Libra and the Pathways of Intuition
I wanted to share this throwback from an old Q+A on IG. I know it’s not Thursday (or 2010 for that matter) but for my fellow Generators it is a really aligned thing for you to revisit and reshare past still relevant content. And this one pulls a thread often ignored when Libra is discussed.This is also a bit of a pod/blog crossover as I wanted to share some other intuitive threads we’ve pulled inside The Collective below —We all have access to intuition, higher guidance, inner knowing and “psychic” abilities to varying degrees. This will become more and more evident as we move into the New Paradigm and more gifts come online so stay open!!Our Design can be a good place to look at where we may have natural talents we can nurture, connect to, and where we may particularly receive the intangible based on our unique blueprint.We can look to our COGNITION (Cultivating the Senses + Our Design), to whether or not you have a defined SPLEEN as well as how you filter life through your STRATEGY + AUTHORITY.We can also look to some specific GATES in our chart that are defined for insight. Look to which of these gates you have colored in either red or black (or both). If they are red it means this may be even more of an unconscious ability you will grow into.We can use this knowledge to deepen our connection with Spirit, Source, our Higher Guidance. These gifts can also require strengthening our container and practicing healthy energetic autonomy as well as protecting our energy through good boundaries when needed.We want to make space for them to come in as well as practicing good self stewardship and nervous system regulation so that we can “hear” them.*Clair simply means a space or gateway in which you are sensitive to receive information, where you carry an innate receptivity to tapping into your inner guidance.CLAIRVOYANCEThis is often referred to as the gift of sight. This may include visions or seeing lights or auras. You may see things in your outer world or like a movie playing in your mind.We find this in the definition that lives in our Head or Crown Center. This is supported by the Crown + Third Eye Chakra Archetype. Look to see if you have any definition in Gate 61, 63 and/or 64 or if the entire Center is defined.What visual tools are you drawn to: tarot, art, nature, film, scrying, etc…?Pay special attention to your dreams as well if you have any definition here. I tend to go through cycles of getting clear wisdom from my dreams but the more we tune into them, honor them, and intend to connect and remember them, the more access we typically have. You can explore that more through the Third Eye Chakra toolbox in THIS IS THE SPACE.CLAIRAUDIENCEOr intuitive hearing. This can manifest as hearing a voice in your head, music or certain tones. This can also manifest as all manner of knowing around things you hear. A way this shows up for me is hearing the perfect song, sometimes I will ask for guidance through shuffling my music or the next song that comes on the radio. What is your relationship to sound, to music, to mantra, to chanting, to speaking/channeling with your voice?Gate 57 is the most intuitive gate in the chart and often referred to as Intuition or The Psychic Gate. With definition in this gate acoustics and vibrations become a major player in your life.If you have this Gate defined in your chart, are you listening?CLAIRCOGNIZANCEI often ask a question in stillness or meditation and sometime I get an actual answer in the moment. Other times later in the day or week. With my Splenic definition it is often quick and doesn’t repeat itself.Gates 24 + 61 both connect you to that feeling of just knowing. You don’t know how you know but you know. If you have the full channel 24-61 this is the Channel of Awareness. It’s healthy to release the need to have clarity and know why you know. Trust in your inner knowings. Surrender to the mystery. And wait to be invited to share. This can also be an auditory energy.Gate 32 connects us to our intuition around bringing our dreams into reality. When you tune in, you know what’s worth truly pursuing.CLAIRSENTIENCE + SYNAESTHESIAThis is an inner knowing through feeling, often feeling guided by our literal feels or emotions. You just know.If you have Gate 19 defined you can typically feel into the energy or vibration of your environment. This can include sensing other people’s energy and suffering. This is the most sensitive gate in Human Design and includes sensitivity to emotion as well as touch. I have this one and I am incredibly sensitive to other peoples feelings and even fabrics or an annoying tag in my shirt. People with this energy also often feel deeply connected to animals + can benefit from having a pet.Cultivating a healthy relationship and awareness around your emotional landscape can be helpful in nurturing this specific gift.Synaesthesia is the ability to crossover senses. This is a result of sensitivity to your sensory environment, emotional patterns + moods around you, energetic fluctuations, colors and auric fields.CLAIROLFACTANCE OR CLAIRSALIENCEAn energy of intuitive smell. Gate 44 is the Gate of Smell. This is the energy to “smell a rat”, to sense when something is off through your sense of smell, to sense the truth. If you don’t like the smell of something; a place, a person, pay attention, that is your inner guidance.You may also find you receive information through smelling things that aren’t actually in your environment. I have asked on more than one occasion (with this gate in my conscious sun) if I’m having a seizure — “does anyone else smell that?”ELEMENTALS + THE OTHERWORLDGates 5 + 15 are tied to the natural world and foster deep connections to animals, nature, the elementals, etc.. I love this book on exploring this energy.Gate 19 is also tied the unseen realms including faeries, spirits, and angels (as well as animal communication).SENSES OF THE BODYGRAPHGate 17 > Right Eye (Mind)Gate 48 > Taste (Mind)Gate 57 > Right Ear Now (Mind + Body)Gate 44 > Smell (Body)Gate 6 + 37 > Touch (Body)Gate 22 > Left Ear Wave (Mind + Body)Gate 36 > Feel (Mind)Gate 43 > Inner Ear (Mind + Body)Gate 11 > Left Eye (Mind)THE 12TH HOUSE + TAPPING INWhat element do you have on the 12th House in your Natal Chart? For instance if you have Sagittarius on the cusp, your 12th House is ruled by Fire; Cancer, water; Virgo, Earth, Gemini, Air, etc… You can utilize this element to help you tune into your gifts.You can also just notice what you feel drawn to in these suggestions as it may be b/c of your Moon or other placement.Fire: following the little ‘splenic like’ lightning bolt nudges you get throughout your day (to go somewhere, to call someone, to try something new, to slow down (feeling clumsy). When you feel stuck move your body, shake it out, go for a quick walk without distraction.Earth: following those ‘sacral like’ inner knowings in your gut, tuning in to information you might receive through physical touch (like a touch cognition), connecting to nature and animals. Bring nature to your altar. Offering Spirit plates when you eat + blessings to your food.Air: breathwork, stream of consciousness writing, noticing when you just know or when you take notice of words around you in your environment or things stick out to you wen you’re reading, drawing daily oracle cards, expressing gratitude to your Guides + Source for their assistance.Water: get into water while inviting in guidance and wisdom around where you desire clarity, salt water baths to clear the static and noise, take notice of the insights and answers that come through in the shower. Having a good cry to make space. Bless your water and spend time with water in nature.Members find ways to CULTIVATE + NUTURE YOUR GIFTS inside the Knowing By Design Portal + SO MUCH support for clearing the static to “hearing” your intuition in THIS IS THE SPACE.
