Alokanand Diaz is a prominent Human Design teacher currently living in Spain. His life changed after he met Ra Uru Hu in Ibiza in 1993, which led him to become one of Ra's first students and a Certified Human Design Analyst and Teacher. He spent years traveling with Ra and serving as his Spanish translator.
In this episode, Alok returns to speak with us about his journey with Human Design, emphasizing the importance of the BodyGraph as the absolute foundation of the system. Our conversation touches on the evolution of the Solar Plexus center, the role of the outer planets, and the challenge of balancing desire, need, and indecisiveness in the individual psyche and in relationship. As always, Alok brings a depth of consciousness and personal awareness to the essentials of the system and how to explore them in the context of current social and collective influences.

Maria Mateus is a 6/3 Emotional Manifesting Generator on the Left Angle Cross of Duality. She has been studying and practicing astrology since her teens and has recently come off the roof in her 6th Line process. Maria has a BA in Psychology and one of a handful of MA degrees in Astrology from Kepler College. Her research has culminated in a deep understanding of astrology as a language apart from its common use as a kind of personality typing system.
In this episode, we discuss some of the key areas of focus in her work including the birth chart as a story of becoming, life as a journey, and the chart as our itinerary, polarities, and the compensatory nature of signs. We also touch on timing and the turning of the birth chart, and explore how the spiritually “good” charts are the challenging ones, along with several other common misconceptions in astrology. We hope you enjoy the conversation.
