short, we have a great choice to make. A multitude of riches in fact. Whichever message strikes the deepest chord for you should be your choice. Which highest expression do you want to represent the Unites States? But in the end I hope each of us can also fully support whichever candidate is on the ballot in November. We need to convince folks who are not democrats to vote for a democratic candidate. The very soul of this country depends on it.

We are better than this. I submit that everyone is not terrible. That we each have the potential to have terrible moments but we each also have the potential to raise our frequency to be the highest expression of ourselves. It certainly helps to surround yourself as much as possible with higher frequency folks but the responsibility ultimately lies within ourselves.

It starts with the individual. Strive to be a better version of yourself, and then support any and all movement towards a higher frequency world.

It's a #RoyalWedding People and I'm Here For It - Meghan and Harry's Human Design Relationship Composite Chart

Maybe you haven’t heard, but there’s a royal wedding happening this weekend. I for one will be breathlessly watching Cord & Tish’s coverage on HBO; maybe not at 4:30 in the morning but the replay for sure. Whether you’re an anglophile royal watcher or not, there is something deliciously fun about a girl marrying her prince. In this case, it’s an American actress named Meghan Markle who is also a person of color. How cool is that?

So I thought it might be fun to read Meghan and Harry’s composite Human Design chart. Human Design is a synthesis of western and eastern astrology, the Chinese I-Ching, The Hindu Chakra System, the Kabbalah Tree of Life, and quantum physics. A composite chart combines the individual charts of two people to analyze how they energetically relate to one another. 

Meghan is here to express herself by sensitively recognizing the importance of people’s experiences and taking on a leadership role to share these sacred stories of the past. She will also receive the support she needs to do just that.  

Prince Henry is here to passionately connect with people and experiences through experimentation and to share the wisdom he has learned (and his resulting ideas) when the timing is right.

Not a bad combination right?

I can see why they are together because through some potent electromagnetics their relationship has the wonderful themes of making an inspired creative contribution, caring for one another and maintaining strong values as a couple, and very effectively transmitting what they want to share with the world. Isn’t that nice?

Now, I really must say that I’m relieved these two have the electromagnetic of the channel of preservation creating a solid sense of family and values with one another because Harry will feel compelled to impulsively experiment with new experiences throughout his life. He is not one to stick with one thing for fear of boredom. That said, I do believe if Meghan allows him the freedom to experiment with his passions and pursuits that have to do with projects and recreational activities, he will be much less likely to experiment with other women. It’s important for Meghan to understand he needs his space to try new things, sometimes on his own and that's OK. Their relationship will be the better for it if he feels he has her support in this.

Interestingly they say in Human Design that we take after our grandparents, and from what I’ve seen of ‘The Crown,’ his grandfather had that same need for experimentation whether it be through travel, projects, or women. With awareness however, and if Harry is able to express that need for new experiences in other ways, and especially since they have this wonderful theme of family and values as a couple, I see no reason why Harry should feel the need to experiment with romantic experiences outside the marriage.

They both feel enormous pressure to act on the inspiration they feel and to get things done so they can be free. Their connection theme is ‘7-2 There’s work to do,’ which simply means they might need to pursue individual interests from time to time and allow each other the space to do that without hurt feelings. 

Harry is a bit of a perfectionist via his channel of the perfected form and Meghan has the gate of correction quite prominently defined in her chart by the Moon, Saturn, and Jupiter. This means she is driven to correct the imperfections in the world while Harry’s perfectionist bent is more internal and wrapped up in his own self-esteem and self-love. It would do Meghan well to remember to focus her intuitive ability to correct what isn’t perfect outwardly towards the world and her work; not towards her husband because doing so could very well cause some wear and tear on his self-esteem.

Harry would do well to understand that Meghan is very sensitive, that he should tread lightly because a little negativity on his part will feel feel very intense for her. She will also pick up on his emotional nature and amplify it. As a result she may have difficulty understanding that these feelings are coming from him and not from her and may also want to avoid confrontation as a result.

That said, their electromagnetic connection of the channel of inspiration is especially wonderful for Meghan because when she is with her new husband she is able to find the voice to express her soul and to feel whole and connected to her mind and body. Sigh. This is a classic case of ‘he completes me,’ and it’s absolutely true.

All in all I have great hope for this union and Meghan Markle has the potential to be a wonderful, charismatic force for good. The people of the United Kingdom will love her but they will also hold her to a very high standard and have expectations that she will need to be careful to respect and understand. If she disappoints them they will turn on her. Believe it or not, this dynamic is part of her chart, not just because she's about to be part of the royal family. People will tend to project what the need and want on her and her challenge will be to have an awareness of that and respect it.

With patience, understanding, and deep caring this relationship has the potential to fortify and strengthen both of these individuals to become their best selves as a couple.

I am wishing all the best to the bride and groom. Happy royal wedding everyone!
