Welcome to By the Willow Tree

A few things happened all at once. In fact, the crazy just got so crazy that I realized the Universe had just slapped me upside the head again.

And this time I listened.

I went on a personal quest and it wasn’t pretty because I was learning things about myself that I didn’t like very much. For starters, I was making decisions out of fear. I let other people tell me what was right for me and they were wrong.

I kept thinking I was being punished by the Universe because I wasn’t living the life I wanted. But what did I want? I have been an achiever. Suddenly, I was stuck. My nickname was “Dancing Thunder”. Where did she go?

When I finally realized that I was living in fear and allowing fear to guide me, I took back my power.

What in the world was I doing? How could I change the course of my life? Where were the answers?

I’ve known about Human Design for years, thanks to my daughter who was studying it. I knew about Myers Briggs personalities too, but had forgotten about it. An artist friend happened to mention what her Myers Briggs type is and that she is a Gemini, like me. I have admired her independence and courage. Turns out, she and I have some similiar traits.

That’s when I had the idea.

Why not grab a pile of ancient human design practices and see if they tell a story about me? What would happen if I put my personality type, birth chart and human design chart together and had them analyzed as one overall unified description of me from an objective source?

The first profile I ran with the help of Claude AI was spectacular. My personal results for self discovery helped me get my footing. I wanted to understand my entire self with a new methodology.

And then I decided to find other people who might want to do this too.
