Approaching Time by Your Design

Time. Most people think they don’t have enough of it. Some say they have too much of it and don’t know what to do. It’s very rare for someone to sit in the middle and say, “I have just the right amount of time—not too little, not too much.” Why is our relationship with time so conflicting?

In Human Design, time plays a crucial role in every aspect of our lives. Regardless of your type, every decision and choice we make comes down to the right timing, and that timing looks different for everyone. Our unique energetic makeup interacts with and learns from others, not just physically but also emotionally and energetically. Understanding and aligning with our unique design can help us transform our relationship with time, making it work for us rather than against us.

The fear of time

We often feel as though we are running out of time. This fear is deeply rooted in the belief that there is no "time" after death, or at least it’s uncertain. This collective fear makes us anxious about missing opportunities, chasing dreams, and fulfilling our goals. It’s our primitive mind calculating survival tactics, telling us to stay safe and avoid risks. But what if we started looking at time differently? What if we believed that time is always on our side?

Shifting your perspective of time

By understanding our Human Design and following our Strategy & Authority, we can make time work for us. Here are some tips for each Human Design type to start playing with time:

Trust Your Gut Responses

• Strategy & Authority: Wait to respond
• Approach to Time: Instead of feeling pressured to act immediately, wait for the right gut response. This ensures that you are using your energy efficiently and not wasting time on things that don't excite you. Trust that the right opportunities will come at the right time.

Embrace Your Multi-Tasking Nature

• Strategy & Authority: Wait to respond, then inform
• Approach to Time: Use your ability to handle multiple tasks to your advantage. Don't rush to start new projects; wait for the right responses and then inform those around you. This will help you avoid burnout and make the most of your time.

Value Your Insight

• Strategy & Authority: Wait for the invitation
• Approach to Time: Recognize that your insights are valuable and worth waiting for the right invitation. Don’t push to be heard immediately; trust that the right opportunities will come in their own time. Use your time to rest and recharge, preparing for when your guidance is needed.

Initiate with Confidence

• Strategy & Authority: Inform before acting
• Approach to Time: Your gift is in initiating. Use your ability to start new things by informing those around you before you act. This helps avoid resistance and makes your timing more effective. Trust your inner authority to guide you on when to act.

Honor Your Lunar Cycle

• Strategy & Authority: Wait a lunar cycle before making decisions
• Approach to Time: Reflectors need to wait a full lunar cycle (about 28 days) to make major decisions. This ensures that you are in tune with the changes around you and making decisions that are aligned with your true self. Use this time to gather information and reflect on your options.

Your relationship with time is influenced not only by your type but also by the specific gates and channels in your Human Design chart. These elements provide additional layers of insight into your unique timing and how you interact with the world. Gates represent specific energies and themes, while channels connect gates and create defined energy flows.

Understanding the gates and channels in your chart can help you refine your approach to timing and decision-making. Each gate and channel has its own rhythm and timing, adding depth to your overall Human Design strategy. By exploring these elements, you can gain a more nuanced understanding of your personal timing and how to align it with your life's purpose.

Wrapping it up

Transforming your relationship with time starts with understanding your Human Design. By aligning with your Strategy & Authority and considering the unique influences of your gates and channels, you can make time work for you, turning it into an ally rather than an adversary. Remember, time is always on your side, and when you trust in the right timing, you’ll find yourself in the right place, at the right moment, doing the right thing.
