Head Center Center [Open]
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 [Undefined]
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 [Defined]
Theme: ego, willpower, courage, willfulness, heart
Description: If you have a defined Heart Center, you like to be in control of your own life and your resources. That includes what you wear, when and where you work, and which demands on your time you will respond to. You also recognize your own value, although at times you may tend to inflate it. It is healthy for those with a defined Heart Center to exercise their willpower, to make and keep promises with regularity. With consistent access to their willpower, they have no problem making and keeping their promises or resolutions. It is important that they do what they say they are going... read more

Solar Plexus Center Center [Defined]
Theme: emotions, pleasure, feelings, sexiness
Description: THERE IS NO TRUTH IN THE 'NOW.' TRUTH REVEALS ITSELF OVER TIME. For those with a defined Solar Plexus Center, this is their place of personal Authority, and it operates as awareness over time. They are designed to wait through the ups and downs of the emotional wave before making decisions. It is not easy for them to be patient. The Solar Plexus is an immature emotional center driven by a motor, and it houses a lot of energy. Their task is to learn how to patiently harness the potential benefits of this energy as they flow with it. Their tendency i to jump in when they are h... 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

Gate: 27 — Gate 27
Gate theme: The enhancement of the quality and the substance of all activities through caring.

Line description:
The first line always establishes a foundation. When we were dealing with the sixth line of the 3rd hexagram which is called ‘Surrender,’ the very next hexagram is the 27.1. This line is called ‘Selfishness.’ Think about what caring is all about. The foundation of caring is Selfishness and if you look at this line, it has the Sun exalted and the Earth in detriment. Whenever you see Sun/Earth together in the same line, you know that this line has enormous impact. It is speaking for one of the basic structures that we have. Sun above/ Earth below. (the other lines with Su... read more

Gate: 28 — Gate 28
Gate theme: The transitoriness of power and influence.
Gate drive: Fear of Death/Purpose
Line: 1 — Preparation
Line description:
The first line is introspective. We know that about the nature of the first line. It is looking inward and the first line in the 28 is called ‘Preparation.’ The desire to be effective manifested in the application of energy to detail. If you look at the 32.1, it says, A life sustaining respect and attention to all aspects of a process. We are talking about the same process. The only thing is that this is individual. The change that has to be endured in the 32 is tribal. It is all about support. It is all about the tribe. This is an individual process where we have Ven... read more

Personality North Node — Gate 37.2 ♓︎
Sign: Pisces ♓︎ 07°21'22"

Gate theme: The manifestation macro and micro-cosmically of the organic nature of communities.

Line: 2 — Responsibility
Line description:
When you get to the second line, you get to projection. In getting to the second line, the projection is ‘Responsibility.’ This is the ashram line. It has Jupiter exalted, The understanding of the principle of individual responsibility as the foundation for successful cooperation. That is, "We all do it, but everybody does their thing." Whenever people have this line, I always tell them, "You can’t be in relationships or friendships in which other people are dependent on you, because you will always end up being the other side of this line, which is telling them what they... read more

Gate: 40 — Gate 40
Gate theme: The point of transition between struggle and liberation.
Gate drive: To deliver. The will to provide.
Line: 2 — Resoluteness
Line description:
When you are dealing with the second line, you are dealing with a light on inside the house, and people can see in. Wherever you have the second line, you have to learn in life that other people see things in you that you don’t see yourself. The 40th hexagram is about aloneness in the Ego sense, as we have seen. The Ego requires its time for rest. It seeks to be alone so that it is not pulled on as an Ego force. The second line does not know very much of being social and other people. Other people are walking by its house, looking through its window and say, "This one is alon... read more

Personality Moon — Gate 53.5 ♋︎
Sign: Cancer ♋︎ 19°25'16"
I'Ching: ䷴ Development
Planet theme: Driving Force — Emotions.
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: 5 — Assertion
Line description:
As I pointed out to you, that the first and the fifth line are unusual due to the aspect that they both have neptunian exaltation. In both cases, this exaltation is not functioning because we don’t have Neptune around in anybody. Actually, that is probably not true because there are a couple of people around who are over 115 years old. There may be a couple of people that are actually carrying that vibration. There is a guy in Lebanon who is 135 years old. He must have it. There may be a couple of remnants in the world, but what this is saying is much greater for us. Please r... read more
Personality Mercury — Gate 21.3 ♈︎
Sign: Aries ♈︎ 12°04'19"
I'Ching: ䷔ Biting Through

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: 3 — Powerlessness
Line description:
The third line is a line that is often totally misunderstood and misinterpreted. Whenever I meet 21.3’s, I do the best I can to correct them immediately about the nature of what this line is. Because of the keynote ‘Powerlessness,’ there is a false assumption connected to this. This is not about being without power. This is about the possibility of being powerless. An overview line, trial and error, Where the just are condemned to a futile confrontation with superior forces. This is the way logic works. If you break down what this sentence is actually saying, it says that... read more
Personality Venus — Gate 8.5 ♉︎
Sign: Taurus ♉︎ 28°39'17"
I'Ching: ䷇ Holding Together
Planet theme: Values and Sociology — Values
Gate: 8 — Gate 8
Gate theme: The basic worth realized in contributing individual efforts to group goals.
Gate drive: I can make a contribution or not. Unique self expression.
Line: 5 — Dharma
Line description:
First lines always tell you the essence of what that hexagram is about and fifth lines are always about how it is seen from the outside. The way that this individual contribution is seen from the outside is, that it is seen as something that is rooted in separation. In other words, the way in which the outside sees the individual through this fifth line is: Let us take advantage of their direction but leave them once we get there. This is great line of the taxi driver. This line is called ‘Dharma.’ Holding together does not exclude eventual separation. Successful union, aft... read more
Personality Mars — Gate 21.1 ♈︎
Sign: Aries ♈︎ 10°16'16"
I'Ching: ䷔ Biting Through
Planet theme: Immaturity and Energy Dynamics — Opportunity for growth.
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: 1 — Warning
Line description:
All first lines speak for the nature of the hexagram. ‘Warning’ is the basis of the 21 and its control. "Don’t interfere! Attention." The use of force as a last resort. In other words, in the use of power to be in control the worst thing is to start with force first. I learned this, many years ago, as a teacher. In public teaching institutions there were always those teachers who can never, ever control their students. They will threaten them. When that does not work, they will use force and the moment you use force, you cannot go any further. The moment that ... read more

Planet theme: Law and Protection — Defines our outer development, and relationship to the other and the whole.
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: 3 — Practicality
Line description:
The third line, the end of the lower trigram, deals with the theme of trial and error. Trial and error is very much in harmony with the whole process of maturation, because maturation is basically a trial and error process; going through one cycle and the next, and learning from your experiences. It is called ‘Practicality.’ Moon exalted, In its most natural position, the concentration on avoiding conflict to ensure protection and continued development. Avoiding conflict works in two ways: these are people that will only begin things when they have harmonic rela... read more
Personality Saturn — Gate 17.5 ♈︎
Sign: Aries ♈︎ 08°13'57"
I'Ching: ䷐ Following
Planet theme: Discipline (The Judge) — Place in your life where living out of alignment can cause turmoil and problems.
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: 5 — No Human is an Island
Line description:
The fifth line has a special significance. One of the things to recognize about the nature of this line is its resonance to the 18.5, which is its opposition. The 18.5 is the line of ‘Therapy.’ On one side the capacity To both seek and provide guidance and on the other side the Instability and the mental patient. Here you find the mirror of this. This is an important mirror, because what the fifth line in the 18 talks about is the inability to do it alone. Here we have the line of ‘No human is an island.’ It says, The recognition, however understood, that there is no en... read more
Personality Uranus — Gate 8.6 ♉︎
Sign: Taurus ♉︎ 29°50'23"
I'Ching: ䷇ Holding Together
Planet theme: Unusualness, Chaos and Order — How you express your unusualness/originality.
Gate: 8 — Gate 8
Gate theme: The basic worth realized in contributing individual efforts to group goals.
Gate drive: I can make a contribution or not. Unique self expression.
Line: 6 — Communion
Line description:
When you get to the 6th line, you get to the end of the process and you get to ‘Communion.’ It says, The certainty which grows out of harmony. Venus exalted, The awareness of patterns that ensures correct timing. This is one of the things that come out of the individual process which is the recognition, that without the correct timing, because individuals are rooted in their moods, contribution may not be successful. We all know this in one way or another, where you offer to make a contribution to somebody to offer them direction, if you offer it at the wrong time, no... read more
Personality Neptune — Gate 25.6 ♈︎
Sign: Aries ♈︎ 02°59'57"
I'Ching: ䷘ Innocence
Planet theme: Illusion and Spirituality — Where we lose the ability to see any limitations, potential for abuse.
Gate: 25 — Gate 25
Gate theme: The perfection of action through uncontrived and spontaneous nature.
Gate drive: Universal love, retaining innocence despite circumstances
Line: 6 — Ignorance
Line description:
Like any of these sixth lines we are dealing with, it is something that is outside of the basic nature of a hexagram. It is withdrawn from it. It is sitting above. Keep in mind that all of these sixth lines are going to flower soon. That is, when we step into the next cycle in 2027 and we are living in a sixth line instead of a first line theme, this is going to be the flowering of that, the opening up of the emotional spirit through the 55.6, the beginning of a process in which sixth lines are going to come into a different époque and really be part of their time. So we are i... read more
Personality Pluto — Gate 41.4 ♒︎
Sign: Aquarius ♒︎ 05°28'01"

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: 4 — Correction
Line description:
When we get to the upper trigram, you get to a different kind of process because the 4th and 5th lines are oriented towards the other end of the channel. They recognize the potential at the other side through definition. By their very nature, the 4th and 5th lines are the social lines because it is inherent in their genetic capacity to integrate and to look across the channel for the definition. Here, we are dealing with a very collective stream, with an experiential stream, a sexual stream, that means we are dealing with very powerful forces. The moment you come to the 4... read more
Personality Chiron — Gate 3.1 ♈︎
Sign: Aries ♈︎ 27°01'34"
I'Ching: ䷂ Difficulty at the Beginning
Planet theme: Wounded healer — exposing our deep pain, how we address that pain, and how our own healing powers have the ability to help others
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: 1 — Synthesis
Line description:
The third hexagram is about the generation of life itself. It is about what literally brings us into the world. As such the first line lays a foundation for what it is to be in the world. If you have the 3.1 and you are really introspective, the first thing that you know is that you are confused. What do you do about it? Nothing, because you know that somewhere down the line life will explain itself to you. If you have the first line and you don’t know that you are confused, then you are really confused. You think you really know what is going on and everything breaks d... read more
