Energy Weaving with the Wandering Shaman: Quantum Human Design & Shamanic Wisdom - May 3, 2025 - The Sun Enters the Gate of Allowing/The Earth Enters the Gate of Purpose

Hello everyone!  Welcome back to my podcast, where we explore the movement of the sun and the Earth through the Human Design Chart, as well as some shamanic wisdom to help us out along the way.   If you are just finding me, don’t worry about what you may have missed; you are welcome to go back and listen to previous episodes, or you can just jump in where we are.  I do recommend, however, that if you are new to Human Design and/or Shamanism, go back and listen to Episode 0 of this podcast.  I give a brief introduction to both concepts there, with a lot of the “lingo” explained.  You can also read the Introductory blog post here, where I briefly introduce both concepts; it may help you as we move through the year.  

Today is May 3, 2025, and the sun is lighting up Gate 2 - the Gate of Allowing - and the earth is highlighting Gate 1 - the Gate of Purpose.  Both of these gates are located on the Identity or “G” Center in the bodygraph.  It’s the diamond right in the middle.  This Center is part of the Heart Center and holds the magnetic resonance field of the Magnetic Monopole.  That’s not a term we have used yet, and I want to expand on that concept a little more.  In Human Design, the Magnetic Monopole is a metaphysical concept.  It is said to be an energetic force with its primary role being to "Hold you together and pull you along your unique life path."

• It unifies your mind and body.

• It attracts the right experiences, people, and circumstances that align with your unique purpose.

• It’s magnetic in the sense of attraction, but it’s one-directional — hence, monopole. It doesn’t repel; it only draws in what’s correct for you.

So it is important that we stay in alignment so that we are attracting the things that are in our highest and best good. 

What happens with this monopole if we are out of alignment in some way?

When you're out of alignment, you're essentially not letting the Magnetic Monopole do its job properly. Here's how that could play out:

1. You could experience mental interference.  This is when your mind starts trying to “drive” the vehicle (your life), but it’s not the driver — the monopole is.  This can lead to confusion, misaligned decisions, and chasing things that aren’t correct for you.

2. You could be experiencing more resistance, struggle, frustration, bitterness, or disappointment, depending on your type.  These aren’t just bad feelings — they’re red flags from your body that you're off-track.

3. You may feel disconnected from your purpose: The Magnetic Monopole is always pulling you toward your purpose. But if you're not listening to your strategy and authority, you may not hear or feel that pull.

4. You might feel "stuck," like you're spinning in circles or constantly in the wrong place at the wrong time.

   
   

So, how do we fix that?  

1. Follow your strategy and authority; this is the #1 way to get back in sync with the monopole’s pull.  It’s like clearing the static so you can “hear” the signal again.

2. Let go of mental control.  Your mind is great at observing and reflecting, and analyzing data, and storing information, but it’s not here to make major life decisions.

3. Trust the process. The Magnetic Monopole works through timing and attraction. When you’re aligned, life unfolds more effortlessly, and the “right” things show up.

So, back to Gates 1 and 2.  How are the Sun and Earth helping us for the next few days?  Well, the Sun in Gate 2, the Gate of Allowing, challenges us to love ourselves enough to be open to the flow of support, love, and abundance that comes from the Universe.  So I ask you, do you allow yourself to receive all of the gifts of love and support and abundance that the Universe is offering you?  Do you love yourself enough, and do you feel worthy of all those blessings?  If not, we need to work on that, and I will have some affirmations to help reprogram your thinking for you at the end of this episode.  Also contained in this gate is the idea of asking for help when we need it.  Do you ask for help when you need it?  Why or why not?  This is the perfect week to practice asking for help.  The energy of this gate is activated and accessible to everyone.  And you don’t necessarily have to ask another human for help.  You can just put your request out to the Universe.  So I challenge you to ask for help where you need it and see what blessings the Universe brings forth for you.

Now, Gate 1, the Gate of Purpose, is all about having a deep connection to your life’s purpose.  You may feel a pressure to fulfill your purpose; you may experience a deep quest for meaning.  The energy of this Gate begs us to be authentic and to come to know our authentic self.  This will help us to know our purpose.  If you struggle with finding your purpose, you may be out of alignment and need to work on loving and accepting yourself.  This Center is all about loving yourself.  So again, the affirmations may help if you struggle in this area.  But learning to love yourself is not a quick or easy task.  It may take years of reprogramming conditioned beliefs that have led you to think poorly of yourself and not to appreciate that you are an integral part of the Divine plan of this Universe.  So ask yourself:  Do you feel connected to your life purpose?  Where have you “settled” or compromised?  How can you more deeply express your Authentic Self?  Do you love and accept yourself?  That doesn’t mean you aren’t striving to heal and better yourself, but is that striving coming from a place of love or a place of shame or fear or inadequacy?  Our intentions make a huge difference.  

So let’s end with some affirmations.  Take what resonates with you.  Write them out, post them on sticky notes around your house, read them into a recorder, and listen to yourself on repeat, or listen to me on repeat.  Whatever works best for you.

1. My life is an integral part of the Divine plan.

2. I honor my life and my authentic self.

3. I allow myself to receive the abundance that the Universe has to offer.

4. I strive to better myself out of love for myself.

5. I am worthy of all the love and support in the Universe.

The thing about affirmations is that we don’t have to believe them in order for them to work.  In fact, we usually employ the use of affirmations BECAUSE we are trying to change and reprogram our belief system.  So it makes sense that they don’t feel natural and that we don’t believe a word we are saying.  The trick is to keep using them; they are reprogramming your subconscious and unconscious mind first, creating new neuropathways.  Once those are in line, our conscious mind will catch up, and we will start to believe them.  It takes time and is hard work, but the pay-off will come.

My next episode will drop on May 9th, when the sun is in Gate 23 - the Gate of Transmission, and the Earth is in Gate 43, the Gate of Insight.  Until then, take good care, practice loving yourself, and we’ll see you soon.
