Why Human Design?
In 2018 I booked an astrology reading with Ophi, one half of The Astro Twins (astrostyle.com). I was clearly searching for the answers to questions I’d not uncovered. It’s fair to say she blew my mind, we became friends and I’ve been intrigued by her skills ever since. She taught me how to read my own chart and time zones allowing (New York vs UK) we’ve continued on the journey of emotional intelligence, secrets to success and all the things. So, it’s no wonder that when she started digging into Human Design, she got me in the rabbit hole alongside. She introduced me to Erin Claire Jones’ work and the rest is history. I learnt the language of human design, on me and my family first and then on all my clients, strategies, plans and futures that now made a whole lot more sense.
I believe in pulling all the levers available to us to navigate life and achieve the dreams that get us out of bed. Human Design gave me a kind of permission slip to be myself and trust in my path. In fact, since understanding my chart (6/2 emotional generator with some pivotal defined gates and some open centres that require better boundaries) I’ve totally rebranded my business of 8 years (which is a story in itself) and I’ve set myself better plans that align and I’ve practically stopped any tension between me and my husband. Our tension is often short lived, but like all relationships, we experience the good, the bad and the ugly. We believe in giving a shit about each other and that makes it possible to work through the challenges. At the time of writing, he’s having treatment for cancer, I’ve had cancer and we’ve a desire to break generational cycles, so health, emotional wellbeing, financial empowerment are part of our daily chat, alongside what we’re having for dinner. Now I understand his design - I can’t actually describe how much more flow is back in our life (I can, but I’ll do that another time).
I’ve done it with my daughter too and now, she’s becoming more her own woman than before. It starts with me, I go first. I learnt more about myself through my own design, and that’s saying something for me, I’m as curious as they come, I ask questions of myself (and those I’m with - in a good way) all the time. I love the joy of doing something better, feeling better and believing that I can get on a call with a client and know they will leave armed with something they’ve not had before.
I’m a body-first girl. I know my body is more switched on that me, it tells me that all the time. When I listen and act I can do anything. If I get into a rut and choose to ignore, rebellion sets in. You’d think it was an easy choice - yet our human condition clouds that clarity more times than we care to admit. My design gives me the data I need to breeze past the BS. And I know it can do with anyone who works on their own design. That’s why I use it everyday. I even got a certification - which for anyone who knows anything about capriscorn risings.. you’ll be like - yeah - obviously!
So, in this brief synopsis of why I am a HD fan, it’s because it’s gives you the inner knowledge you may have been missing. Even if it’s only the authority you work with, that has the potential to revolutionise how you decide in ways that eliminate second guessing. I’m an emotional authority, it means I’m a wave walker, the emotional highs and lows are part of me, yet so the neutrality. Each high, low and mid ground gives me a different energy, none are to be avoided yet I’d spent a good 40 years dong just that. Classically emotional authorities will use things to numb the low and get too excited in the high, there’s a whole lot of eating, drinking and shopping in there that serves no purpose when you know how to ride the wave. My husband is a sacral authority. The most decisive people around. It’s a yes or a no and a don’t know is a no. It’s as simple as that. I could go on! If it’s intriguing, check out your own design, and if you’re even more intrigued, book a SHIFT call with me and let’s design together!
