“When we move to the Bonding Strategy the 4th line deals with the Confidante or Not.
And as we’ve seen, remember how difficult this is for the child. If you are a 4/6, when you are a child you really are a 4/3.
So at the unconscious level you’ve got a theme of Bonds Made and Broken, rather than Soul Mate or Not.
So what happens is, you begin by naturally being attractive to others in terms of your friendship capacity, but that part of you that says leave me alone, that part of you resonates to that unconscious 3rd line theme.
In other words, that makes it very easy to break the bonds. So this is a child that has a different ‘best’ friend every other day.
They can go to school and they can go through all kinds of different relationships. And, of course, breaking the bonds of those relationships is [about] something inside of it that they’re not finding.
Again remember what happens to them – because it’s 4th line, because it’s the opportunist – if they don’t wait to make the new friend, if they just leave one friend behind, it’s going to get more and more difficult as they go along to actually build a friendship with anyone! Even though they are attractive to the other.
So they go through this theme, and, of course, the 3rd line theme at the unconscious level is pessimism, not the optimism of the 6th line! Remember that all 6th lines go through this transition in their life, from being inherently pessimistic in the first 30 years to finally finding their optimism.
And the optimism comes from the moment of disengagement, so they have that opportunity to be able to see that there are possibilities, that they are out of the morass. But the 4/3 child is deep in the morass.
So this Confidante or Not – what happens to them is that they end up making a friend, they end up being a confidante, the bond is broken, and then whatever they said to that friend can get carried in the wind around them.
Basically what happens is that they can end up with a lot of negative energy focused on them.
They are inherently attractive – you want to make friends with a 4th line, you just do, it’s a natural thing. Remember – our auras do the talking!
A 4th line person puts their aura inside of you – they automatically open you up to friendship. Automatically!
So you have a lot of disappointed people with the 4/6 when they are young, because they don’t get the kind of bonding in that friendship that they expect.
And that 4/3 in that stage of its life will quickly break a bond when it does not get its opportunity soon enough.
Those opportunities begin with – after all as a 4/6 they want to be able to externalise the foundation: “My mother/father says...”
As a child, they want to get the foundation out. “This is the way things are,” they will say. And yet at the same time they will discover that there is resistance with others.
After all, the 3rd line will bring people into their lives that aren’t necessarily the right kind of friends for them – this is a bumping-into theme.
And they will be challenged in terms of what their authority really is – they’re going to be challenged in what’s fixed in them. And they are not going to like that!
Their response to that is “Leave me alone” and break the bond.
But it also creates pessimism at the unconscious level – that they become uncomfortable with what that foundation really is.
They become uncomfortable with whether or not that foundation is really secure.
Remember, in those first 30 years at the unconscious level they are an anarchist – they are really ready to tear things down – and for a 4/6 that can be devastating.
A lot of 4/6s crawl to the roof of the house feeling empty. Empty – it is a 4/6 quality!
They can be so disappointed through that 4/3 experience that they crawl up just feeling empty; that nothing is really there for them.
It changes the moment they get to their post Saturn Return.
When they crawl up on the roof they come to their 6th line theme – and that’s the Soul Mate or Not.
Think about what happens to any 6th line in that phase when it’s looking sexually at intimacy with others: all 6th lines have this process in which – because they’ve disconnected – they’re looking out around them to see if there is anyone who has a good relationship.
You will find that 6th lines will end up having affairs with their friends, or their friend’s lover.
Because they will notice after years of being friends – 4/6, being aloof, 6th line, observing – that their friends have a great relationship. And that would be a nice relationship for them to have.
So they finally see at that level that that’s interesting, and it’s a classic 6th line to say, “Well, I would really like that!”
And out of that friendship comes – you know, your wife makes love to your best friend, or your husband makes love to your best friend – it’s a very common phenomenon.
And it’s particularly common of 6th lines, because while they are not engaged, that part of them that is idealistic is looking out there for what its soul mate could be.
And remember that they are born to know what doesn’t work. When they see something that does work, it’s incredibly attractive to them.
So the nature of the 4/6 can be a real dilemma. After all, the 4 personality cannot have intimacy until they had friendship first.
That’s the first thing, that’s the only way that that’s ever going to work. So they have to have friendship first.
And, of course, what we’ve seen is that in the first 30 years they learn to be pessimistic about friendship, that it really isn’t something that necessarily works, and they may not have discovered that friendship leads to sexual intimacy, but instead simply lived out their frustration.
The moment that they go up onto the roof of the house their friendship opens them up to that possibility – but they are already aloof.
And then what they are looking for is, they are looking for what’s perfect! And they will wait! And it doesn’t mean – they get to a point where they assume it will never happen to them.
This is classic 6th line!
The only way they can keep themselves disengaged is by reminding themselves that things don’t work.
And by doing that they can see very clearly: “No, there is no such thing as a soul mate out there. It doesn’t work for anybody else – there is no reason for me to think that it’s going to work for me!” It’s part of the way in which they keep themselves from having to deal with that.
So imagine the dilemma for the 4/6 when it has to enter back into the world. It’s got to come down off the roof.
It has to do that, because if it doesn’t, we don’t get the juxtaposition. In other words, we don’t get to the transition, to the transpersonal. So in that moment when they come down off of the roof, when they come down the ladder, then they have to re-engage in relationship. And they have to re-engage in relationship as an example themselves.
At a spiritual level, for them to see that all relationships – when you are clear, and you are yourself – all relationships are soul mate relationships.
All relationships are perfect and are exactly what we should expect them to be.
At the moment you enter in clearly yourself, you discover that it is a myth that there is a special combination! It’s a myth!
All of us can have deep and enriching relationships with each other.
They don’t all have to be sexual, they don’t all have to be deeply intimate, but they can all be clean.
And in being clean we can appreciate what it is to be humans together. Which is what it’s all about!
To eliminate the resistance between us, to be able to see each and every one of us as members of the same blood type, blood field, this genetic grouping that we call humanity. That’s the real soul mate.
After all, we are all in this together. And we actually all belong to the same body.
So it’s kind of funny to assume that we are going to have to need some special combination in all of that.
We are all the special combination!”

@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 ...
Annnnd another thing. I have guilt motivation my transference is hope. When I read this, the hope transference sprung into mind and I laughed way harder than perhaps your average Joe would have 🤣🤭
Had to go see which gates are my 2nd lines - I only have 4 🤔
Conscious - Mars 32.2, Pluto 46.2
Unconscious- Mercury 19.2 (detriment), Uranus 6.2
Could be interesting (for me) to read those in the Line Companion.
I can link that in the comments ao you can check yours out too if you’d like :)
“To be lost in the knowledge and think that the knowledge itself can help you, that’s not true. The knowledge is for living.
This is what the 2 is like. It's what they’re like; it’s what they're waiting for.
And everybody sees them and they see they could be this, they could be that and they have no idea unless it's the person that really sees what's there, who calls it out.
And then it’s magical, they’re transformed. They are something else.
I've seen this in people, I've seen this in musicians, and I’ve seen this. It’s just something else. And then you get to see it.
The gift particularly in the 2nd line body when that gift has been nurtured, because the body has to be trained, it has to be properly nurtured, wow, what ...

Such power can either work generatively and creatively or it can become degenerative and destructive.
It all depends on that person's understanding of how their Sacral centre functions. Somebody with a defined Sacral centre can always be involved with activity, although this activity does not necessarily have anything to do with manifesting activity.
A defined Sacral generates a constant energy buzz in the body, and that humming energy has to go somewhere. It is often experienced as a restless motion like walking and not knowing where to go, or the need to just burn energy by moving along and being active.
It often generates the need to be involved in repetitive activity such as shuffling papers all day or ...

"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."
