“So when we get to the 4/1 we’re getting to a very different kind of being.
Yesterday we looked at the 1/4, which is its harmony, but the 1/4 is deeply involved in the personal destiny process and it’s part of the right-angle process – and the 4/1 is not.
Think about the nature of Fixed Fate to begin with – just these two lines. The moment when you’re dealing with the 4th line we know that the 4th line is fixed.
It’s fixed in its way and it’s there to externalise and be influential.
Remember the influence inherent in all 4th lines.
At the unconscious level it is a 1st line, and this is the foundation.
The nature of the 4/1 is that the 4/1 is an oak tree.
And looking at the 4/1 as an oak tree – this is a solid, fixed being.
That oak tree – well, maybe one of the branches might bend a little, but it doesn’t bend on the whole.
You can chop it down, you can break it and burn it, but you can’t expect it to bend.
The 4/1 has only one purpose in this life: through its fixed fate to be able to influence others with its foundation.
That’s its job in life. That’s what they are here for. They are not here to bend.
They can be broken, and the way in which they can be broken is if they don’t have a proper foundation.
Think about what we’ve learned about the 4th line and the need for a benefactor during their period of dependency, and how important it will be for the 4/1 to be able to have a benefactor that provides it with opportunities for education.
All 1st lines are natural investigators. When I say education, that doesn’t necessarily mean that it has to be formal in the way we understand it.
It is at the moment when there is a deep interest that the 4/1 is going to express about anything, that a benefactor that is there to be able to help them, get access to that, to get into that, is going to be very important for them in their lives.
They are going to spend their adult life trying to influence everyone.
And if you are looking for a friendly type, you’re never going to meet a friendlier type than a 4/1.
They have an enormous gift of being able to ingratiate themselves
But after all, they are very fixed. If you don’t like their trip, you’re not going to be able to successfully stay in a friendship with them, because they have their fixed way.
The 4/1 is not looking for everyone to agree with them – they don’t have to have everyone to agree with them.
But the moment they discover that somebody doesn’t agree with them, it’s better for both of them to shut up about the subject they don’t agree with, because otherwise the 4/1 is just going to disappear.
It’s not going to hang around and consistently meet with criticism about the nature of its foundation and how it is expressing it.
It’s very important for the 4/1 to be secure. When they are secure, they can really be a tremendous influence in their community, but they follow a very, very fixed way.
And where they’re going in this life and how they’re going to get there is truly written in a sense. This is a very fixed geometry.
The thing about them is, they’re going to have their own way, so they can appear to be quite different. They can appear to be quite unusual and they can appear to be extraordinarily stubborn.
One of their ways of dealing with that is being friendly.
The friendlier they are, the less likely it is that people are going to explode on them because of their fixed stubbornness – “No, the world is not flat, you idiot!”
And, of course, there they are, solid as a rock.
If they do go around the world and discover that they don’t fall off, they can die from the shock.
No joke!
In other words, the responsibility – you can see that 4th lines bring parental responsibility much more than any other profile.
And it’s essential to see the need in that dependency to be nurtured. And particularly with the 4/1, because they are going to live such a fixed life, and that their sense of well-being is always going to be determined by how deep the foundation is.
If you look carefully, if you look at the 6.1, it’s part of the whole business of intimacy, but more important, that out of the 6th gate all of the emotional waves are created. It’s the foundation of our emotional experience. The 1st line of the 6th gate in its detriment is all about the inferiority complex.
It’s one of the things to recognise about all 1st lines: the 1st line profiles are always carrying within them an inherent inferiority complex that’s waiting.
And this inferiority is, when they do not feel like they have a solid foundation. And the moment they don’t feel like they have a solid foundation, they immediately can get caught up in an inferiority complex about it.
Now imagine what happens to a 4/1 whose fixed fate is to externalise the foundation, their foundation.
It’s not a 4/6 that can externalise the foundation that they see in their aloofness. They can externalise somebody else’s foundation, they can externalise somebody else’s truth.
But when you’re dealing with the 4/1, they’ve got to externalise their own.
So they have to have the depth, and because they’re 4th lines it means that it’s going to have to be nurtured in them.
One of those things to understand is that there are four different kinds of 4/1s, like there are four different kinds of every other profile.
There is a 4/1 Manifestor, a 4/1 Generator, there is a 4/1 Projector and a 4/1 Reflector.
They are very different. But they are all 4/1s.
But how you’re going to bring that 1 to the nurturing, how you’re going to nurture them through the foundation that they need to be solid – that’s going to be according to their type.
The 4/1 Projector has to be invited to knowledge, has to be invited to a career, whatever the case may be.
And if you have a 4/1 Reflector you’re going to have to recognise that – unless you take all the pressure off of them to make any decision until they’ve gone through at least a 28-day-cycle of the Moon, and that during that time you talk to them about it – only then are you going to give them their opportunity to be able to enter into something correctly that will give them the solid foundation in their life that will allow them to be an influence later. It’s always going to be according to their type…
The moment that you see that the purpose is to be a 4/1 in this life, then it’s necessary to find the way as a parent – and again I’m speaking from that perspective – as a parent to be able to bring up your child in a healthy way to find what is necessary for them, to find the introspection that turns them on, to find the subject that they are ready to investigate.
Then they can reach that point of influence, so that you know when they go out of the nest – hopefully before they are 40 – that when they go out there into the world, that they not only can stand and stand the pressure that will be around them, but in that they will be a deep influence. They will have within them the ability to truly get information out and transmit that information to other people.
Now obviously what you have in this world is an endless number of 4/1s – I’ve trained I think four of them now – you have an endless number of 4/1s who never had the nurturing.
They could have been lucky after all. You know, some of us are lucky in terms of getting nurturing that’s suitable to our design.
I had an individual mother – I was very lucky.
She always used to say, “Leave him alone – he’s different!” I was lucky.
If I’d have had a collective mother she would have been freaked out every other moment. You know, that’s just the luck of the draw.
And what we have to do is to make sure that it’s not the luck of the draw anymore.
That everybody has the right at least to have those around them who have to care for them and nurture them, to understand them and themselves, in order to provide a healthy environment for growth, and then we have 4/1s that are very valuable to us.
Remember, in the genetic continuity of things they are a major link. They are a force that bring left angle and right angle together. They’re a merging point – I’ve watched them in group situations and they are wonderful.
You can see their ability to commune in that sense with anybody at any level in that spectrum. They just can, very naturally.
And yet at the same time you realise that nothing is going to change them and nothing is going to affect them.
In a conversation it doesn’t matter what the other person says. I mean they take it in, but it does not matter – they will not change their way. They have their way, they have their foundation, and they want to externalise that.”

@Carizma22 3/5 splenic P, has said yes to sharing this 😍
I love it when I get to be privy to an ‘experiment progress report’ from one of our Locals members.
Wanna celebrate with me? 🥳🤩🙌🏽
This next one is a tale of Carole’s undefined solar plexus adventures, originally posted in a Projector fb group.
Cool witnessing Carole! 🤗
Thread gist in comments (screenshots) and a somewhat messy screen grab video of the video recommended in one of the OP comments she received included below (above?🤓)
And there’s a short video of @BeyondBeautiful and me first talking about “avoiding confront and truth” which includes a story I often have told about John and the very first real time glimpse I saw this undefined solar plexus dealie irl. Can find.
Blew my mind.
I know there are several splenic Authority folks in here, maybe you have stories to share too?
"Some ideas take decades"
This is pretty inspiring. She reckons she's finally finished her apprenticeship at 70 💜
Fun add-on HD irl example - this was shared in Vanessa's group on FB, The Art of Being You by another appreciative group member (thank you Kathrin 🤗), and I first watched it a few hours ago.
I immediately thought what a great share it would be in here 🤩 but it landed pretty quickly on my 'roundtooit list.
Maybe to get shared here, maybe not. Tbh, the hold up was that I didn't really want to share a FB link in here, so I was looking (investigating) around to see if it was on another platform.
Hadn't found it yet.
Then it turns out that @NaimR wasn't able to view it from Canada (someone is blocking it for Canada ? wha?) and she said as much on the thread in Vanessa's group.
And you know what kicks in?
My Design (19/49 and Markets internal in particular), which had me heading this way anyway - at some point ... maybe... but I always get a little boost of focus from ...
There were three roller coasters 🎢 we had on or radar for the last hour before the rides closed.
Wasn’t to be, but we did find this nice place to sit and wait out the deluge that started right after we grabbed a great smoked BBQ supper.
And ooh it cooled everything off perfectly. And gave us some rest before we found our way back to the car (which was parked on the very first row of priority parking 🥳)
Ahhhh nothing to do, so much nothing to do 🥳🥰🍿
This is a post and audio from @BeyondBeautiful - Valerie Montgomery, Self Projected Projector
"I wanted to make this breakfast and found myself rushing.
Now, you might be interested to know I have Alternating Determination, which means I need to do things “One Thing At A Time,” which turns out to be the title of the song I made up to shift the energy of starting to make this breakfast.
I also have an Undefined Root, so it always feels like I need to get rid of the pressure. Also known as feeling rushed to do things.
It would have been lovely to have my cat fix my breakfast, and I had the time, so..
Also being Self Projected my authority comes out through my speaking, or in this case, singing."
Great awareness and share, thank you Valerie! 💜Not sure that's the right title for this, but it's what came out so I'm rolling with it.
This story began in a FB group. Where many of my stories do.
I can't actually remember the thread or how we ended up in messenger, but the reason we did was because 5/1 Projector with Gate 1 on an undefined G center ... had music of hers to share but hasn't been able to share it so far.
Am still waiting to see if the rest of the story gets shared with me.
So she asked me what sort of music I liked and did I want something more abstract (I think it was) or a vocal cover. I chose vocal cover and she picked this one.
I felt it to my core.
Not sure if part of that was related to some of what she'd already (not intentionally) told me ... 5th line folks can take a lot of patience to draw out - that's been my experience so far anyway.
Some feel interesting enough to spend the energy on :) That's true here.
A kind of sidenote to this is that both my Uranus Opposition (40ish yo) and Chiron (50ish yo) charts carry a 3/5 and it feels like, though I'm not a 5th line - I do sort of get ...

"There is one big key to understanding Projectors, and it can only be found by looking at the bigger picture.
We know that statistically, Projectors make up 21% of the population. That means that for every five people, more or less, there is one Projector.
Those are interesting numbers, especially when they are considered within the context of how Gene Pools operate.
There is a mysterious circuit within the Bodygraph that is curiously known as the WA. The WA holds the secret to the choreography of all human gene pools.
One day, when these aspects of Human Design are explored in more depth, we will be able to see how groupings of individual designs come together in the same way as cells bind together to create the organs within our bodies.
For those who baulk at the idea that we have no choice, this is frightening stuff.
The WA shows how different human designs are collectively organised and herded together to perform certain functions within the greater body of humanity.
Imagine then, that humanity is a body like your own body. There are only 4 types of cells, each with their own sub-programming.
At one extreme, you have a small amount of ‘rogue’ cells, independent bodies that are designed to operate outside the loop of the mainframe programming. Ironically however, these manifestor cells are just as dependent upon the whole as any other type. They are simply programmed to appear independent.
At the other extreme, you have a tiny percentage of early-warning cells – these unusual cells have no programming of their own but are designed to take accurate readings of any cellular environment they move through.
In every sub-culture you will find a few of these cells reflecting the health of the local environment. Their role is to warn the overall intelligence of the body of any potential disruptions to the organism. They are called reflector cells.
The bulk of the cellular life of the body (91%) is made up of the two most common kinds of cell – generator cells and projector cells.
These 2 types are designed to interlock with each other. The generator cells collectively create the life of the organism. They are pure energy cells buzzing day and night, maintaining and building the whole.
Projector cells are unique. They have no propulsion of their own, so they drift around on the endless energy currents created by the generator cells.
You might imagine how easy it would be for a projector cell to feel that it had no purpose within the body.
However, each projector cell actually has a very specific purpose (some have more than one), but that purpose can only be realised when certain energy cells (generators) dock in with the projector cell to receive instructions.
Since the projector has no propulsion, it is powerless to initiate this process, but has to allow the generator cells to recognise them and dock in within their own timing. This recognition process takes place through a coded lock and key programme built into these 2 types at birth.
In other words, every projector holds multiple keys that fit an enormous array of locks. When a key does not fit a lock it is very obvious!
Through the knowledge of the WA, we know that the basic genetic unit is 5. These human groupings of mainly generators and projectors are also known as ‘Pentas’.
The nuclear family is a family of five.
Statistically, that is four generators and one projector. As an archetype, the role of this fifth projector is to maintain the stability of the 4 generators.
Right, this next part is where it gets spooky, so hang on to your seats and try and stay with me!…
Just as this fifth projector draws together the 4 generators to form a penta, this penta then takes on a life of its own. It also seeks something greater to dock into, and this is known as an OC16.
Pentas (groups of 5 human beings) seek out another projector, known as an alpha. Alpha projectors naturally dock together with three pentas, making 16 people (including the alpha).
The moment you have 16 people together, you actually have the foundation of an entire gene pool, which then continues to grow exponentially.
Right. I am going to stop there. Whether you were able to follow any of that or not, I am trying to make a point – which is that if you are a projector, you are genetically coded to have others (specifically generators) recognise you and approach you.
This is the foundation of the success of humanity as a species. The projector’s role is pivotal for life to be coherently organised.
But there is a great irony to it all for the projector – which is that there is nothing for them to do until they are recognised.
Every projector knows when the key fits. Every cell in their body lights up.
They also know when it only ‘sort of’ fits.
Those are the critical moments for projectors. If the fit is not perfect, they have to smile sweetly and turn away.
So how long does a projector have to wait? Well, forever.
There is a deep secret for projectors going through their deconditioning – that is, waiting itself transforms the cells.
The relief of not trying to make keys fit when they do not want to fit, releases a huge pressure from the projector’s life.
But it is also clear from my own experience of observing projectors that they are not always able to immediately throw away keys that do not fit.
Sometimes those keys may provide their livelihood, and they have to hold on to them until they find the correct keys to replace them. That takes courage – to wait knowing something is wrong and you are powerless to change it.
I have a vast admiration for any projector going through their deconditioning, and I have also learned that I can never move forward in life without the presence of projectors in key roles around me.
Projectors, if you cannot be patient, there is no hope for any of us…"
This is a little outside of my 'care' zone, but can see the things we've trusted faltering.
I think Human Design is here to offer people awareness to be able to weather what would otherwise feel like impossibly stormy times.
Lucky us 🤗
Also, what a cool picture Chaitanya found 😍

"The knowledge was given so that human beings could be equipped to live in an age in which there was nothing they could trust.
This is what the Cross of Planning has brought us. It’s brought us an age of, within reason, trust.
That the trains will run on time, that the electricity will be there, that all of those things will work, that our children will have teachers in their schools, that the garbage will be picked up and on and on and on.
All the things that the Cross of Planning has brought us, the institutionalization of science and the spreading of all kinds of technologies that enhance the potential for the increase in human population, the increase in the potential of the gene pool, the increase in the potential for the unusual, the mutative.
Human Design is not about the time of the Cross of Planning. Human Design knows the plan. It’s not about that at all. It's about bringing the possibility of the richness of life to the next generation.
If the stellar family teaches us anything it’s that even the gods, even the remotest forces in the stream are concerned about the generations and the movement of information.
There are certain stars in the sky that could not exist until other stars had died. The fact that human beings and certain brain functions, elements in our brain, that can only exist after the death of stars, we are so deeply connected to them. We live very close to one. That is our shelter and our light."
