Part 23 - The Electromagnetic Connection - When Two Charts Spark

(Advanced Teachings Inspired by Ra Uru Hu)

“When two auras meet, they either become a spark or a drain. It’s not love, it’s energy. The question is: is it correct for you?” — Ra Uru Hu

🔹 What Is the Electromagnetic Connection?

We all know that moment: when you meet someone, and something in your body clicks. It’s electric. It’s like you’ve known them forever, or maybe you just met, but there’s an undeniable pull. It feels almost magnetic. But what is actually happening here?

It’s not about romantic attraction — although it often feels like it is.
It’s not about destiny — although it may feel fated.
It’s not even about personal chemistry — though it can seem so.

This is the electromagnetic connection, and it’s at the heart of Human Design’s understanding of relationships.

When two people meet, their auras interact — their energy fields exchange. This isn’t just about attraction; it’s about mutual activation of energies that either enhance or distort your natural frequency.

At the core of the interaction is how the two charts fit together. Each chart has a unique configuration, and when one chart’s electromagnetic field interacts with another’s, the result can either be a spark of alignment or a drain of energy.

🔹 The Mechanics of the Spark

So, how does this electromagnetic field work?

Imagine each person’s aura as a radio frequency. Each chart contains certain defined channels and gates — areas where a person’s energy is fixed, stable, and amplified. When two charts meet, the connection happens where one person’s defined energies complement, complete, or challenge the other’s.

Completing Channels:
When two people’s charts fit together in such a way that their auras connect through complementary defined gates, you get a complete channel. This creates a harmonious and amplified connection. These connections are correct. They produce energy that is both energizing and sustainable, helping the two individuals grow and evolve.

For example, if one person’s chart has a defined Throat center and the other’s chart has a defined Ajna center, they can combine these energies in such a way that communication flows freely and powerfully. This is a synergistic spark that enhances both individuals.
Challenging Connections:
On the flip side, some charts may create friction or resistance. This can happen when one person’s defined center meets an undefined center in the other person’s chart. The undefined center takes in the energy of the defined center, but it doesn’t have the stability to hold it. This can create tension, confusion, or frustration, but it is also transformative. This is where pressure is created, and mutation can occur.

For instance, a defined Ego in one chart may bring out a deep desire for recognition in an open Heart center of the other, causing feelings of inadequacy or insecurity. But this insecurity is not a sign of incompatibility; it is a pressure for transformation — an opportunity to see the not-self and move toward awareness.

🔹 The Role of Defined and Undefined Centers

Ra Uru Hu often spoke about how the defined and undefined centers interact in relationship dynamics. The defined centers have fixed energy. They radiate their specific qualities out into the world. The undefined centers are receptive — they take in energy from the environment.

When you meet someone with defined centers that interact with your open centers, you are conditionally altered. You feel the pull of their energy, and it can either activate you or overwhelm you.

In a correct relationship, you are empowered by their energy. You may find that your undefined centers begin to stabilize, and you start expressing yourself more clearly or acting more confidently.

But in an incorrect relationship, these undefined centers can become overwhelmed and distorted, pulling you off your true course.

🔹 The Influence of the 3rd and 7th Gates in Relationships

There are two key gates that Ra highlighted as being especially important in the dynamics of relationships:

The 3rd Gate:
The Gate of ordering (organized flow of energy). This gate is the pressure to create structure. When it interacts with someone else’s open centers, it can create intense pressure to define things. This is often where individuals feel the need to control or define each other’s lives. But it’s also the gate where long-term evolution occurs.
The 7th Gate:
The Gate of role models (leadership energy). When two people’s charts bring the 7th Gate into play, one person may feel like they are being led or guided by the other. This gate brings out the natural leader energy in someone — but when it’s conditioned, it can feel like resistance or lack of autonomy.

🔹 When Sparks Go Wrong: The Dangers of the Undefined Heart

One of the most intense fields for relationship dynamics involves the undefined Heart center (Ego center). When you have an open Heart, and you’re encountering someone with a defined Heart, it can trigger deep feelings of insecurity. You may feel like you’re not enough, that you’re not worthy, or that you need to prove your value to them.

Ra cautioned that this is a trap. This is not about the other person. This is your conditioning showing you your vulnerability. It’s where the other person’s defined center may pull you into a narrative of not enoughness, which you are supposed to witness, not identify with.

🔹 Understanding the Sparks: A Mutative Process

Ra often spoke of correct relationships as being mutative. What does this mean? Simply put, it means that relationships are designed to mutate you.

When the correct energies meet, you are changed. That electric connection is the alchemical spark — it ignites something inside of you that wasn’t there before. Sometimes it’s painful, sometimes it’s liberating, but it is always transformational.

The right kind of connection will not complete you, but it will awaken you, activate parts of you that were dormant.

🔹 Summary: Relationship is Energy, Not Love

At the core of it, Ra made it clear: relationship is not about love. Love is the byproduct of mutual energy. Relationship is about energy exchange.

And the real question you should ask isn’t:
