Daily Impact - April 28 2024, 21:42 UTC *

The ‘Daily Impact’ interpretation reflects the impact of the Sun and Earth (70% of the neutrino influence) on what happens in the world as time moves us through the Gates and Lines of the Human Design wheel. 

What is offered here is a general frame to the day, especially in terms of external conditioning and potential identification with the power of the Sun’s influence through a particular Gate theme. Also consider what is written about the grounding effect of the Gate in the Earth position of the day. Take note of the Line of the day and think about the quality of the Line and the Rave I Ching cryptic sentence. And, of course, pay attention to any Channels that may be formed on the day, as that Life Force will most certainly be relevant to whatever happens. 

For those of you who are more familiar with the Gates and Channels, pay attention to the chart of the day which shows us the detail of the day’s imprint. Look for Gates that may join a ‘hanging’ Gate in your chart, notice the planetary accent it has and ponder upon its relevance to your day. Above all else, ‘The Daily Impact’ is a tool to assist subscribers to witness themselves living their life within ‘The Program’ and becoming more aware by observing the themes unfold.


Gate 24 - Returning

Keynote: THE GATE OF RATIONALISING

Bodygraph position: The AJNA Centre

Quarter: The Quarter of Initiation - Purpose fulfilled through Mind

Line 2 - Recognition

Exalted: The proper and spontaneous adaption to new forms. The potential gift of conceptualizing spontaneously.

Detriment: The vanity to see transformation as a personal achievement rather than a socially supported or natural phenomenon. The mental vanity that the gift of conceptualizing spontaneously can produce.

* Here we see the comedian and actor Bill Murray in his famous ‘Groundhog Day’ film, where the character Murray plays, finds himself living through the same day again and again. He is the only one who remembers what previously happened and so he can predict what will happen at every moment as the same scenarios play out repeatedly. The humour is in him being able to interact differently with those around him as the same day is relived endlessly... until eventually time moves on in the normal linear fashion we usually experience. The expression on his face, in this image, is of him just meeting the same thing once again.



With the influence of this Individual conceptualising Gate we can expect a time when we can find ourselves pondering over the same thing again and again, trying to rationalise something that cannot be proven.

So this is a good time for thinking, brainstorming and considering new ways to deal with previously unsolvable problems or situations. The potential is there for a sudden mental knowing to crystalise, that will allow us to see things in a completely new way.

This is not a good time for decisive action or starting things. Allow yourself time to ponder without forcing a resolution based on old patterns or conventional wisdom. The ‘discarded improbable’ may be the missing factor that makes all the difference.

There may also be the rarely experienced ‘Déjà vu’ sense that you’ve already lived the same moment before.

On the other hand, there is an increased likelihood of mental anxiety or worrying about something again and again when there seems to be no way forward. Yet at the same time there can be a knowing that there is a way through it, but that way just doesn’t seem to be forthcoming, no matter how much you think about it.

There can be a melancholy that comes out of the blue and lingers for longer than usual. Listening to music can help soothe the mental process, and help you come to terms with the sense that there is nothing to understand until resolution arises; and when that happens is not in our control. Knowing comes when it does.

It could also be a time when the musicians amongst you find a new and interesting way to combine harmonies and dissonance to create new sounds. You may also want to use longer pauses between the notes after significant movements in your compositions, or repetitions that induce unusual states of consciousness in your audience.

Top Tip 1: Relax. Let the ‘mad mind’ do its thing. Don’t let it get in the way of you living your life to the full. Follow your Strategy and Authority and let the mind be like ‘background radio’. Don’t allow yourself to waste time thinking about things that really don’t matter in your life.

Top Tip 2: Carry a notebook with you. If a 'Eureka!' moment suddenly happens, you’ll want to write it down.

The 44th Gate of Alertness appears in the Earth position, grounding us in becoming more aware of our interactions with others. This may give rise to new entrepreneurial instincts that can smell out worthwhile product ranges to be sold. It may also bring us greater awareness about how to deal with those we normally find tricky to handle.

Harmonic Gate

If you have the 61st ‘Gate of Mystery’, the Hexagram of ‘Inner Truth’ in your chart, then this is a time when you may be productive in pondering the mysteries of occult knowledge. Your mind may be working at a faster pace than normal. Give yourself time to process new inspirations that may download suddenly into your consciousness.

2ND LINE DAY : Hermit • Natural • Playful • Being

This is the Line of the ‘Hermit’. So this may well be a day when we would rather be alone and in our own self-motivation. It may be a day of ‘pottering’ doing a little bit of one thing and then naturally moving onto something else and the whole day can go by quickly.

The 2nd Line carries with it the tendency to be unaware and naïve. So it may be a day when ‘the rug gets pulled out from under us’. Or, more simply put, a day when we can have encounters we never planned or expected.

The 2nd Line is also known as the Line of the ‘Natural’. So this can be a time when there can be a smoothness in displaying certain natural gifts we may possess, due to the Resonance (2nd Line Gates) or Harmonies (5th Line Gates) in our Design.

The 2nd Line also has a youthful connotation to it, so today may be a time when we are conditioned to be more playful. Notice in children the astonishing natural gift they have of moving rapidly from being upset one minute to laughing and forgetting about the upset the next. The fluidity of this natural influence can make work become a playful experience.

There is also the possibility of wanting to be naturally ‘open’ to others, like a child interested in new people or, as in accordance with the hermit theme, it can be a day of closing off to others, bringing the drawbridge up and preferring to spend time in your own space.

The 2nd Line has a reputation for saying, “I just can’t be bothered!” This is partly because of the self-motivated aspect of the Line. It is also because others can see into the 2nd Line gifts that we may possess in our Design, but we don’t know it. So people may repeatedly be telling us we’re brilliant at this or that and we just don’t want to know because we don’t think it’s anything special, or we don’t feel called to look at it at that time.

There is also the theme of being shy or bold. So we may want to avoid the ‘limelight’ or we may seek it out because of a mission we’re on at the moment.

The theme of being ‘called’ is inherent to today. 2nd Lines are basically ‘waiting for the call’. So there is also the possibility that we will be invited or shown or encounter something today that really ‘floats our boat’, and sets us in a new direction for which we are ideally suited.

Remember this 2nd Line theme is the transit of today. Just because it is affecting us doesn’t mean we should automatically follow ‘the call’, or hermit ourselves away. Our decisions lead to the kind of life we live. Decisions that are correct, according to Human Design, come from living by one’s Strategy and Authority.

Get to know the themes of the Lines as they come by as regular cycles throughout the weeks and months. As you track them, even occasionally, you will become more and more aware of the Program within which we live. Don’t let the conditioning of the day take you away from following your Strategy and Authority. Just look deeper into what is happening to you and around you.


Take this transit as an opportunity to see these themes occur within and around you. As you see them you will then have the opportunity to consider that you yourself may indeed be a pattern in a larger Program, as described by The Human Design System. If you can verify the truth of the transiting Gates in your life today, then I trust it will remind you to come back to following your Strategy and Authority - for that is the way to play the game. It is the way to wake up mechanically and experience what it is like to flow along in your life as yourself, without the resistance that comes from trying to live a conditioned life in a ‘Not-self’ world. 

As we notice the daily impact upon our own Human Design imprint during the day, we naturally grow in our awareness of ourselves and the adventure of what it is to be alive in a world that is constantly conditioning us.

Those who are Reflectors can align to the daily transit, paying particular attention to the drive of the Moon. The rest of us, Manifestors, Generators and Projectors are here to resist the conditioning in terms of our decision-making and learn from it to increase our wisdom.

* UTC

UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) is a time standard based on Earth's rotation. It is a modern continuation of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), i.e., the mean solar time on the Prime Meridian at Greenwich, England. Check the time in your location against UT to calculate precisely when this transit will impact you. For instance, if you live in New York you will be 5 hours behind UT.
