your conscious sun

This can be found in the right black column of your chart at the very top, the number before the decimal point is the gate of your Conscious Sun. The number after the decimal point is the line. You can read about it below as well as the same line number associated with your Gate. The lines adds flavor and context in your life. This line is particularly important because it is part of your Human Design Profile. The line of your Unconscious Sun is the second number in your Profile. Scroll all the way down if you would like help identifying your Conscious Sun Gate + Line. Once you’ve identified you can read about it here and read the key in the Gene Keys book (if you have it). .

Your Conscious Sun is where your deeper purpose in life meets the outside world. This is masculine, yang energy. It is how you express yourself and it is one of your four primary gifts in this life. Our four primary gifts are seeds for our transformation. Bringing them into our awareness, integrating our shadows, unlocks their gifts and our higher purpose. This is something we allow rather than force. We take them in, contemplate, bring greater awareness, marinate in them through practice and self study and embody their truth. In doing so we are fully integrated.

Your life’s work is part of your conscious design, these are traits you are most likely aware of + what you are here to do in this incarnation.

energetics

The SUN in your chart has to do with your personality, your life force, how you express yourself, first impressions, ego, leadership and ultimately how + where you shine. It is a big part of our self individuation + finding self and we express our Sun when we are creative whether that is through art or our unique self expression in the ordinary.

“Our fear of death grows in direct proportion to the absence of a life fully lived. If we do not express the Sun we pass into the future looking back over our shoulder, regretting what we have not done and who we have not been.”

- Liz Greene

shadow

The Shadow here can block us from finding the community + work that really suits our authentic selves and from standing fully in our power and authentic identity.

It also reveals the inner work we will repeat again and again until we have integrated and accepted it. This comes from fully opening our heart to this challenge. Every time we recognize and become aware of a Shadow and we accept and embrace it, we unlock another gift within our DNA.

This isn’t something to be fixed and then move on. These are the cyclical themes we face. The healing that isn’t linear but a spiral, we circle back around, heal on a deeper level, unlock another gift. The more we continue to open and accept, the deeper we go and the more shadows and gifts we are able to unearth.

This is the the embodiment of as below, so above; as within, so without. The internal unpacking is represented in our outer reality. Sit with the discomfort and find gratitude for the gift frequency these energies have to offer.

GIFT + HIGHEST VIBRATION

When we no longer allow ourselves to play victim to our circumstances we begin to more clearly see (and become) the gifts. As you work with your Shadow, it is important to hold its Gift (and its Highest Vibration) in the same container.

The highest vibration is essentially attained enlightenment. It is said that the act of seeking enlightenment is still a form of shadow. I touch briefly on the highest vibration b/c I think it’s a seed we plant toward spiritual realization. It’s not about something we are trying to attain.

Create an affirmation of the high vibration of this energy. All energy in our charts wants to express itself so create a positive statement around the Gift energy that resonates with you to keep anchoring into and to check in with regularly so that you stay present with your Gifts.

lines

The line for this energy is the number after the decimal point of the gate. So if the number in your uppermost right column says 44.2, then your life’s work is in gate 44, line 2 so you would read about The Dancer below as well as read Line 2 of your Gate.

In general, with our Gates, I also recommend reading all the lines and seeing what jumps out at you. They are all facets of the energy you carry.
