Human Design Description:

Gate 16: Enthusiasm - The Gate of Skills: Quarter of Form

You are skilled in many ways but need to learn to master any specific skill through repetition. You need to be strongly identified with a skill in order to dedicate yourself to a process that requires constant repetition to perfect a pattern (e.g. learning to play a piece of music). Then your skill can become art: the dancer becomes the dance.
Without needing a particular skill, this talent can also manifest as an art for living. You may feel insecure about lacking in depth; this can be overcome through dedication and consistent effort toward mastering a specific skill and bringing it to flowering.

1st Line: Delusion - False enthusiasm

Detriment:
- The public communication of inevitably unrealized claims. The tendency to express fantasy as fact

Channel of Wavelength - A Design of Talent: (16/48)

This channel is activated in your Human Design chart when gate 16 connects to gate 48.

This is the channel of talent and skill that needs to be consistently worked on and improved.
- This process is about mastery, and you are here to find something in life that you identify with strongly so you can stay with the process and over time achieve mastery of it.
- By combining depth with skill over time, you achieve mastery of a pattern that eventually transcends the pattern.
- Only through consistent effort and willingness to practice are you able to refine and master whatever it is that calls you.
- Nurturing this talent involves hard work and commitment to bear fruit.
- By combining intuitive depth with practice, technique and commitment to perfect your skills, you are able to share your talents and possibly improve the lives of others.
This Channel is part of the Understanding Circuit:
- The Understanding Circuit describes the logical process of the collective which is experimental. Here we look to find patterns that can be relied upon to carry us safely into the future, patterns and formulas that can be validated through repeated testing, and substantiated by details.
- The keynote for the collective group is Sharing, and in the Understanding Circuit this is about sharing our logical gifts such as analysis, assessments, opinions, details, judgements and so forth, to concretize those patterns that prove valuable.
- This circuit is essentially about Projection - projecting formulas and patterns into the future.
Channel 48: The Well - The Gate of Depth: Quarter of Relationships
The necessary and qualitative foundation that is a prerequisite to establish the common good.
- You carry an innate wisdom, a depth that is rooted in instinctual memory and that you can apply towards problems that require a solution.
- Despite the depth, your inherent insecurity can make you feel inadequate at times.
- You need others to call out your depth.
- While you often are able to come up with workable solutions, it is best to wait to be recognized so you can then share your insights and be heard.
- You may find yourself worrying about lacking skills, but simply need to wait for those who recognize your depth and call out your skills by complimenting yours with their own.
- Your potential solutions you offer can end up being used to provide the foundation for others in to perfect their skills as well.

I CHING Description: 16 - YU Enthusiasm

There are events that have just begun or are about to be placed before you that can either serve you or defeat you.

You have choice to make:

You can choose to use this time of enthusiasm to bring light and love to your family, tribe, projects, and all those around you.

OR:

You can allow this great force to cause you to retreat and sink into that old, familiar apathy you have to come to know so well over the years.

Please do NOT buy into what has been programmed into our societal minds, that we are all alone in this world. That is simply not true. You know this already on an intuitive level. Now is the time to stop giving away your power by always looking to outside forces to give you the answers or to tell you what to do. Do not follow blindly. Instead, begin looking within and trusting in yourself knowing that you will be led correctly by your own inner compass. Trust your intuition and collect what you need now in order to meet your future joyously and enthusiastically!

Other Factors Keep in Mind for this Hexagram:

Don’t get caught up in all of the small details. Think more big picture. What are your hopes and dreams for a new earth? Maybe one that is kinder, that conserves energy and uses Mother Earths resources wisely. One where we are able live in harmony with Gaia and one another in unity and love. One where we are each able to realize that we are all sovereign, free beings and begin to work together as one.
Become the observer and do not let any negative feedback dampen your spirit or enthusiasm at this time.
Create a harmonious and enthusiastic environment that brings about creative energy as an open exchange and positive feedback.
Enjoy the present moment and take pleasure in all of life's little moments.

Heart Theme: 39 -The Difficult comings and goings that prepare us for deliverance.

Voice of the Divine Feminine:

Build up the ability to respond directly, joyously, spontaneously and effectively to any situation.
Gathering reserves of energy and grace into a storage of power and virtue from which you can respond without thought when a call to action comes your way.
Martial arts training - learning to respond directly and correctly allows you to enjoy each moment and to take pleasure in life. Do not allow for yourself to subconsciously react to any triggers. Focus on becoming consciously aware of your negative ego triggers. Instead become the observer and develop your mental abilities so that you are able to override any stimulus you come in contact with consciously.
- Take time to think things through
- Establish and empower helpers
- Developing your inner devotion brings you a liberating awareness of the whole.
Seasonal Cycle: Steps of Progression
- When seasons change, it releases the tension that has been building up. This is the time to change your way of thinking and being in the world from the old ways that are no longer serving you or humanity as a whole. Be a leader, bring enthusiasm to your community and tribe, but be sure to remain humble in the face of this force of great joy and completion.
  - Find the seed of the new (16) - Don’t call out for help. Lead by example. Be generous and learn how to activate the creative energy within you in a balanced, healthy way.
  - Rouse New Growth (51) - Stay calm when others are confused. Watch who you let in. Re-imagine and re-visualize the whole situation.
  - Ripen the Fruits (21) - by biting through the obstacles. Work to change your perspective. Be clear and simple. Your worth will soon be recognized.
  - Harvest the Crop (35) - by applying your talents. Strip away any negativity and begin to take action. You can influence people if you master your words, remove core fears and trauma (ancestral trauma also), eliminate the negative ego and effects of societal programming, and begin to develop the skills of true humble leadership by leading from the heart (see Leadership vs. Tyranny). Hidden forces are working in your favor at this time.

Voice of the Divine Masculine:

This represents transformation where the realizing power of Earth manifests as words that carry into the new.
This is symbolically the time in life when we confront our problems surrounding our Individual identity, sexuality, and personal destiny.
This is experienced through our Centers of Power - a time when we work on taking back our power and developing our own sovereignty.
Change from the Inside Out: Enthusiasm plus work is what generates energy, and therefore, results. New initiatives are auspicious at this time. First impressions are very important, so be sure to bring genuine enthusiasm to the table. This should be presented in adventurous and exciting ways, with an added element of magic into the mix as well.
- Preparation:
  - Immediate Future: Begin to prepare yourself - the call is coming.
  - Personal Development: work on developing a deep capacity for joy.
  - Working within the Family: bring out the symbols that connect us to the flow.
  - Expanding the Circle: Use enthusiasm and quality to generate profit.
  - Partnership: concentrate on what delights you most and build up a store of loving energy.

Transforming Line 1: Beginnings (May 27th)

The return of the spirit attracts a new fate.

Do not call out to others for help at this time.
Let your actions speak for you, not your words - be a positive example/role model.
Eliminate negativity and work on being of the highest service to help all.
Be generous
This shock will bring up new energy and will release energy that was previously bound up within the past.
Gather conserved energy in order to be ready for the decisive new move coming your way.

Transforming Line 2: Inner Center (Active on May 28th)

This inner re-organization leads to harmony with others.

The limits you set turn you to stone. Do not complete the day like this.

Free yourself from the limiting beliefs you have set for yourself both consciously and on a subconscious level.
Your purpose is correct and now is the time to expand.
Attack your problems aggressively with a neutral mindset. In the greatest of difficulties, partners will show up to assist you if you are true to yourself.
You can catch any hidden negativity that may still be lingering, and in turn, acquire the power to act directly. This will release the energy now bound up within the past.
Cooperate with the ongoing processes of change (40 - Deliverance/Liberating)
