Living a life in alignment
Get Your Soul’s Unique Blueprint today and start exploring your own unique path to alignment
Last week I shared in my ‘Master Your Life’ masterclass how getting to know myself through the collective wisdom of Astrology, Human Design and Gene Keys has brought my life into alignment in totally new, wonderful and inspirational ways.
I’ve always been interested in self-development and wellbeing. What makes people tick and how to live our best lives. I’ve invested in a personal library full of self-development and personal growth books… a minor in psychology, 15+ years meditating… but only in the past year, has everything started truly coming together clearly for me.
When you dive deeper into these systems, you can unlock a clearer path toward living your most authentic and aligned life.
Particularly when they’re woven together—these three modalities allow you to see yourself in a completely different light. You begin to understand why certain patterns repeat, what you’re here to learn, and how you can move through life with more ease and purpose.
Here’s a quick overview of how Astrology, Human Design, and Gene Keys can guide you toward a deeper, more aligned version of yourself:
1. Astrology: Understanding Your Core Blueprint
One of the most ancient systems for self-understanding, Astrology is based on the positions of the celestial bodies at the time of your birth. While many people are familiar with their Sun sign, this only scratches the surface. To gain a fuller picture of your life’s purpose and potential, it's essential to look beyond the Sun and dive into other key placements in your chart. Here are 6 key areas that we take a look at in my Master Your Life Masterclass.
The Sun: Your Core Essence
Your Sun sign represents your core essence—who you are at your deepest level. It reflects your identity, your driving force, and the energy you radiate into the world. Living in alignment with your Sun sign means honoring what brings you joy, vitality, and purpose. It is your center of gravity, the part of you that wants to shine and be seen.
The Moon: Your Emotional World
Your Moon sign governs your emotional needs and inner world. It’s the part of you that craves security, comfort, and connection. Understanding your Moon sign can help you identify what truly nurtures you on a deep emotional level. When you align with your Moon, you’re able to care for yourself in ways that make you feel safe and at peace, both internally and externally.
The Ascendant: How You Approach Life
Your Ascendant, or Rising sign, is the face you present to the world and the way you initiate interactions with life. It reflects the energy you put out in new situations and your general approach to challenges and opportunities. Living in alignment with your Ascendant means embracing the lens through which you see and interact with the world. It also influences how others perceive you. (An interesting footnote: Historically, the Ascendant was considered the most important part of the astrological chart in traditional astrology because it represents the self, how you approach life, and how you interact with the world. It’s also the starting point of the houses in the chart, which adds significant layers to an individual's experience… but in 1930 a horoscope column in a British newspaper focused on the ‘sun sign’ and that’s been people’s main reference ever sense).
The Midheaven: Your Public Life and Purpose
The Midheaven represents your public persona, career path, and your higher calling in the world. It is the pinnacle of your chart, where your aspirations and contributions to society are expressed. When you’re living in alignment with your Midheaven, you’re not just pursuing a career; you’re fulfilling a deeper sense of purpose and contributing something meaningful to the collective.
The North Node: Your Soul's Growth
The North Node points to the lessons your soul is here to learn in this lifetime. It represents areas of growth and expansion, often pushing you out of your comfort zone. While the North Node may not feel natural at first, aligning with its energy is key to your personal and spiritual evolution. It’s about stepping into the unknown and embracing the lessons that lead you toward your highest potential.
Chiron: Your Wound and Healing
Chiron is known as the “wounded healer,” representing the areas where you carry deep emotional or spiritual wounds. These wounds, however, also hold the key to your greatest healing and transformation. Understanding your Chiron placement can show you where you may feel vulnerable or challenged, but also where you have the potential to turn pain into wisdom and strength.
By understanding these core components of your astrological chart, you gain a roadmap to your soul’s essence, emotional needs, external expression, life purpose, and karmic lessons. Astrology doesn’t just describe who you are—it illuminates how you can live more fully in alignment with your true self.
2. Human Design: Living Your Energetic Blueprint
Human Design provides a detailed map of how your energy works, offering practical insights into how to make decisions and interact with the world in ways that are most aligned with your natural energy. There is a lot to learn about yourself through Human Design, and at the heart of it is understanding your Type, Strategy, and Authority—three components that form your energetic blueprint. (We also look at your Profile in the Masterclass)
Your Human Design Type and Strategy
In Human Design, there are four main Types: Generator, Projector, Manifestor, and Reflector. Each Type has a unique way of engaging with life and a Strategy to help you flow with the energy of the universe:
Generator: You have sustainable energy and are designed to respond to life rather than initiate action. Your Strategy is to wait for opportunities or people to come to you, allowing your sacral energy to guide you toward what lights you up.
There are also Manifesting Generators which are generators who have the ability to manifest as well. These multi-tasking folk have the sustainable energy to build and the ability to bring new things into the world. Their strategy can be the respond or inform.
Projector: You are here to guide and offer wisdom, but your Strategy is to wait for invitations or recognition before sharing your insights.
Manifestor: You are here to initiate and bring new things into the world. Your Strategy is to inform others before acting to reduce resistance.
Reflector: You are highly sensitive to your environment and are designed to reflect the health of your community. Your Strategy is to wait through a full lunar cycle before making major decisions.
Each Type has a specific way of operating that, when followed, allows for more ease and flow in life. By understanding your Type and Strategy, you can avoid unnecessary resistance and step into a life that feels more aligned with your energy.
Authority: Your Inner Compass
Your Authority is your decision-making process. It may be rooted in your sacral response (gut feelings), emotional clarity (waiting through emotional waves), or other internal cues depending on your design. Following your Authority helps you make decisions that are aligned with your true self, instead of being swayed by external pressures or mental overthinking. When you honor your Authority, you tap into the wisdom of your body, leading to more aligned and authentic choices.
3. Gene Keys: Unlocking Your Highest Potential
The final framework that brings it all together for me, is the Gene Keys, which offers a contemplative path to unlocking your full potential. Gene Keys is built on the same foundational principles as Human Design, but it takes a more meditative, inward approach to self-understanding. The core of the Gene Keys journey is the Activation Sequence, which highlights your life’s purpose and how you can live more aligned with your higher self.
The Activation Sequence
The Activation Sequence in Gene Keys is a specific pathway that guides you through the foundational themes of your life. It consists of four primary Gene Keys, each revealing a different aspect of your purpose and potential:
Life’s Work: This key reveals what you’re here to do in the world—your core purpose or contribution. When you align with this energy, you unlock the Gift that allows you to thrive in your work and life.
Evolution: This key represents your primary challenge in life, often a repeating theme or struggle. By embracing this challenge, you activate your deeper growth and potential.
Radiance: This Gene Key illuminates what keeps you healthy and vibrant. It shows how you can maintain your energy and live a life of vitality by aligning with your true nature.
Purpose: Your Purpose Gene Key reveals what grounds you in life. It’s not just about what you do, but about who you are at a deep, foundational level. Living in alignment with this Key allows you to feel more centered and fulfilled.
By contemplating your Activation Sequence, you begin to unlock the hidden gifts within your greatest challenges. The Gene Keys teach that each difficulty or "shadow" contains the seed of a powerful gift waiting to be expressed. As you move through this process, you begin to live from a place of deeper alignment with your higher self, unlocking your unique potential and purpose.
Weaving it All Together: A New Path to Alignment
When you integrate the insights of Astrology, Human Design, and Gene Keys, you create a comprehensive roadmap for living an aligned life. Astrology offers a cosmic blueprint of your essence, emotional needs, and purpose. Human Design provides practical strategies for navigating life with ease and making decisions aligned with your energy. Gene Keys takes you on a journey of contemplation, guiding you to unlock your highest potential by embracing your challenges and gifts.
Together, these systems offer more than just self-awareness—they provide you with the tools to live a life of authenticity, purpose, and flow. Instead of pushing against the current or trying to fit into societal molds, you begin to embrace your unique blueprint and move through life with greater ease and fulfillment.
