Happy Rave New Year Beautiful Soul! 🌟
The Human Design "New Year" starts on January 22nd when the Sun moves into the 41st gate.
Now, why does the 41st gate mark the new year in Human Design? This is because the 41st gate correlates with the start codon in our biological genetic code.
The Genetic Code is made up of combinations of 4 letters: A, T, C, & G. These letters are called bases and are the building blocks of our own unique genetic code. It is the different combinations of these letters that lets the body know what to create when making new cells, replacing old cells, and to heal.
When the spefic letter sequence: ATG shows up in your genetic code the body knows that this is the start of instructions of what to do next.
This 41st gate is connected to this ATG letter sequence and operates like a front door key to open the rest of the code.
So depending on what frequency your "front door" is in will affect the frequency of the rest of the house (your body, mind, and consciousness).
To understand where you are at, let's talk a little about the 41st gate and the energy it holds.
The 41st Gate is the Gate of Decrease or the Gate of contraction and what this mean is it hold the energy of basically learning to be resourceful with what you have. When there is a limitation of resources this can maximize your potential depending on how you deal with your limitations.
There is a great pressure within this gate because it is located in the Root Center, which is a pressure center, and the 41st gate holds the pressure to feel or have new experiences. To use this energy properly we must focus and be fully present on one experience at a time. When we do this we have the capacity to maximize the potential of each experience fully and transcend to a higher frequency.
If you'd like to learn more about the 41st, Root Center, and how they affect your design stay tuned because I'm in the processes of creating a course where we take a deep dive into the power held in the Root Center.
You can signup for my newsletter to stay in the loop when that will be released and I'll also send you my "Beginner's Guide to Aligned Energy Centers" by clicking here.
Until then, be present in your day today. Focus on each new experience you have, one at a time. Check in with each feeling you have simply observing where you're energetically at as you move into this New Year in Human Design.
As always if you have questions or comments feel free to post them below!

2023 is just around the corner...
this is the time that many of us have been conditioned to start thinking about the coming year and set "goals" for what we want to achieve and do.
Here's the thing traditional goal setting only work for ~1/3 of the population,
those with a defined Heart/Ego center. Now, why do I say 'maybe'? because even if you have a defined Heart Center, where you have consistent access to willpower, if you're not in true alignment and functioning in a healthy space in that center the goals you create may not truly be in alignment for you and you won't be using that energy you have correctly.
When you have a defined Heart center and you're operating in a healthy and aligned way, traditional goal setting can be super powerful for you because you have the will power to see those goals through as long as those goals are in alignment and initiated from your Strategy and Authority.
Now, what about the rest of us with an undefined Heart Center?
Well, I suggest first contemplating if traditional goal setting has ever really worked for you. Does it resonate? Does it keep you motivated? Or has it done more harm than good? Does it stress you out? Have you wondered why, year after year you can't stick to your goals?
With an undefined Heart Center you do not have consistent access to operating from pure willpower, you are not designed to make promises to yourself, or anyone else for that matter. That's conditioning that will just set you up for failure.
So instead of taking the route of setting traditional goals this year, take a breath, release the pressure, and try setting an intention for 2023. Reframe those goals into intentions then surrender to your Strategy and Authority, take inspired action, and see where the year takes you.
If you'd like to see if you're Heart Center is defined, undefined, or open you can head to my website and run your Human Design Chart:
If you'd like to learn more about the operating in alignment within each of your energy centers and de-conditioning you can snag the "Beginners Guide to Aligned Energy Centers" and I'll walk you through the Not-Self themes of each energy center to watch out for and contemplations to help you work through your conditioning so you can live with more ease, flow, and trust in life.
I'm so excited to see what you release in 2023 so you can step into the person you are designed to be.
To you're freedom,

Happy Winter Solstice! Here's what you need to know from a Human Design Perspective...
Today (Dec. 21st 2022) and every Winter Solstice the Sun moves into the 10th Gate line 2. This is written out 10.2
Gate 10 resides in the G center of the body graph which is our center of love, identity, and direction.
The 10th gate is the true love and acceptance of yourself as you were designed to be, not the conditioned self.
Ra Uru Hu, the founder of the Human Design System, always said that when we don't love ourselves it is not our true self that we do not love, but the conditioned self.
So every Winter Solstice is a day to work through our de-conditioning and feel the energy of truly loving and accepting who we are designed to be. To do this you simply surrender to your Strategy and Authority. In doing this you take the first steps in releasing what is not truly yours and embrace your process of becoming you again.
For today I encourage you to experiment fully with your Strategy and Authority by honoring it. If you a Manifestor inform and take action on the things that have been calling to you, Generators and Manifesting Generator see what you respond to throughout the day and what your authority tells you about those things, Projectors see what invitations comes your way and listen to your Authority if those invitations are correct for you. If you're a Reflector fully experience the day be open to what the day brings and observe how different experiences shift the energy within you.
With the Sun being in the 2nd line of the 10th gate (10.2) this is the line of the hermit and how the hermit is designed to deal with conditioning is by withdrawing. So if you are feeling like someone is trying to condition you away from your true self today, give yourself permission to withdraw. Set that boundary in place today because that energy is there for you to utilize. This gives you the space to not take that conditioning on. Listen to and follow your Strategy and Authority.
Winter Solstice brings with it a strong energy that empowers your potential to live authentically as yourself, embracing and accepting the unique being that you are.
Release what is not you and fall into deep love and acceptance of who you are designed to be, when you do this you empower others to do the same. This is one way you can shift the world into a higher frequency.
Love yourself,
Mallory
This holiday season has been a little off for my family, I am genuinely sending all of the good energy to you and your family that you've experienced a little more holiday magic than we have in the last few weeks.
As all of your gatherings approach I wanted to share with you a few tips I have around how experiment with how you're designed this Holiday season.
For many of us this is truly a time of good cheer but for other's not so much. I've personally found that as I've embraced my design and followed my Strategy and Authority (S&A) it has helped me tremendously stay in alignment as I see family and friends, some whom I adore and some whom, well... not so much.
So let's break down what following your S&A looks like during your holiday gatherings.
Generators and Manifesting Generators...
Take a step back and observe what you respond to. How is your sacral energy responding to different people and/or situations? Start getting in touch with your sacral energy and see what it feels called to want more of and what it recoils from. See what your open aura is pulling towards you. Just observe, this will give you a good indication of where your energy is at.
Projectors...
Same with you, take a step back and observe. Instead of feeling obligated in initiating conversation wait for the other to engage with you. Be at peace if you just want to talk to one person the whole event and really dive into that conversation. Do your best to focus on one person at a time, remember you have a very penetrating aura that is meant to hone in on and connect with one person at a time. Wait to give/offer advice until you are invited to by the other, save your wisdom and energy for those that ask for it.
If you want to try a fun experiment with your aura, zero your focus in on someone and see how long it takes them to turn around.
Manifestors...
Stand in your power and listen to that inner authority. If there is something that your authority is telling you listen to it and then as politely as possible inform those whom you need to about your decision, then take action. Your true people will understand and follow if they're meant to. You're designed to be an initiator so if there is a fun game or some other activity you've been wanting to do, set it up and invite the other's to join you and go do your thing!
Reflectors...
Really observe the differences in your energy when you're around different groups of people. How you're feeling your energy is a reflection of those people around you. Do you feel healthy and happy? Do you feel more uplifted? Does your energy feel more pulled down to a lower frequency? You have so much wisdom in the healthy of other's physically. emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. Start to tap into that because it's your super power. Allow yourself to taste the energy of others, but remember to be a screen not a sponge. You do not need to take on their energy, simply observe it. Then when you get some remember to tune into your energy centers and do a little clearing out of what is not your energy.
For everyone...
You are designed and worthy of being with people that bring more joy and loving energy into your life. You are worthy of having other's lift your frequency up and not bring it down. You are not here to people please. You can be kind and Stand strong in who you are. This is the perfect time to experiment with your Strategy and Authority, be light hearted in this experiment, look at is through the eyes of a child with curiosity. Let go of the judgement and just observe.
Remember people's behavior says more about them then it does you.
If you need a refresher on your Strategy and Authority you can always re-run your chart by clicking the button below!
Sending you all of the love this holiday season,

Energy Centers in Human Design: Why they matter and what’s their purpose.
In Human Design there are 9 different energy centers and these are derived from the 7 energy centers of the Hindu Chakra System. See the image below…

So what happened? Well, humanity has evolved. For a long time we needed to listen to outer authority to make the world work and grow. This is how the 7 centered being operated, they were designed to listen to outer authority and listen to logical processes. To create the world that we have today that was needed. But, we have not evolved into the 9 centered beings that we are today and we are no longer meant to follow outer authority like our 7 centered ancestors.
The 9 centered beings are designed to follow their own inner authority, and this is the power of Human Design because it let’s you know what center your inner authority lies in so you can start to develop a relationship with that authority and learn to trust it above all else.
So what's the purpose of each energy center?
Each Energy Center has a specific function. It's how we're able to process things in the world.
So here’s a quick breakdown of each of the 9 Energy Centers for ya:
Root center = pressure and stress to get you going and to evolve
Ajna = how you conceptualize and process information and what's going on in your life
Head = center for inspiration and pressure to think
Heart = your will center
G = center of love, identity, & direction
Splenic center = health & instinct
Solar plexus = center of emotion.
Sacral center = vital life force energy
Throat = manifestation & communication
