My only Penta gate is 31 (Administration) which in this chart that Koen shared says “how are we spending our resources?”
And boy oh boy does that have to be invited.
It’s also not really what I’m here to be recognized for, more like a capacity for work within the Penta - the piece my Design contributes to the Penta. It creates expectations. I find it’s a bit of a trap.
Also reminds me of my 19/49 channel - sensitivity for the needs of others (in the tribe).
Both of these activations in my Design conflict and distract to a dregree from my Outer Authority potential.
“Need” is my transference and my ultimate outer authority is about nurturing through care of the individual first - the exact opposite of Penta concerns.
Except that - healthy individuals perhaps make for healthier Pentas 🤔
For the most part though, for me, that’s just a possibly happy byproduct - for a Penta.
But I’m generally not built for them and get very little from gatherings. The exception being reunion type adventures - the Markets coming together of the clans for trade and reconnecting.
Planet Andrea is one of those clans for me 🥰
So yeah, how ARE we spending our resources 🤔
Uggh that sentence really does feel like work … rife with strategy too 😅… all not me.
We are a mixed bag of trickiness, eh??
Now here’s Ra -
“It is the penta which establishes the way in which we reach any broader communion. It is one of the jokes in my life. I am not per se somebody that is a penta person. My particular activations are extraordinarily unimportant let’s put it that way in a penta construct.
The moment that I am in my family penta is the moment that I am at the lowest level in the organization. My role is very constricted by the way in which I operate within the penta. It is one of the reasons I operate the way that I do, I spend as much time as I can out of pentas because they are not constructive for me. It is something to grasp our whole lives are dictated by these things, and they are there, they are the future not us. This is in so many ways a deep underlying dream in humanity, a nightmare really, this dream of surrendering to a larger whole. Well, the penta is that force.
It is that force that takes from us we are not consciously surrendering, takes from us essential ingredients in order to bring those ingredients together in order to dominate our lives with them...
See the Penta is unlike a human being. In the mechanics of a human being the movement of energy it can move in any way, it is the basic binary of what it is to be us, you know, the way the energy moves in a channel that you have defined, it can move from one end to the other or the other end back. It doesn’t make any difference, you know, it is multidirectional in that sense.
But the moment that you look at a penta, you see the penta is something else. Eh? That penta is something that is in essence unidirectional! That the energy that is here in these four areas, that those energies can only move upwards through this configuration in the centre. The energy doesn’t move backwards, it doesn't move back and forth, it is unidirectional. And it says something very implicit about the nature of penta itself. That penta is something that is deeply focussed on the unidirectional movement. And it is this power of unidirectional movement that pulls everyone along with it that’s part of that penta.
But there is something else about penta that’s really interesting. See the direction for penta is always material. Always material, always! I mean, I cannot stress that enough! See again, we come back to the dilemma of what it is to be a bio-form, you know? It’s a real dilemma.
Because the whole thing about being a bio-form is that in order for us to survive we need to be able to feed ourselves. We do! We need to be able to accumulate material, we need to be able to provide for our safety, our protection, our shelter; it goes on and on and on. We are in fact rather fragile.
And this whole material demand in us, you know, I have seen it over and over again, that people look at designs. You know, every 3rd line has a material nature, I mean, any bio-form is going to have a certain material demand that is inherent in it. But materialism, you know, the ‘ism’ as we understand it, is not something that can be attributed to human kind.
Materialism is the whole purpose of the penta. It is its whole purpose. It is the thing that keeps the material dynamic of life, it is the thing that keeps it most at the front which is why throughout our history, since our tribes are built on pentas, that ultimately form gene pools, that everything about our tribes is an aggressive development of, you know, their material power.
Every tribe is trying in that sense competing with other tribes in order to be able to ensure that they have the materiality that’s necessary. This is all penta! It’s all penta! And it’s something to grasp about the basic family construct and it’s something that, no matter how you look at it, it’s something that has to be understood objectively. Families and the success of families is rooted in their capacity on the material plane.
Now, like with anything that exists in the spectrum, you are going to have all kinds of variations. But it is something really to grasp that the, you know, for example, the material strength of a family, you know, that material strength is something that, you know, all pentas strive for. The more material success of the particular penta, the more likelihood that the offsprings are going to be well nourished, are going to be healthy and are going to be capable of fulfilling their reproductive destiny.
I mean, again, when you think about anything that is a controlling agent of what we are, and does not think, because this is not a thinking entity, you know, this is not! I mean, it’s the thing that is so interesting about it, it is a directional force. And it is this directional force that controls the nature of our lives. It does!
And it doesn’t matter whether you have, you know capitalist or socialist tendencies intellectually this or that, no matter how you look at the nature of the world, everything about the nature of the world is about material. It just is! It just is! You know, it’s like the privilege you have because you have the material to be able to participate in this program. You know, the world is material, whether it is about, you know, great truth or great lies.
And it’s really something that instead of laying this at the feet of human kind, to really understand that this is the organizing agency. And it’s not like it is bad, you know, it is always a good/bad stuff. It’s always there, it’s always a binary. It’s simply about seeing that in this movie, as we live out our existence as bio-form that we are being controlled by what are deeply material forces.
You know, the family is the first business. It is! And the survival of the family, you know, the bread winner whatever their, whatever connotation you want to bring to that. From the moment that family exists is the moment that the material imperative becomes its most powerful. We all know 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."
