“This is the Gate of Aliveness, The Joyous; the Right Angle Cross of Service. If there was ever a cross that could give you a pain in the neck, this is it. Whenever you see a cross that has a definition you know that this is a deeply dynamic theme. Obviously, everyone who has this cross has the definition. And this definition is the 18/58. We know what the 18/58 is. This is the cross of dissatisfaction. We can call it what we like. We can call it the cross of service, but it is only of service if you're born with it.
This is one of the most fascinating hexagrams there is not a single line here that you grow into. You're either born with it or not; no development; it‘s there. You look at the hexagrams; you‘ll see that it‘s very, very rare to see there's not a single blue introduction in the whole thing. So, there's something very unique about the 58th gate. The description of The Joyous is: Stimulation is the key to joy. Basta; nothing else.
You can see that this is the gate that seeks life. I think the 58th gate is beautiful; it‘s just unfortunate it‘s married to the 18. It‘s like these couples that you meet where you meet one and then one day you meet the other one and you go, oh my God, I like this one over here. How did you two get together? I look at the 58 and say are you crazy? How could you fall for that 18? It doesn‘t make sense. You‘re full of this joy and life and wonder and you have the 18 on the other side saying no, no, no, no. It‘s one of those relationships I simply do not understand. Look at that 1st line: Love of Life. The 18 is on the other side going, it‘s not enough. How can I love life when my father is such a jerk? How can I love life when I still have my mother telling me what to do? The 18 sort of jumps in there and it puts its thumb on this joyousness. And the 58 doesn't care because it‘s not aware. It keeps on pumping out the joy like a puppy. For me, the 58th gate is this wonderful puppy. It‘s full of love and joy and laughter and there is this mean bitch that keeps on beating it because it‘s shitting on the carpet. And the puppy doesn‘t care that it‘s shitting on the carpet. It enjoyed the shit. It was wonderful; it felt good. And then whack, whack and all of a sudden this little puppy goes, what did I do; the 58 puppy.
The Love of Life: The very stimulation of the world is the basis of an aesthetic appreciation, blah, blah, blah. However, in the blah, blah business this is the channel. So you can see what happens to the 58. It is a blessing that this thing is not conscious, not aware, because if it really was, it would be so depressed. And it isn‘t. It‘s this endless font of this energy, but you can't see this cross without seeing the 18 with it. You just can't.
So, love of life feeds the zealot. Life would be wonderful if all you idiots would just straighten up. That's what it becomes. Life would be full of joy it wasn‘t for all you stupid people. And it‘s true. If you meet one of these that‘s exactly what they‘re like. Judgment—this is the channel of Judgment. And only the collective has a right to judge, and it does. No matter how much the individual rails against collective judgment, it‘s there. The collective has a responsibility. We do not perfect our patterns without critical attack. We don't protect our patterns without challenge. We don't. The very Oedipus/Electra nature of the 18th gate has shown us that in most civilized societies, as we have progressed, the relationship between parent and child has changed. And it's changed through those challenges, generation after generation after generation.
But for me, when I look at the 58 by itself, I look at this gate and I think wow that is such an amazing energy. In the same way that the 41, because they‘re mirrors, the 41 says there are so many things we can do. And the 58 says yeah, and we‘ll like all of it. It‘s wonderful. I always want the 58 and the 41 to get together and create a new channel. The channel is every fantasy is joy in reality. It would be a great channel. But instead, they both go to jerks. The 41 ends up with a 30 hat says nanananananaa. And the 58 goes over to the 18 and the 18 says, what are you, a stupid puppy? It‘s not so easy.
It‘s like here in Ibiza, the locals. Not so much anymore, but in the past when you go into a Latin country, these southern countries and rural countries, you get to see the children are treated in a way that's really remarkable. They are exalted, loved, they are given as much as the relative economics will allow, but all of that is, by the time you get to a certain age you're going to have to work hard for the rest of your life. You're going to have to work so hard. And you see these kids by the time they're 18 or younger in the old days, you suddenly see them in the family business, they‘re behind the counter, they‘re making the coffee, they‘re doing the work. They‘re immediately into the burden and the relationship is different, instantly. You get your little time for joy. You can be a puppy and we‘ll pat you as a puppy, but just remember something; the time is coming when being a puppy doesn‘t work anymore.
So, when you're dealing with this cross you're dealing with people who love life and hate people for fucking it up. It really is what it is. They love life, and they see that life is ruined because people are incompetent or stupid or whatever the case may be. And they want to fix it. It usually starts with: I could have a wonderful life if it wasn't for my parents. It always starts with the dysfunctional Penta, it starts with this, you come into the world and immediately you meet all of these forces that control you, impact you.
What you get to see out of this Cross of Service is an old joke in that to be of service for the other is rooted in being of service for oneself first. They want to be able to love life, but from the collective perspective, you can only love life if everybody loves life so you can share loving life. And of course, that's not the way of the world. So, these beings are very judgmental and they try to bring an essential service. That service is to awaken humanity to the potential of loving life if they get the pattern right. And there you get to the part of the collective that makes individual shiver, because the collective says the love of life works this way. And you're going to do everything we tell you to do. You‘re going to work the way we tell you to do. You‘re going to live the way we tell you to do. You‘re going to behave the way we tell you to do. You‘re going to do all of these things and if you follow the pattern that we give you, you will end up being satisfied and you will love life. It doesn‘t always work that way, obviously.
The 58 that is a 1/3 gets to see that the only joy it's going to get out of life is correcting other people. Think about that. The smile on a 18/58s face when they're describing how stupid you are—it doesn't even have to be a smile, because the smile is always there. They love telling you. They love it. They walk into your really clean house and they see that one place where there is dust and they just love to tell you. You want to strangle them because you know that they're enjoying it.”

Thanks Emiro Parra
@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."
