The Head is the center of the mind, both right and left brain thinking. This is the energy of questioning, of pressure to get answers. The Head Center is the center for ideas and inspiration; it is the place where we formulate questions.

Check your chart; if your Head Center is open (white), you walk through the world receiving ideas from everything around you: people, animals, nature. You tend to be open-minded and can see things from several different viewpoints. This is a wonderful thing, although sometimes you may feel as if you have too much inspiration, too many questions to answer, and it may feel overwhelming. You may feel pressure to figure things out, instead of allowing the answers to show up on the external plane.

If you have a defined (colored-in) Head Center, you tend to formulate ideas and inspirations that are much more fixed and from within you. If asked a question, you probably are be able to respond with an answer quickly, because your mind operates more like a storehouse of information. However, a person with a defined Head is much more susceptible to strict, rigid thinking; engaging in open-minded inquiry is much trickier to do.

There is a lot of societal judgment about needing to have answers. We want to look like we know what we are doing, so if you are someone with an open Head Center, you may not allow yourself the time/experimentation to have your own answers. And if you were raised by someone whose head center is defined, you might have grown up thinking that you should be able to have answers quickly as well--the fact that you couldn’t all the time might have left you believing you were somehow inadequate.

Human Design calls this “conditioning”--any aspect of your chart that you believe should be different. You received this belief from your parents, family, or the world around you.

But, only ⅛ of the world population has the Head Center defined! Most people in the world are constantly receiving information and inspiration from what shows up around them everyday. It’s kinda a shame that we put so much pressure on people to be able to answer questions without giving time for the answers to come.

So contemplate this: there no answers in the head, whether defined or open! The purpose of the mind is to question, to interpret and to transmit understandings or inspiration into language. The answers usually show up--in one way, shape or form--in our outer reality. They are almost always revealed to us step by step, piece by piece. And that takes time.

Don’t forget — there is nothing wrong with you. Your Design is a Once in a Lifetime Happening!
