![]() Lake is created by two layers of action followed by stabilizing yin, as if the water is brought in by an offshoot or push of force then becomes placid and calm. Heaven: The Creative (Associated with Gate 1) Anchoring ourselves in the essential, elemental nature of the trigrams allows us to understand the hexagrams and gates with more meaning. Like the Human Design gates, the combination of these trigrams creates meaning from inexplicable phenomena like feelings, creation, receptivity, and beyond. These trigrams can be seen as the building blocks for all the energies and expression of life. Ok, now onto the elements! In the I Ching there are 8 elements: fire, earth, lake, heaven, water, mountain, thunder, and wind. Just like the Human Design chart speaks to the body and personality, we need to honor the fact that we may be particles of stardust but we are essentially and importantly of the Earth – at least in this incarnation. I love this contemplation because it grounds the idea that we are both physical and spiritual beings. Many spiritual teachers and authors site the elements as our original ancestors as we are all comprised of the same fundamental building blocks as beings here on Earth. Naturally, this system of divination uses the core elements of nature. Let’s dive in, shall we? Elements in the I Ching My intention here is to give you some basic information that will allow you to deepen your relationship with the energies of the hexagrams and broaden your ability to integrate their lessons and gifts. ![]() As someone who gives Human Design readings, I do recommend consulting someone who has integrated all the layers of the chart when you feel called – BUT I am also a big fan of DIY-ing. Stripped of its essential building blocks and origins, Human Design can feel like a completely arbitrary system that requires a professional for interpretation. If you have tried to learn the Human Design gates without the foundational knowledge of the I Ching hexagrams and elements, you may feel a bit disoriented. Since these energies are the archetypes of Humanity, all the basic roles appear."Įssentially, the Human Design system is intrinsically connected to the I Ching and the meta-knowledge that it holds. In describing these archetypal energies and their aspects, one is ultimately describing roles. ![]() The form of the Rave I ‘Ching is to use images, examples, stories, and ideas to express the potentials of these energies. From the absolutely yin (The Receptive 2) to the absolutely yang (The Creative 1), the entire spectrum of energy is covered. The 64 Hexagrams are divided into two groups of thirty two. In Das Human Design System, or the Black Book, Alan Krakower (Ra Uru Hu) writes, "The I ‘Ching is based on the Yin/Yang duality. As the planets move through astrological signs, they also travel through the I Ching hexagram. The Hexagrams of the I Ching are used to make up the gate structure (all the numbers written on the centers). If you are new to Human Design and are unfamiliar with where the I Ching comes in, look no further than the profile lines and gates (hexagrams). I will admit that I am far from an expert in the I Ching but it brings me so much joy to shine a light on this beautiful and ancient tradition.
