Reflection of the Week: The Lunar Nodes Are Changing
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit reflectorsreflections.substack.comOver the years of exploring Human Design as a non-ethnocentric anthropological lens on human nature - and as a kind of inner GPS for awareness - one of the aspects that has fascinated me most has been the Lunar Nodes.In our personal lives, the nodes speak to trajectory. They describe the movement from one perspective into another, the way we evolve through polarity over time. In the BodyGraph, they draw in and shape our perspective. I remember Ra using the term “suspended state of animation” to describe how easily our attention can become absorbed by what we are focused on - how we can become caught within the field of our own perception.For the past five months, collective attention has been drawn toward the socio-economic and legal structures that shape our societies. The Channel of Community - a Design of a Part Seeking a Whole - is deeply connected to social integration: belonging, reciprocity, agreements, support systems, and the ways we create sustainable exchanges with one another.During this period, many of those structures have appeared increasingly unstable. Questions around fairness, legality, trust, and mutual support have become difficult to ignore. We have witnessed underlying social contracts beginning to fracture, dissolve, or attempt to reorganize themselves into something new.This week’s nodal shift feels especially significant.While the 37/40 configuration has shown us what we are leaving behind in our collective journey, the incoming 55/59 configuration offers a glimpse of what may lie ahead.Gate 55 introduces the possibility of profound emotional uncertainty. When we identify completely with every emotional wave that passes through us, we become trapped in its movement - rising and falling continuously - and this inevitably impacts our relationships and intimacy through Gate 59.These nodes invite a different possibility: learning to witness our emotions rather than becoming entirely consumed by them.Gate 55 can also bring a sense of emptiness, especially when we are attached to the lower frequencies of the emotional wave. This can manifest as despair, emotional hunger, or the urge to fill an inner void through distraction, attachment, or temporary relief.And yet, there is another potential here.This new nodal perspective may reveal what can emerge from the ashes of old structures. It may awaken forms of intelligence hidden within the nervous system when regulation, awareness, and emotional depth are cultivated consciously. It may open unexpected doors toward compassion, intimacy, and interconnectedness.At the same time, these frequencies can also amplify confusion, emotional dispersion, and collective despair.As always, the question is not only what we experience, but how consciously we are able to meet it..The Neutrino Weather for this week is available to the Inner Circle.This week the neutrino weather is bringing forward significant shifts. The energy for developmental cycles and the materialisation of needs and deals and is making place for a significant shift in perspective due to a change in the Lunar Nodes.

Reflection of the week: The Channel of Maturation through the life of Fritz Perlz
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit reflectorsreflections.substack.comFritz Perls, the founder of Gestalt therapy, embodied the Channel [53-42] Maturation, promoting balanced development through his work. His innovative therapeutic approach and personal journey fueled his growth and maturation.Perls was initially working in psychiatry and psychoanalysis, and he found these fields overly focused on past experiences and intellectual analysis, which he believed disconnected patients from their emotions and bodies. This dissatisfaction drove him to advocate for deeper client engagement and the holistic integration of mind, body, and Spirit. Perls’ quest for growth led him to develop Gestalt therapy with his wife, focusing on Self-awareness and the present moment to achieve wholeness. This approach encourages individuals to fully experience and express their emotions and thoughts, resolving past issues through awareness. Perls’ journey was shaped by influences from existentialism, phenomenology and Eastern philosophies, evolving amidst the counterculture movement and his time at the Esalen Institute in the 1960s and 1970s, where he explored alternative approaches to growth and spirituality.Throughout his life, Perls continued to refine his methods, embodying a Spirit of ongoing development. His legacy profoundly impacts psychotherapy and beyond. In my view, Human Design can draw from Perls’ insights as well while also offering significant value in return to those exploring psychotherapy. Excerpt from my book “Understanding Our Energetic Architecture.” (pag. 427).The Neutrino Weather for this week is available to the Inner Circle.This week the neutrino weather is presenting interesting activations and energetic definitions. As the reflection refers to, we’re dealing with the Channel of Maturation in the weather but we also see Saturn moving into the Gate that is related to controlling ressources.

Reflection of the week: 4 months with a defined Heart Center in the Neutrino Weather
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit reflectorsreflections.substack.comSince a little before last Christmas, we’ve been moving through a period with a defined Heart Center in the neutrino weather. To begin with, the overarching perspective - set by the Nodes of the Moon - is the Channel of Community: a Design of a Part Seeking a Whole.Because the Nodes tend to remain in the same polarity of Gates for several months, this perspective has had time to settle. Many of us are beginning to feel that the established order of giving and taking - an equilibrium that has been in place since the end of WWII - is starting to crumble. Themes such as the Rule of Law, Human Rights, and the Welfare State have all taken significant hits, may no longer function as we have known them and are most probably continuing to crumble.This perspective is not only collective; it also penetrates our personal lives and relationships. It invites us to reassess the balance of giving and receiving, and to move from patterns of codependency toward a more conscious interdependency.At the same time, there has been more activation in the Heart Center, and this week is no exception. The Channel of Initiation - a Design of Needing to be First - is once again in the mix. There is a profound melancholy in this Channel, one that touches something deeply existential: Who am I? It echoes the words of Jesus, that one must receive the kingdom of God like a little child. In other words, it asks for a return to innocence which usually comes together with embracing our wounded Inner Child.So, embracing ourselves in that innocence is not always simple. Emotional wounds cloud it, and as a result this Channel can intensify an already charged emotional climate. At its lower expression, this same energy can manifest as impulsiveness, arrogance, or even megalomania or psychopathy - something that is not hard to recognize in the current global landscape.As the week unfolds, we also enter a new phase with Uranus moving into Gate 20, Contemplation. This brings an invitation to translate understanding into right action. It is a Gate of Integration, pointing toward awareness and awakening - but it also carries a risk. Instead of acting with clarity, we can become absorbed in passive observation, endlessly consuming information without truly engaging.The question, then, is how we meet this moment: whether we allow ourselves to be pulled into the distractions of Uranus consumed by the fear of tomorrow and the uncertainty of life, or whether we embody our understanding into ‘right action’ and an expression of Integration.The Neutrino Weather for this week is available to the Inner Circle.This week Uranus enters into Gate 20 and that brings forward quite shift. This planet doesn’t move fast so for quite a while we’ll see how this position puts us under the pressure on the Fear of Tomorrow in the Splenic Center. Out of such fear we can start giving our attention to all kinds of things and actions that distract us and do not help us to integrate our awareness into aligned action. They can range from being scattered in our attention to dullness toward Existence.

Reflection of the week: The combo of Mars and Saturn.
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit reflectorsreflections.substack.comThese days, Saturn and Mars are joining forces in the 17th Gate of Opinions—an energy whose overarching theme is captured in a this line:“The ancient law that those (thoughts) who wish to rule must know how to serve.”There’s something inherently paradoxical in this joining of forces. Saturn carries the weight of discipline, structure, and the archetypal father - authority, responsibility, and long-term stability. Mars, on the other hand, moves with raw drive, impulse, and a more immature, son-like force that wants to act, push forward, and claim space.The meeting of these two, brings forward a strong inner tension that I’ve been enmeshed within for a while now:-)These planets bring forward themes that tend to become deeply personal.Lately, I’ve been experiencing this as an internal revisiting of psychological patterns connected to my father. Not in a dramatic or overt way, but in a subtle, persistent questioning of how I hold myself - especially when it comes to stability, structure, and self-support.A core theme in my life has been this tension:How do I provide for myself - emotionally, structurally, financially - in the way that was once provided to me?Despite having skills and awareness, I’ve often struggled to establish financial and professional stability. There’s also been an ongoing challenge in creating an inner structure that truly supports me—something that feels steady, reliable, and aligned, rather than forced. Whenever I find myself in an environment where such structure is provided, I see I benefit tremendously from it so having it be part of my internal environment would be really supportive towards myself. With this current energy, all of that feels amplified.It’s as if the internal “father” and “son” are in conversation - the part of me that feels immature and the part that speaks of discipline, responsibility, and maturity.And somewhere between the two lies the lesson of the 17th Gate:To learn how to serve my own life with both clarity and commitment.This moment doesn’t feel like resolution yet.It feels like a reorganization.A quiet, sometimes uncomfortable, but necessary process of learning how to become the one who provides stability from within.That’s what I’m processing under this conjunction of Mars and Saturn, I wonder how things flow for you?The Neutrino Weather for this week is available to the Inner Circle.This is a week of with a lot of pressure on the Heart Center. From an aware perspective, we’re all under the influence of Neutrino Weather that is asking us to stay in tune with the energy of affection, of realising our deeply human nature and as one human family, the affection we can show towards each other.

Reflection of the week: This week the Sun will be moving through Gate 3, the Gate of Ordering.
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit reflectorsreflections.substack.comThere is a moment at the beginning of something new that doesn’t always feel so inspiring.It feels like confusion.Not because something is wrong - but because something that has never existed before is trying to take shape through you.Gate 3 is the vital energy for such the emergence of a new beginning.It carries the energy to initiate a unique pulse of life - but that pulse does not arrive with clarity. It arrives as disorder, as not knowing, as a space where the old no longer fits and the new has not yet formed.And this is where most people turn away.The mind doesn’t like confusion. It tries to fix it, avoid it, or replace it with certainty. But in doing so, it disconnects from something deeper - the organic intelligence that is trying to organize life from within.Confusion is not the problem. Attachment to mental certainty is.There is a Sufi approach that invites total confusion - to the point where all knowledge falls away. What remains is emptiness. And from that emptiness, something real begins to emerge.Not mental clarity. But inner knowing.Gate 3 asks for a different kind of trust. Not in what you can explain - but in what you can feel moving through you, even when it makes no sense yet.Because order does not come from forcing things into place.It comes from allowing life to organize itself through you.So if things feel unclear this coming week, consider this: You may not be lost. You may be at the exact point where something new is trying to be born and that can be difficult.(See pag. 515 of my book “Understanding Our Energetic Architecture.”The Neutrino Weather for this week is available to the Inner Circle.This is a week of development, movement, something new trying to …[See the Neutrino Weather full video and commentary in the inner circle bellow]* Instant access to the full archive of previous posts* Two live Zoom gatherings per month (bring your Bodygraph for live commentary + Q&A)For anyone subscribing to my newsletter (inner circle), I would like to inform you that you are invited to assist and bring your own bodygraph and questions LIVE, every two weeks, on Sunday at 10:00AM Madrid time in my zoom room.

Reflection of the week: Mars and Neptune conjunct in Gate 25.
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit reflectorsreflections.substack.comSince some time now, there has been a lot of activation in Gate 25 in the G Center. This gate speaks of “the perfection of action through an uncontrived and spontaneous nature.” That uncontrived, spontaneous quality points to innocence—simply Being as a unique expression of Love in movement.Today I’m leaving India after five months, and one of the things I’ve deeply appreciated here is how tangible that innocence still is. It lives close to the surface—in interactions, on people’s faces, in the ease of a smile, a gentle head shake or the chaos of codeless traffic.Recently, Saturn moved through this gate, as did the Sun, while Neptune remains there for a while longer. This week, Mars joins as well. For me, this activation has brought subtle tones of melancholy and insignificance—an interesting space, because it seems to sit alongside a longing to be someone, to become something more defined or contrived. Yet the real beauty lies elsewhere: in dissolving into the vast ocean of Love from which we arise.At the same time, it has awakened a quiet courage—the willingness to leap into the void, what Fritz Perls called the fertile void. There is an immense sense of freedom there, and a vast, almost limitless potential.When Mars and Neptune meet in this space, astrologers often associate it with visionary courage, creative leadership, and spiritually guided action. Yet its shadow can manifest as misdirected impulses, chasing illusions, or acting without clear grounding. This is very much in line with how Human Design looks at this aspect of the Bodygraph.It’s a great place when there is no-thing, “and no religion too,” as John Lennon sang.So this week offers an invitation—to tap into that fertile emptiness. A space full of potential, where the more empty it seems, the fuller it becomes. That is the beauty of its paradox.You can get my book on Amazon.The Neutrino Weather for this week is available to the Inner Circle.We are entering a week of movement, of development, of things picking up …[See the Neutrino Weather full video and commentary in the inner circle bellow]* Instant access to the full archive of previous posts* Two live Zoom gatherings per month (bring your Bodygraph for live commentary + Q&A)For anyone subscribing to my newsletter (inner circle), I would like to inform you that you are invited to assist and bring your own bodygraph and questions LIVE, every two weeks, on Sunday at 10:00AM Madrid time in my zoom room.

Reflection of the week: This Earth, The Lotus Paradise.
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit reflectorsreflections.substack.comI’ve been spending the last five months at the Osho International Meditation Resort - a place that feels like home to me, and one I seem to return to during times of transformation when a need for quiet inner turning becomes stronger. The other night, I attended one of his discourse meditations, and listening to Osho often feels, to me, like listening to silence taking the form of words. As I sat there, I heard a phrase that landed straight in my heart: “This Earth, the Lotus Paradise.”Something in me opened. The simplicity and beauty of those words felt like a remembrance. This earth we live on is so magical, so majestic, so profoundly alive -and like the lotus that rises untouched from muddy waters, there is in us too the potential to awaken into something pure and aware. Paradise is not somewhere else, but something that reveals itself when we are present enough to see.As far as we understand, and as Human Design suggest, this human life offers a rare doorway - to become aware of ourselves as witnessing consciousness. Our bodies, our breath, this very moment… all of it is an invitation into that quiet, choiceless awareness. And when I touch that space, even briefly, I feel free, loving, in awe -deeply grateful to simply be here.I don’t feel there is much to say about it. It is more like a soft remembering that comes and goes, especially in these times of intense upheaval when anxiety and uncertainty can easily take over. And yet, these moments, these words, gently bring me back—to what is essential. To the silent knowing that being here, on this earth, in this mysterious unfolding, is in itself a tremendous gift.You can get my book on Amazon.The Neutrino Weather for this week is available to the Inner Circle.[See the Neutrino Weather full video and commentary in the inner circle bellow]* Instant access to the full archive of previous posts* Two live Zoom gatherings per month (bring your Bodygraph for live commentary + Q&A)For anyone subscribing to my newsletter (inner circle) I would like to inform you that you are invited to assist and bring your own bodygraph and questions LIVE, every two weeks, on Sunday at 10:00AM Madrid time in my zoom room.

Reflection of the week: being at service of the body.
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit reflectorsreflections.substack.comThis week begins with the Sun still in the final line of the 25th Gate, bringing forward the Cross of Healing. Soon after, Neptune also moves into the last two lines of the 25th Gate, creating a powerful opportunity—and support from the universe—to take a deeper look at what prevents our actions from being spontaneous and uncontrived.What keeps us from acting as a pure expression of the wisdom of Existence, distilled in Human Design as Strategy and Inner Authority?At our core, we are all expressions of Love, yet we are often blind to this reality. Over time, we’ve developed many defense mechanisms. Through our identification with them, these defenses can hinder our natural spontaneity and innocence from coming forward.This week offers a real opportunity to be in service to our bodies and our lives—by befriending them. It invites us to gently and lovingly observe, understand, and learn how to support ourselves in ways that are truly sustaining.Additionally, Saturn conjuncts the Sun in the 17th Gate, highlighting the importance of understanding life’s patterns with care and compassion, so that we may become more deeply attuned to Existence.So, always interesting to be in tune with the neutrino weather and use its frequency at service of life instead of the mind!You can get my book on Amazon.The Neutrino Weather for this week is available to the Inner Circle.The emotional frequency continues and asks us to be aware of…[See the Neutrino Weather full video and commentary in the inner circle bellow]* Instant access to the full archive of previous posts* Two live Zoom gatherings per month (bring your Bodygraph for live commentary + Q&A)Inner Circle: €17/month or €177/year (2 months free)Founders: €440/year — includes a live 1:1 Human Design reading with meFor anyone subscribing to my newsletter (inner circle) I would like to inform you that you are invited to assist and bring your own bodygraph and questions LIVE, every two weeks, on Sunday at 10:00AM Madrid time in my zoom room.
