It's the middle of the night.
It's been a decent amount of time since I felt moved to write a post in the middle of the night (not the same as curating from elsewhere - different kinds of content).
But this is one of those moments when it feels like if I don't get the thing down on paper as it's coming clear, it'll vanish. Of course, with a Right Mind, that happens all the time and my Open Head discernment has had to be conditioned to be vigilant.
Moments of 'ah hah' around my own Sun/Earth gates are definitely FOR this open head š
So here's what happened -
After reading and posting this (and reading it again):
https://planetandrea.locals.com/post/5666195/your-gravitational-home-earth
I was lead to search for and read my sun/earths again, but this time all at once via the Line Companion (am linking what I've copied the line description below from in the comments, so you can do the same if that interests you).
The image is the abbreviated versions of the same Gate/Line - screenshot is from GeneticMatrix and is essentially as it appears in the [Un]Definitive Book of HD (am linking this in the comments too).
The Line Companion has much more context.
Anyway - check out my Design (Unconscious) Earth in particular. This is NOT my Outer Authority, which is tied to Personality (Conscious) Sun/Earth. Not something I'm here to deliver understanding of per se to the other - it's for me.
Talk about #3rdlinelife (which for me is this Body/Form Wisdom/Unconscious side) having to be experiential ... it feels like there's a direct tie to this Gate of mine and the dilemma of "Polar Opposites in my DM" I expanded on here:
If we think of Gates as filtering agents ... and know that 3rd line must find its way via trial and error ... and omg what an annoying PIA that is ... then that post is pretty on point. My 3rd line Gates get filtered and only gain wisdom by "going through the trial and error" - blargh.
Having that juxtaposition of "followers" in my inbox simultaneously - was essentially a perfect storm for driving the understanding of that gate (my Design Earth 31.3) home. The second paragraph in particular.
Gate 31.3 - Selectivity
"The nature of a third line is that, in a sense, it is combining the qualities of the first and second line, the qualities of introspection and projection. It puts them together into this potential for adaptation. When you get to this third line, you get to the key to successful political leadership which lies here.
It is called Selectivity, which is about recognizing first of all, who should be a follower? This is so important in terms of influence. If you influence somebody that cannot implement your pattern, there is very little impact. If you influence somebody that can implement your pattern, it will have a lot of impact. This is the whole nature of selectivity.
It is not about how many people support you. It is about what is the quality of that support? Who are they?
Sun exalted. The ability to carefully assess and choose the proper influence and to tailor one's behavior accordingly. Think about that because there is a kind of twist in that. The politician has to be influenced by the follower, so we have all of these followers. They have lobbies and causes and they all have their way that they try to influence the person who actually acts as the leader.
The leader has to recognize that every follower that they have has their own agenda. They have to carefully select what influences they want to accept from their followers in order to maintain their role as a leader of those followers.
So, they have to be very careful and clear about with what those followers want to influence them, so that they can be their guide, in that sense.
On the other side, we have Jupiter in detriment. Qualitative selectivity with the risk of a runaway enthusiasm that may lead to humiliation. "You want to follow me? Oh, that is wonderful. Let me give you all of this stuff to transfer."
If that person can't, the energy is wasted and confusion comes out of that. A lack of influence is generated out of that.
In the white book: The capacity to lead enhanced through association with the proper influences. But always remember that we are dealing with a third line: adaptation is based on trial and error. You will have to deal with bad influences, with the wrong kind of people, the wrong kind of followers, before you get to the opportunity to recognize how that really works.
At the other side of the line, we have: The drive to lead that will accept any follower and the risks. This is Jupiter at its worst, in that sense: the expansiveness of Jupiter that says, "Yes, you can come. If you want to follow me, that is fine. I'll give you this to do." Thus, you end up with all kinds of difficulties in that.
The key for anybody who is carrying third lines is always this recognition that you are going to go through these processes and you are going to make these mistakes that you will have to learn from.
What you have to learn is that the third line, because it is not yet transpersonal, has this genetic recognition that it can lead, but it has to make mistakes in leadership before it can recognize that it cannot do it alone and that it needs the proper forces with it because it is not so much leading with its influence as it is taking the influence of its followers and channeling it.
That is what a leader does. Today, though it is politically correct to condemn it, we have a political environment in which politicians very carefully watch the polls. Everybody is screaming and yelling about how we have lost the days where our politicians directed us instead of the politicians trying to figure out where we want to go and taking us there.
This is [actually] a real improvement. This is the essence of how things should work in this context of influence, that one has to take into account the needs and the direction of the totality, the needs of the collective, and act as a focus to represent them. No leader actually has their own influence in that sense. They are always taking the influence of the followers and giving it a focal point. That is the nature of this line. The third line learns from its mistakes."
@Carizma22 3/5 splenic P, has said yes to sharing this š
I love it when I get to be privy to an āexperiment progress reportā from one of our Locals members.
Wanna celebrate with me? š„³š¤©šš½
This next one is a tale of Caroleās undefined solar plexus adventures, originally posted in a Projector fb group.
Cool witnessing Carole! š¤
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?š¤)
And thereās a short video of @BeyondBeautiful and me first talking about āavoiding confront and truthā 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 š
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 š¤), and I first watched it a few hours ago.
I immediately thought what a great share it would be in here š¤© 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 š¢ we had on or radar for the last hour before the rides closed.
Wasnāt 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 š„³)
Ahhhh nothing to do, so much nothing to do š„³š„°šæ
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 āOne Thing At A Time,ā 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! šNot 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 ārogueā 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 ā 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 ā 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.Ā These human groupings of mainly generators and projectors are also known as āPentasā.
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!ā¦
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 ā 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 projectorās role is pivotal for life to be coherently organised.
But there is a great irony to it all for the projector ā 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 āsort ofā 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 ā 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 projectorās 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 ā 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 usā¦"
This is a little outside of my 'care' zone, but can see the things we've trusted faltering.Ā
I think Human Design is here to offer Ā people awareness to be able to weather what would otherwise feel like impossibly stormy times.
Lucky us š¤
Also, what a cool picture Chaitanya found š

"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. Itās brought us an age of, within reason, trust.Ā
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. Itās not about that at all. It's about bringing the possibility of the richness of life to the next generation.Ā
If the stellar family teaches us anything itās that even the gods, even the remotest forces in the stream are concerned about the generations and the movement of information.Ā
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."
