How our white (undefined) centers get turned on
In this passage, Ra is referring to how the transits can potentially interact with our charts (we can look at a “just now” chart to know what the universal weather is - for the whole world - on any given day)
You can find the main source of those charts here -

There’s also (the more strongly felt) aura and related defined centers and activated Gates in the Design of another person which brings whatever it brings into our aura space.
Pets/animals have auras and definition that can impact and condition us too.
This is all most obviously happening through any of the white (aka open or undefined) places in our chart, but defined (colored in) areas are also conditioned - we’re just already stable and consistent (even rigid) in that part of our chart.
Here’s Ra -
“Remember, the nature of a transit is that if this is going to bring about a definition in your Design, it’s obviously going to have that impact.
But it doesn’t necessarily mean that everybody is going to have that happen to them.
That’s the whole thing about being unique aspects within a general program, that the general program establishes all the possible conditions of the programming.
However, each and every one of us, in our uniqueness, filters the program specifically, which means some things do not affect us while other things do.
This is one of the reasons why the transit work in astrology is so disastrously inaccurate.
Because if you have the historical perspective of astrology, to be able to see that nature of aspects—which is one of the things that astrology is brilliant at—and you know that somebody has their Sun and they have Neptune going over their Sun, now, of course the astrologer’s going to have a specific description for that based on the aspect.
But once you understand the nature of Design, you can see that that Sun may be in an undefined center.
That Sun may not be active at all unless it’s being conditioned by somebody turning on that center.
And that aspect of Neptune over the Sun, though it will carry that value when the center is defined, will not be there when it’s not.”
PS. It feels important to add that, because Human Design is also not predictive, the way astrology is used, it also follows that what’s important IF you look to the transits (I still rarely do, but some people’s experiments can really be served by watching their own Designs this way), that you understand what’s available is information about what this or that Gate or Channel or Center being activated means - For Your Design and personal experiment.
The filter of YOU is unique and has whatever awareness it has. Only you can understand what it’s like when xyz is defined/active - and that can really only be accomplished through the active observation during or after a particular transit multiple times.
Only then can you say, “Ohhh when this thing is happening (in the universal weather), I understand that I typically experience it this way”
Human Design is not predictive - freaky accurate? YES 😄… predictive … no.
See what I mean?
