Daily Impact - April 29 2024, 16:01 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 3 - The addict

Keynote: The powerful attraction of regressive forms.

Exalted: The ultimate though difficult triumph over regression. The difficult but possible task of overcoming irrationality.

Detriment: Addiction and regression legitimized by success. Irrationality maintained and legitimized by success.

* 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.

3RD LINE DAY : Trial and Error • Mutative • Material • Bonds made and Broken

This is a mutative time where things may not go as planned. Flow with the chaos that may come with this day. Use your Strategy and Authority to navigate through what may be the meeting of the unexpected.

The 3rd Line carries with it the tendency to ‘bump’ into things or people. Now this could be perceived as negative or positive. Negative in terms of accidents or breakages or positive in terms of the sudden appearance of an old friend or perhaps finding yourself outside a store that has exactly what you want at a sale price.

The 3rd Line is also known as the Line of Trial and Error. So this can be a time when more inaccuracies or mistakes may manifest. It is a process of experiential learning. Sure, something may go wrong, but in learning why it went wrong new discoveries may be made.

The 3rd Line also has a material connotation to it. So this is also a time when money could be made... or lost. It is a time when the material demands of modern society may wear heavy on our heads or a time when we get to grips with the material necessities and deal with it.

There is also the possibility of experiencing shame in some way due to ‘mistakes’ that may be made. We need to be forgiving of ourselves, and others, today. After all it is the transit that is affecting us, and it is not as easy to live by one’s Strategy and Authority as is to understand it conceptually. Also see that ‘mistakes’ are essential for us to grow; by encountering limits we may not recognise in ourselves unless we experience them.

Bonds being made and broken is an important 3rd Line theme. The 3rd Line is adaptive and that entails breaking bonds that are obstructive, restricting or unpleasant. If you have a 3rd Line in your Profile, then it is important for you to break the bonds in order to expand your experience of life. On this day everyone will be conditioned to do so to some extent. Our Strategy and Authority will let us know if it’s correct or not. Be aware that the majority of the population don’t know they are being conditioned today by this theme, so watch it play out. Bonds that have been broken can be mended later on, in some cases.

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.
