The Emotional Solar Plexus is the Gold Triangle on the right side of the bodygraph. It can be defined (colored in) or open (white) in your personal design.

Let's review the details of the Emotional Solar Plexus (ESP). The ESP is where our reactions to emotions are stored; specific emotions such as fear, anxiety or love, etc. are found throughout the Human Design centers, but the ESP gates concern our ability to nurture ourselves through observing our emotions, and our deep-rooted understanding that we are taken care of, loved and cherished, regardless of the emotional landscape we find ourselves in day to day.

If your ESP is open, you may notice that you feel everyone else's emotions deeply. It may be hard at times to distinguish what you are feeling from the feelings of the people around you.

I'm here to tell you: you are designed that way; there is nothing wrong with you. 🥰

You are very sensitive, so this could cause you to be overwhelmed when you are around intense emotions, and you may even want to "take care" of the person who is displaying those feelings, to calm them down and in the process relieve your own discomfort.

It will be important for you to instead learn to take a breath, perhaps step away from the interaction, and ask yourself, "Are these my feelings, or someone else's? Am I trying to fix the situation in an effort to ease my discomfort? Can I let this person feel and react without it affecting me?" Your openness is amplifying emotional energy, so, you are energetically vibrating with it even more than the person displaying those emotions.

You have a wonderful gift of empathy, and as you learn to disentangle yourself from others emotions/reactions, you will find that you have a special ability to sit with others through their trials, to offer hope that is soothing, not enabling.

If your ESP is defined, you have a pretty consistent way of feeling your emotions, and if you pay attention, you may notice that your emotions move on a wave. Your ups/downs may be daily, weekly or more undulating depending on your personal chart.

Again, I'm here to tell you: you are designed that way; there is nothing wrong with you. 🥰

Even if you have been told you were "too emotional", lean into your feelings. Through riding the waves your emotions, you begin to discover faith, the underlying belief that all is well, regardless of what is happening around you. You are able to exhibit strength in the midst of overwhelming circumstances, and to guide others through your strong energy.
