Head Center Center [Undefined]
Theme: inspiration, anxiety, mental pressure
Description: Those with an undefined Head Center have no consistent way of deliberating mental information. If normal inspiration becomes an amplified pressure to think about things that don't matter, they can get lost in their own mental monologue. Meaningless not-self thoughts and questions will ultimately steer them away from correct decision-making processes. As anxiety increases, they may seek to assuage it by looking for someone or something inspiring to focus on. Undefined Head Centers tend to either avoid intellectual pursuits, or throw themselves into one mystery after another. The... read more

Ajna Center Center [Undefined]
Theme: mental awareness, thinking, conceptualization
Description: If the Ajna Center is undefined in a chart, the Head Center will also be undefined. Gate activations in either undefined center provide themes for the ways our mental activity connects us to people with whom we interact.Open Head and Ajna centers can have an open and flexible mind. This is a sign of the mental intelligence indicative of thinkers or intellectuals like Freud, Jung, Einstein or Madame Curie. Once a person's mind is set free from conditioning, it is open to a full range of intellectual stimulation and creativity. Innate and learned wisdom about the intricate workin... read more

Throat Center Center [Undefined]
Theme: communication, action, expression, metabolism
Description: The not-self theme of the undefined Throat Center is "Trying to attract attention." People with undefined Throat Centers are afraid they won't be noticed, so their not-self mind jumps at the chance to think up ways to attract attention. They can easily succumb to an amplified pressure to talk, to act, to make an impression, to interrupt or to be the life of the party. They don't realize that the open Throat naturally attracts attention, and if they wait, invitations to speak will come to them. In this way, they will receive the proper attention, at the most opportune time, with... read more

Identity (G) Center Center [Open]
Theme: sense of self, identity, love, direction in life
Description: People with undefined G Centers have no fixed identity. This is not a handicap, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with them. What is difficult for them to comprehend is living without knowing who they are, or having a consistent and reliable sense of identity. No one truly knows the parameters of their open personality — and neither do they! They blend in or adapt to the people they interact with, and they can fit in anywhere or nowhere. One way or the other, they are always subject to the auric influences (definition) of the people in their environment. They are here to ... read more

Will (Heart) Center Center [Undefined]
Theme: ego, willpower, courage, willfulness, heart
Description: People with undefined Heart Centers are not designed to be willful and competitive, yet they often feel driven by a need to find the courage to exercise their will. "Why can't I get what they have?" they ask. "Why can't I be as fast or as good as they are? I should be able to compete with them." While they want to exercise willpower, and to make and keep promises, they do not understand that they have no consistent energy to support either one.We live in a world that sends a constant stream of messages that we should/could/can be better, prettier, richer, faster, and more succe... read more

Solar Plexus Center Center [Undefined]
Theme: emotions, pleasure, feelings, sexiness
Description: The undefined Solar Plexus Center absorbs and amplifies the emotions present in its environment. This center carries an especially deep conditioning potential, and can be particularly vulnerable to the needs, moods, and feelings of other people. It is critical for the health and well-being of the emotionally undefined to know when the emotions they are feeling and expressing are not entirely theirs, and that they can release them and protect themselves by not identifying with them. Otherwise, they bounce up and down on the emotional waves of others, knowing their emotions are o... read more

Sacral Center Center [Undefined]
Theme: life force, generative and creative energy, sexuality
Description: The undefined Sacral Center is always vulnerable to the intense conditioning field (or buzz) created by the majority of human beings on the planet with defined Sacrals. It is extremely sensitive to the energy levels in people and places, and is capable of magnifying those energies. Those with undefined Sacral's are subject to elevated levels of energy pumping through bodies that are not equipped to handle it. They often run on this 'borrowed' energy, and over-extend themselves, leading to breakdown and exhaustion. Not designed to live in response, they can never rely on their o... read more

Spleen Center Center [Undefined]
Theme: immune system, intuition, instinct, taste, fear for survival
Description: Seven primal fears reside in the Splenic Center, and when the center is undefined, these fears are easily magnified. Those with undefined Spleens need to face each of their fears, one by one, in order to become fearless in a healthy way. This is how they develop awareness, and honor and learn from their fear rather than suppress it or pretend it's not there. Confronting and handling the fear makes them stronger and less frightened each time the fear returns. The result is a sense of well-being. If they are unable to do this, however, the conditioned not-self may become overwhel... read more

Root Center Center [Undefined]
Theme: stress, pressure, fuel for life, depression
Description: The undefined Root Center absorbs stress from its environment. People with an undefined Root are subject to pressures from those with a defined Root. Because the amplified pressure is uncomfortable, they are always trying to get rid of it, yet as soon as they do another pressure takes its place. They rush around and accomplish the work of three people, trying to resolve pressure that cannot be resolved. It's an endless, unsustainable cycle that eventually results in burn out.Undefined Roots take in and amplify the adrenalized Root Center stress in the world, but are not equippe... read more

Line description:
When you get to the third line, to the completion of the lower trigram, you are dealing with the concept or terminology of adaptation. Everything about the nature of the third line is about the recognition that it involves a process that we call trial and error. This is a wave of bonds made or broken, and this is the learning process in life. Nothing distinguishes the third line more than this process of "You can’t do it. It does not work. You try it again in another way. It does not work". You go through this process of trial and error. Here the trial and error is call... read more

Line description:
Individuals, by their very nature, get stuck in habits. They eat the same food every day, they go for the same walk every day and in accepting the limitation, it is always possible that the mutation can take place and something extraordinary happens. Very often, they just get stuck in the very habit itself. When you come to the third line, you have the theme of trial and error, of bonds made and broken, and it is called ‘Conservatism.’ Saturn exalted, Enlightened self-interest that naturally handles restrictions and limitations, ensuring identity and security. Enlightened s... read more

The first line is our foundation line. It is the line of introspection. The first line always represents the essence of what the gate is about.

It is called ‘Cooperation.’ Jupiter exalted, The expansion of activity in cooperation with powerful forces through principled actions that guarantee continued support and engender prosperity. The nature of spirit of the 55.1. Everything about the 55th gate is establishing the spirit that will be necessary to e... read more

Every single hexagram, and this is very funny but also sad, but it is how things work, is expressed as an essence through its first line. The first line is a foundation. Here we have the foundation of the ‘Preemptive strike.’ It says, The authority and vitality that in understanding purpose and direction, can recognize and eliminate barriers before they become impregnable. Preemptive strike is a military term. It means that you get them before they get you. It also means: You get them before anybody else does. This is what I call the Cave Man line. You know thes... read more

Sign: Scorpio ♏︎ 03°18'39"
I'Ching: ䷛ Preponderance of the Great
Planet theme: Driving Force — Emotions.
Gate: 28 — Gate 28
Gate theme: The transitoriness of power and influence.
Gate drive: Fear of Death/Purpose
Line: 2 — Shaking Hands with the Devil
Line description:
The first line is trying to figure out the odds in introspection. The second line only wants to win and does not care what the odds are. ‘Shaking hands with the devil.’ You are only interested in winning. When you look at initiation which is part of the individual process, this deep competitiveness that lies within the individual nature is mirrored in this second line. The projection that "I have to win. If I do not win and if I can’t take a risk and gamble, life is not worthwhile." This can lead to depression. This line is about Distasteful alliance. Sun exalted, A... read more

I'Ching: ䷴ Development

Gate: 53 — Gate 53
Gate theme: Development as a structured progression that is both steadfast and enduring.
Gate drive: Pressure to begin, to start new things
Line: 2 — Momentum
Line description:
All second lines are projecting outwards. So what this line is projecting outwards is the capacity to begin. It always looks like these people can begin something new, which may or may not be appreciated by those around them. If you have a partner that has the 53.2, it may look like your partner is always ready to start a new relationship. That is simply because they are projecting out that they are ready for something to begin. That does not mean that that is so. That is only the field that is being projected out. This line is called ‘Momentum.’ Success breeds succes... read more
Personality Venus — Gate 64.3 ♍︎
Sign: Virgo ♍︎ 13°17'28"
I'Ching: ䷿ Before Completion
Planet theme: Values and Sociology — Values
Gate: 64 — Gate 64
Gate theme: Transition, like birth, requires a determined strength for the passage through.
Gate drive: Abstract pressure to make sense of the past, and to resolve the chaos and confusion.
Line: 3 — Overextension
Line description:
When we get to the third, we get to the line called ‘Overextension.’ This line is about trial and error. We saw in the format energies that the third line is going to bump into the other side. It is not ready for it. It is not equipped, as is the upper trigram. Because the third line is the completion of the lower trigram, it always bumps into what it is not prepared for. That’s why it is trial and error. Saturn exalted, The wisdom to recognize when one has not the necessary resources – you cannot make sense out of it - to complete transition. Such timely awareness may ... read more
Personality Mars — Gate 35.6 ♊︎
Sign: Gemini ♊︎ 16°08'19"
I'Ching: ䷢ Progress
Planet theme: Immaturity and Energy Dynamics — Opportunity for growth.
Gate: 35 — Gate 35
Gate theme: By design, progress cannot exist in a vacuum and is dependent on interaction.
Gate drive: I experience/feel or not. Progress through experience.
Line: 6 — Rectification
Line description:
When you get to the 6th line, this line is very clear. The 35.6, when you go to the very next hexagram you will get to the 45, which is the only possessive gate that exists. It is the only pure possessive gate that manifests. It is a voice that says "I have" or "I don’t have," and the 35.6, when it gets to the end of that process it says, "What is the point of just another experience? What do I have from that experience?" and so here we find an aspect in which the only thing that is important is, "Is that experience going to have a corrective value in it, that by doing this e... read more
Personality Jupiter — Gate 31.3 ♌︎
Sign: Leo ♌︎ 04°42'41"
I'Ching: ䷞ Influence

Gate: 31 — Gate 31
Gate theme: The law offriction, whether active or passive, that engenders transference and thus influence.
Gate drive: I lead or not. The influential elected leader.
Line: 3 — Selectivity
Line description:
The nature of a third line is that in a sense it is combining the qualities of the first and second line, the qualities of introspection and projection. It puts them together into this potential for adaptation. When you get to this third line, you get to the key to successful political leadership which lies here. It is called ‘Selectivity,’ which is about recognizing first of all: Who should be a follower? This is so important in terms of influence. If you influence somebody that cannot implement your pattern, there is very little impact. If you influence somebody that can ... read more
Personality Saturn — Gate 21.6 ♈︎
Sign: Aries ♈︎ 14°43'43"
I'Ching: ䷔ Biting Through
Planet theme: Discipline (The Judge) — Place in your life where living out of alignment can cause turmoil and problems.
Gate: 21 — Gate 21
Gate theme: The justified and necessary use of power in overcoming deliberate and persistent interference.
Gate drive: To be in control. To control the circumstances.
Line: 6 — Chaos
Line description:
The thing to recognize about the nature of the Materialism that is inherent in the 21 is that, built into the most materialist channel is also anti-materialism which we already met in the third line, the powerlessness that becomes a lack of will for the material plane because of the Ego. That manifests differently. That is people saying that money is bad, everybody should share. A good hippie consciousness can come out of the 21.3. The same thing is true for the sixth line. Because sixth lines in and of themselves are transitional, they are going to sit above in their aloofness... read more
Personality Uranus — Gate 20.5 ♊︎
Sign: Gemini ♊︎ 04°38'39"
I'Ching: ䷓ Contemplation
Planet theme: Unusualness, Chaos and Order — How you express your unusualness/originality.
Gate: 20 — Gate 20
Gate theme: Recognition and awareness in the now which transforms understanding into right action.
Gate drive: I am now or not. Instantaneous clarity/action.
Line: 5 — Realism
Line description:
The 5th line is called ‘Realism.’ This is a line of universalization. It is a line that gets projected on, and it is a very difficult line. Everybody is projecting on this line that these people know. Everybody is projecting on them that they are the ones that know what is really going on in the now. They may or may not. The first thing that the 5th line of the 20 knows is, that Contemplation, in and of itself, is no guarantee of success. It is not enough to be existential. If you don’t have any power, what will you do with what you recognize in the now. If you don... read more
Personality Neptune — Gate 17.1 ♈︎
Sign: Aries ♈︎ 04°21'46"
I'Ching: ䷐ Following

Gate: 17 — Gate 17
Gate theme: The ancient law that those who wish to rule must know how to serve.
Gate drive: Fear of Challenge
Line: 1 — Openness
Line description:
This foundation line is called ‘Openness.’ Mars exalted, The energy to sustain a broad spectrum of stimuli. When you are talking about the first line, you are talking about the true nature of the hexagram and the Venus in detriment, A tendency to limit openness to aesthetically pleasing stimuli. Both of those are about the capacity to always have opinions. This is a very opinionated line. The exalted is about The possibility of having many opinions. That is the nature of this gate. There are many opinions to have. After all, every thing that has a name, every thing in... read more
Personality Pluto — Gate 41.3 ♒︎
Sign: Aquarius ♒︎ 04°24'47"
I'Ching: ䷨ Decrease
Planet theme: Truth and Transformation — Your truth, and where to find the light within the darkness.
Gate: 41 — Gate 41
Gate theme: The limitation of resources which maximizes development of potential.
Gate drive: Pressure to feel, the desire for a new experience.
Line: 3 — Efficiency
Line description:
One of the dilemmas of the collective process is that somebody always starts it. So in that essence there is always an individual, a single being, that starts to change events. When you are looking at the whole evolutionary process here you will see in the dualities of the lines, that the exalted tend to point towards doing things by myself, whereas the detriment says, "No, we have to involve everybody else." The third line is classic of this. Remember, that the third line is completing a process. It has qualities of the first and second line. It has completed the process in th... read more
Personality Chiron — Gate 3.5 ♉︎
Sign: Taurus ♉︎ 00°47'29"
I'Ching: ䷂ Difficulty at the Beginning

Gate: 3 — Gate 3
Gate theme: The fundamental challenge of initiation is to transcend confusion and establish order.
Gate drive: Brings order to the mutative pulse frequency
Line: 5 — Victimization
Line description:
The fifth line has this delicious name ‘Victimization.’ Remember the nature of its resonance to the second line. It projects out “I am confused.” When you get to the fifth line you have other people who project on the fifth line and say, “that one is confused.” The fifth line may or may not be confused. They may have already transcended the confusion and be totally in order. The other side is looking at them and says, “aha, they are confused. I am going to guide them and take advantage of them.” The moment that the outside force is guiding the ... read more
