[Find your personality Sun gate on the mandala wheel - this is the quarter of your ‘purpose’]
M = Mind
C = Civilization
D = Duality
I = Initiation
I would suggest there’s also the possibility of considering your Sense keyword in this same breath.
Of course this is just an exercise for potentially entertaining witnessing.
The body can/will do what it wants if/when we allow it to ☺️
PS. The timely reminder for me is that my chart holds “purpose fulfilled through mind” for me. And even further - “with words” via
Which is NOT likely to have any connection to my most recent open head fascination …
Being a sourdough bread baker. I mean I’ve (my Mind) has really have been considering it … but duh Andrea forget that it’s very possible it’s too physical for sustaining as a regular gig, I don’t even really prefer sourdough bread! 🤦🏻♀️
There are other breads though … now how to maybe add in words 🤔🤓☺️
I do know, via hindsight, that my personally recognized Projector Success does always hail from 1st line investigations and opinions (other parts of my chart) that the minds of others then can be on the receiving end of.
Anyhoo - curious which quarter your Personality Sun resides in and whether you find any connection with it :)
INTRODUCTION : THE 4 QUARTERS
“The Quarter of Initiation is purpose fulfilled through mind. It's all about mind. So if you have your personality sun in the Quarter of Initiation, then ultimately, purpose for you is fulfilled through mind.
Now, what's so interesting about the Quarter of Civilization is that, out of the 16 gates, 11 of them are from the throat center. And everything about the throat center is about the metamorphosis, or about the the ability to transform energy into action, and everything about the Quarter of Civilization is purpose fulfilled through form. If your Sun is in this quarter, then purpose for you is fulfilled ultimately through form.
If it is in the Quarter of Duality that purpose is fulfilled through bonding. That is, it is through our relationship to the other. If your personality Sun is in this quarter, fulfillment for you is through bonding.
And of course, anyone who knows the basics of Human Design understands something, that bonding, in and of itself, can be very complex, and that if you're somebody who is very individual, if you're somebody who is unemotional, it may be very difficult, in that sense, to live out a life whose purpose is only fulfilled through bonding.
And then finally, we come to the fourth quarter. And the fourth quarter is the Quarter of Mutation. And the Quarter of Mutation is purpose fulfilled through transformation, through transformation.
Each and every one of these quarters, they represent a foundation for the way in which we can interpret purpose, purpose in our own lives, and to be able to use the road map of the quarters to be able to see clearly for ourselves that as we operate correctly, we move closer and closer to the fulfillment of our purpose.
Throughout this week, I'm going to be looking at an overview for you of each of the four quarters.”
INITIATION
“Everything about the Quarter of Initiation is about the expansion of mind. And the expansion of mind through the penetration of form.
In many ways, it is simply about a purpose that is fulfilled through grasping the essence of what it is to be, and it is the initiation of the capacity to be able to grab the nature of the essence of what it is to be.
Remember this theme, the witness returning, that is, the return is the return of the personality, and the return of the personality as a witness, the passenger witness, that is here to witness the world of form through penetrating the world of form.
Just as the Personality Crystal penetrates the form, enters into the vehicle to experience the form principle that everything about the Quarter of Initiation is about the penetration of form by mind to figure it all out, to grasp the very essence of the form principle.
The purpose of this quarter is to both penetrate and through penetration, to master the form. If you have your personality Sun in any of the 16 gates of this quarter, it is essential to recognize that it's not enough. It's not enough just to be. It's not enough.
That is not the goal, and there will be no fulfillment in the purpose, just in the being. There's more it is seeing and truly seeing what being is. It's not enough just to be when you come in in this quarter, you truly have to be able to see you.”
CIVILIZATION
“What makes this quarter so very unusual is that of the 16 hexagrams, 11 of those hexagrams are the 11 gates of the throat center. Everything about this quarter its purpose fulfilled through form, through form itself.
And it is this transformation of energy into form that makes the Quarter of Civilization so fascinating and the true counterpoint to the Quarter of Initiation, where initiation is here to penetrate the form civilization is here to transform the energy into form itself. It is, in fact, the form principle.
Everything about the throat center is about metamorphosis. It's about the ability to be able to take energy and to convert that energy into action. It is not simply that we incarnate with a purpose that drives us to explore at a level that we call consciousness and intelligence, the nature of being. It is not enough.
This quarter states very clearly that it's not enough just to see what also must build. And everything about civilization is about building. It is about building the infrastructure for life. It is about the form principle.
And anyone who comes in into an incarnation with their personality Sun in this quarter, that for them, ultimately, purpose can only be fulfilled through form, through the use of their creative potential to be able to create what is necessary and in the sense of what Civilization is.
Incarnating into this quarter is that one incarnates onto the physical plane, the physical plane of life, and that one is demanded in one's fulfillment of purpose to live clearly on this plane.”
DUALITY
“We have the energy and the matter principle in initiation and civilization. And when they come together, they come together to produce more. And this producing of more must be in the Program for life. If we do not make more, if we do not repopulate, if we do not continue to reproduce at a level that will maintain or grow our population, then we will die out. And so this Quarter of Duality, this purpose fulfilled through bonding, this is an absolute essential for a bio life form.
And so the Quarter of Duality, despite its purpose being fulfilled through bonding, that bonding in and of itself, it's not something that is going to be easy in life. Everything about the Quarter of Duality points to the dilemmas of this and that, trying to meet and trying to find a way to be one together. If you come in and incarnate with your personality Sun in this quarter, then bonding for you, the other for you is going to be a key.
If you're not operating correctly as yourself, if you're not following your Strategy and honoring your Inner Authority, then it's going to be extraordinarily difficult for you to fulfill your purpose through bonding.
And yet, bonding is going to be there as a theme, and it's going to be something that will bring out anger or frustration or bitterness or disappointment, depending on your type, because you will not be able to find the purpose through the other, so this can be a very, very difficult quarter, because it does require a very clear level of consciousness, a clear level of consciousness to be able to meet the right other, and out of that, to be able to continue this life process on the planet.”
MUTATION
"What starts with initiation, ends with mutation. And mystically, that ending is about accepting. Ending is about the acceptance of death.
Everything about the Quarter of Mutation is that it is per purpose that can be fulfilled through transformation. And it is the closing of the circle. It begins with the first hexagram. It begins with the creative. And it begins with this deep, deep impulse to express one's unique nature. When we are looking at mutation, we are looking at the demands for the display of uniqueness.
In the quarter of initiation, we have the principle of energy, spirit, the personality. In civilization, we have the form principle. We have the design. And between them, we have this potential of the male principle and the female principle, finding through each other, the uniqueness that comes with bonding, that is that through bonding, something else, something more can be created.
But by the time we've moved through duality and we have fulfilled our responsibilities in the biological sense, in the genetic sense, to make more, then what is in front of us is only the potential to grasp the truth, the mystery. And to grasp the truth, to find the mystery, is to exist as oneself, only as oneself. This is the ultimate mutation.
It’s that transformation that leads to uniqueness, it's what we are. We are unique. It's one of the most magical, mystical things to grasp. It's only then that you can find your purpose, and ultimately, your purpose is found through your uniqueness."

@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 ...
lol I found this comic on Sjef’s blog

as I was wandering a thread that was essentially attempting to illuminate (again) why Karen Curry Parker’s work is not HD - it’s nearly the antithesis in many ways actually.
[The biggest challenge imho is that she speaks only to the ways one can “improve” (undefined ego) in a “hurry” (undefined root) and seeks to soothe the Mind while continuing to make decisions with it vs letting the body lead … there’s more that contradicts and would honestly just warrant a system name change to make everyone’s study easier. Instead, there’s a lot of flotsam online to wade through (from not just her direction, this is just today’s example), claiming to be Human Design that misses the mark to varying degrees 🤷🏻♀️. Laetitia’s keynote in image 2 is the mechanical grain of salt to take her in with I think - it always matters/makes a difference what lens ...
Good grief waiting can seem endless sometimes.
This round has been a real test for me.
Even being in year 10 of my experiment … the ruckus my Mind attempted to hijack my body Authority with was off the chart.
Thankful for having been in experiment for this long because being able to tell it to take an f-ing chill pill was pretty swift … and my days continued to pass pleasantly.
But boy it tried. 🙄
How that connects to my DBAY life is quite directly.
Perhaps it’s my Markets Environment piece that makes it this obvious; when I’m not selling/transacting/preparing to or in service to fulfilling on offers … I’m in waiting mode for the next interesting enough idea to put forth as such.
Period.
That’s what really lights me up.
Coming up with and activating yummy win/win offers for the people who recognize me.
Okay I guess eating delicious food is right up there with offer making and win/win transacting.
But as I’m often not the chef (though the waiting period this time has shifted that somewhat in a particular direction) a even that involves transactional ...
For some reason, this made me really lol when I first saw it about a week ago - Of course I’m a correct and original foundation awareness geek.
Then the thread got co-opted by people (a person) too literal and with no sense of humor. 🙄😄
Which helped me to wait before sharing it. 🤓
It’s from the HD co-study group :)
Yesterday, @mellijae shared a graphic from 64Keys and it reminded me that there's a hashtag in here for #theplanets

"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."
