The Timing Trap: How conditioning around time keeps you stuck & what your Human Design reveals about YOUR timing

What if everything you've been told about time isn't actually true for you? In this episode, we're diving deep into how our relationship with time has been shaped by ancient commerce and industrial control and how it's keeping you stuck in patterns that aren't serving your wellbeing or success.

From calendar panics to factory clocks, I'm sharing the fascinating (well I think so) history of how time constructs were created, and why understanding this changes everything about how you show up in your life. Then we'll explore how your Human Design chart reveals your unique relationship with time. 

If you're feeling like you're 'behind' in life or you're struggling to 'keep up' this episode is for you because you're not broken, you simply need to remember your own natural rhythm and relationship to time.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why people literally rioted in the streets over calendar changes in 1752 (and what this reveals about our attachment to time constructs)
• How the Industrial Revolution created our modern time anxiety and why being "5 minutes late" wasn't even a concept before factory owners needed to track worker productivity
• The Root Centre as your time pressure centre, and how understanding whether yours is defined or undefined changes everything about urgency and deadlines.
• Why 6th line profiles have completely different life timing (and why you're not "behind" if you don't have it all figured out in your 20s)
• How to distinguish between your natural rhythms and absorbed time pressure from the world around you.

hello and welcome back to another episode. Today we are talking about something a little bit different, different in a little bit of the context I'm giving you. And I am excited for this little bit of a different approach because I have been in full projector, just obsession mode. Really fascinated and intrigued unpacking this topic, so I'm excited to share it with you. Now, today we are talking about the timing trap, how conditioning around time keeps you stuck, and what your human design reveals about your timing. Now, when I say your timing, what I'm referring to is your natural rhythm, your relationship to time, and to give you a beautiful foundation to leap from essentially to learn from. We are going to take things back a little bit because one of the questions that I sat with when unpacking all of this to bring to you in this episode was, everything we've been told about time. What if it isn't actually true? And by whose standards is it true? Our relationship with time, we have in so many ways. Built this homogenized relationship to time, and when I share with you what I'm gonna share with you, it'll be really clear as to why. And then we're going to unpack how we can look to your human design chart to reveal more of a unique relationship with time and unique relationship to your, daily life rhythm and life rhythm over all. Let's take it back. Now we're starting with, what we would call a brief history lesson because as a fourth line profile and also someone who has a lot of first line activation in their chart, I love to give some context. I love to lay the foundations in which we move from. Now, I also wanna share this with you because I think it. Fascinating. And there's just some things about history. I'm no history buff. I am no like historian or anything. However, there's things that I find really fascinating. So I'm gonna run through a few things today before we dive into the human design things and know that this is purposeful, please don't skip ahead. This is it's fascinating stuff. And when I first started to unpack it and learn about it and hear about it, I was like, this just. Makes me wanna live very differently. Like it makes me want to really sit with myself and bring awareness and intention and presence to the way that I live my life and the way that I relate to many things in life. One of those being time. So let's take it back. Let's take it back to the calendar panic. Now, what I mean by the calendar panic is while Britain was still using the old Julian calendar, which was created by Julius Caesar back in 46 bc, most of Europe had switched to the Gregorian calendar. So this was introduced by Pope Gregory the 13th in 1582. Right Now the problem with this is that the Julian calendar was 11 minutes off per year, and by 1752, all those minutes had obviously added up, so Britain was then now 11 full days behind the rest of Europe. Now in 1752. They recognized there needed to be a little bit of a change because this just wasn't adding up right. So the Parliament of Great Britain passed the calendar act to fix this. They decided to skip 11 days all at once. So people went to sleep on Wednesday the 2nd of September, and woke up the next morning on Thursday, September 14th. So from September 3rd through to September 13th. It just didn't exist that year. It just wasn't a thing. Now, you can imagine people just not understanding this, not conceptualizing this because theoretically it doesn't make sense to the everyday average person. Right now, this ensued panic because people didn't understand why they thought the government was literally stealing days from their lives like they thought their lifespan was shorter. Because of this change and to the point where people protested in the streets with banners that read, give us our 11 days. They genuinely believed that their lifespan had been shortened, which wild. Now, the irony of this is that nothing actually changed in their real experience. The sun still rose and it still set Seasons still cycled. Their bodies still aged at the same rate. Now, this is the perfect example. That shows us how attached we become to human made measurements. Mistaking them for reality itself. I was fascinated by that. That was just the start. Before the Industrial Revolution, people lived by natural rhythms. And when I say natural rhythms, what I mean is. Sunrise, sunset and, seasonal changes when farmers worked they worked from like their whole measurement of time and them working was from when they can see to when they can't see. There was no need for any kind of precise time measurement, even in the center of town. For example, like there was church bells. Towns use bell towers to mark broad time periods for, communal activities. And where it all changed was when factory owners needed to coordinate workers and measure pro productivity with more precision. So that's when time clocks were invented to track exactly when workers arrived and when they left. Every minute became. Money. Now think about that in like today's context, the cultural impact of that before this being five minutes late wasn't even a concept that existed. Now, I think about this of my own experience and because I was in the hairdressing industry for a really long time, like obviously we are running on appointment times and there's times with that, so for me, it is just ingrained within me whenever I go to an appointment. Now, I consider on time late, like if I am on time, I am late. And this isn't always me going in and being in a space, 10 to 15 minutes prior to my appointment. But I at least wanna be out the front sitting in my car 10 to 15 minutes prior because not everyone likes you to be in there. That long before, like some spaces just don't allow for it, and I'm very conscious of that as well. So I just think this is really interesting even to think about from my own experience and how that shows up in my life today because, we've developed this modern obsession with how we measure productivity in like minutes and in seconds, and it's created this anxiety that pre previous generations. Never experienced, like they weren't hung up on all of this time business, how quickly you can get something done, how you know, how quickly you can understand something or you've got five minutes, so I'll just try and do everything that I can in this five minutes. Like they weren't even aware of that this didn't exist right now. The point of this is that our obsession with precise timing. Is only 200 years old. It is not natural human behavior. Now, like I said at the start of the episode, it's like I began to question and sit with, I wanna show up. How can I show up in life differently? How can I be more present? How can I, tune into my natural rhythms? This is why. When I sit with this is why, and to also really acknowledge yes, we live in a very homogenized world. The homogenization is not going anywhere, minutes and seconds and hours and weeks and years and everything. It's not going anywhere. That concept in so many ways is helpful. Yes. What I'm sharing with you today is I is really from a place of questioning where it's not helpful. How is it taking you away from your natural rhythms? How is it making you question your worth? How is it affecting, negatively affecting your wellbeing, your health? Whether that be physically, emotionally, mentally, how is it affecting? What you expect of yourself or the shoulds that you place on yourself, how is it affecting other conditioning? So if we go a little bit deeper, i've got more because this is what happens when a projector goes into her rabbit hole. Now I've as assimilated this and, condensed it down. So I'm not giving you like a two hour masterclass on how time was. Created. if we look at the measurement of a seven day week, this is also very interesting. So the Romans had an eight day week. Now this eight day week, working week, ended in a market day. So this particular market day was for trade and socializing. If we look at the Greeks had a 10 day week, so three 10 day periods made up their months, completely different rhythm, if we look at the French Revolutionary calendar, they tried this 10 day weeks from 1793 to 1805 to break free from this Christian tradition, which failed because people couldn't adjust, when the Soviet Union experimented in 1929, they tried a five day continuous work week with no market rest day. In 1932, they then switched to a six day week with a marked rest day. Then in 1940, they gave up and returned to a seven day work week. Now the resistance with this shows how once a rhythm gets into a collective consciousness, once we are conditioned with this, it's incredibly hard to change. I think we can even look at the things that, the conditioning that happened the behavioral conditioning that happened throughout the pandemic and not getting into anything wild here. Just literally looking at the way our behavior changed, it is incredibly hard to change when something gets into collective consciousness. The cultural proof of this, our seven day week isn't based on nature, moon cycles are 28 days. A solar year is 365 days. It is a pure cultural creation. Once again, it has been created. It is not necessarily by nature Now, when we look at, we take it a layer deeper and we look at the time system, so breaking down time, specifically, even further, the Babylonian time system. Is where time comes from. And this was crafted, let's say 4,000 years ago. When the Babylonians created this time system, they were just trying to track their trade and farming seasons. They. Base 60 math. So instead of counting to 10 and then starting over, like we do, like we, our, we are base 10, like what's considered base 10, we count to 10 and we start all over again. The Babylonians counted to 60 and then they started over. Now you might think, why? It's because you can divide it evenly in so many different ways, this made splitting goods, measuring land, and calculating trades super, super easy. And then with a 24 hour day, they notice that the sun and the moon cycles roughly made 24 periods that worked for their daily rhythm. Then if we think about the minutes and the seconds, these are literally Latin for first, small part and second small part. They were just breaking hours into smaller chunks, and that's where minutes and seconds came from. The crazy part about all of this is that they had no idea that they were creating time standards, that the entire world would still be using a. 4,000 years later, which is pretty cool when you think about it. Something that they created to support their trade in farming seasons, it is still being used. 4,000 years later, we are still living by their system. Every time you check your phone for the time, you are using Babylon and math. Wild. Fascinating. If we think about where we still use it, right time, the obvious things, 60 seconds are in a minute, 60 minutes are in an hour, circles and angles, 360 degrees in a circle, 60 by six, navigation, ude and longitude measurements, the point being, our entire relationship with time is based on ancient traders trying to coordinate business deals, it was never about natural human rhythm. It was about commerce and control in many ways, depending on, what we are looking at, what measurement of time and when and where, and how it was created. What we are looking at these shows up in two ways. What's even more wild is that we have applied this same external measurement thinking to everything, not just work schedules, also to our lifetime lines, to our daily rhythms, even our worthiness. I'm gonna give you some examples from my own life and how this has played out and just give you some examples of how, looking at my own personal relationship of time. Through the lens of my own human design and astrology and what has come up for me and how I've been able to, reframe my own relationship with time in many ways. And then we will get into where we can take a look in your chart that might give you insights into your unique relationship with time. For me, when I think about my relationship to time, and if I think about the macro, like life timing, the thing that always comes up is I had a beautiful natal chart reading years ago, and this was prior to my Saturn return. I might have just entered my Saturn return maybe. Anyway. Around before some time Now. When I had this natal chart reading, I learned that I wouldn't meet like my person until I was around 30 or later, so until I was either within or past my Saturn return and. When I learned about this, it offers offered such a deep exhale. Like I could just trust my inner knowing of, not needing anyone, not having to do the chase that we are sort of taught to go after. I was. Happy by myself. If I really sat with it, I was so content being by myself and it just was permission for me to own that and to not give into this conditioning or idea that I needed to want something else. I could just trust the timing of my life and for something that is, there's a lot of pressure around, meeting a person and, getting married and the whole nine yards. This was just so permission giving and it offered me such a massive exhale, like I could stop forcing a timeline that wasn't even mine to begin with, and instead actually start, enjoying life instead of feeling like I am behind somewhere else. When I think about. My relationship with time and particularly in a macro sense, is I have a undefined G center now. When we have an undefined G center, the not self behavior of the G center is to really be focused and intent. On finding our direction in life. And a certain way that this showed up for me is feeling like I need a plan. Feeling like I need to follow the course, follow the plan that is, you know, socially acceptable. And what I realized through, working with the energy of my undefined G Center is that. My life is a work of art and it is not here to be lived on anybody else's timeline but my own. And that timeline isn't permanent, that isn't consistent. It is mutable. It's changing. My life is an adventure. It is a piece of art. It's something that I get to live into and evolve with and grow and explore and learn. And it took me a really long time to. Find a sense of peace with that and really actually appreciate and enjoy that because there is so much conditioning out there that tells us that, we should make a five year plan, a 10 year plan. Don't ask me what I'm doing next week, let alone next year. That was really huge for me. The other thing that shows up for me is my defined root. So while I. Have an undefined G center. I actually have a defined root center now. Thank God. I think about having an undefined root center and an undefined sacral. And any of you who do just kudos to you. There is so much wisdom and so many gifts in having that, energetic makeup, and it's just something with my lived life, I'm grateful to have what I have because. I guess I've just got to a place where I just really love and appreciate my own chart and I can see the gifts, the strengths, I can also see the challenges and I, yeah, I just love my chart. So not saying there's anything wrong if you have an undefined, sacral, and undefined route, it's just, I just love my chart so much. Now I actually can't imagine anything different. But when I think about the context of my defined route, I. Have really tuned into this energy and sometimes I still get off course and I still get pulled in different directions, but for the most part, It feels like a strong force for me. Like when I'm on, I'm really on and when I'm off, I am so off, like good luck trying to get me on, and this is the energy, the defined route. It's either on or it's off. Like it's not going. I'm trying to give you a practical example for this. I'm someone who really thrives last minute. I work great under pressure and not from a perspective. I don't say this as from a perspective of'cause we could easily be like, oh my God, trauma and that's having an effect on, the way that you're showing up. This is just from a really grounded place. If I am so grounded and centered in myself and if I check in is this time. And it's a no, it's a no. Like I can feel it. The energy just isn't there, and I have such better outcomes when I trust my own timing, coming back to this timing piece, when I trust the timing of my root, everything is better. Holy wow, everything is better. And I, even if I think about I have emotional authority, which means that my solar plexus will be defined. And when I trust the timing of my emotions, when I trust the timing of my decisions, I make better decisions when I don't rush and try and make decisions like a sacral, I don't rush my own internal timing. Things work out so much better. So I mean they're just a couple of examples and I guess great examples of what happens when we stop living by someone else's timeline and examples of how it can show up in everyday life. Now, something that I wanna touch on before I move on to unpacking your human design chart a little bit more is key points to be aware, like a key point to be aware of. Which is not confusing, the map for the territory. Because like I've mentioned, we've become so homogenized, we live in a very homogenized world. That is the reality, and so much so that we often mistake the map for the territory itself. We've confused clocks and calendars with time itself. People even do this with their human design chart, treating it as like a rule book, instead of using it as a tool for self understanding, like for example, going back, people thinking that the calendar controlled their lifespan. Wild. We are doing this constantly with time. Feeling guilty for resting at 2:00 PM because why believing that eight hour workdays are a na, a natural for everybody. They're not. And thinking 5:00 AM wake up are something that equals success. By whose rule, by whose standard. For some people, yeah, that works great, but not for everyone. Right now, here's what I Discovered about how time actually works. Time isn't something that is. Linear. It's not something that we are chasing or that we need to grab or catch or, like grip tightly to, we don't need to hold tightly to time. We can't. It'll slip through our fingers. Seconds are going by. Minutes are going by. Hours are going by. It's nothing we can hold, grab, or catch. It is more like a frequency, a vibrational wave that you are already a part of. You are already flowing with it. You're already within it, you are within the wave of time. So if you imagine it like time isn't something, like I say, that's solid that you can grab. We're treating it that way, but that's not how time works. Time is. A frequency. Time is an energy wave. If you visualize like a wave, an a, an energy wave that looks like a little bit of a frequency wave, however that might show up for you and, you are a part of it. You are moving along the wave. You're bobbing along. That is how it actually works like that. That is actually time. Like I said, time isn't something that's attainable that you can grab and hold and keep. Now, different human design types experience time differently because we each have our own frequency and deeper layers of our chart that can tell us even more about that. Now, because you are not here to catch the right timing, you are here to learn to trust the rhythm that you are already a part of. I'm gonna share with you some insights into your human design chart because we are falling into the trap of this like time trap on every single level. We are mistaking these historical timelines and creations for natural rhythms, whether that's, you should be married by 30 or you should be productive from nine to five. I don't know. Whatever it is, we can come up with 1,000,001 examples, but I think what I'm really trying to. Share with you today and create that differentiation between is what are your natural rhythms, both macro and micro, and what is created, what is constructed timelines. And what is constructed time, so I'm giving you full permission. Stop trying to match someone else's timing and start trusting your own rhythm. Let's dive into how this may be, because you might be thinking, how do you untangle, all of this mess, all of this conditioning and access your unique relationship to timing. Through the lens of maybe your human design. This is, human design is a really great tool to be able to explore. Like it's a self understanding tool. It's a self exploration tool. It's so brilliant. Your human design chart will show you the difference between your right timing and your, unique rhythms and relationship to time and absorbed expectations. So I'm gonna share with you just some of your human design charts so you can look for those insights and guidance. Now, there are so many areas of a human design chart that I could speak into and I could pull from. And if you wanna go really deep into your own unique. Relationship to time and time rhythms. I am more than happy to do that with you in either a recorded human design reading or a Intuition in Bloom session, which is a single session. I will leave the link to those in the show notes what I'm gonna start first with is the foundational elements. So just some foundational elements that will allow you to take away today and just have something to sit with, to contemplate and to explore. Looking at the energy types, a really quick overview. If we think about the energy of a manifesta the energy of a manifesta in terms of their relationship to time, they work in creative burst and rest cycles. If we think about time and our relationship to time and, creation and success, there is a lot of conditioning out there that says you have to be consistent. You have to, do something sustained and keep moving. Keep going, push through, do it all. When in reality for Manifesters that isn't great, manifesters create phenomenally when they follow these creative burst and rest cycles. Like to think of a, celebrity manifesta. I often think of Adele. If you think about the way that she creates, she'll create. A work of art, an album, and then she will disappear and then she will reappear, create again and disappear. This is such a brilliant example of there's creative burst and then rest cycles. It's so important for Manifesters to acknowledge that part of their natural rhythm like that is what's natural for them, and that is what nurtures and nourishes their energy system. If we think about projectors almost go through and, I'm a projector myself and I find it's almost, we go through like recognition cycles and these more focused energy expenditures. So we're on and then we're off. Like we. Like really plug in and we, look into the other, we, see into the other, we do our thing and then we really pull back like it's important for projectors to pull their energy back to recalibrate to, and it's not even necessarily recharge. It's really just to release and. Recalibrate. And then if we think about generators, like generators are the ones that have this sustainable rhythm where they can keep going and going, but the important thing for them is that they need to feel, I wanna say activated. They need to feel like it's a yes when it comes to the generators and manifesting generators as well. This goes for both of you. When your sacral says yes to something, it's not that you will always feel really excited and really lit up and just whoa, this is the best idea ever. It often will just feel like you've got the energy for it. So I find for manifesting generators and generators, a really powerful thing to do. It's to check in of do I actually feel like I have the energy for this? And that can be as simple as it is oftentimes. Like it's not about going I am not like 10 times excited for this. So that must be a no. You could be really grounded about it. Like it could just be that you have it feels good yeah, okay. Like cool. And you have the energy for it so you can sustain it. If you don't feel good about something, if you don't have, any of that excitement or any of that feel good or any of that oh, yes. You won't have the energy for it. That's where your natural rhythms can waver. And then if we think about reflectors and their relationship to time, reflectors work on lunar cycles. They have a 28 day decision making process timeline, for bigger decisions. They need time and space. And we live in a world that pressures us to make decisions like sacrals and. 50% of the population is emotional authority for a start. And if we think about, we are breaking the rest of that 50% down, give or take a few percentage we're breaking the rest of that 50% down by like a lot of other authorities, we are not all designed to make decisions on the timeline in which we are conditioned to do so I think that even in itself is such a powerful example. Now, if we look further into the chart, the center that I will often look to. Is the root center because the root center, one, it's a pressure center, and two, it's a center that governs pressure and urgency, right this time, urgency. It's where we feel the feeling of, timing's running out. Like their drive to act now. It lives in the root center, which when I say pressure center, we have two pressure centers within the chart. We have the head center and we have the root center. I often describe the root center pressure as more of that body based pressure, that adrenal pressure, it's like when your body just won't let you sit and relax. It just wants to go verse the mental pressure is, a really busy mind. It's the shoulds, it's the, it's. It's a, very busy mind, very simple body mind, so depending on. As well, your root center. And if it has connections to other centers, that can also influence your relationship to like the nuances of your relationship to time and urgency. It can show different ways in how it plays out. I can feel my open head really just trying to go off on a tangent here, but I'm trying to stay focused, so I'm just going to acknowledge that part of myself and we are just gonna come back to that once we are finished here. Okay, so when we think about the route center, if we talk about a defined route, so as I was saying earlier, with my own experience, I'm a defined route. Now, when you have a defined route, you have consistent internal timing pressure. So you have this access to your own natural drive to act. What's important to remember that even though you have access to this, it doesn't mean that the world is set up to honor that, so you still have to be really intentional about the honoring of that. When we look to the undefined route, this is where you are more mutable. So this is where you can also absorb time pressure from others. Like how low deadline anxiety that isn't even. Hello. Not allowing yourself to sit down and rest before everything is done on your to-do list, instead of thinking maybe, okay, I might take a five or 10 minute break and then I will, do the things. It's really interesting to watch that energy play out now. This is the center, like I say, that makes you feel like you are running out of time or that you are behind schedule. So it's important to sit with the energy of your root center. So if you have a look at your root center, is it defined? Is it colored in or is it open or undefined? Which is it white? So it's not colored in. It doesn't matter what color it is, no matter where you're looking at it. And how does that show up for you? Are you someone who has consistent access to that? Energy. And if that's the case, are you honoring that? Because like I said, the world isn't set up to honor that for you. And once again, if you are undefined, are you absorbing the pressure from other people? Are you giving into the pressure of a deadline that's, it's actually not that urgent, it's not yours, are you not allowing yourself to take little breaks before you finish your to-do list? Are you forcing yourself to push through? Understanding your root helps you to see that the feeling of running out of time, it's actually conditioning that you've absorbed. It's not yours. And now there are other centers that also have their own distinct relationship to time. The defined spleen is more about right timing. It's a really instinctual, even intuitive knowing. It's. Really tapped into the perfect moment. It's not loud, it's very quiet, but it will speak and it will communicate. Those with splenic authority will know the defined solar plexus is all about emotional timing. There needs to be time to wait for the clearing, to process the emotions waiting for that clarity, and especially when you have emotional authority. This is. So important. And if you have a defined solar plexus, you have emotional authority. Now, if you have a defined sacral, it is all about the response to timing. So when that sacral lights up, it's go time. You will, like I mentioned before, in many ways, be granted the energy you need to fulfill whatever it is that your defined cycle is activated by. Like you will have the energy for it to sustain it, and that's when you know that it's the right thing for you. Now if you are undefined in any of these centers, this tells me that you have a more mutable or ever adaptive relationship to these energies. These are energies that you borrow from others, so not ones that are inherently anchored within you, which when you are around a lot of these energies, you are easily conditioned by other people. So it starts to become easier to understand why and where and how you've fallen out of your own natural timing and rhythm. When you understand, if you have any openness in these areas that can be even permission giving in that way. I think now as a six line. So I'm a four six profile for those who don't know. I mentioned my fourth line at the start of this episode, and the other half of that is the sixth line. So as a sixth line, I also wanna chat about how time shows up with this particular profile line.'cause I think it's quite interesting and as someone who has lived this, and I think even doing an entire episode of my sixth line experience as someone who is currently on the roof in human design terms, when you go to your second phase, which I'm gonna touch on in a second we refer to it as going on the roof. And it's been a really interesting experience. Now, I know, if you are a sixth line that you will resonate with this and you maybe not have had a reading before or not really dive deep into this, but this is just gonna give a very brief synopsis. So the sixth line has three distinct life phases with very different timing. So from zero to 30 years, you actually revert back to a third line. Now the third line profile is a lot about trial and error, it's. A lot about going out into the ward and experimenting in getting it quote unquote wrong. Gathering your wisdom, direct from your life experience. You gather things that can't be taught in the classroom, I often find it's almost like. Third line when, if I think about my third line experience, it was almost as though I was in like a research and development phase and I was in the research and, collection of all the resources, the information, the learnings and everything so that when I moved onto the roof, I had something to integrate into, develop. That's how, I think about it and how I experienced it for myself. Now, when we get to the second phase from 30 to 50, this is where, like I mentioned, you move onto the roof. So I'm in this stage now and it's been really interesting to observe myself and. Really look to the ways that my natural rhythms and where I've been guided in my energy differ from, social conditioning or what's expected of us in certain phases. Because this is really like an observer phase. It's an integration phase. So it's really about stepping back and integrating the lessons. And it's less outward, it's less action orientated. A lot of six lines find it. Really nourishing to pull away during this phase. And it's not to say that you are not, you're not on social media or you are not out in the world, but there's just this pullback of energy. Now what's really interesting is in this phase as well, this is where, between the first phase and the second phase, this is where you've experienced your statin return. So if we think about from an astrological lens, this is where your statin return happens. And I'm gonna touch on that more in a second, but I just wanted to point that out because. When you think about that transition, it is really interesting of, if you think about you are on the ground, you are learning all the things, like you are gathering all the information and then you are climbing up onto the roof. Your satin return is almost that process of kind of climbing up onto the roof. You can only take so much with you. You're not taking with you what's not to be integrated, what's not to be carried forward with you. It will leave behind. You'll drop it as you try and, bring it up onto the roof because you can't carry and bring everything. Now when we move. 50 plus. So this is where it's called the role model, like the role model phase, we really step into that role model energy of the sixth line. And this is embodying wisdom, being the example. It's, you are often someone that people really look to. I explain this a little bit like Buddha energy because it is just so grounded. It's not energy that's, arrogant or, ego driven. It is just those people who are wise. If you think about people around you who are 50 plus and they just have this really beautiful, grounded, wise energy about them. Like they're just someone who you love to have deep conversations with and they feel like they've lived, a full life in many different ways. It doesn't always look the same and it's just, it's an energy you feel from them that is. The energy of the sixth line. So if you are a sixth line and you are feeling behind in life compared to others, I wanna remind you that you are likely right on time because your timing is naturally different. You are not meant to have it all figured out in your twenties, like society tells you that you should, you are right on time. Now, the Undefined G Center can also show up a little bit. When we look at the G Center, this is all about identity and direction. So when it's undefined, you are here to be mutable. You are here to be this ever beautiful, changing chameleon. There's no such thing as where you should be in life. That's just not true for you. You might feel like you're behind or that you're not on the right path compared to others, especially around people with defined G centers because whenever you are around someone with a defined G center, if you are undefined or open, you will plug into their definition and it is really easy to convince yourself that is yours. When it's not. If you have an undefined G center, there is no need for you to be certain about your life path, to be certain about your, 3, 5, 10 year plan. That's, just put it down. Put it down. I promise you, you'll save yourself a lot of anxiety and stress. Because this can create so much stress and anxiety about life timing that you know you should be married or have kids or own a house or have your career sorted out by now. Like whatever that timing is, the gift of this is that you get to live your life as one big work of art, and there's no such thing as right time by anyone else's standards other than your own. Your timing for major life experiences or transitions might be completely different from others, and that is by design. Now, another quick note, a couple of notes on areas that show up, some themes around timing within your human design chart, because like I said, there are many, but importantly, and high priority, your authority. Shows your natural decision making, timing decision. Oh my gosh, I can't talk today. Your authority will show you your relationship to time and decision making. And if we look to all of the decision making authorities. So all the authorities in human design and their decision making process, they all work on very different time frequencies. They all relate to time very differently. So I think that is a really interesting thing to look at. And even it is a great thing if you are, coming away from this episode and you're going, oh my God, there's so many things for me that I, could look at, look to your authority. Like, how engaged are you with your human design authority? How anchored and grounded are you in that? Are you utilizing that or are saying an emotional authority, trying to make decisions like a sacral. Just a little experiment for you. I actually think back now I'm saying this, we I spent a lot of time with family lately because we've had some things going on and. My pop said to me, we were in the car driving to the hospital and my pop said to me my dad back in the day told me the difference between a good and a bad job is 10 minutes. And I have just ever since he told me that, I've just hung onto that because I'm like, yes. That just, that feels so nourishing for me, and I think that in itself can be really beautiful. The difference between a good and a bad job can be 10 minutes. So you don't need to rush yourself. You don't need to rush your timing because just trust your energy. I think the overall message of all of this is trust your energy, trust where it's leading. You trust your natural rhythm, and as I mentioned your saturn return placement. This wherever this is in your natal chart. So whatever house Saturn is in your natal chart can show where there may be delays and lessons around timing, where this might show up. Now if I. I guess to summarize this episode, I just wanna remind you and give you a permission piece that if you are feeling behind in life, you are actually probably right on time. It is by design. You are not behind. If you feel like you are behind or you know something is wrong with you in the way that you are approaching life or showing up to life. I want you to sit with why I don't think we asked the question of why enough. When we're in, and this is gonna be a slight tangent, but we're gonna go there and I'm gonna do it really quick. When we are even in interaction with people and we might get a certain response from someone when we have an experience in life and we don't, we're sort of projecting outward that we may be, are not the defining factor in that experience. Like I think we need to ask the question of. Why more? Why not? As little kids ask why all the time. And I think it's beautiful. It shows curiosity and I don't say, ask why. So you can further, be mean to yourself because that's not what this is at all. This is simply to go, why might that be? Like, are you maybe acting from a place of conditioning, not from your own natural rhythm and timing? Why might it feel hard? Are you. Pushing shit uphill when that's not how you're meant to work. That's not, how you're meant to be in the world. I just think there is such a beautiful opportunity for us to really be intentional about redefining our relationship to time, because as I said in the start, as I shared with all the history goods we have. Had it developed for us. And while that is helpful in so many contexts, it's important to differentiate that timing construct from our own natural rhythms and not mesh the two so deeply that it takes us away from our own natural rhythm. Because what if you are actually right on time? What if. So this week, I mean notice like where are you forcing someone else's timing versus trusting your own natural rhythm, trusting where your body is guiding you instead of trying to manage time, instead of trying to hold tightly to it, grab it and hold it tightly. How can you work with it? How can you collaborate with it? How can you sink into the energy of time? Now, as I mentioned earlier, if you want my projector perspective to dive deeper into your human design chart and give you really personalized and specific insights into your relationship to time through a human design lens and how you can align better with your own natural rhythms, you are welcome to book a human design reading. Or an intuition in Bloom session, which is a single session. I will leave the link to both of those in the show notes. And if you have any questions, you are more than welcome to come and send me a DM on Instagram, which is@chloebennett.co. And if you have a question or request even for a future episode that you would love me to do you can access the community q and a form in the show notes. All of your questions or suggestions that go in there, I read them all. And I will be creating some beautiful episodes from those in the future. So either way, I am here and I trust that this has supported you. I hope that this has supported you in exactly the way that it was meant to today, and I will be back soon with another episode.
