Hey so, the end of the calendar year (but not the solar cycle) is upon us.
Have never really been someone who’s much about considering the past at a certain time of year.
Calendars and I are not especially well acquainted 🤷🏻♀️
One day blends into the next, one month and then one year follow suit.
Wondering as I type this if that phenomenon could be related to my 3x Gate 47 activations, which are always switched on (my defined Ajna) and have the quality of scanning the pieces and ultimately ‘making sense’ of the past as their flavor.
In other words, just another Tuesday …
And of course my Grinch gate approves (of skipping all that) - it just wants to get on with things, what is all this celebratory rigmarole anyway 🤣🙃🤷🏻♀️
But I do like that the Rave New Year gives us a break from the torture of New Year’s resolutions… and has a perspective to offer re. why it’s possibly an in-opportune moment to be doing such things anyway (besides the detail that 2/3 of humanity already has an undefined ego and has no business making any promises at all - ever).
That’s what this post is about.
Why New Years Eve isn’t exactly what we’ve always thought it to be.
The next cycle doesn’t actually begin until 3 weeks into the next calendar year.
But enough from me …
Bumped into this in Vanessa’s ‘Art of Being YOU’ FB group, I’ll let her and Mary Ann (and Ra explain):

When I learned about the Rave New Year it made so much sense as to why so many people "fail" keeping resolutions or starting something new.
If you are new to Human Design...and even if you aren't...I thought you'd like to understand the movements of the planets and the impact they have on us to complete the cycle through January 22, 2024.
And especially how attempting to create something new may not be in alignment at this time.

Hello to Each of You -
I want to wish you a beautiful holiday season no matter how you spend your days. And to give you a little look at the beginning of January - especially for those of you who may be new to Human Design.
It's a look at the new year from a Human Design perspective.
Soon the world will be celebrating the New Year when the clock strikes midnight on December 31 and we enter the year 2024.
In Human Design the new year does not begin until January 22. Most people are expecting a new beginning on January 1 and it’s a common practice to make New Years resolutions.
This can cause great disappointment because it’s not yet the new beginning. We’re actually still completing last year.
I came across a transit overview that Ra gave for January, 2004:
"The beginning of January begins with tension. It is often so difficult for the psychology of most of us in the west where we’ve been conditioned to celebrate the end of the cycle at the end of December, that we actually begin the new year at a tremendous disadvantage.
Those people that are making New Year’s resolutions, which seems to have become a habit amongst many people in the west, they wake up at the beginning of January and all they have is tension and problems related to the very thing that they’ve decided that they’re going to change.
And of course, invariably most people’s New Year’s resolutions simply fall apart.
And it’s not simply a matter that those are dusted away. It leaves a psychological scar.
It leaves a scar that says I’m not worthy, it leaves a scar that says I don’t have will power, so forth and so on, that I’ve been unable to keep my resolutions." - Ra
These days prior to January 22 are about reflecting on the past year.
As our minds reflect on the last cycle, I feel it’s important to not believe our minds if they start to judge the past year.
To be aware of the mind trying to say that this was “good” or this was “bad”. Or that you should have done “this” or “that”.
To reflect without judgement can be a wonderful journey. And it can be a perfect preparation for whatever comes in 2024.
The first part of January is about us completing the previous cycle so we can begin the new cycle.
Every year we pass through the same Sun/Earth movements. No matter what year it is – there is a specific pattern of the Sun/Earth that gives us themes that we must pass through before we can begin the new experience.
January 1 begins with a lot of tension.
Not a time to make resolutions for the next year!
The Sun/Earth are in the 38 and 39 which is part of the cross of tension.
Below, you will see a very simple overview of what we will pass through until we get to January 22, 2024 – the New Rave Year at 13:18 GMT.
Please note that the dates used below are based on 00:00 GMT so it shows January 23 as the Rave New Year.
You can further investigate these transits and go deeper. [Andrea isn’t planning to - this is plenty for me].
What I have given is a very simple explanation of the themes we meet in order to complete the old year and begin the new year.
The New Rave Year begins when the Sun enters Gate 41 – the initiating codon of all human experience [I have Gate 41 defined]
It is the beginning of a new experience.
The New Rave Year always begins with the Cross of the Unexpected [🥳].
The unexpected is such a beautiful beginning.
When we no longer let our minds run our life, the new – something we have never lived before – is always possible.
It is only when our minds have authority over us that we miss the new because the mind just repeats the same old patterns of behavior.
Meeting life as oneself – whatever type we are and whatever authority we may have is a precious gift.
Not only do we move through life with awareness, but we stay forever young no matter how old our body may be.
When we are grounded and aligned in our strategy and authority, we can meet anything that life brings.
We were born to be able to meet it and we have what we need to meet it.
But we can only meet it as ourselves - otherwise we are tossed around in turbulent waters trying to deal with life.
I resonate so deeply to the word ‘frequency’. To me it is the music that is our unique song that is transmitted when we are living our true nature.
Lao Tzu said "Music in the soul can be heard by the Universe".
For me, self-love is the music of the soul.
I wish everyone the experience of self-love and the continual flowering of it within - especially as we begin the New Rave Year and move a step closer to 2027.
Happy Holidays!
Until next time,
Love from
Mary Ann

@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."
