The undefined Head center is taking in everybody else's thoughts and amplifying them, putting
incredible pressure in your head to figure things out and to act on things that have nothing to do with
you. The wisdom here is to witness your mind needlessly getting caught in mental ideas and
concepts that are not yours. The open Head question is: "Am I trying to answer everybody else's
questions?"
The undefined Ajna is under pressure to try to hold onto a mental opinion. With no fixed way of
thinking, these people often end up with anxiety about not being consistent, and overcompensate by
trying to make everyone else believe that they are certain and smart. The wisdom here is to see that
there is no need to have a fixed mental opinion about anything. The open Ajna question is : "Am I
trying to convince everyone/myself that I am certain?"
The defined Throat speaks in a fixed way, with a consistent expression from whatever energy
center it is connected to.
The defined G center represents a fixed self that behaves and expresses love in a consistent way,
and is moving in a fixed trajectory in this life. It is a reliable expression of the self.
The defined Ego can make commitments and promises that are healthy for it. It can feel stubborn
and often pushy, especially to those with no defined willpower.
Defined Spleens have a fixed sense of well being and can know in the moment how to act in order
to survive and be healthy.
The defined Sacral has the capacity to sustain work and create in the world. The Sacral is a
response motor and regenerates itself through the correct application of its energy. However, the
opposite is also true: it can degenerate into frustration when forced to do work that is not satisfying.
An undefined Solar Plexus means that you are taking in the emotions of others and amplifying
them. The open emotional being has learned to make nice and play nice in order to avoid the
volatility of the emotional world. The wisdom here is that you should never trust how you feel (the
emotions of others) or allow yourself to be pressured emotionally by others. The open Solar Plexus
question is : "Am I avoiding confrontation and truth?"
Defined Root people are under a constant and consistent pressure to do. It is a healthy energy as
long as it entered into and used correctly. It can also be healthy for the defined Root to release
pressure through activities such as exercise.
Coming from the root is the 58th gate, the Joyous, which goes up to the 18th gate, Work on What
Has Been Spoilt. This has to do with the love of life, the vitality which fuels life and causes us to
want to perpetuate it. Called the channel of Judgment, insatiability is a byproduct of the ability to feel
so wonderful. It is as though this hexagram says, "more and better, more and better", which has to
do with the impulse that is keeping us alive and healthy.
Of course, it is not possible to constantly have more and better, so we come to the gate at the other
side, the 18th gate that links the channel to the spleen, and manages to keep what is healthy or not
in balance. The channel of Judgment is rooted in logic. It is about knowing what works, and
likewise, knowing what doesn't work. The logic circuit is all about comparing patterns and
understanding what is inherently correct based on the knowledge of the comparison.
Thus, when someone with this channel perceives something that is inconsistent within a pattern,
they feel a need to express it and alert others to it. These people will share with you the correction
you need (or the correction they think you need). It can be an endless and incessant stream of data
about what is wrong coming from the need of the 18th gate to "work on what has been spoilt". The
18th gate challenges everything and tells you what needs to be worked on.
These people will share with you the correction you need (or the correction they think you need).A'A
This can be useful or not. Your mother sharing with you their opinion of your haircut can be helpful
or not. But the main theme is sharing of what needs to be corrected. The important thing to keep in
mind is that it is not personal, no matter how personal it might feel to you.
The energy within this channel stems from an underlying motive to perpetuate our existence. After
all, our genes are very interested in perpetuation of the species, and by comparing what has worked
(the pattern) with what is not working, the 18 is focusing to get back to what works. In a way, the 18
is like a sentry that needs to be trained to recognize what needs to be called attention to, because it
will call an alert to every problem it observes. When it is functioning at its highest level, this channel
can keep society on track to a better future and serve us all through this awareness.
The Channel of Exploration - 10/34, links the G Center through the 10, the Gate of Treading, to the
34, the Gate of Power in the Sacral Center. Here we have a channel that strongly empowers
behavior.
The 10th gate is the gate of behavior, and the 34th, the gate of power. This is therefore the
empowerment of behavior, or the behavior of empowerment. Remember that Human Design is a
dualistic system, and these terms can always be inverted.
This is a generated channel. What this means is that as long as these people are responding, their
power is behaving correctly and their behavior is always perfect. This is what it means to follow
one's convictions.
The 10th gate is the gate of the love of self. When you follow your natural responses, you become
centered in your convictions, no matter how unusual they are. Out of this behavior, comes the love
of oneself.
People with activations in the Centering Circuit have an aura that creates a kind of vortex around
them. It is this power of Centering that can draw so much attention to themselves. Whether this
attention is positive or negative always depends upon whether they are waiting to respond.
People with this definition have a very fixed behavioral pattern, meaning they are comfortable and
solid within themselves (if they live their design). This channel is part of the Individual circuit so
10/34's have a tremendous capacity of being able to empower others to also feel comfortable and
solid within themselves. In other words, they empower others to follow their own behavior -
whatever it happens to be.
This channel beautifully expresses the core of what individuals would like in the world. Every
individual would really like to be able to live their own behavior without interference. At the same
time, of course, they would like to empower everybody else to live their own behavior without
suffering the interference of others.
The upshot of it is that these 10/34 people play a vital role by re-empowering in others their own
sense of uniqueness. The not-self of this channel would be a bit rigid about this. Something like:
"I'm going to be like this whether you like it or not. I'm just going to be like this, this is my behavior.
However, I think it would be really healthy for you if you are always like that. Yes. And if you stay
like that and I stay like this, we're not going to have a problem."
The Channel of Materialism links the Throat Center through the 45, the Gate of Gathering Together,
to the 21, the Gate of Biting Through in the Heart Center. For all of the power and influence of the
Tribe over human affairs, it's interesting to note that it only has one direct connection to the Throat
only one voice. The voice of the tribe is, "I have or I don't have" (as heard in the 45).
The tribe wants two things: money and a secure and reliable commitment from everyone to be tribal
together. The 45 is the King/Queen and the 21 is the Hunter/Huntress. It is the responsibility of the
two working together to make sure the tribe has these two things.
Materialism is the way of the 21-45, and what really satisfies it is putting money to work. This is the
channel that has developed the simple business model of barter or village trade into the complex
business models we have today. People with this channel have the education (45) and the control
(21) to understand and direct financial dealings on a more complex level - the stock market, banks,
speculation, the kinds of business venture that return dividends on investment over time.
For those kinds of money-making enterprises to succeed requires the support of many and it
requires that each person involved be knowledgeable and trustworthy in keeping their part of the
deal. This is the apex of the Tribal qualities. But no matter how complex the structure, at its core are
the same basic two things: money and the community that uses it.
