- Saturn & Shores in Human Design -
----------------------------------------------------------
im listening to headlock by imogen heap on repeat rn so im sorry if i miss words or anything bc im dyslexic and have adhd 😵💫 BUT i just had a fucking huge realization and i need to get it out immediately
so im a manifestor in human design right, my environment is also shores- my mom is a generator and her environment is also shores-
i did some vague research into shores a while ago and we both had trouble figuring out how it made sense for us- that is, until i just dove into it and it all clicked.
so shores isn't necessarily you're meant to be by a body of water, but it absolutely can be- shores as an environment in human design actually means you thrive in the spaces between.
common examples of these spaces include the porch of your house, it's inbetween your home and the outside world, allowing you a view of both at the same time. windows are a boundary between your home and the outside world as well, and also supply you a view.
the view is imperative here- you thrive in the spaces inbetween where you can see everything going on.
a personal example I can give for this, i always love standing in the hallway between my room and the kitchen- whenever there's commotion going on, I'll observe from the hallway because I'm out of the way and can see everything going on- i am quite literally standing in the space between my room and the kitchen.
i have a theory that people who are very observant have a strong connection to shores in one way or another- my mom and i are the kinds of people that barely let ANYTHING go unnoticed- most people mind their own business in a waiting room, me and my mom are watching everyone around us because we're just built like that.
the point of the shores environment is a Boundary, you thrive on the boundary line drawn between two spaces.
the planet of boundaries in astrology is Saturn- Saturn is NOT the planet of limitation or restriction in any way, like ive said 100000 times before, it's the planet that dissolves our ego.
except it doesn't dissolve our ego, it dissolves the LIMITS of our ego- Our ego is the storyteller of our life, and saturn wants us to dissolve its limits so we can live a fuller, more fulfilled life and learn even more in this lifetime.
regardless, saturn still represents boundaries and BALANCE, it wants us to balance all things in our life while maintaining growth.
environments in human design are also known as colors, and shores is the 6th color. Saturn is the 6th planet from the sun.
there's several incredibly important boundaries in life that people with the shores environment may feel more inclined to explore and tread along.
1. the boundary between our planet and space- if you're like me and you love nothing more than the stars in the sky and seeing any cool visible space events, that's a boundary.
2. the boundary between the ocean and land, and water as a whole. Bodies of water are like their own little pockets of life separate from ours, even light travels differently if you go deep enough (colors shift until it's pitch black and abyssal)
3. the boundary and balance between ego and soul, aka saturn's playground
4. the boundary between our reality and the spirit realm, aka the veil. The thinner this boundary gets around halloween, the more it moves from being like a porch-sized boundary, to being like a window.
saturn can be associated with just about any of these boundaries, since it in itself is a boundary- its rings are a constant balancing act, so if you also had a fascination with saturn, just as a planet or astrologically, you might have a shores environment.
i also read an article that said video games or books, i would say even music, qualify as part of these boundaries because they're essentially different realities- and that is FASCINATING to me because I've always LOVED music and video games- I get lost in games super easily too because i literally feel like im IN that reality-
i have a feeling that's why i get lost in any creative pursuit i do too- ive always considered all my edits to be tiny fragments of my soul because im literally building a mini-reality from the ground up and then whenever i go back to watch them, I remember the feeling i put in them as if i made them 3 minutes ago.
to make matters worse, i also have saturn in leo in my 1st house, and my 5th house is in scorpio with my jupiter in it 🫡
so if you're also a shores environment in human design or have a strong saturn placement, id be interested to know if you're as inclined to these boundaries im talking abt- I think the connection between saturn and shores is REALLY interesting and now i know why saturn seems to have so much power in my chart for no reason 🤔
