From the 28th April until 21st September we have our first pass of the Wounded Healer in a position known variously as Following, According To and Opinions ...
This is an ajna (mind) gate in Human Design-speak and connects to the throat through the 62 giving the channel of Opinions/The organiser. So, for the next couple of years, whenever we have something moving through 62, we may well be aware of this channel with Chiron sitting at the other end. We have in fact just had a week or so with the channel active through the North Node with both Mercury then Venus, see the post below.
So what does the I Ching have to tell us about the 17th hexagram. BBW sums it up thus "Do not argue with what is; simply follow the progress of truth." I have my natal Saturn at this position, in line 3, "Sometimes following the good requires that we forego a pleasure of the ego When some part of your self-image would separate you from truth, let it fall away." BBW.
This is certainly an energy I'm very familiar with and as it happens my Jupiter position is in 62, so I have consistent access to the Organiser channel in my own HD. It's this energy that allows me to draw together many strands of information and deliver them in bite-sized pieces ... although sometimes another aspect of my chart means they aren't quite so bite-sized 😂 ... but I do try and keep my first line in check ... and if any of this intrigues you and you are wondering what your wiring may 'look' like, I do readings, just send me a message.
The essence of 17 is that in order to lead one must first perfect the art of following, and as with all things in the I Ching that is essentially following our Inner Truth and the Sage. Through following our inner truth we walk a path that others feel as authentic and will be happy to fall in step with.
Alfred Huang gives us a deeper look at the origins of this archetype. 17 contains the four virtues and is considered a very auspicious gua (hexagram) ... he cites an ancient story of a woman consulting a Master of the I Ching ... 17 was drawn and she was told that all was favourable to be married and follow her husband. However, she stated that for her the time was not yet here as she did not yet possess these four great virtues. Here Huang explains how this lady exemplifies the way in which the energies of the I Ching should be used. He narrates the story of King Wu in his process to overthrow the Tyrant of Shang ... he called several gatherings before he felt he had a broad enough consensus to move forward and be successful. King Wen saw that when people come together, and are ready to follow, that is when success ensues.
So we now have a period of time when Chiron will bring through this energy. He of course is the archetype of the wounded healer ... he shows us where we need to heal in order to live the energy positively for others to follow suit, and with 17 we are talking about healing our ability to be true to ourselves and our inner truth in order to be worthy of following.
Seems a very timely energy when we look at world politics that's for sure. And don't forget as with all celestial bodies the Centaur will retrograde back and forth so will work with 17 but also with 25 for a while yet, and 25 is all about our innocence.
