For day 8: The Ajna Center - defined vs undefined
This felt like a good continuation from the past few days talking about communication and the throat center.
The Ajna is the center that holds the energy of thoughts, beliefs, perspectives, opinions, etc.
When the Ajna is defined and connected to the throat, regardless of a motor being connected also, it is said that person will more easily be able to speak their mind.
If this connection gets created in the relationship, it might help the partners to be able to speak their minds to each other more easily than with other friends or partners.
Just because someone has a defined Ajna though, does not mean it is connected to the throat. There may be a configuration of a defined head and ajna that is split from any other definition of the chart or in the case of some mental projectors, the only two centers defined in the chart.
What's a relationship like when one person has a defined ajna and one person does not?
I have an undefined ajna. For much of my life it was one of the aspects that felt a little "broken" about me, and after learning about human design so fully embraced having an undefined ajna and love the aspects it brings to me. One of which is seemingly infinite perspectives. If you need additional perspectives, I can probably give you 10. It feels like a gift and in some ways really fits in with my Libra nature of being able to mediate and be an impartial judge. I have the ability to see things from so many different angles and have an understanding of why anyone does pretty much anything.
There isn't much definition about my beliefs or my opinions. They can shift depending on what I've learned and been exposed to. The more I've learned, the more fluid they can seem to be. It makes me seem very "open minded" because there is no fixed way in which I hold most opinions or beliefs. I think about things from every angle possible (which can be overwhelming and that is part of the challenge)
In contrast, someone with a defined ajna has a more defined perspective, a more fixed way of viewing things. It also means that focus can happen more easily - the mind can stay in a single lane without being distracted by everyone else's thoughts/opinions. Information processing may tend to be more defined as well, once they find what works, it works. No need to switch it up.
When the two are together, it is important for the person with the undefined ajna to make sure they're not just adopting the other person's views. And for the person with the defined ajna to understand that their view is a bit more fixed and they may need to work a little harder to see things from other perspectives (in particular their partner's) When there is no definition to the throat, this can sometimes create some interesting communication challenges.
When 2 people with defined ajna's are together, it is good to be aware that you each have your own perspective and that's awesome, just keep in mind that it doesn't need to lead to a debate as to who is right and who is wrong, they may just be different at times. Each person will have a more defined way of seeing things.
Two people with undefined ajna's will be most likely be very willing to discuss and explore all kinds of beliefs and opinions and have an easier time pondering all kinds of points of view.
Do you have a defined or undefined Ajna? If you're in relationship (partner, parent/child, coworker) do you know those around you? If so, what is your perspective/experience?
