The Solar Plexus Centre in Human Design: Defined and Open
Emotion and feeling. The Solar Plexus moves in a wave, and its clarity arrives over time, not in the moment. Defined, you have your own emotional wave. Open or undefined, you take in and amplify the emotions of the people around you. It holds 7 gates and links to the pancreas.

Get your free Human Design chart: Type, authority, profile, centres and every gate, from your birth time and place.
Discover the Human Design Centres: Where you are consistent, where you absorb everyone else, and why some of your moods may not be yours.
A defined Solar Plexus centre is a consistent source
You have your own emotional wave. Your feelings rise and fall on their own rhythm, regardless of what is happening around you. Clarity comes once the wave has been felt through.
The gift: Emotional depth, and decisions made with the clarity that time brings.
An open Solar Plexus centre takes in and amplifies
You take in and amplify the emotions of the people around you. Much of what you feel may not be yours. The cost is avoiding conflict and truth to keep the emotional temperature down.
The wisdom it can grow: Feeling others’ emotions without taking them as your own. Telling the truth even when it raises the temperature.
The conditioning to notice: Pressure to stay pleasant, to avoid confrontation, and to manage everyone else’s feelings.
The not-self question: “Am I avoiding confrontation and truth?”
