Why is my sidereal sun sign different from my normal one?

Western astrology uses the tropical zodiac, which is tied to the seasons and starts at the spring equinox. Vedic astrology uses the sidereal zodiac, which is tied to the actual constellations. The two have drifted about 24 degrees apart since they were aligned, so roughly four people in five get a different sign in each. Neither is wrong; they measure different things.

What is a BaZi day master?

In Chinese BaZi, your birth is written as four pillars of two characters each, covering the year, month, day and hour. The heavenly stem of the day pillar is the day master, and it stands for you. It is one of ten: a yin or yang form of wood, fire, earth, metal or water. Everything else in the chart is read in relation to it.

Do I need my exact birth time?

No, but it unlocks about half the reading. Without a time you still get your Sun in both zodiacs, your life path, your day master and your year animal. With a time and a place you also get your rising sign, your exact Moon and birth star, your Human Design type and bodygraph, and your Gene Keys.

Is Six Mirrors free, and does it store my birth details?

It is free and needs no account. Your birth date, time and place are computed in your own browser and stay there. The only thing sent anywhere is a one-way fingerprint of the birth moment so that charts can be counted; it carries no name, no email and no way to reach you.

What does it mean when several systems agree?

The six traditions share no history and no mathematics. When two or more of them independently point at the same theme in one birth, Six Mirrors names that as a thread and shows every fact it rests on. The convergence is the finding, rather than any single system's verdict.

Human Design · Centre

The G Center

The centre of self and direction, and the one people most want to have fixed.

Governs

identity, direction and love: who you are and where you are going

Gates

8, numbered 1, 2, 7, 10, 13, 15, 25, 46

Defined G

You have a consistent sense of who you are, and direction comes from inside. That does not mean you always know the plan, but the compass is yours and it does not swing with the company.

Open or undefined G

Identity and direction shift with environment and with people. An open G is not lost; it is designed to find itself through place, which is why where you live and who you sit near matters more for you than for most.

The not-self theme: Searching for love and direction rather than letting the right place produce them. Open G people often move, repeatedly, looking for the feeling.

What an open G eventually becomes

An open G reads people and places with unusual accuracy, because it has had to.

This is the part most people miss. An open centre is not a deficiency to be fixed. It is where you take in and amplify other people, which is uncomfortable for years and then becomes the thing you understand better than anyone with it defined.

The gates of the G

8 of the 64 gates sit in this centre. Each is also a Gene Key, read as a Shadow, a Gift and a Siddhi rather than as a mechanic.

Centres, gates and channels come from the same tables the bodygraph is drawn from. Human Design was assembled in 1987; Six Mirrors reads it beside five older systems and shows where they agree.
