Knowledge of the workings of the nine centres will help you understand what happens within you on a daily basis, but the first thing you need to find out is: are you defined or undefined?

Take a look at your life chart.

If a centre is defined with colour, it indicates a function or tendency that is fixed and consistent. These aspects are set in stone, a constant part of you. They are the part of your being that you can always count on – energy that’s available to be harnessed 24/7.

If a centre is undefined and white, it means that its specific energy is not consistent, making this part of you malleable and flexible. This means you’re open to the influence of those who do have this centre defined. When in their company, you effectively adopt their energy and may be swayed or conditioned by it. This is what we call a ‘conditioning influence’.

But this doesn’t mean you’re a helpless puppet. Instead of absorbing that energy, you can learn to recognize what’s happening, how your undefined centre is being engaged, and say to yourself: ‘This influence is not me, it’s them.’ This will allow you to stand back and adopt a detached objectivity, transforming such an influence into what we call ‘impassive wisdom’. That wisdom allows you, as an uninvolved observer, to reflect back what you are witnessing, allowing the other person to see the wood for the trees. This is why the white centres provide an opportunity for the exchange of considered reflection, comprehension and insight.

Please don’t think that not much is going on in your life chart if it’s not awash with colour. If anything, it makes you more empathic, flexible and less fixed than someone with a more colourful chart.

So, to recap: a defined centre has fixed traits and functions. An undefined centre has qualities that will be intermittent, coming and going depending on what other ‘designs’ are around you.

It is worth knowing that each centre also relates to a bodily organ or gland within us, thereby playing a part in our well – being. When living true to your design, you attune to your body’s needs on physical, mental and emotional levels. When you fall out of synch with your design, or go against your nature, you can become susceptible to physical discomfort or illness. Resistance to a centre’s energy can, therefore, have an adverse effect on the corresponding organ or gland.
