Michael Jackson August 29th, 1958 – June 26th, 2009 Born in Gary, Indiana in 1958, Michael had a single activation in his Life chart, that of Community. Even if his life wasn’t known to millions of devoted fans, a glance at this Human Design Life Chart reveals the “real Michael.” His whole life centered around his family, whether his blood relatives or the millions of people worldwide who identified themselves with “Jacko,” the King of Pop.
His defined Centers are the Heart and Emotions Centers, activated consciously with his Sun and Earth placements. You could say that the sun shone through his heart and his feelings were always involved with the people and his attunement with the world around him.
By Design, Michael is a Projector with Emotional, feeling Authority and a 1/3 Profile. To learn more about each of these aspects, see my book, Human Design: Discover the Person You Were Born To Be.
But here are a few tidbits that give us a look into Michael’s nature :
Projectors seek recognition and will often do almost anything to get it. Those who have Emotional Authority have to learn the lesson of patience in order to find their feeling clarity that is not attached to either the highs or lows that come through their Emotional nature. Many times we have seen Michael suffer when he has jumped into some action or commitment without considering a larger picture and his naturally changing moods.
People with a 1/3 profile are exploring throughout their lifetime, trying a kaleidoscope of material, life, and people experiences. Often a 1/3 profile shifts their lifestyle leaving a great variety of people and experiences in their wake. 1/3’s have a need to keep moving on sometimes regardless if anyone is keeping up with them.
In Michael’s Life Chart, he has a defined Heart Center. Anyone who has a defined Heart, the center of Willpower, needs to be very watchful for how they employ their willpower, simply because they can accomplish something in 5 minutes that is going to take someone with an undefined Heart an hour. If they continue to press on with one achievement after another they can literally end up exhausting their Willpower and eventually straining their heart. So, anyone with a defined Heart has to be watchful of two things: 1. That they pace themselves and allow themselves rest from time to time, to recuperate their Heart’s energy, and also, politely, to let others catch up. 2. They have to be very particular to whom and to what they commit themselves. Most people do not have their Heart Center defined, and if someone with an undefined Heart gets around someone, like Michael, they will often try to get them to commit themselves to their causes and use his willpower on their own behalf. If Michael isn’t watchful, he can strain his heart by giving too much to too many. The Community Channel relates particularly through the sense of touch and familiarity. It enjoys sharing food with friends and family and it has a winning smile. Through Gate 40, it seeks solace and the space to recuperate. Gate 37 on the Emotions end, seeks out friendship as a natural state of being, and with Line 1, as in Michael’s chart, is seen as a role model for friendship. Consequently, Michael was felt as a friend by everyone who met him, whether Michael had space, time, and energy for them or not. Gate 26 in Michael’s Heart Center, activated by Saturn in Line 3, gave Michael an urge to compete, to be the best, but also gave him a certain sensation that almost everyone, particularly “serious” people, like parents, adults, lawyers, bankers, and promoters would bring complications to his life. Gate 36, in his Emotions Center, in Line 2, activated by his unconscious Mars, and therefore most likely an inherited trait from his paternal grandfather, nudged him to seek assistance from all available sources when he could no longer see his way forward. Consequently, Michael surrounded himself with a troupe of advisors and staff who very often, would be drawing from Michael’s resources rather than actually adding anything through their presence. With two Centers defined, Michael has 7 Centers that are undefined or open in his chart. This form of Life Chart implies that he was very empathic, picking up everything from everyone near and far. Sometimes the influences of people around him, particularly the “serious” people would have felt like an overwhelming force. Michael would often feel obliged to avoid such people at all costs unless a situation became desperate and he would have to put up with them. In another light, this openness in his Life Chart would have given him the means to be elusive, perhaps quick on his toes, reflecting back what he picked up from the people and the world around him and demonstrating it through his movements, music, and song. It is said that Michael was prone to great physical pain in his body, which gave him the inclination to take painkillers and other forms of physical relief. Typically, painkillers have a strong chemical nature, and someone with an undefined Spleen Center, as has Michael, their body does not process “heavy” chemicals too well. People who have an undefined Self Center can be a guide or way-shower for others, yet not always have the most consistent reassurance of direction or purpose for themself. Michaels Gate 7 with the 5th Line activated by Venus gave him the attributes of a natural and competent leader. It is said that anyone who performed with him was often spellbound by the command he had of his art and the work he produced. Open-minded, with a single Gate 11, the Gate of Peace, in the Mind Center, activated by unconscious Saturn in the 1st Line, inclined him to espouse worldwide cooperation towards finding peace in the world as an obvious foundation for life. Michael’s open Crown and Root Centers left him uneasy with the pressure that was exerted into his life from outside. Houses behind large gates and reclusive environments would have been his preference until he felt the love of his true fans calling him out. His undefined Throat with Gate 16, his boyish and adventurous enthusiasm, Gate 23, his authoritative pronouncements, and Gate 33, gave him his real need for recuperation to find the depth of his own life story …that he could then perform for others. His undefined Sacral with Gate 59 and Line 3 implied he had a certain promiscuity; Gate 42 gave him a very expansive view of life; Gate 3 found him always presenting new media to the world, and Gate 9 gave him an inbuilt drive to be detail-oriented, with the caveat that he sometimes missed the one vital item that could shatter any well-intentioned plans. His Gate 29, the Gate of “Yes!” probably propelled him into all sorts of commitments, that if he had known to trust his Human Design Authority more, might well have been set aside. That he gave of his heart is the truth of his life. With ten 1st Lines and seven 3rd Lines in his Life Chart, Michael always brought the sense of perfection to anything he touched and at the same time, transforming his creations into some new, sometimes dramatically new forms. That his heart gave out, in the end, seems to be the story we will ponder during our lifetimes, and probably, in the end, it was the case because he never considered that there might be a limit to just how much he could give and that his dear heart could not keep up with all the fun, spectacle and delight “Jacko” could produce.
