A “Double” Sleeping Phoenix Kiron Return – A Personal Perspective

Just Entering My Kiron Phase
I’ve just begun to enter into the beginning phases of my Kiron Return. This usually begins 3+ years before the Kiron return date. Suddenly I’ve become aware of some new traits and ways of being showing up in my life that weren’t there before.
It’s a little weird to notice these new things because they don’t feel like me – at least right now. Let me give you some examples:
• I’m feeling clumsier all of sudden. It’s like I suddenly have a big pair of gloves on my hands that knock over things all the time.
• The cycles I go through are more pronounced and quicker in duration.
• My focus is starting to move away from relationships to building something – in my case building a small biz of my own.
• And – I’m super aware of all this.
Double Sleeping Phoenix – an Emerging Layer to my Life
I was talking to Becky Markley and she mentioned my Kiron return. Becky’s good at making connections to what’s going on in my life and my design. When I looked at my Kiron Chart I began to understand that what was happening in my life was normal – at least for me.
I retain the same Incarnation Cross in both my natal chart and in my Kiron chart – except that the Personality and Design Sun/Earths switch – and that my profile changes to a 3/5.
Just to be clear – my design doesn’t change – it’s just that these new qualities begin to emerge in addition to my natal design.
So when I suddenly start bumping into things all of a sudden – I imagine knowing what a young 3/5 profile goes through. I used to pride myself on being somewhat graceful and lithe in my movements. Now that seems to be going out the window.
Very spontaneously I wrote a post about “Little Deaths” on the IHDS Study Group Facebook wall. It was about the little things that seemed to die away in me on a regular occurrence.
The Sleeping Phoenix – Cycles of Birth & Death
The Cross of the Sleeping Phoenix has many variations – but one of the overriding themes is moving through cycles of birth and death – only to be reborn again.
This seems to happen to me more frequently and in a more pronounced way these days.
I wondered why I was becoming more aware of this phase than any other in my life and I looked at the personality sun in my Kiron chart and it was the 20.3 – Self Awareness – Understanding derived from analysis of personal actions and effects.
Ahh – then I began to understand – not only am I designed to have these new forces take shape in my life – but I am going to be very aware of them in the years to come.
The 2027 Shift
Ra spoke a lot of the coming shift in 2027 before his passing. We are leaving the Cross of Planning and moving into the Cross of the Sleeping Phoenix. These are Global Cycles that last 400 years – and we are getting set to leave one cross behind and enter into another one – in 15 years.
In truth its effects are already showing up – the way my Kiron energies are showing up early for me personally.
The shift that the Sleeping Phoenix represents is a radical change from the Cross of Planning that we have now. It won’t show up right away – but I believe it will herald great change in our later lives and those of our children.
Part of my path ahead seems to be in building structures that will help others transition into this new phase of the Sleeping Phoenix – as I become very aware of what it means on a personal level myself.
Blessings to you on your path into 2027!

Street Level Learning – Checking in with Projectors
Hey there – Nice to connect with you!
Last summer Lynda Bunnell and Beth Black asked me to take part in a symposium for Manifesting Generators. The purpose was for a few MG’s to get together and chat about our experiences from the perspective of being an MG. I found the session rewarding.
Projector Symposium
This winter and into the spring I’m expanding the symposium experience into the other types in the IHDS Study Group. Our first in the new series was on Projectors. I invited some very experienced Projectors to share their perspective. Our guests were Becky Markley, and Inga Jensen-from HD Iceland with contributions from Nancy Chong and other mental projectors.
For me, these symposiums are a way to learn firsthand what it’s like to live as another type - to see life through their eyes.
Recognition
One of first things I began to understand is that Projectors have a role to fulfill in the larger scheme of life – but that they need help from the other in order to fulfill that role. In order for them to guide and lead in their own unique way they need to be seen by the other. That feeling of being seen is a form of recognition – and is quite magical. Recognition cannot be faked. Recognition and invitations must be heart-felt and authentic when engaging with Projectors. Don't try to BS a projector by learning about their design and 'trying' to recognize them based on their design and not something more authentic - they'll see right through it.
Invitations
You don't necessarily have to say the words "I invite you . . ." to a projector. An invitation is an energetic thing. They can see through "fake" invitations. When you engage a projector - it's a big deal since they are energetically engaging with you one to one - honor them for doing that.
One to One
Projectors do best one to one. Crowds can be tough - it can really diffuse their energy. A big challenge for them in the early days of their experiment is in not compromising by accepting invitations that aren't correct and waiting till their right people ask them.
The right Projector in your life can have a profound effect - honor that.
There is a real dance between Projectors and the other types. I would add - that I can see how much of a challenge it must be to "see" so much as a projector and not be invited/asked to share what you see and know.
I imagine that waiting to be invited must be a real challenge for a projector! But if you go ahead and share what you see anyway - oh the resistance you must meet.

IHDS Study Group #2 - Open Centers
As I sit here and write the wrap-up for our second study group session – I feel satisfied that our little community is growing. What I sense happening are small pockets of people are coming together within the larger HD community. People are looking for places to come, congregate, chat and learn more about Design and themselves too. It’s my continued hope that this is one of those places for you.
We’re on Facebook Now
We started a Facebook page for you to come out and hang at – share stories, ask questions and lounge around in. Here’s the link: IHDS Study Group FB Page.
Open Centers
Our topic of conversation this week was on the Open Centers and how they can affect our lives. Cathy Kinnaird was our guest speaker and she gave a great 30-min synopsis of the centers and created a kick-ass slide presentation as well.
You can download the presentation here: Study Group Session 2 Download.
Creating a Vision
It feels like a lot of momentum is being generated right now and I’d like to build on that energy. My vision for the study group is to create a place for newcomers (newbies), experienced students and teachers to come together and mingle. I’d like to begin asking teachers in the HD community to come and share a topic of choice once a month on the on-line call as a way to introduce people to new topics and get to ‘meet’ some of the amazing teachers we have.
If you are a teacher and would like to share a topic of choice please get in touch with me to share your ideas.
If you are a student within the community and would like to have a topic introduced please let me know that as well.
Contact me
I can be reached at:

Looking forward to seeing you soon,

Why I'm Enrolling in BG5
I am going to be taking the IHDS BG5 class taught by Becky Markley and Lynda Bunnell that’s being offered this fall (2011). I’m actually going to be both a student and helping behind the scenes to keep things rolling smoothly. It’s something I am very excited about.
Looking into the Future
I felt called to write about why I am investing time, money and energy into doing the yearlong IHDS BG5 course. You’ve probably noticed that things are changing in some pretty dramatic ways both locally and internationally. Most notably, our economies are going through major upheavals on a global scale.
I’m not a pessimist by nature – but I don’t have a lot of faith that our economies are going to be getting much better in the future. So what that means is that as companies begin laying off more and more people - individuals are going to be looking for answers about different ways to make a living. This is not a small thing because the numbers of people who are going to be asking – “What’s next for me?” – are going to be growing. In my mind – this is where BG5 comes in.
BG5 Bridges the Divide
Let’s face it, Human Design appeals to a certain segment of the population. The seekers and the folks who yearn to know who-they-are in a deeper way are generally the ones who gravitate to HD. But there is also a huge segment of the population who couldn’t care less about the deeper meaning of life or what makes them tick. Most guys I know fit into this category. (If you’re a guy reading this – you don’t count!!)
This is where BG5 comes into play. The language and the whole approach of BG5 is focused towards small businesses and individuals who want to succeed on the material plane – without all the personal transformation stuff thrown in. In BG5 you learn very practical information about helping people to have a good job where they enjoy being with the people they work with, and small businesses of 3-5 individuals to perform better and improve their bottom line.
Skills You Can Apply
Upon completion of the course you’ll be certified to work with managers, executives and leaders in helping them to understand their unique strengths as well as their shadows (what we would call not-self conditioning – but in a language they can hear). You’ll also learn how to guide individuals into pathways that help them succeed in the material world, including larger organizations.
Something that may surprise you to learn is that many businesses are set up to operate in teams (groups of 3 or more) and yet many individuals are designed to operate only in partnership or individually.
I can see adding a whole new area to my biz – and being able to attract another segment of the population that may not have been interested in traditional HD readings.
I hope to see you there for this exciting yearlong journey. Would you like to be a part of it??

Stories from the Field - IHDS Study Group
Our First Session
We had our first study group today and over 20 people showed up. I found myself surprised that we had that many in the classroom since it was only posted a few days ago.
Having a focus
It felt right to me that we start out with a topic to focus our discussion around. Sort of randomly, I picked the topic of Authority. To help the discussion I generated 3 questions that would start us off.
• What is your Authority?
• When you are using your authority to make decisions – how does it work for you?
• What challenges have you had in using your authority?
Then, last night I had a momentary panic attack. I thought – “AUTHORITY – that’s so basic, so boring to talk about. We won’t be able to get through the whole session just talking about that”.
I was wrong.
Authority is the place (or the way - in the case of mental projectors and reflectors) that you make decisions. It is the cornerstone of our lives. It is one of the most basic foundations of Human Design and in living out our own design. No small thing, eh?
Through the flow of sharing I was amazed at the nuances of how peoples authority works. Each one so unique. In that way – I realized that we are all teachers and all students.
What I loved about the group sharing was hearing the triumphs and struggles that everyone faces in living out their design. Lynda Bunnell started us off by sharing the long process she has gone through in understanding her emotional authority – and off we went from there . . .
Community
If I had a wish for this group as it moves forward - it would be to create an environment where people can come and hang out, share their stories, listen to others share theirs. But above all – giving our growing community the sense of knowing that they are not alone in their journey.
What makes you – YOU?
Each study group session may have a different topic to chat about – but overall what I am curious about is hearing how you are living out different aspects of your design.
One of the things that also came up today was the realization that to live out your design is to attune the frequency of your aura. This is a tangible thing. You can hear it in people’s voice and in the feeling that they give off – even on-line.
Would you like to join us?
We will be meeting the first and third Tuesdays of every month in the IHDS Classroom at 17:00 GMT.

Until next time,
