Famous Projectors we all know and .......

John F. Kennedy, Barak Obama, Marilyn Monroe, and Nelson Mandela. Each of them evokes a response when their name is mentioned. For many people, it is filled with affection, admiration, sadness, frustration and in a few of them ideological differences.

What is also fascinating is they are/were all Projectors.

So often, I hear how difficult it is to be a projector and while there may be a lot of truth to that, it would be difficult to argue that each of these four people were not well known, rose to high levels of prominence in our world and that each of them faced many challenges and obstacles in their lives. With all of them, except for Nelson Mandela, it is easy to see where those circumstances, showcase that they were not following their strategy and authority. I have included each of their charts below for you to see and for your enjoyment.

John F. Kennedy and Barak Obama rose to the highest-ranking office in our country. Both men have been described as charming, intelligent and humorous.

In looking at John F. Kennedy’s chart, he was a very open projector (all the white centers) with his heart and solar plexus being closed (colored and both motor centers) which did help to provide him with energy for taking action, although because they do not connect to the throat, he had to depend on other people to keep his energy going. With all the open centers, he was constantly ‘open’ to the influence of the world around him. More often than not, those open centers point to the people, energies and aspects of life that we are attracted too. Not just us, but also are genes. We are constantly looking for people who are closed/defined in areas we are not in order to mix up and positively influence our gene pool. As adults, it is our soul looking for wisdom. In his chart, one of his open centers, the G center/mind (4th one down) gave him the potential to totally let go of the search for identity and love, and to simply allow life, love and direction to be shown to him. It wasn’t his job to know who he was or to use his mind to decide where to go, or with whom. With this open identity, he was free to experience all kinds of identities, love and direction and to enjoy being with all kinds of people. Open G center people are usually sensitive to their environments. When they are in the right place, they meet the right people and it goes further, when they are with the right people, they will be taken to the right place. Whenever he needed to find consistency in his life, he would have needed to draw that guidance from those with a defined center. It was very important for him to trust whom he got this from as well as to be with people who were empowering so his life was fulfilled. When this didn’t happen, he made choices that were not in his or anyone’s bests interest (Barak Obama and Marilyn Monroe also have open G centers, and with each of them we know of plenty of examples of where this is true).

Traits of the projector are being able to manage, guide, and direct as well as be in leadership positions, things JFK did well and suited his design up to a point. In knowing some of his history, he also had numerous health problems (colitis, chronic back pain, thyroid issues, and Addison’s disease) which is very common with Projectors who are overextended, exhausted, bitter and not always following their design. In just thinking about his lifestyle, the constant decision making, late nights, stress, turmoil, his body definitely couldn’t handle it and then as I stated in an earlier blog (www.sangeetram.com/projectors-in-a-generator-world/) he needed to rest often and sleep before he was exhausted, which as president is not always easy to do. Balance in his life would have been extremely important. Other noticeable aspects are that in his family, being ambitious and competitive were rewarded and encourage, mainly by his father. Not only did the father push, but his sons pushed themselves too, which for a Projector can run all their energy into the ground. Helping in that was his defined heart (center in red), which is all about his will, in this case will power. Having the open sacral center, he honestly did not know when enough was enough. It also is the center for liking the conquest whether that be in political ambitions or the history we have all heard of the women in his life.

In looking at his gates, he had many that helped to guide him on his journey and explain his expression in his lifetime so well. A few prominent Gates (the numbers in purple ovals in the centers): 31- Leadership, 35 Jack of all trades, 15 love of humanity/diversity, 54 ambition, 30 intensity and burnout and 49 principles. He also had the channel 37-46 (where there is a solid line from one purple oval to another). This channel is about community contracts, peace, harmony and hard work.

Barak Obama has just as many opens centers as JFK, so he also was open to the influence of those around him, and in being a projector, he had a great gift to share with the world, but to do so with ease, needed to be invited. Like all projectors he does not have sustainable energy to work with for long periods of time, which is extremely difficult in the role of president. In you attempt to do this, you will break down either mentally, physical or both. When I look at the physical changes of him in office from day 1 through year 8, he aged faster than one would expect of someone his age and you can actually see the wear and tear of exhaustion on him.

His profile is the 6/2. The 6 represents Role Model and the 2 is the Hermit. In the 6th line (the role model) it lives out as three different stages in your life. As Obama was 48 in 2008 he was preparing to enter the 3 stage where one moves in the role model phase of their life. He had already tried things for the first 28 years of life and observed for the next 22, now if you are living your design accordingly, you are wiser and ready to step into the role of mentor. In this role you are passive and people are seeking you out for your expertise, help and advice. You only get involved when you deem it to be a worthy cause for those asking and also for yourself.

The 2nd line the hermit, pertains to the social aspect of his life. He definitely is someone who needs a lot of alone time, but there is a part of the energy that projects out to others, staying,
bring him out of hiding.” It is about balance. In his alone time, he would be able to integrate all that was going on in his world and processing new information or skills he would need. He would need to accept some invitations to go here and there, but definitely not to the extent that is needed in being president.

A few of his prominent gates are 2- higher knowledge, 33- privacy, 1, self-expression, 19- wanting (a need for community), 38-fighter, 29-saying yes (has the drive to say yes, but may lead to over commitment, but will push through when others quit), and 31-leadership. He has one channel, 41/30, the channel of recognition. This channel builds higher and higher towards joy and happiness until it reaches a peak and then plummets towards sadness and despair. Then it recycles going back towards joy and happiness.

He also has a left angle cross of refinement (gates 33, 19, 2, 1) which brings the energy of having your own living space and nice things. It also means he is here to ensure everyone has the right to their own private and inspirational space. Another aspect in his life process is dealing with karma and a need from others to help him fulfill his life destiny. He is not designed to carry out his purpose on his own.

In Marilyn Monroe’s chart, she is very balanced in her open and closed centers. The first thing I noticed is her defined crown (top center). Traits of a defined crown is being filled with inspiration that vanished when you are alone. In reading about her, she had so much stage fright and insecurity if she was by herself but was normally able to carry through when in the company of others. As her Ajna (second center) is defined also, if living her design her thinking would have worked in a reliable manner, where it was constantly making choices, comparing, evaluating and organizing. For so much of her life, she didn’t do this, letting others make her choices and then she would become quite bitter, angry and difficult to work with. She also had a defined solar plexus, which explains the ups and downs of her emotional outbursts. Those who have a defined solar plexus will go through emotional cycles from highs to lows in 2-3-day cycles. A helpful aspect for her would have been to know that making spontaneous decisions was not ever going to work out well. Sleeping on any decision is vital to contemplate all the aspects of her emotional cycle before any decision making. She was known to make decisions and then pull back and want to change often. With her root being defined (the bottom center) stress and pressure were natural parts of her life. They were to be her fuel to guide her, but as she wasn’t living her design, she became quite depressed.

Similar to JFK and Barak Obama, she has the open G/mind center and needed to ensure that she had people in her life with a defined G/mind center for guidance. When you do not have this, you are constantly in a state of flux of wondering how best to do things. I always say, just give me a syllabus for my life and everything I am involved in. If I have that guide or people I trust, I am fine, otherwise I can go in circles and wonder if this or that could have been done differently or better.

Gates of importance- 61- inner truth, 63- doubt, 64- diverse possibilities, 4-mental solutions (with this gate, her mind needed to be kept active and must have something to fix), 43- breakthrough (gave her an ability to always wanting to be making a difference to work project or other people’s lives, but others around may not fully understand or trust her authority), 16- selectivity, 62-expressed details, 50-values, 3-beginnings (this gate gave her the ability to start new projects or have a fresh start, but patience was needed. Wiping her slate clean, drawing up fresh plans and setting a foundation were important. Then she would have wanted to wait to be invited whereas many times she just jumped in and so many projects left her unfulfilled or were deemed by critics to be unsuccessful which was difficult for her to accept. Gate 30- desires (a burning desire to engage in life and experience all it has to offer. Also, it would have been helpful to let go of all expectations before entering into any relationships or business opportunities as any attachment to an outcome will lead to disappointment, 49- revolution (gave her the ability to feel when it was a time for change, or revolt. She had an inner drive to get life right, but needed to wait to be recognized or invited, 39- provocation (ability to stroke the fires or be riled, naturally flirtatious and can tease and tempt within any social circle, which fits what we know of her well).

She also had the 6/2 profile which was discussed under Barak Obama.

Nelson Mandela- his leadership abilities in his life and in his government, are well documented. Being a projector, he had no inherent energy, yet he was able to get his energy by having waited for the invitation before proceeding which gave him all the energy he needed to proceed and complete everything he was invited to do. His chart continually shows that leadership, unconditional love, fighting for fairness were inherent in him. It was his life's mission and he used his human design chart well to achieve all that he did.

In looking at his profile he is a 5/1. 5 is the Heretic and 1 is the Investigator. Being charismatic and naturally drawing people to him is part of his profile and well as being very knowledgeable about what he wanted to achieve and then how to bring people to his point of view.

He also had a defined head and ajna, so he was here to inspire others and to store a lot of information which he was able to do quite well.

Gate 25- love of spirit (unconditional love, healing energy and a deep connection to source). This gate is about making things fair for everyone, 62 – details, 3, bringing new change to the world, or transformation, gate 26- transmission and truth, 11- ideas for how to share his truth or teach others about the truth, 50, values and responsibility, 15- love of humanity and diversity.

He also had 2 channels, the 7/31 which is a channel for and 48/16 depth and enthusiasm, ability to be deep, thorough and communicate in a way to engage others.

As recognitions is important he certainly did as he received many awards including the Nobel Peace Prize. He truly lived his expression well and with him and it wasn’t about recognition for himself but what he was working for. As a no motors projector, his sustainability was amazing as he lived to 95. He truly surrounded himself with people who trusted and believed in him and he was able to utilize their energies to do all that was in his life path.
