Willpower and Wishes

Next to the Self, tucked below right, is the Heart, a centre which balances willpower with ego and comes armed with a competitive streak, either to prove a point in business or be ‘top dog’ in the material world. This is one of four ‘motor centres’ within Human Design, and a motor centre pushes us on in life. This one is where our heart’s desires are fuelled.

The biggest thing to which people aspire is a sense of freedom, and willpower drives us on towards that freedom. The Heart expresses its inherent willpower in one of two ways. One is the use of willpower in accordance with universal and greater good. The other is ego driven and applied for purely selfish reasons. We are forever caught in this balancing act: do we consider the common good or just look after number one?

All money matters are processed through this centre, filtering our material needs and wants as we balance our values: our values of life against our values of money. You may think that making money is all in the mind – indeed, there are mental formulas to assist the creation of wealth – but in actuality, money is an energy form closely related to the wishes emanating from the Heart. Power, prestige and money are all thrown into this melting – pot centre.

Anatomically, this centre is related to the organ of the heart and it is no surprise that the greatest source of disease in the world is heart disease. When people come under intense pressure to ‘get on with it’, ‘get rich’ and ‘make it happen’, it naturally follows that over – exertion will lead to complaints from the heart. This centre is also related to the digestive process, stomach and gall bladder. All these organs can function well when you’re in natural attunement with your life but can experience problems when your willpower is invested in pursuits that are wrong for you.
