How my Birth Chart and Human Design Chart are nourishing my personal flower garden into bloom

To better understand how my personal garden of flowers can best be nurtured, I’ve been sinking my mind, heart and soul into the fascination behind Birth Charts and Human Design Charts.

A beam of sunlight is streaming through a window in my home in leafy Fraserhood, a community in East Vancouver that I’ve called home for the last 6 months with my fiancé. I’ve just placed tulips in a vase. It’s the first day of Spring. And as cliché and obvious as it is to say, there is a spring in my step. An energetic shift that has felt looming and delicious and needed seems to be happening. Just as nature is showing us. Just as my internal state has been expecting and desiring. Of course, the blue sky and sunbeams enhance this joy and this lightness. But I know it is rooted from within.

Stirrings of ideas and contemplations are beginning to rise above the soil and ask to be adored and nurtured. To take the time to - literally and metaphorically – stop and smell the flowers. Admire their unique patterns and forms. Tend to their growth so that their vitality can continue to bloom and reveal the way forward.

To better understand how my personal garden of flowers can best be nurtured, I’ve been sinking my mind, heart and soul into the fascination behind Birth Charts and Human Design Charts. I perhaps held back on looking into too much detail as I didn’t want to unearth a set roadmap or plan, or perhaps be disappointed or frustrated with what was revealed, when my nature is to follow my excitement and to delicately listen to my intuition and energetic state towards certain people, to different places and to my purpose in career. To know when an ending is approaching. To know when a beginning is stirring. And to practice patience when the unknowns can feel overwhelming, until a feeling of full clarity and calmness fills my being before acting. What was revealed has been so affirming and assuring that I wish I had delved in sooner. A summary is that my Gemini Sun, Cancer Moon and Leo Rising signs of my Birth Chart, combined with my Manifesting Generator sign for Human Design, illuminates a multi-passionate communicator who learns through emotional experience, finds abundance in what lights me up energetically, and serves as a role model within communities by sharing insight, connection and practical wisdom. Mic drop.

This description put words to all the experiences I’ve been trying to find the wisdom from over the last few years. I know, and I now have a deeper reason behind why, I thrive in dynamic, creative team-work environments, that aspires to guide, learn and share with a diverse group of people. I know that I have many interests, talents and excitement towards the creative realms of painting, singing, writing, photography, fitness, communication, education, design… the list goes on. I am meant to work in community. I am meant to both teach and learn. I am meant to express myself through movement, words and art. I am meant to connect with all generations to both seek and offer wisdom. I am meant to work within a team and to be encouraged in my independence. I am meant to seek belonging and to also to lead the way for others to feel belonging. I am meant to travel the world and to also desire a steady, loving, consistnet home-base. When those aspects of me are dulled, I feel less vibrant. I have learned this the hard way. But now I am building such a fierce protection of these core elements of me, because I better understand, celebrate and love who I am and who I am becoming. I can better tend to my personal garden and relish in the abundance of flowers.

This knowledge is carving a deeply profound path towards true alignment. Over Winter I’ve felt my flower seeds pushing down their roots. Needing nurturing. Needing patience. Needing quiet. Needing trust. Needing protection. And as I live my more and more life aligned with the rhythms of nature, I can see why the term “wintering” has been coined and gained so much attention in recent years. It is a verb. “To winter” is to allow rest to be sacred. Is to not rush or force or pressurise the growth of ideas. Is to nourish and heal the seeds so that when the flowers are ready to emerge from the soil and eventually be in full bloom, their foundational roots are steady and unshakable. Rooted in self-knowledge and self-love. My flower garden is starting to reveal its patterns, shapes and colours and I am lit up in a whole new way.
